Hemlock Grove is so good you can feel it in your balls.

Hemlock Grove's first season was flat-out awful, but I thought it really found its rhythm in the second season. It's still not great but the second season was at least interesting, and the execution was an order of magnitude better. I'm enjoying Sense8 so far, but I agree about the opening. Doesn't help that it's literally 2 minutes long.

What's with netflix and long rear end bad openings? It's like they know people are going to skip them so they don't bother.

Hughmoris posted:How is Hemlock Grove? Worth watching? I just finished a werewolf book and am looking to see what's out there as far as TV and movies go. Teen Wolf is a great werewolf show. You could also try The Vampire Diaries, Being Human and Penny Dreadful. Or Buffy/Angel, if you don't mind going a bit further back in time.

Grace and Frankie is going to win the Emmy for best opening credits. Plus a whole bunch of other Emmys since it is Emmy voter catnip, but the opening credits one will be the only one that is deserved since it is an utterly mediocre show in every other regard. less laughter fucked around with this message at 07:19 on Jun 7, 2015 |

Since we're talking about Netflix shows, has anyone watched First episode was great television, it checked off all the boxes. Juno, rich bitch teenager, drug mule, super hacker who is also a super genius, dead parents. It has everything.

"Arrest this teenager he's got a gun! *later that day*... Soo....long story short, you're hosed have a good day, Here's your gun back Mr. Teenager" Stupid rear end show, i'm still watching it because it's the slow season.

Basically if you wanna know how long any Sense8 episode actually is take just over five minutes off the running time. The end credits are like 3:12. But yes it's very easy to skip the opening credits when you have something that fast-forwards in ten-second increments. Halfway through and Sense8's still wicked. I should add a disclaimer though that the dialogue is very bad. It's just interesting/fun/weird enough to make up for it. Either episode 5 or 6 had one hell of a sex scene.

Hughmoris posted:Yep, I enjoyed Being Human! Let's put it this way, whenever 99.9% of people agree something is poo poo, then it is pretty much poo poo. Usually, even for bad shows, there is at least one person who is brave enough to stand up and say, "Hey come on guys, it wasn't as bad as everybody says." Or "I know it's trash, but it's a guilty pleasure." Nobody says that about Hemlock Grove. Hemlock Grove is as bad as everybody says. It's not even so bad it's good, it's just so bad it that it is horribly boring. I would rather watch the Saudi Arabian women's golf final than watch Hemlock Grove again. thrakkorzog fucked around with this message at 15:08 on Jun 7, 2015 |

Hannibal is pretty insane. They could air this on HBO and wouldn't have to change a single thing. It fits right in and it's super gross and beautiful. I've always wanted to see Eddie Izzard eat his own roasted legs.

GreenNight posted:Alright, is this BBC season 1 or Cinemax season 1? If BBC, work your way through it, it's good, but not nearly as action packed as the when it moved to Cinemax. It's off Cinemax's on demand so I have to assume it's the american version. e: yeah it just said so in the intro IRQ fucked around with this message at 16:54 on Jun 7, 2015 |

You're all talking about season 2 right? Season 1 is BBC, and season 2 is technically Cinemax season 1?

That's just silly. I liked S2 of Hemlock Grove well enough. In other news, just finished Person of Interest Season 4. Considering I sometimes struggled to get through Season 1, that show has rocketed up to being one of my favourites. I like that they're completely unafraid to end things on a dour note.

less laughter posted:Teen Wolf is a great werewolf show. Is Teen Wolf like, actually good, or is it just relatively good? My interest has been piqued ever since I found out that Johnny Cage from the Mortal Kombat movie plays a major supporting character, but man does that show not look like my loving bag at all.

You know, Adventure Time sure gets some weird guest stars. Like Andy Daly, Paul Scheer and Tig Notaro (just from the season finale.)
