TV Show Thread

Funny you say that. I almost made a Dexter-SoA comparison yesterday. SoA and Dexter both got more and more ridiculous as they went on. But you either stick with it or you don't. I guess I can't really blame anyone for jumping ship. I LOATHED the ending to Dexter and both shows were a shell of their former selves by the time they ended. But overall I really enjoyed the ride(/s) so I'm not complaining too much.

Bates is excellent Although like you I've only seen the 1st season. Not seen Peaky Blinders but have heard tons of great things.

I've been a big proponent for Gotham but it definitely has some issues and they're becoming more apparent as the show goes on. What worries me is it doesn't seem to be improving enough. It isn't any noticeably better today than it was the first couple episodes.

 

one more month..

 

Yeah you pretty much nailed it. I heard Dexter got pretty bad near the end before I even started the show. So when it became more difficult to finish episodes I just decided to stop. Sons kinda snuck up on me. The first few seasons were great and then it just went downhill imo. I was watching it during the same time as a few of my friends. They were shocked I dropped it but a few days later they did the same.

I actually think Gotham will come back stronger in the 2nd season. They're trying to do so much right now you almost forget it's still their 1st season. Similar to Agents of Shield, they'll regroup and get everything turned around.

 

Just started season 4 of Game of Thrones aka just made it through the Red Wedding. What even.

 

Finished Fargo. It was awesome.

Spoiler

I thought it lost a bit of steam when it flashed forward a year, but it quickly picked back up. I figured half way through the season that this was a standalone story just like True Detective, and that's how I heard they're approaching it. I can't decide if I want to just be surprised by the new cast for season 2 or if I should just go ahead and look... I'm not all that confident in True Detective this season. Vince Vaughn and Colin Farrell? Eh it obviously won't come close to the first season, but I'll still watch.

 

yes the Fargo TV show was great.

Spoiler

when the 2 killers kidnapped the wrong guy and still offed him... one guy angering the hole in the ice while the other one was slapping the guy to 'calm him down' then they chucked his tied up arse headfirst into the ice hole!!!!

I was cryin with laughter

 

cruds you hit the nail on the head with SoA. it is like they hired a buch of writers from daytime soap operas. thse
e show relies too heavily on drama created by characters keeping secrets from each other.


season 2: the villian makes little sense. he is like a cartoon villian who is evil for the sake of being evil. his reasons for doing what he does and going to the extent he does are really weak.

 

I stopped watching SoA after whats his face had his baby stolen. Too much for me.
