Yep, Hannibal is pretty much the best show right now if you ask me
Other than that, The Americans is pretty good, it´s about a married couple in American in teh 80s that are actually Russian spies.
Peaky Blinders, British show, is really really good
Louie is always funny, though pretty specific humor i guess

Oh yeah I used to watch Hannibal, I should prolly catch up on the second season. Did the third one start already?
I will try to check one of those.

House of Cards and Better Call Saul (and Breaking Bad, if you haven't watch it) are good series. The only network series that I watch are Person of Interest and Hannibal, not sure if they are right up your alley though.

I must be one of the last persons on this forum or even in the whole world who hasn't watched Breaking Bad . I heard some good stuff about House of Cards but better call saul not really. Well guess I should start with Breaking bad then

Season 3 starts on June 4 iirc, enough time to catch up


Breaking Bad requires a bit of time since once you start it, you will want to finish it

Good I'll watch the rest of season 2 before the new one starts, plus Richard Armitage is joining the cast

Yeah I'll prolly leave it to last since I could end up watching it in one go. Thanks for the recommandations

I liked first season of Saul. It wasn't Breaking Bad, but it succeeded in being a great drama on its own.

Marvel's Daredevil is now on Netflix. The newest TV addition to Marvels cinematic universe (with apparently more smaller heros having their own Netflix show later, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, leading up to The Defenders crossover thing).

The whole series is on, but I had time just to check the first episode. It was pretty good, it gives us a great setup, interesting characters ja curious plot possibilities. I wasn't exactly super pumped up, but I really enjoyed it. A lot more than I ever did Agents of Shield or Miss Carter. Reminds me of the Arrow a lot for now, but with better acting and more style. But yeah, curious to see how it turns out.

I saw daredevil. It was good but not great. The character isn t really daredevil until the very last episode. It didn t feel like a superhero show most of the time. Wilson fisk steal the show each time he appears. Karen and foggy are good sidekicks. But i found the show very slow. The fights are especially long. Netflix Daredevil is by far the weakest superhero in a tv show. He literally needs 5 to 10 punches to knock out a single guy before going to the next one

I finished it too. I really liked it. True that it is slower than MCU usually is and Daredevil is really a street brawler more than an actual superhuman, but those are reasons why I really liked it. It tooks it's time to build the characters and I really felt that street-level thug figthing. The exhaustion, the pain, the fact that seriously fighting for even a minute is really hard stuff. And towards the las episodes, I felt like he evolded, got better, more something that could eventually be at Hawkeye or Black Widow level. Not yet, not that close either, but definetly getting there. The Frank Miller vibe was strong in the show.

And yeah, D'Onofrios take on Wilson Fisk (Kingpin) what really makes the show. He is a scene stealer. And the character is fascinating. Rarely we get a villain that is written with so much thought and passion. A villain that actually grows on screen during the show as much as the main cast does. The season is an origin story to both, Daredevil and Kingpin.

Also, still loving the way Marvel handels easter-eggs and tie ins. One character surely appearing in Luke Cage and/or Jessica Jones, another one as link to Iron Fist and even a possible tie in to Agent of Shield as

Spoiler

Claire Temple is a love interest to Luke Cage, Madame Gao's heroin has Steel Serpent symbol (Iron Fist villain) and she mentioned being from "farther than China", most likely K'un L'un. And I think the Black Sky the yakuza/ The Hand were dealing with could been an Inhuman, concept that I hear is something explored in Agents of Shield currently

Special mention to Foggy Nelson. I already read mixed opinions on the character online, but I find him funny and really likeable.

 

[danzouismadara]

rumor that breaking bad is coming back!

 

[Holt]

Eh? Seemed to be have been completed imo. I'm not sure there's any more to expect.

 

[SharkBait]

Ugh I watch Jeopardy and was tweeting about it and there is an account where the person spoils the winner, I was so mad tonight.

 

[danzouismadara]

I watched Daredevil season 1, and I have to say it was okay, but definitely not something special. It's watchable, if you have patience.

 

[Notice me Escanor senpai]

So I finally caught up on Hannibal. Not sure if I'll be watching Season 3 since I found myself getting bored while watching most of the second season.

I'll be watching Breaking bad next.

 

[zelllogan]

Just saw the trailer of "legends of tomorrow", the next Arrow/Flash spin-off. And it looks like it will be fun.

Spoiler

Sarah Lance is BACK !!! Like many people, I don't really care for Lauren but I liked her sister and it look like Lazarus pit will be used once again. I just fear the two "prison break brothers". They are overacting a lot in the flash. Last appearance from Captain cold was a little bit better though

This is the first attempt to answer Marvel and the avengers and it's promising.

So I finally caught up on Hannibal. Not sure if I'll be watching Season 3 since I found myself getting bored while watching most of the second season.

Yeah, I ddin't like the second season either. It's boring. The interesting part was when Hannibal was completely unsuspected and was feeding his guests with human food.

I tried out all the superhero shows this year. Flash, Arrow, Daredevil, Agents of Shield, and I'm going to try Agent Carter out next.

Daredevil is my favorite by far. I think it's a really good show. It's doesn't have any of the tone that I expect with superheroes, which in Daredevils case is a blessing, and the acting is good to great. Vincent D'onofrio's kingpin is nothing short of fantastic.

Agents of Shield has gotten a lot better since I dropped it in the middle of season 1. It actually has some decent characters now and that helps a lot. The core focus of the show still isn't quite right but I can see a lot more potential now since it started embracing the Inhumans stuff. At it's best it's like the show Heroes from a government organizations perspective.

Flash is solid. Goofy, campy, kinda stupid sometimes, but consistently entertaining. Definitely the most classical superhero show on television since Smallville. Which is a doubleedged sword of sorts but I liked it.

Arrow is... trying too hard to be a Batman show for me. Arrow's Oliver Queen having absolutely no sense of humor is a real problem. That's not to say the show doesn't have great moments but getting from one to the next this season just wasn't fun at all. I mean, dude your dressing up in green and shooting arrows at bad guys. Lighten up.

So the trailer is barely much more than a teaser...

I hope we get more trailers, like with last season

 

[danzouismadara]

I watched the first 2 episodes of Wayward Pines, and I have to say that I'm somewhat disappointed, due to the intro to the story being an absolute mess.

 

[xi0]

So, True Detective is finally back. A pretty good opening episode, let's you know how the three main characters will tie into one another. My only concern is that I'm not sure there's a clear narrative foil among the three like we had with Rust and Marty. Everything is pretty fucking dour and all three main characters are all pretty damaged in similar ways. Maybe I'm assuming a lot there, but I'm not sure if the same sort of intriguing rapport will exist between this cast.

And maybe I'm being a bit severe when I call it a concern, as I couldn't think of a lighter way to describe it.

 

[danzouismadara]

I watched "SENSE8" Season 1---DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME.

It was just super slow, redundant, and corny.

I'd be extremely shocked if it got a second season...

 

[xi0]

Welp, looks like Hannibal was cancelled. I was considering catching up with it since I remember seeing an episode or two back during the first season and enjoying it....oh well

The Whispers and The Briefcase are my two favorite summer show currently. Whispers is fun seeing which kid is seriously wanting to win Drills game, while also seeing Milo V try to save the day (though maybe he is secretly being manipulated by Drill too?)

Briefcase is a good reality tv show to showcase the goodness of Americans. I love the stories and seeing how much each family will give, also checking the twitter tag at peoples comments after the show is an interesting case study in morality of Americans.

Celebrity Family Feud last night was fun and will be a good one for part of this summer.
