But then it starts to get very choppy. Like even from one episode to the next. I dont hate it, it's just not very good when you compare it to the others. Fair enough, I've only seen 2 so far. I still haven't seen Luke Cage, that's next. But overall, Marvel and Netflix have made 3 good shows in Daredevil, JJ, and for me, Iron Fist so far. I like a lot of Netflix shows. Santa Clarita diet is crazy, and I don't like Drew Barrymore at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't care about the Knick game being interrupted and missed very little of the Court TV live coverage of the trial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HessStation Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Season 2, and although I'm only halfway through Season 3 (so far) of Penny Dreadful is probably one of the best show watching experiences of my life. Season 1 is ok, it's good. But Season 2 and so far Season 3 is next-level amazing!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RutgersJetFan Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Finally all caught up on Better Call Saul. I don't think it's outrageous to argue that it's every bit as amazing as Breaking Bad was. And I am loving the fact that it's essentially a show about both Jimmy and Mike and their separate stories now. More Salamanca awesomeness, just brilliant. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They make Jay Mohr and Jennifer Aniston in Picture Perfect look like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in Mr & Mrs. Smith. Seriously, though, I am excited for it too despite the horrible Michael/Sarah pairing. I could watch Robert Knepper act all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just found out the other day he reprised T-Bag in an episode of the show "Breakout Kings" back in 2012 or something.

It's too bad that they couldn't find Larry Hankin to reprise Old Joe. Good enough, though. There are so many nuggets in this show. I'm often observant to my detriment, but in Season 1, Jesse Pinkman's name was scratched on the phone box. Haha. I think the only challenge with this show is that you can't turn back the clock on physical age on some of the characters we all know and love. We might see a Pinkman cameo, at least that's my feeling. Something fuzzy in the background. You know it's coming. Speaking of Jonathan Banks, I highly recommend 'Alexander: The Other Side of Dawn'. Me and the old man were bored one night, and felt like gaying it up around here. Trust me, that flick is so Queen Central it makes Troy Aikman look straight as an arrow. I'm somewhat of an aficionado on all of the 70s made for TV flicks. God love ya, Linda Blair; but I was all hold the phone on this one. Jonathan Banks, Haha, he's sitting in room of street male prostitutes, I never forget a face. I can just pin them. It doesn't even mean if I met you once 53 years ago - and I'm 53, It's a frightening ability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 The Americans is starting to become excruciating to me. I liked it in the beginning but it started slowing down for me the more Paige was involved last year. It's become interminable now with Paige essentially dominating the show. Every other scene is about Paige's problems as a teenager. It's not working for me. It sucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMan77 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Random question; does anyone else have trouble binge watching shows? I feel like it's all the rage to sit down and watch 10 episodes on a Saturday and blow through a series in a couple weeks... I just can't do it! I get bored with even the best shows after a couple episodes. It takes me months to finish a show. I'll watch maybe 2 episodes a week.

I binge watch with her but get bored after a while, too. For me, I guess it's that I prefer the format of feature films which have a beginning, middle and end to a story in one (about) two-hour setting. I don't like things so drawn out. Reminds me of the old days when folks watched "serials" like Buck Rogers over many weeks/months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm not an expert on these things, or a TV snob or anything like that, but shows become so formulaic to me after watching for a while. You can just see the same similar story arch in each episode and each season. Yes, they change things up and there's a surprise or two, but the overall bell curve is the same episode after episode after episode... And to your point, that get's old. It's like just getting the middle over and over instead of the beginning/middle/end. I DO like TV and all the great shows out there, and I will watch them... I just can't do more than one or two episodes of the same show at a time. It just gets predictable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
