The Detectorists is charming and hilarious. Everyone please watch it and maybe Netflix will hurry and get S2.

Netflix suggested that I watch 'How to get away with murder' and despite the show's high ratings I really don't like it. I just can't watch this kind of older series formula anymore with the addition of every cast member going 'behold how masterful I am, watch as I intellectually slam dunk all of you right now'. Not for me, I dropped it after the first episode.

That new Pee Wee movie was weird and not that good. Had a few good bits, but meh. Good for Paul Reubens, though. You could tell he was having a blast.

Season 2 of Daredevil just went up at 3am EST today. Made it through 3 episodes before work, and so far, it's awesome!

New characters are not just jammed in but slowly introduced and not immediately giving Daredevil their complete backstory. There's also a scene that is as good or better than the hallway fight from first season.

It's a much better season of television so far, and Foggy isn't totally insufferable now. That said, it's not completely engaging and lacks a hook like Kingpin. But I really liked Jessica Jones, and I know there are a lot of people who preferred season 1 of DD to that.

I really enjoyed both season 1 of DD and JJ and am currently marathoning season 2 all day. I never really felt the first season had pacing issues but I may just be in the minority. Season 2 has been fantastic thus far IMO.

I didn't have any problems with the pacing in season 1 either, but I'm easy to please. I'm only 4 eps into season 2 but it's really good so far; it actually feels like a natural progression from where they were in season 1 instead of just more of the same with some new characters thrown in. I also like that Punisher is being depicted as an unhinged lunatic instead of a cool badass antihero.

wormil posted:Awesome like last season or they fixed the pacing issues awesome?  ) but it sounds as though they will be used to lead into more MCU show branch-offs. I think my personal least-favorite bits were the flashbacks which show Matt and Elektra's history, because, well, she's never been much more than a boring ninja in a silly outfit to me personally.The casting for Frank Castle is bar-none the best part of the second season imho, and while a bunch of goons hated on Karen Page and "her terrible writing" I enjoyed seeing her get some screen time. The excuse for Castle's ridiculous combat aptitude is pretty reasonable (he got shot in the head which leaves him in permanent fight-or-flight state, giving him the ability to be running on pure adrenaline basically at all times - although it's not as cool as Death just having a boner for him.) An extremely satisfying season, most of the failings of the show were more of the failings of the source material from what I recall of reading DD books, such as the back and forth fighting between Foggy and Matt, which has been going on ever since DD began and will probably never ever end, despite how infantile it often seems. They also bring Fisk back in and show one of my personal favorite, penultimate Punisher scenes ( not much of a spoiler if you're familiar with anything about Punisher the prison fight.) coyo7e has a new favorite as of 05:03 on Mar 23, 2016 |

It might just be because I just finished watching the arrow and the flash (both on netflix) but the 2nd season of DD is far better then those shows and in my opinion one of the best super heroes shows I have ever seen. I think I could say one of the best shows in general that I have ever watched. Besides Jessica Jones are there other super hero shows that people feel are better then DD s2? I'm going to need my fix once I'm done binging through this season.

The first half of S1 AOS is mediocre, second half is much improved; but it takes off like a roller coaster after that.

It has some really, really great episodes but I just can't pin down how I feel about it as a whole. I didn't like it as much as Flash, but liked it more than Arrow. The tone and approach is completely different.

All you have to remember about AOS, is that ...Ward... is always evil and is the best TV villain because he sees himself as the good guy; and May is always irrelevant. Everything else is just side story. Seriously, imagine the series that way and you never get lost. I like that they are not afraid of making big plot moves and the pace is fast for TV. My wife misses an episode here and there and I have to spend 5 minutes explaining things. The only show I watch with a faster pace is The Last Ship (which does more in one episode than some series accomplish in a season). 13Pandora13 posted:Gotham is worth a watch but I don't know if it's better or even "good" necessarily.

The tone and approach is completely different. The only CW series I like at all is izombie but S2 is boring me. My daughter enjoys it and we watch it together otherwise I would have quit. (although I never get tired of Major's constant torment) Gotham never interested me, at all. It looks well made but over-dramatic, just not my thing.

I'd say the pacing issues were fixed but the final few episodes felt like a slog to me, mainly because they were pretty fight-heavy putting DD against the same boring opponents. The events of those episodes kind of blended together for me eventually.

I've been watching this Roseanne ""Collection"". It's kind of super annoying. It's reminded me that it was actually a really funny show. But there are currently 50 episodes on it, and they're all in random order!? It's seriously as if you ordered the episodes right, and then hit a randomizer. In these episodes, Rosanne and Jackie are both pregnant, and episodes just keep jumping from "I'm sick of being pregnant" to, "I just got pregnant!" to "This new baby is hard" to "Hey, I'm thinking of getting pregnant." If I hadn't watched the poo poo out of the show as a kid, I'd have know clue what's happening.

No, crass blue collar comedies from that era are garbage. Why would you expect it to hold up? Try Married, With Children next up and let us know how great it used to be when you were 20-30 years younger.
