Without spoiling anything major, can you say what the major premise of the season was? Do the two main leads still work together?

Only the first episode has aired so far. The premise of the season is the killer from last season suddenly pleads not guilty meaning that the town is going to be forced to endure a full trial. Looks pretty interesting.

Hey regy rusty the end of broadchurch season one left kind of a bitter taste in my mouth, does series two fix that

Depends what you didn't like about it. For me what I didn't like about the end of Season 1 was how the mystery isn't so much solved as stumbled onto. That's not going to be an issue for season 2 since it's no longer about a mystery but instead about what is going to be a long and painful trial and how the town reacts to it. The town and the victim's family struggling to understand the murder was the best part of season 1, so I think season 2 looks promising.

But really 1 episode is too soon to judge so we'll have to see where it goes.

You must've missed when they introduced the mystery surrounding Tennant's previous botched case (involving Shaun Dooley's character) with the flashbacks and burglary at his home and such.

I didn't miss it I just figured the trial will be the main focus.

Flash is good and is way better than Arrow if you tried watching that and didn't like it. I still watch Arrow though because stockholm syndrome I guess.

However both shows are ridiculously frustrating with the whole "This single character can NEVER KNOW THE TRUTH about my secret identity!!!" thing.

It's leagues better than Arrow in every way. That's the only part of your question I can answer.

I need a show to be recommended to me.

My wife and I are currently watching parenthood and the west wing on Netflix. I prefer the latter, she the former but other shows we have had in common are Oz, Lost, Being Human and the Walking dead. We both tried and hated The Shield and SoA. she won't watch superhero shows and I won't do procedural cop shows.

Though obviously POI is better, but there is in fact room for me to like multiple television shows. I also don't really care too much about whether shows I like are better than shows other people like.

Who's been keeping up with Elementary? Have they started doing a will-they-won't-they thing between Sherlock and Joan? Somebody on Facebook was complaining about how making Watson female created all this sexual tension when there shouldn't be any (in relation to the ongoing Ghostbusters casting argument), and I remember hearing that that was never the plan. Still, a lot can change in two years, so I want to make sure nothing has before I drag myself into this unwinnable war.

The comic book shows are usually by far the worst. The Continuum thread has always been decent.

That's because Continuum was bad from the beginning so there was no way for it to get worse.

The whole thing is designed to take your personal bias and subvert it, for lack of a better term; if you think slapping a kid is totally off limits, it caters to that, if you think slapping a kid that is out of line is ok, it caters to that; it's worth seeing for that, because it's so loving cynical of a network to do something like this. I don't know where it ultimately goes, of course, but see the first episode for the sake of seeing what network tv has been reduced to doing to generate conversation. It's hilarious.

It was so much more bearable than I'd have thought, just from this exact kind of fascination of what the a piece of trash this is gonna be. I like the scenes where Hector stares contemplatively out the window as if musing about the disaster that is to come.

I've really been enjoying Better Call Saul and it's making me think about Breaking Bad - should I go back and watch season 4 episodes 2-12 and season 5 episodes 1-13?

Because I skipped those ones.

Please watch all of Breaking Bad

I like Breaking Bad because it's a story about a pathetic, incompetent, impotent man who destroys the lives of everyone he encounters and dies alone and considers it all to have been a success. That owns and is hilarious.

So 12 Monkeys sucks? I have the whole season on my DVR and just figured I'd let it finish and watch it all at once since its a weird one. I thought I had heard good reviews for it early on. But if it sucks there's other stuff to watch.

One of the people saying it was bad was Ravane so you should at least give it a chance

It's not the tone or even the fight scenes, its someone smashing there face into a metal spike and having the camera track it or a 30 second shot and sound of someone getting their head smashed in. Maybe I'm old but there is a time and a place for that kind of stuff.

The time and place is Netflix presents Marvel's Daredevil

I'm watching season 2 of Orphan Black, episode 2. SO far, kind of good. I am starting to get Hemlock Grove flashbacks though. A lot going on but nothing is moving forward.

Unfortunately this is basically the problem with all of season 2. I think that the mystery of what the hell was going on was the reason season 1 was so particularly compelling. Without that element, season 2 just kind of meanders around with a lot of factions doing factiony things that the viewer doesn't really care about.

I'm still hopeful season 3 can be better.
