My point is...isn't the sequel coming out soon? So we have a series along with a sequel. It just seems like overkill...especially with so much zombie stuff coming out now. I feel like most of Hollywood operates on the assumption that it's customers are all 6 year olds some times.

Like candy? MOAR CANDY!

While I get your point. Candy doesn't seem like the best analogy; as "MOAR CANDY!!!" is solid philosophy in my eyes.

That depends. There's more material there overall and they don't bother me in the same way. I guess it's them making a series out of it at the same time as another movie coming out. It just reeks.

At face value, sure. But then you'll eventually get sick

 

[MiyamotoMusashi]

There are no plans for a sequel at the moment, at least not in January this year when i read an article about the director.

 

[xi0]

Ah yeah, looks like it was changed from that to a series

 

[MiyamotoMusashi]

Somebody following Justified? The season started not so well but the second half, i mean episodes 6-11, turned things around.

 

[White Rabbit]

Man, those british Mini-Series... I watched Utopia these days and this little 6-episode-monster really blew me away.
Great suspension-stuff and sooooooo beautifully shot!!!

Utopia will follow a group of people who find themselves in possession of a manuscript of a cult graphic novel. The tome is rumoured to have predicted the worst disasters of the last century and the group soon find themselves targeted by a shadowy organisation known only as The Network.

 

[Crude]

I saw ads for that on TV. Looked interesting, though I couldn't really make sense of what the series was actually about

 

[White Rabbit]

I couldn't really make sense of what the series was actually about

I thought that too... even after watching the first episode.
But as the pieces of the story fall into place, it all makes sense. The twists and turns are always well thougt out and not just stylistic devices to shock the audience.
If I would have to put it in a specific genre I would call it a conspiracy-thriller/character-drama.

 

[Imperium]

I've begun watching the league. That show about fantasy football. I dont really like Mark duplass...(he has a face that you really want to punch...>.>) but besides that its quite entertaining.

 

[xi0]

I watched a season or two of it. It's pretty funny.

 

[Imperium]

Yea im nearing the end of the second season. The third is also on netflix so I might as well watch that one too.

 

[xi0]

I get the feeling that too many people relate to it because they think their stupid league with friends is the same. At least, that's what my cousin thinks.

 

[MiyamotoMusashi]

It´s funny at first but it gets too repetitive for my tastes because there is no versatility to the jokes.

So Happy Endings had been on a hiatus of sorts for a while and it might be getting cancelled from ABC...but news is that USA Network may pick it up if that happens. Not all is lost yet.

 

[xi0]

...I HAVE TO WATCH USA NOW?!

 

[goldb]

To be honest, it doesn't really make a difference to overseas viewers(I think) as long as it isn't cancelled. That show needs to be shown more love. US television execs really do piss me off, but I guess the people that watch those crappy shows too also have no appreciation for quality.

Also seems Community is reaching new lows with ratings...

 

[xi0]

I haven't watched Community this year at all. I'm just going to act like it's dead, since that's where it's headed.

I was kidding about the USA thing. I just don't watch any of the shows on it

I think I've seen 3 episodes? I can't remember....which is always a bad indication; I couldn't even tell you what the last episode was about without looking it up.

Not even Suits?
