onemanlan posted:Other notable recommendations: I do not mean this as snark at all, but is there a point where Transparent actually gets good? I had a few people recommend it now and I thought it was incredibly boring; I had the same issue with the first 3ish episodes of OitNB so if there's a point where I can skip ahead I'd like to give it another shot. If it's basically the same throughout as the beginning, I'll know it's just not for me.

Ugly In The Morning posted:I think the name went a long way towards killing that show. I never would have watched it if it wasnt heavily recommended. Its a shame, because it was a hilarious show. Bingo. When it came out I was like, "oh, cool, misogyny," and never gave it a shot while it was on air.

Opie_Yates posted:Recommending the Netflix original "Borgia". Good period piece about the 15th century Borgia family in Italy and all the evil and corruption they were in to. A lot of violence, a lot of sex and hot naked people. I thought the costuming and scenery were fantastic. The dialogue does seem a bit forced at times and everyone in Italy having an English accent (except the pope, he has an American accent for some reason) can ruin the immersion a bit I suppose. Otherwise, a good attention holder and worth a watch. The Showtime one isn't bad but the Netflix one (Nexflix picked up the final season after the original European production company canned it) is way, way better.

Inzombiac posted:Thanks to this thread I'm starting Spartacus. Interesting to see some of the cast from Arrow walking around all naked-like. Yes, and no. The CGI blood stays but the show hits a good stride like 5-6 episodes in.

1redflag posted:I was freaked out by Jurassic Park when I was that age, so you are looking at some pretty extensive therapy bills if you do it. Totally worth it though. What's it like to be a total wuss baby? I sat in the front row by myself (my parents were a few rows back, duh) at age 5 to watch Jurassic Park and fuckin' loved it.

The Colombian version of Breaking Bad, Metastasis, is up on Netflix. It's pretty okay, though I don't think anyone would have a real shot at standing up to Cranston, and it's interesting to see the things the change and tweak for cultural relativity.

Mostly Martha is on Netflix now. It had an American remake but the German original is vastly superior. It is sad and lovely.

The Man in the High Castle is really excellent. It has some changes from the novel but I think they work well in the page to screen translation.

wormil posted:I started watching The Lizzie Bordon Chronicles and unexpectedly my daughter is into it as well --- hmmm. Christina Ricci is perfectly cast and is eating it up. Cole Hauser plays a mercenary with an addiction and obsession, why does that sound familiar? <rhetorical> So far I've only watched the prequel, Lizzie Borden Took An Axe, and two episodes of The Chronicles, but I like it. I like that she kills 2 people per episode (so far anyway), definitely an overachiever. Cancelled unfortunately but it doesn't seem like a show that you could drag out season after season for the money CR must be demanding. It's a slow burn, much like watching Breaking Bad you have to wait for some of the pieces to fall into place before it really sucks you in.

Fumaofthelake posted:Any recommendations for good comedy albums through Amazon Prime? Like, comedy music or spoken word? What are some comedians you like? Mitch All Together and Strategic Grill Location are on Prime, but most people are already familiar with Mitch Hedberg. If you're not definitely check those out. (edit) I'm not sure what's on there but George Carlin is another one to add. Daniel Tosh's standup is pretty funny too, and if you like him Anthony Jeselnik is the same kind of "funny and also horrible" style. 13Pandora13 has a new favorite as of 22:43 on Feb 21, 2016 |

The doucumentarians literally edited the conversation between Massey and his mother to remove the part about him being molested by Steven because they found it "too inflammatory" i.e. didn't fit their victim narrative.

Clinton1011 posted: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. Gotham is worth a watch but I don't know if it's better or even "good" necessarily. 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.

Boywhiz88 posted:The Leftovers is one of the best shows on TV. First season is good, second season is GREAT. Veep is great, Silicon Valley is great. True Detective, the 2nd season gets mixed reactions. I liked it a lot but I think that's in part because it reminds me of 80s neo-noir, in the best way. I enjoy Last Week Tonight but IDK if you really need to go back in time, all of their main stories are on YouTube. I would say Rome, Veep, Silicon Valley, the first 2 seasons of True Blood, and the first season of True Detective are all very much worth a watch.
