I'm in love. Finished season 1 and started season 2, and iunneven. I just can't even.


Anyone else have recommendations for tv shows with the word black in them? I've been a pretty big fan of those recently.

What's that bout yo?

Its a group of people going around battling magical beasts, collecting magical artifacts, etc. Similar to Warehouse 13 if you've seen that. Based on "The Librarian" which was a series of I think either movies or specials for TV.

Did you do your Galivant review? I have not been over there today, and am curious if we agree.

Been feeling a little too sick to do reviews. Finally getting better.

Galvant reviews will be next week though, for the premiere and for the coming episode. Since my other shows are on break next week :P

We just started House of Cards.

I like it so far! Although I binged on the first three series and am now taking a little break from it.
Did anyone watch Torchwood?

Finally saw Grand Budapest Hotel which was indeed quite grand also saw In Bruges a recommendation from Das Porcu it is a great dark comedy if anyone is interested and recently started watching Arrested Development and I <3 it.

Still trying to get to Orphan Black.

Grand Budapest Hotel is awesome. I could see that again for sure.

I've been rewatching True Detective for the past week

I loved True Detective. I watched it as it was airing, then I got it for Christmas, and am going to watch it again soonish. You catch things you missed the first time each time you watch it.

Sporadically. I don't find the characters as interesting. I'd prefer Jack had a seperate series going from planet to planet.

So probably should skip it

Just watched the first episode of Wolf Hall. Holy crap what a total Supernerd Tudor geekout extravaganza!!

Mark Rylance is AMAZEBALLS, as is the rest of the cast, so far I think the adaptation from the novels has been thoughtful, I LOVE the choices they're making with lighting, and I LOVE that there is very little attempt to simplify a complicated plot for a broad audience.

I am going to marry Mark Rylance, and Hilary Mantel will officiate.

That is all.

I liked it once I got past Gwen's whining.

I'm probably going to be watching this soon since keys seems keen to.

I've ran out of House of Cards (although more should be out soon!) so I think it's back to Dr. Who.

I'm in the middle of the 3rd season of Battlestar Galactica. I can't get enough. Also, Dr. Who might be my favorite show. Brooklyn 99 is a close second.

Good call on battlestar and dr who zombra! I've only seen 1 episode of broklyn but it seems pretty cool.

I'm watching Battlestar Galactica too.

Anybody else been watching Better Call Saul?!

I saw the first.one. we haven't had time for TV catch up lately but I like it so far!

I haven't started it yet but will soon.

I also have Backstrom ready to watch of anyone can tell me if that is good at all

I have it backing up on the DVR. So no spoilers although i hear good things.

I like Backstrom.

I like Backstrom - I watch it when Diggz isn't around. It's not omg mindlblowingly awesome - it's pretty much what you'd expect. Alcoholic and caustic Dwight solves murder crimes - but I enjoy it.

I would describe it the same way. It is not appointment TV for me but passes the time pretty well. House as a detective.

Cool. I heard similar reviews after the pilot but haven't checked anything since. I used to watch House, and I love Rainn Wilson, so I'm very hopeful.

I was trying not to say it's House as a detective even though it is -

Only because House was supposed to be Sherlock as a doctor -

And if we're making that comparison we should all be watching ya know.... Sherlock.

And Elementary - because they are both pretty rad.

But I like Backstrom too - the supporting cast is starting to come into their own and that's fun.

That's good to hear. I was kinda worried about that. A lot of times when a show has such a fantastic center character it makes the supporting cast seem flat and boring.

For me - I think it as the exact opposite problem. Backstrom is interesting - but a type. He's excactly what you'd expect if you mooshed House and Dwight together. The supporting cast is interesting to me in a) how they deal with him and also b) because they don't really fall as much into a "type" There are more than one of the supporting cast that I always seem to find myself paying more attention to than Backstrom - so I like that about the show.

I'm liking Better Call Saul, it is as good as I expected.

Battlestar Galactica was pretty damn good, but it kind of lost me toward the end, especially the Starbuck thing.

My favourite line in the entire series is Saul Tigh during, what was it, the Trial of Gaius Baltar? "You hear that? They're playing music in here now?" Saul was my favourite.

Is anyone even watching The 100???

Not yet. I have season 1 ready to watch. Leggy told me it's very good

It's so good. I love it!

I'm not going to lie, this is why I am going to be watching:



Some things never change.

LOL - its why I started too. But it is pretty good.

fingersplints wrote:Not yet. I have season 1 ready to watch. Leggy told me it's very good

It is!!! I'm behind on it now tho, I haven't seen they episodes since it came back from break and I know the finale was this past week, so I need to get on it !!!

I've not been watching it so I can watch Empire. If you haven't seen it, I HIGHLY recommend it!!! So good!!

(Also not ashamed to admit that I wanted to see it because of Desmond too, sadly he isn't running through the jungle naked... yet )

tumblr, within the last week, has alerted me of the 100... what network is it on??? I've never even heard of it???

I believe it is on the CW network

Yeah, it's on The CW network.

It's 100 years since a global disaster (nuclear?) rendered the Earth uninhabitable. There's several hundred people living on an orbiting space station called The Ark, something they cobbled together from a few stations that existed with the poop hit the fan.

Resources are running out, and the Ark government makes the decision to test the Earth for habitability by sending down 100 young people (mostly teenagers) who are also convicts. When they reach the ground, they not only find out that the Earth is habitable... there is apparently a sizeable group of people who did not leave, and did not die.

Dom, this show makes all the right moves for me. I am just loving it.

I echo LC's thoughts here.

Diggz and I have been enjoying the heck out of this show. Given all the circumstances of all the people involved they make some fucked up right at the time choices. And the production is nice as well. They use music in an interestingly fitting way.

The radiohead song at the end of S! is one of my more favorite uses of music in TV in recent history.

Starbuck is annoying. I finished Battlestar now! I liked it. I'm glad I finally watched it.

I love Starbuck. She is my girl crush.....

I'm watching this old British show called Red Dwarf. Has anyone ever seen this? it's not great, but I think it's funny and I like the characters. that guy who evolved from a cat

I have not seen Red Dwarf since I was a teenager lol its a great B grade syfy show. The Cat is descended from Frankenstein a domestic cat lmao - jeepers the memories you just brought back hahaha

Has anyone else been enjoying The Almighty Johnsons? I totes dig this show.

I have been watching several series lately, most of tthem all are in break now
but Im waiting for them to eventually continue:

Falling Skies, I like it a lot since the start, coming final season

The 100, second season finished, the actor from lost, can not recall his real name "Desmond" is In (too lazy to google him), with himself the show is already great for me, but is a good concept

Extant, With Halle Barry, I like the sci-fi concept

Legends with Sean Bean as main characther, a good amount of paranoia and detectives, good show

The Strain based in the books of Guillermo del Toro, (I read the first book and the show is very close to it)

The Walking Dead, just finished watching the last episode today

Waiting for Game of Thrones

12 Monkeys, based in the movie which is one of my favorites movies ever, so far Im intrigued and Im ok with the modifications and changes

I like that show. Sad there was.only 1 season that I could tell. least thats all Netflix had.....

Lately I've been rewatching Band of Brothers... great show

I just started in on Walking Dead last week, albeit slowly. I'm way too squeamish for this show and yet it draws me in.

Four episodes in a week. I finished Breaking Bad in about 3 weeks-ish.

I'm glad to find someone else who is squeamish about Walking Dead. I watched the first two and gave up. I also don't watch GoT or The Following for the same reason.
