Who's watching what on tv

Watched the pilot/premier of Man in the High Castle, an Amazon Prime original based on the Philip K Dick "what if the Axis had of won" sci-fi novel of the same name.

 

It's excellent and quickly shows-up Under The Dome to be the capsule of shite it really is.

 

Has been "picked up" and the rest of the season will start to show this autumn.

 

Just watched the first MITHC, excellent tv, look forward to the full series

Finished Humans today, brilliant series really and nicely set up for the next season!!

 

I really hope the Synths get to do some serious Human Bashing :D

Shows what Channel 4 can do when they try (and get help from AMC)

 

The actress who played Anita/Mia was superb. The way she was just a little bit off, not quite right, almost but not quite human. Couple of other performances were a bit ropey though. Niska was awful

 

Going to give the Swedish version a go. Sounds like there's quite a few differences

Parks & Recs is great but the first season is so tough to watch to the point where I just tell people to start from the second season.

 

aye i struggled through the first season just so i'd know the general gist of the plot. thank god it was only six episodes long. one of my favourite sitcoms though. so sad that it's over (and, not that it matters to us, but that the last season seemed to get dusted off two episodes at a time on American TV to seemingly get it over with. it deserved better)

some of my favourite ever comedy characters in Ron, Tom and Andy. great stuff. only binge watched it a couple of months back but could easily do it all over again now

Just finished Season 1 of Gomorrah. Bloody hell it's good.

Haven't seen the (highly praised/awarded) film but that's on my to-do list now.

 

 

My wife asked just the other day if there was a season 2. Was fantastic TV, what a horrible world they live in a

 

Haven't see the film either but on my list

Finished True Detective season 2 last night. Preferred it to season 1.

 

 

 

Come at me.

 

i feel like the ending failed but for the exact opposite reasons that the first seasons ending failed. i enjoyed parts of it but overall i was still left thinking 'what the fuck has just happened!?'. i still don't fully understand what went down throughout the series, or if i'm being honest, who killed Caspere. in due time i think i'll attempt to binge watch it all in an attempt to get a better understanding. the constant five minute long mumbling one on one conversations sure didn't help things!

I think I got most of it, but the ludicrously convoluted plot was very much in keeping with the genre it was working in. Series 1 was very much serial killer pulp with a dash of weird fiction, this one was hard boiled noir through to its core. Not even Chandler himself could explain the plot of The Big Sleep to Howard Hawks. 

 

I'd agree though that its many flaws were often overcompensations for the flaws of the first series. I personally thought this finale was much truer to the world the show had created and to the arcs of the characters.
