The Syndicate

Just hit season 4 of Walking Dead. Hoping to catch up before season 6 starts.

Has anyone here checked out Sense8? I absolutely LOVED it, do recommend.

I was actually just debating watching it now! Glad to hear a good review of it though, because I was just considering it based off of that Netflix seems to really want me to watch it and I saw Naveen Andrews in the preview.

I'm probably also starting Parks and Recreation soon. I have never seen any of it and am not familiar with it other then the basic premise, who a few of the cast/producers are, and everyone loves it

Anyone going to watch Season 3 of Under the Dome? My wife and I are. It starts this week but old farts like us have to watch in On Demand the next day because 10:00 is too late for us to watch anything but the news.

Everyone should watch "Silicon Valley". Probably the best supporting ensemble in any comedy since Parks & Rec (though a TOTALLY different vibe/tone than P&R). It's fucking hilarious, especially if you have personal experience in or connections to people in the Tech/software industry. My bf spends a lot of the show cringing because it's a leeeeetle too close to home for him, but HOT DAWG it's funny shit.

I will watch season 3 of under the dome, but I will probably wait until it comes for tv here, which is usually few months later from the usa

Im looking forward for Falling skies and Extant, begging soonish

I have been watching Secrets and Lies and Penny Dreadfull, but Im behind from what it has aired already

Agreed, second season has gotten real solid and its funniest bits were both the unforeseen and well prepared kind. Props to whoever played that Russ guy, one can easily play a brash buffoon and not much more these days, but his best bits of acting were kinda subtle.

I binging Parks and Rec this summer (well, it'll probably take me less than that). This better be good, y'all. This better be good.

Aaand season 1 went by fast in two sits, because the whole thing is kinda short. I only laughed consistently at Book Club so far. Dat Swanson face when he realized he has to sit through Leslie's confession rather than having it on e-mail was priceless. Fat Pratt is pretty fat; and good, I can see why they kept him. Paul Schneider needs to go oh wait he will woo.

Ok, season 2 ep 4 was insane. That's more like it.

So season 2 was hella fun, but I'm not feeling it with season 3, at least the first half. Say it isn't so.

Rashida Jones needs to go...damn, I should have known lightning doesn't struck twice.

I still haven't started Parks and Rec. I did start Orange is the New Black. (I am on episode 2) I feel like from what I have heard everyone who has watched it loves it and has called it a great binge show, but it hasn't really grabbed my attention yet. Any fans of the show remember about where they were hooked?

Don't worry, Parks and Rec is definitely good. And definitely worth it. Season 1 wasn't great, but it gets better.

Season 3 or 4 is probably my favorite, but I really don't know what my favorite season is.

Annie and I have started a Dead Like Me watch (re-watch for her, brand new for me), and it's actually pretty solid. I don't love it, but I like it more than I thought I would, since I was a bit skeptical.

So far s2 still hit it right with me, followed maybe by s4 > s3.

Yeah, it's a tough call, all three of those seasons are pretty good.

I have been watching old reruns of Beverly Hills 90210

Also I have tried to track down and illegally download Penny Dreadfull and I cannot find it anywhere

My computer was reformated, and I lost some stuff, and most of the penny dreadfull episodes, I only have 8, 9 10 from season 2 (which I still have not finished)
if I had them all, I could had send you a copy

I am 3/4 through the 2nd season of Orphan Black. That actress, Tatiana Maslany, is seriously amazing. Sometimes I actually forget she is the same person playing all of those roles.

It's SOOOO GOOOOD, and season 3 is even better than season 2. so pumped for season 4.

The Strain, second season (based in Guillermo del Toro books, I did read the first book in spanish, and the first season was very close to the book)

Dark Matter, from Sci-Fi channel, I like the concept and somehow I think the main idea will make a good game of mafia

I'm watching The Strain right this moment. I'm on episode 6 of season 1. I read all the books a few years back, but I'm starting to lose steam. Should I stick with it?

I just finished Ascension, which was wholly lukewarm and mediocre.

I'm thinking about starting Wayward Pines tomorrow.

it is a slow show, like sometimes it takes a while to pick up on things, but I think is an ok show, but if you finished watching season 1 and you did not like it, you problably wont like season 2 eitheir, so far Im on like episode 3 and I like it as Im not watching other similar themes and I find something appealing about the main characther actor

I just started Wayward Pines this week, and I really like it so far.

For anyone getting into Wayward Pines - Really good show, I think. For being an M. Night Shyamalan series, it's actually enjoyable. Some people had issues with it but I don't think the criticisms hold up.

I think my criticisms are perfectly justified.

I will just be pissed if it ends up being Purgatory. Although having spent a fair amount of time in Idaho, having it be Purgatory might add a dose of realism.

There was a time most people thought the earth was flat.

Spoiler: show

It's a sci-fi version of The Village, only the creatures are real and not a charade, and with characters exhibiting the least amount of common sense imaginable.

I liked it up until the "here's why you really can't leave town" explanation.

For what it was (a 10-episode mini series by M. Night) I felt the story flowed into those decisions just fine.

I want to watch Wayward Pines, but Im already somewhat spoiled about it, cause I seen the previous on tv, so I sort of know whats going on, so I have not try to download it, but I may try it

That guy wrote the book on which the series is based.

I am really liking it so far

But I m only up to the part where

I started bingeing on Downton Abbey. Never saw it before.

One of the greatest programs of this time.

OMG it's great.

Favorite character?

I'm only on season one. I know who I hate more than who I like.

I like Sybil. I like Bates.

All right. Keep me posted.

Finally catching up on the 3rd season of Orphan Black, on episode 8 out of 10 right now and wow this show is just so good

I love Daisy and her father in law <3

Fear the Walking Dead:

Exactly as slow paced as I thought it would be
Interesting characters, if only to see how they get broken and put back together
Looks/plays different enough from TWD

Was scouring Hulu for new stuff to watch, and I seen Kitchen Nightmares on here. I completely forgot what great entertainment Gordon Ramsay is. This guy is fucking hilarious.

Idiot Sandwich is one of the greatest scenes to ever air.

I'm watching Show Me A Hero on HBO, which is going slower here (one episode per week) than in the USA I think (two episodes per week). It's directed by Paul Haggis (Crash) and written by David Simon (The Wire) and you can almost feel both cinematic worlds colliding in harmony. Critics call it gripping television, but I'm not so fascinated by it yet.

I watched Wayward Pines. Overall good, but it was not without a few things that made me go "eeeh."

I was partway through that when I was hard detoured by Downton Abbey. I think I will start it again this week.

Just started binge watching Orphan Black. Done Season 1. It's perfect silly/thrill-y/sci-fi awesomeness, and Tatiana Maslany is AWESOME. Bonus: it's all shot/set in Toronto so I get lots of great nostalgia moments every time my old hood shows up!

I found out yesterday that Under the Dome has been cancelled. It's a shame because I think Season 3 has been pretty good. I hope they end it well and with closure.

This won't help my aversion to committing to TV shows.

Perhaps it will get picked up by another channel. That's happened recently with a couple of shows I like

Seriously, people. Watch Orphan Black. For realizes.

Just finished the Season 2 finale, and I am so in love with this show. Shitballs, its great.

I am done with Season 3, and yeah. It only gets better. She is AMAZEBALLS. I hope her career goes somewhere, she is an amazing actress. I ALWAYS forget that Helena & Alison are the same actress. Like all.the.time.
