General TV show discussion

treme is excellent

those that doubt me, suck cock by choice

I surprisingly like Downtown Abbey a lot. Mary is a total fox. Dont care much for Homeland at all. A show about the CIA and foreign affairs could be really interesting, but shit gets so ridiculous.

Thanks guy, ill give it a go.

And, I'm not too sure, I remember reading an interview w/ David Cross but he may of been talking about the movie. Well have to wait and see, I suppose.

Rawls easily has some of the best lines in The Wire.

[esoteric]

In general, I just find the show really boring. I seriously dislike Ron Perlman (Clay) and it's almost unbearable watching that Neandertal attempt to act. There are so many terrible actors on the show... the dude who plays Tig initally comes to mind.

I'll admit that it's been several years since I watched Season 1, but I don't recall it being bad. Season 2 was about some white power group and was forgettable. Basically every episode of Season 3 focused on the gang trying to rescue Jax's kidnapped son... god that season was fucking bad. And the last two seasons have been more forgettable bullshit trying to make a story with drama among Jax, Tara, Gemma, and Clay.

The entire show is just a drama triangle with Jax, Gemma, and Clay. Then each season, the writers add a few characters to the mix of that drama (so I guess it technically isn't a triangle anymore).

Yeah I watch the show, but I basically watch everything on television. And honestly, it serves as background noise while I'm doing other shit because it's completely uninteresting. I'm not saying you shouldn't watch it, but I am saying that there is WAY better stuff on television, i.e. Breaking Bad.

I can understand this now, as I've gotten through to the end of Season 4. I still find the show enjoyable, but there definitely is a lack of substance per se. Season 3 was definitely dragged out and boring but entertaining to watch at the same time, if that makes sense. Breaking Bad is definitely better and I'm going to start watching that some more.

I got pretty interested in Suits last year and I think that is making it's come back pretty soon

Suits went from a guilty pleasure to a show that I really enjoy.

I like to pretend that everyone in NYC lives/behaves like the dudes in Suits. And maybe everyone up there pretends that people down south all live in a Justified episode.

its pretty much the same shit. no rza tho

[fobsquad]

i just figured out how to make gifs

[bima0101]

how did weeds make it 8 seasons?

[Layne]

^ How did I actually watch every season of Weeds?

Justified is off to a great start. Olyphant and Walter Goggins are both great.

Random comment... Last night I got into an argument with this girl cuz she was saying House of Lies is the second best show on television (behind Breaking Bad). Then she proceeded to say "I bet you're one of those people who likes The Wire, aren't you?" She began talking about falling asleep during the first few episodes, and I immediately hated everything about her existence.

[akuma no uta]

you should have killed her and put her in an abandoned building

[Magsåvningsreserven]

i bet you probably like the sopranos too, ugh, you make me sick

[mrip]

does justified have an actual plot?

i watched a few eps when it first aired and it seemed like every ep was a 'monster of the week' and i couldnt get into it.

also please rate it accordingly: major network level, tbs level, showtime level, hbo level

-thx

[Magsåvningsreserven]

if you can get through those eps, an overarching story begins to develop and you instead have a 'big bad' for each of the seasons

recurring characters, callbacks from earlier seasons etc etc

Edited January 17, 2013 by Magnetic

[Layne]

Agree with Mag about Justified. Get thru the first several eps and it really starts to develop. I've said numerous times that it gets better every season, IMO at least.

As far as ratings... it's probably my favorite show on FX (I do love Louie though). I'm not gonna say it's as good as the top tier HBO shows, but it's a solid series.

[fobsquad]

i think like most cop shows(major network level), it will always have that 1 badguy/ep thing. but certain characters keep the overall backplot going. interestingly enough, the setting allows for lots of potential story.

think

The Shield x Dexter by The Man with No Name

[Layne]

Anyone ever hear of / watch Pod Prikritie, aka Undercover? It's supposed to be incredible but it's fucking Bulgarian.... and I can't find anything with English subtitles.

Edited January 20, 2013 by Layne

[Layne]

Magnetic, thanks for the tip on Utopia. Seems like it's gonna be solid. The "chili, sand, bleach, spoon" scene was intense!

[akuma no uta]

season opener of archer gave mt eh biggest boner from laughing. fuck yeah, so glad its back,.

[Layne]

Why the fuck are there 3 weeks before the Revenge season finale?

I'm pathetic.
