Nathan For You season 2 starts July 1

Watching season 1 on amazon right now, some pretty hilarious episodes

[Layne]

pumped that rectify is back and esp since there's more than 6 episodes

 

halt and catch fire can't hold my attention for shit.  I don't care about any of the characters, the one-liners are awful, and it just seems boring as fuck tbh

[jayrock]

Each character is a walking cliche

Speaking of boring as fuck, haven't watched the new Penny Dreadful yet either. Kinda sad that and Halt and Catch Fire are the only new shows out right now. The Strain needs to hurry the F up

Last Week Tonight was brilliant again, as always

just marathoned 7 eps of rectify and 9 eps of new 24

 

not sure how i feel about rectify yet, the writing seems a bit lazy

 

24 obv has gotten worse every season but the formula still kinda works for such a shitty show

[SSchadenfreude]

watched fx's tyrant pilot.  was pretty decent.  will watch next ep

[jayrock]

watched fx's tyrant pilot. was pretty decent. will watch next ep

I'll get on that

Anyone seen The Bridge on FX? Not even completely sure it has premiered yet, but they've been on point as of late and the preview is alright

HBO's The Leftovers starts on Sunday. I'll prob watch, because why not it's HBO

[wrong_move]

Tyrant is already looking like a middle eastern Godfather. Hopefully it won't be too predictable

[Ecotrons]

started penny dreadful, halfway through. its aite so far but I dont think id even watch if eva green wasnt there.

Tyrant was pretty good, the pilot was very effective and I look forward to more episodes

On season 4 of Justified now, has been pretty satisfying the whole time.

The programming on FX lately has been right up there with HBO imo

[Magsåvningsreserven]

i have so many shows to catch up on, mainly due to being held up by ER for the last couple months or so. 

 

fucking hell it's so, so good, i'm up to halfway of season 6. watched the famous, 'Love's Labor Lost' episode and started the whole series from the beginnging. it's a nice snapshot of the 90s as well.

[dimmak]

The Leftovers did not disappoint. Can't wait for the next episode, and to find out more about the Smokers.

[SuE]

‘Community’ to Return for New Season on Yahoo

I've seen the first season of the bridge (well Bron/Broen) and am currently watching season 2, much recommended. Good depressing Scandinavian series but also funny as hell because of the main characters interactions (she's got mild asperger so is always blunt to the point of offensiveness.).

2 eps into tyrant and it seems pretty solid.

It's a pretty dumb show

Halt and catch fire too

Still need to watch e02 of tyrant

Nathan for you s02e01 was a pretty good continuation of the first season

Starting justified s05 soon, looking forward to it

Yeah, anyone seen Mammon?

[jayrock]

Finished up all of justified and just recently started the wire for the first time finally. All in all very satisfied

Also going to start The Bridge soon hopefully cuz season 2 starts this week I think

[jayrock]

Okay so apparently there are 2 shows called The Bridge

The original Danish / Swedish Broen/Bron

And the new FX version based on the original

Will check out both I guess, since the original is only 2 seasons (for now saw on a site season 3 won't release until 2015??) and the FX version season 2 starts this week

[Fuuma]

In fact there is also a french/uk remake called the tunnel/le tunnel.

 

I've only seen the original series (both seasons now).

[Magsåvningsreserven]

original one is v good, heard the others are alright.

 

bbc4 hype, we love the scandi-dramas in the UK--the killing, borgen, wallander and bron, as well as engrenages and les revenants from france

 

+

 

half-way through ER and 9 more eps of seinfeld left. along with friends and frasier, nbc must've been a juggernaut back in the day...

[jayrock]

Dunno if anyone uses Plex Media Server (you should, it's awesome) but I was able to get the original The Bridge Bron/Broen to be recognized by naming the folder "Bron (2011)"

(plex pulls all the metadata like cover art, show descriptions, etc.)

Ya Scandi is big in UK, I think that's where they sold the most units of that fisherman sweater the girl from the killing always wears. I haven't seen Borgen, you liked it?

[funkyrounds]

Yeah, anyone seen Mammon?

 

it's fucking woeful, stay far away

[xpaulinabearx]

just finished season 1 of veep, was pretty funny. heard it only gets better each season. anybody else watch?

[jayrock]

The Strain and s02 of Masters of Sex started last night

Haven't watched either yet but still, sweet
