Regardless of how anybody feels about Homeland everybody should be watching Masters of Sex.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:Really? AMC Theaters aired promos for it that I'd see every time I went to the movies for a while, but it didn't look like it would be terribly above average. Yeah it's really good so far. It's a Showtime show, however, so it will all turn to poo poo in the second season.

futurememory posted:How has any of the History Channel's original dramatic programming been? I'm trying to gauge how hamfisted this remake is going to be. Vikings and Hatfields & McCoys were great but I didn't watch The Bible. They are also doing a Bonnie & Clyde miniseries that looks interesting.

The first couple of episodes of Spartacus are pretty bad but it gets better really fast. Watch through the fourth episode (The Thing in the Pit) before giving up on it if the show doesn't grab you from the start.

Wandle Cax posted:The first 3 or 4 episodes only seem bad the first time you watch them, if you're not aware of the awesomeness to come. Watching them in retrospect after you've seen the whole series, they aren't bad at all since you know it builds to greatness. I don't know...I'd say that the first episode especially is just plain bad. Knowing that the show improves makes it easier to get through but it's still awful. I actually find it harder rewatching the first season knowing that Andy Whitfield isn't going to be around after it ends.

Cactus posted:So how far down the shitter has Homeland gone this season? I'm not seeing much talk surrounding it and that I have seen has been vaguely negative. Did the it's going to go like 24 predictions from the first season finally reach fruition? If you can make it past the big "shocking" gimmick reveal in the third or fourth episode the season isn't bad. I'm enjoying it more than I did last season.

And it's not exactly the best way for AMC to attract the talent they need to replace their hit programmes either. Didn't AMC also try and screw over Mad Men and Breaking Bad so they could pour more money into TWD or am I not remembering that right?

muscles like this? posted:Its kind of a balancing act since Mads is so restrained. I've always really loved Anthony Hopkins' performance in Silence of the Lambs but after watching Hannibal I think he should have played it more like Mads. The restraint makes Dr. Lecter so much more menacing.

So True Detective starts on Sunday and critics are heaping praise but from early reviews and the trailer I'm getting a Low Winter Sun vibe. I really hope I'm wrong.

DrVenkman posted:I don't think the lack of black characters in GIRLS is any more of a problem than it is in any other show. It's a criticism you could level at some of the best shows of all time, yet people act like GIRLS is the first to do it. You force a black character in there and it becomes a token thing. Which is exactly what happened when they brought Donald Glover in for the first two episodes of season two and then dropped him. It was a really clumsy way to address the criticisms.

Drunkboxer posted:It is and always has been a silly/stupid show and it kind of revels in it. If anything this season is more grounded than previous seasons, if only because we are mostly just dealing with witches as opposed to an insane grab bag of ghouls and ghosts. The current season is much better about telling a coherent story where last season was fun because of how nutso the whole thing was. I'm enjoying witches this year and don't think the show is nearly as bad as the AHS thread would have you believe.

zoux posted:I'm sure that, for that reason, some people will say, "why remake it then" but with Cosmos it makes more sense to update it (and periodically into the future as well) than other remakes. We've come so far in terms of our understanding of the universe since the original Cosmos and what they were trying to do with SFX in the original show can be accomplished so much better today, that I think it's appropriate to do so. I absolutely agree with you and didn't mean to imply that they shouldn't have bothered updating it (I've just never been a big fan of Tyson). The original series (and book) had a huge impact on me when I was a kid.

The funniest thing about the London Olympics was that if you only watched NBC coverage you'd think women's beach volleyball was the biggest sport in the world. I swear they got more coverage than anything else combined.
