What's with Amazon and Netflix describing British shows as original series? Just noticed Catastrophe on Amazon being billed as one of their shows.

I think it's something like they have exclusive US streaming rights. Why they don't say "Netflix Exclusive" instead is beyond my pay grade, though.

Even House of Cards is only Netflix exclusive in the US. It aired on TV in some other countries.

They do it in other countries too with American stuff that they get.

Netflix isn't unique in that. I couldn't count the number of Canadian shows they tout as Syfy original series.

The new season of Defiance just won me over entirely. Linda Hamilton saying, "Come with me if you want to live."

Yeah buddy, too bad this is the least season. Also know what starts this week? Under the Dome and Falling Skies. Still can't believe they renewed Dome, what a pile of poo poo.

Under the Dome is pretty bad. I'm trying to think of a redeeming quality and, uh... the scenes are adequately lit? I'll go with that. Pillowpants posted:What happened on The second season of Dome? Also, is anyone going to make a thread for the last ship? A few of them (the teens, naturally) found a way out of the Dome, that magically teleports them to Hicksburg, which happens to be near where Main Guy's father lives. The military tries to exploit this passage because why the hell not. Main Guy's father is somehow involved because why the hell not. That's all I remember, besides something about pink stars, purple horseshoes and green clovers. Manos del Sino fucked around with this message at 19:40 on Jun 21, 2015 |

I have binged all 4 currently out episodes of unREAL and I don't care if it's accurate to the way that the Bachelor/ette is filmed but I can totally believe it. I am really enjoying it and I never thought I'd say that about something on Lifetime.

Really digging Sense8. Its cinematic as all hell, and ambitious too. I'm only on the second episode though, and I feel like I've already gotten a full meal. Cons: there are some side-characters that feel as thin as cardboard, that only exist as fuel for contrived situations, but that's more than balanced by some of its transcendent moments. This show had me in maybe Nomi's second scene in the first ep. Jesus that destroyed me. But those side characters, oh boy.

precision posted:It's aggressively funny. Like, I dare anyone in a lovely mood to watch that show and not crack a smile. It loving owns. Real late reply on this one, but just wanted to add to this. I had some friends over the other day, never seen the show at all. An episode in (and btw we are playing music and just bullshitting, so it was only on the background), they were fans and kept on asking me to put on new episodes. Which, also by the way, I'm having trouble finding. Is Broad City not on Hulu+ anymore?

Suits and Graceland are back for new seasons this week. Maybe this season is finally the one where Aaron Tveit has to go undercover somewhere that requires him to sing.

The first episode of True Detective season 2 was kind of rough. I didn't think it was bad but it does have a problem of how unlike the first season it has a much broader focus, which made it seem almost unfocused at times since it had twice as many characters to deal with. Colin Farrell is the most interesting character so far just on the dint that he is given the most to do.

It was essentially a pilot, which are always a little rough and expository, but the world and characters it presents are interesting. Of course, I was never one of those people who thought the first season was phenomenal TV, just a very good HBO drama. Potential which, in my opinion, this season definitely possesses.

I don't think I'm gonna be able to decide if I like Brink until the second episode. The preview was heavily filled with the pilot's gags.
