I started watching the first three episodes of Mr. Robot yesterday, gotta say I love it as well.

Oh, and it seems Netflix's new series Narcos got some pretty good reviews, so there's a chance that I'm going to watch it some day.

Finish Mr Robot Season 1-- I think the show is truly one of a kind.

Now, Im going to watch Narcos--which apparently is pretty good, so Ill keep you posted

I've been checking out the new season of Longmire over the last few days and I'm so glad Netflix picked it up. When it was on A&E I never really even knew it was there but, now that I know it exists, it's great.

The perfect modern day western to fill the void left by Justified.

The show NARCOS is a must see! It was amazing, and I totally hooked.

I've just heard about it from a friend the other day, so I'll be checking it out soon . How many episodes does it have?

11 episodes but it goes by quick, since it's a great show.

Meh, it was good but it could not decide whether it wanted to be a documentary or a drama, so we got something in-between. Escobar´s actor is underused, you were able to see in the first episode that he is very good but after that, he never got the scenes he deserved.

I get your point, but it's actually the reason qhy I like it so much, especially considering how all the shows nowadays follow the same tedious/expected pattern...and all copy each other.

I liked the actors in Narcos. I liked las prostitutas in every episode as well--it kept me interested I liked how its based on the true story--which blew my mind.

It felt very raw and action packed--which was perfect for me. Plus, it had appropriate comedy as well, in order to balance things out.


MAGICAL REALISM lol

Better Call Saul Season 1 wasn't that solid but in my opinion it's better than GoT Season 5.

It's also surprising that the Emmy favorite Mad Men didn't win.

 

[xi0]

Mad Men saw a ton of Emmy awards throughout it's run. Somewhat surprising that it didn't win, especially with this season of GoT being the worst in several ways (worst as an adaptation, lowest dip in ratings, worst as an actual television show). Mad Men isn't a Breaking Bad though, which was passed over often and was showered in it's final season for that reason. Also weird that Mad Men was basically competing against itself in the same category for some reason.

 

[goldb]

I'm glad though, that Jon Hamm could win this year, finally. I feel like he should've picked up at least one Emmy for best actor before this. Whether he was cheated out of it or someone more deserving won, I dunno. A part me feels that he's gotten this because it's the final season of Mad Men, but I'm still happy for him.

 

[xi0]

Regarding GoT's wins...whatever. I don't really think Dinklage's performance was anything noteworthy this year honestly. He's won in the past as well, and it was more deserved then when he had better material. Stephen Dillane outshone him this season, IMO.

 

[MiyamotoMusashi]

Well, generally, it seemed like a weak line-up this year, so GoT winning with its weakest season so far is not a bother to me. I can´t say much about Mad Men, i tried to get into it several times but it was not for me, so i never understood why it is such a praised series. Sure there is something, it´s simply not there for me.

Same for me, never really got into Mad Men. Concerning GoT, what can I say, I dislike these award shows. Just because a series won doesn't mean it's good quality, case in point with Season 5 of GoT, so whatever.

 

[xi0]

I'm assuming they pick a winner through majority vote, so I'm genuinely curious how close it was considering Mad Men was nominated twice...it makes no sense

So the new season of Gotham is pretty great so far.

 

[Schabrak]

So the new Heroes series is the worst series I have seen in a very long time. It's even worse than the forth season of the original, such a massive disappointment. Camera work, plot, action, characters, everything is soooooooooo horrible in this one. I really wish that they cancel the series after the first season.

And please let the little kid from The Strain die as soon as possible. That little fella deserves a day long bitch slapping for all the shit he's done throughout the seasons. Not even the TWalkingDead son has got on my nerves as much.
Those were some great shots during the end of the final season episode by the way.

I didn't think it was THAT bad. It's not great obviously but have you watched Agents of Shield, Arrow, or the Flash? It's a pretty low bar to clear.

The latin guy's story line has been pretty bad, no way to dodge that one. The awkward teleporting teenager has been better than I expected it to be. The guy with psycho wife is serviceable but the wife needs to get killed off ASAP. And I really like the two Japanese teenagers; though the video game world thing looked embarrassingly terrible. All in all I found it watchable.

Of the three new action shows I've checked out this season (Player, Heroes Reborn, and Blindspot) I actually found them all to be watchable. I think Blindspot is clearly the worst in that group but even that has Jamie Alexander with no clothes on a lot which I've found to be a fine substitute for a coherent plot.

SPOT ON!

I watched Heroes Reborn...those graphics that were in the Japanese game.....terrible. Acting was terrible... Pace was terrible...the entire thing was a mess.

Blindspot pilot...was okay, but I just don't see the theme not becoming repetitive and tedious--in terms of the tattoos being the core of the story.

I'm going to start watching Quantico--it looks better--and hopefully it is.
