Amazon Prime also has a ton of HBO stuff that you don't need the add-on for, just not recent seasons (they have like the first few seasons of Veep and so forth)

My wife and I tried to watch the new season of Sense8 and the first episode (technically S2E2) really sucked. We kinda liked the premise of the first season and watched through it all, but holy hell that was a rough hour of tv watching... Has anyone watched the whole second season yet? Does it get better?

Beyond the Gates was okay. I'd never heard of it before and was expecting garbage, and was pleasantly surprised by it.

Yes, it gets a lot better. The pacing smooths out a lot, and you get to see tons of depressed Lito which is always fantastic. Also https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3819454

As a big fan of Neil Gaiman, I'm really interested in seeing American Gods, especially as the first couple episodes seem to have good reviews. That being said, is it worth getting Prime just for American Gods? I already have Netflix, and have a few shows I'm already watching.

Ash vs. The Evil Dead is one of the best shows thats still running. American Gods on its own is p. good, though not amazing. Its an interesting show with a lot of promise, I've only seen two episodes and I bet it will get better from there.

Cheap bourbon and Nightmare on Elm Street followed by Wes Craven's New Nightmare is a great use of, like... several dollars. Especially to commemorate Craven's passing, because I somehow didn't realize he had died even though I love the guy I watched Nightmare when I was a kid, but I appreciated none of the good stuff. I watched New Nightmare as a kid too, but I appreciated none of the callbacks or real-life castings. Now, as an adult who has actually taken a ton of horror classes (including a class specifically on Craven), I think New Nightmare is one of the most metatextual films I've ever seen (assuming you don't include humor because parodies necessarily ridicule the previous year's popular stuff by default). Craven casting Craven as Craven is pretty unbeatable. Anyway, if you have Netflix, watch NOES followed by Wes Craven's New Nightmare. Or, alternatively, jump in a lake, ya mug

I like to imagine that after the movie was over he just went to a bar somewhere and started acting out his part in Nightmare on Elm Street 3.

I really can't recommend Agents of SHIELD enough. It's really grim in the first few episodes, but it's an absolute treat from the back half of season 1 onwards, and it really keeps up the pace with exciting plotlines. Just about all the characters are interesting as well with good arcs, even the ones that were lame in the beginning.

It's definitely not for everyone though, it's corny as poo poo a lot of the time and it's far from the pinnacle of writing, but it's incredibly fun and stays consistently fun through season 2, and what I've watched of season 3 so far.

Agents of Shield suffers from the same thing almost all network shows do, it has interesting story arcs that just can't be sustained over 24 or even 12 episodes, so you end up with tons of filler and periods of time where you feel like over a month has gone by and there's been no actual plot movement. Every season has those issues at one point or another, so it never has been able to maintain consistency. But when its good, its good.

I probably don't notice as much since I'm binging, but that's a pretty valid complaint. You get a fair amount of monster of the week episodes.

That said, the last 30 seconds of season 1 turned me off from watching season 2 (which, without that last thirty seconds would have been a redundancy anyway). In my mind it will always be an amazing single season, one-and-done show.

Hell yes this show can become great. If you want go safe no to kick money in the toilet wait. I watched the first 2 episodes and I realy love it. PM me to get a spoil. Did you read the book? Oh wait better question is did you watched pushing daysi and Hannibal specialy Hannibal. If you liked Hannibal American Gods is a show for you. It's a show for adults no kiddy DC universe crap (sorry supergirl you know i watch you). In eu we can watch it with amazon prime

I agree with the sentiment that Season 1 of Bloodline was fantastic, and that the last scene twist, and continuing the show afterward is unnecessary. That being said, I did end up begrudgingly watching the second season (I got the hots for Linda Cardellini okay??) and ended up enjoying it as well, and I'll be watching season three when it drops.

After the first Episode I was so excited to se the rest but every single episode after the first was horrible bad. Just a waiting and collecting of helpful members and things. Than in the last Episode It becomes great again and in the middle of action the show is gone to the season final. wtf 14 Episodes wasted time

I tapped out after the first three episodes, and then gave it another chance when half the Internet was screaming that because of the Winter Soldier tie-in, the show had gotten genuinely good. Those people are god damned liars.

But Agent Carter was realy good. Sad that the show is canceld. For me is agents of shild much more watchebal as the most DC shows specialy Legends of Tomorrow is horrible bad. Only Flash and the first 3 Seasons of Arrow are nice to wach. Supergirl is only nice to se if you like the work of the actress and the episodes with flash are realy good. If you grow up with the comics It's horror what they did with the adabtion. Marvel did a much better job. Alone that all in the same universe plays, is worth gold.

Legends of Tomorrow S1 is brought down by a dull overarching story, but for season 2 they embraced being a show about a bunch of idiots getting crazy through history, focusing on the charms of its cast.

I'll disagree with the Bloodline assessments so far. I love the casting of the family and thought season 2 was great and fun, looking forward to season 3 (which will be the end). Uniformly great acting by the inner circle. Has that strong Breaking Bad feeling in terms of good people doing bad stuff for the "right" reasons. And the way that subsequently unravels. I also love the Florida setting. I also love Fargo, the Leftovers and Better Call Saul, so maybe I just like shows about families falling apart. I guess it's a slow burn? But it's only 13 episodes a season and is very bingeable.
