TV The Television Show Thread

I don't know, Mitch seemed like a scumbag in the first place, and the Governor obviously snapped, hence him going all homicidal after seeing the little girl had died. They just went apeshit.

Anyone still watch Animal Planet? I need a good show that offers a lot of interesting information on mammals or reptiles.

Anyone still watch Animal Planet? I need a good show that offers a lot of interesting information on mammals or reptiles.

Are you looking for documentaries? I know a couple of BBC ones. All of them brilliant.

Life of Mammals (10 50min epsiodes)

Life in Cold Blood (5 50min episodes)

And, episodes 2 and 3 of Life.

Sherlock Mini-Episode:

Who watches Arrow here? What a amazing show, keeps getting better and better. Way better than Agents of Shield. AoS is bland atm. Can't wait when Arrow and The Walking Dead come back after their epic finales.

Haaaaaaa sherlock, when england is doing tv series which are not about (very cheap) scifi, they are often extremely good.

Who watches Arrow here? What a amazing show, keeps getting better and better. Way better than Agents of Shield. AoS is bland atm. Can't wait when Arrow and The Walking Dead come back after their epic finales.

There is still a "B serie" feeling to it. There are incoherences in the characters (small example: Deadshot not killing the bodyguard & justifying it by "I was not paid to kill you" ... come on, the guy is an assassin & spent the last 10 minutes killing people he was not paid to kill. It was just silly). Beginning of season 2 was poor. It got better after 2-3 episodes.

Still It is a very good B serie, very entertaining & I expect a lot from the flash spinoff.
It's true that AoS is disappointing with bad characters as leads. Aside coulson, the boyscout & the hacker are annoying. They are beautiful young actors but that's about it (and I do find Chloe Bennet very pretty but after 2 episodes, you want a little more than the good looking girl from this show ...). It's also the reason why last episodes were a little bit more about fitz-simmons (who have a good dynamic) & may (who at least give the feeling of being a real SHIELD agent). And it was better. Oh and Ally McBeal "John Cage" as an asgardian was hilarious.

Had no idea that Fleming was an intelligence officer himself

Yep, something that I had forgotten myself about him before seeing that trailer earlier today.

Here's where I saw it. DigitalSpy have listed 14 shows to expect/ be excited for for 2014 and Fleming is on that list. BBC is also bringing a remake of the Musketeers, which looks as exciting as some previous adaptations of the series but I just have that feeling it'll be a letdown.

There are quite a few HBO series on there too.

Most of them look good, maybe except Mob City, saw that one already, seemed a bit flat.
At least from the summaries, seems like 2014 will be a good year for TV series.

 

[goldb]

Just read that it's aired in US already. The cast list looks good and story too; it's the sort of mob series I think I'd like, plus 6 episodes isn't that much.
If there's anything on that list that won't have too many episodes, then I'll watch. Probably some of the BBC stuff or HBO/Sky Antlatic collabos.

By the way, has anyone been watching Orphan Black? I heard really good things about it but have not seen it myself.

 

[Imperium]

I was like meh about the list until I got to "Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell". If it is as fantastic as the book..well...

By the way, has anyone been watching Orphan Black? I heard really good things about it but have not seen it myself.

Same here, I heard similar things. I had a chance to get into it when it was airing over here but I missed the first episode and didnt have the motivation to search for it. I think I will give it a go one of these days.

I have seen it ... entirely in two days. It's good. The main actress is making it work. SHe should have received an emmy for her performance but was snobbed because it's a canadian production.

Personally, I needed only 5-10 minutes to be in the story. The first scene with the train is already good enough to make you want more.

But now that we are talking about canadian production, the one to watch first is continuum.

So I watched Mob City a day or so ago, and while I found it enjoyable, I do agree that it was a bit flat and could've been a lot better than it was. Some good perfomances, one of my favourites would be Bugsy Siegel played by Edward Burns and Robert Knepper playing Sid Rothman. The latter has a knack for playing bad guys and his profile fits so well with his character.

I wonder if there is going to be a second season to follow up on Joe Teague and the rise of Mickey Cohen....

Also, Sherlock airs tonight in UK.

 

[MiyamotoMusashi]

Don´t wanna say much regarding it, to avoid hints and spoilers, but go watch Orphan Black, really

 

[goldb]

Bumped the thread for Sherlock, so all discussions relating to the show is to go there.

 

[Koen]

Been a slacker when it comes to TV Series, about Arrow: I agree with Zellogan.

A show I am looking forward to is Helix.

 

[zelllogan]

Community season 5 started. And it's good. I really liked it. It's really the most imaginative tv serie on air.
Abed going nuts about "nicolas cage", the replacement of chevy chase, The dean, ... yeps, community is back.
