I'm the Anti-Christ. You got me in a vendetta kind of mood.

its really dark and gory which will always limit an audience but at the heart of it im afraid youre right....definitely too atmospheric for the simple minded

That or the shield is next in the queue for me.

Got a long line of shows to watch, but Hannibal is one of them. Definitely doing House of Cards first. Then maybe Turn. Still gotta do Breaking Bad at some point too.

perhaps you could explain sd's reasons for "disliking" it as well since you seem to be so in tune with other peoples minds

I am on s4 of Mad Men and I have Friday Night Lights, House of Cards, The Shield and Hannibal to come.

True Detective starts in two weeks

House of Cards is not worth it whatsoever.  Season 1 is fine.  Season 2 is legitimately bad, and I quit in Season 3.

I love HOC, but Frank Underwood (Spacey) carries the show.

i checked out like 3 episodes of this show called Power cuz I saw some 50 cent commercial about it. i guess he produces it and has some cameos.

started out maybe ok but shtein was so cheesy.

the main girl is this hot latina that you can tell grew up in orange county or something. hot but the switch between valley girl accent and fake latina drove me nuts.

then the main dude, the kingpin, is even worse. maybe 25% of the show he's actually pretty good and acting tough but i could just tell he was a hipster nerd. then I IMDB'd him.

apparently he almost made the chargers which was surprising but is also an accomplished poet. i mean thats totally fine he's an actor but drug kingpin is definitely out of his wheelhouse. not a bad actor, but needs to play the nice guy. just couldn't pull it off.

the wife was pretty hot though. like a younger taraji henson she will make it big.

4/10 for lots of sex and cool drug stuff.

veep droppin the emmy mic this season.
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

Started watching the Wachowski's Sense8 on Netflix.  I'm five episodes in and holy shtein this is great.

not surprising at all but true detective is getting crushed critically

Not surprised, nothing in the history of television will ever be able to match the greatness of the first season.

ice grillin you

first season was ok...but the minute the cast was released for this season you knew it was going to be garbage

rewatch s1, sd....it aint all that

the plot is pedestrian and the story is cliched. its all in the directing and maconohay chewing scenary. the further i get away from it the more i dislike it. i mean dont get me wrong its not bad, its just had a lot of fluff and hype.

s2 has lke igy said a weak cast....no cary farginaga.....and the critics really soured on it toward the end and as they got further away from it, too.
