I am excited, and I don't get excited.

oh man, mr robot is so dope.

 

hard to believe it's a usa network show.

[llobey]

mr robot corny AF

 

white rose alright tho

[jayrock]

At least Christian Slater wasn't completely imaginary I guess.

They could still dial back on the buzz words a bit. Other tech related shows like Silicon Valley and Halt and Catch Fire are able to be relevant without the barrage of terms flying at you. It's like the writer is trying to show off for the audience almost then at the same time they do stuff to dumb it down for the average Joe that's completely unnecessary like when dude named his "hacking" laptop with his own first name lol, as if the viewers couldn't put 1 and 1 together for that scene

That said, I'm really liking the Tyrell storyline. That dude really wants that CTO job eh

With mr robot, I had tried to stop myself from jumping to too many theories about it. I never really picked up on the theory of mr robot not being real. I just really hope he doesn't turn out to be elliot. That would be a complete fight club rip off, with the plot to try to take out the credit history of everybody.

mr robot is more watchable than halt and catch fire... that shit was SO corny and everyone felt like a caricature.

Well, shit. Weak

serious fight club rip off, all the way down to that awful version of "where is my mind"......

[t3hg0suazn]

I thought the piano cover was nice, and it shows that they are "ripping it off" intentionally. It's just a question of how the story develops now.

better than i expected

[GrammerNazi]

bloodline surprised me. slow burner, but it picks up heavy after the first 3 or so episodes. plus, haven't seen a good thriller on tv in a minute.

[Magsåvningsreserven]

mr robot is hardly diminished by using an idea you've seen alread; within the context of everything that's gone on it works. it felt more of an homage than a straight rip-off anyway.

 

it was a great ep, the series' trajectory is still headed upwards for me.

this was the deadest week in tv in a while, finally broke out The Corner boxset i've been hoarding for a time like this. I'm halfway through but It's really, really... really good.

better than i expected

Just caught a preview for this. Looks like a pretty solid cast, some good old fashioned gangster drama - enough for me to try

[SSchadenfreude]

^dont kno if I'm getting the ep schedule mixed up or how diff it is depending on region, but a bunch of ep (future, presumably) leaked and are online

[jayrock]

according to wikipedias it looks like the 4 four episodes were released online prior to the OTA airings

fucking nutzo but a good ending to the three season run imo

 

stacks up nicely against silence and manhunter

[Magsåvningsreserven]

show me a hero was so fucking good, bros

[SSchadenfreude]

 

has it's moments.  sometimes lol sometimes stoops.  

[jayrock]

Finally caught the first two episodes of Public Morals... so far, so good. Casting is pretty unreal for a TNT joint, looking forward to the progression

Haven't seen new South Park or League yet... Prob gonna be good tho

[SSchadenfreude]

Bastard executioner sucks so much

[anklspr]

narcos was good.

[Layne]

Last season was fantastic from start to finish. I'll let you decide for your self on this season. Two episodes out, one came out last night.
