It's weird how much actual cop stuff is in the first season of X-files.

It had an American adaptation on MTV a few years ago.

I wasn't trying to be legitimately lovely, I just thought it was funny because Skins was like, kind of a big deal. And you should absolutely watch seasons 1 and 2 for sure, after that... eh... 3 and 4 are not bad, I think 5 onward are dumpster fires.

Skins was some great TV, but the third cast change in the last seasons was pretty bad and the show had gone on too long by then. The first four seasons are great and as mentioned a lot of actors made it pretty big after their debuts.drunkill posted:The Americans is back in 1 week for the second last season of the show.

The first two seasons of Skins are great, the third season is half-ace, half-dreadful and from then on it goes completely off the rails. I watched season 4 right up until the penultimate cliffhanger where Freddie confronts Effy's therapist because he has been hypnotising her so he can kidnap her and gets murdered with a baseball bat

I really like how hard and fast season 2 of X-files establishes Skinner's character. In season 1 the people supervising X-files were all shady as gently caress and strongly implied to be part of some conspiracy. But Skinner is being established as this guy who only cares about doing things by the book and getting results, and the only thing he hates more than Mulder going off-reservation is people trying to play games with his office. He's a really good component of the show. Also the show's starting to figure out it should lean more into the horror elements and less into the procedural elements. Wheat Loaf posted:Sure, you watch the first season of Millennium and it could easily be Criminal Minds. Millenium is on the watch list once I get to the lovely part of X-files. I don't remember that show being good that often, but it was so loving weird.

Skinner is my favorite X-Files character after Mulder. I was so hyped for him to be back in season 9.

Lurdiak posted:Millenium is on the watch list once I get to the lovely part of X-files. I don't remember that show being good that often, but it was so loving weird. Season one of Millennium is basically this Criminal Minds type edgy crime procedural where the main focus is on how hosed up the bad guys are each week, with some hinted supernatural undertones. It's the one Chris Carter was most involved with. Season two of Millennium is where Glen Morgan and James Wong took over and it went full-bore Christian eschatological story arc (which I'm in the position right now where I acknowledge that it was technically much better than season one - it has the two best single episodes of the series - but didn't enjoy the overarching plot so much because I was bored to death with Christian eschatological plots when I watched it). Season three was the post-script which continued the series after it reached largely a natural conclusion at the end of season two. It was okay but nothing special.

Post-script to my previous post: the most annoying thing about Millennium is that my DVD sets for seasons one and two came in slip-cases but the season three one didn't.

bull3964 posted:I really like Legion, I just don't feel there's enough substance there to make that call yet. IDK I'm still thinking about the images and scenes from the first 3 eps (still haven't seen the latest one). It's dream like, hypnotic, nonsensical, and really fascinating. This is stuff to ruminate and think about, not something that needs 13 eps in a row to get through a fast plot or whatever.

John Douglas, who inspired Jack Crawford (Scott Glenn in Silence of the Lambs, Lawrence Fishburne in Hannibal, and Dennis Farina in Manhunter) I'm excited for this, mainly because the trailer makes it look a lot like a no-artsy Hannibal. Looking forward to Jonathan Groff's best Hugh Dancy impression.

IRQ posted:I use Netflix exactly how they want me to: "gently caress it it's 10 bucks whatever." I do that with Hulu too. I actually use Hulu almost exclusively now, only keeping around Netflix this month b/c of Iron Fist coming out soon. I'm finding that I barely use Netflix at all. Edit; so add 12 from there, 8 from Netflix, and 85 for cable/internet that includes HBO, Starz, Cinemax, etc. It used to be even more expensive before I switched from my old TWC account to Spectrum.

I'm pretty sure it's been pretty debunked by now? Like most serial killers are caught by routine police officers or advances in DNA technology, like the Green Valley Killer. Profiling seems to just be hype.

Yeah, but I'm okay with it. Hyping methods not used by law enforcement makes for good drama without training people to be better at getting away with crime. True crime writing about fingerprint forensics lead directly lead to a huge increase in criminals wearing gloves. Fiction about profiling being magic, and poo poo like CSI paints a completely alien from reality picture of how law enforcement catches criminals. Watching Hannibal and CSI isn't going to help you get away with crime. Not even, like, a little bit.

Then there was Dennis Rader, who got himself caught about 15 years by writing a letter to the FBI asking if they would be able to trace his taunting messages if he put them on a floppy disk and posted them in to the police and believed them when they said, "No, of course not, feel free to do that."
