8 episodes, but yeah, it looks like it's all being aired over 4 weeks. Seems like an odd choice.

It's a half-hour comedy.

New Amazon pilots were announced:

The Man in the High Castle sounds drat interesting.

Part of me likes seeing the pilots, but it results in kind of an absurd wait between the pilot being released and the actual premiere. I saw the Bosch pilot almost a year ago and it's still not clear when it's coming out. They'd be better off just having more confidence in their shows.


Totally agree on Man in the High Castle though.

Did anyone else watch Man Seeking Woman?

It's an interesting concept I guess and I like Baruchel, but it's not really funny. At all.

edit: Oops, missed the conversation on the last page.

So someone on youtube uploaded all of last night's 19-2 s2 premiere. If you want to be scared as gently caress about guns and stuff, well here ya go.

The long tracking shot starts at 7:40.

That's an impressive scene.

The show is a lot like Southland for anyone who hasn't seen it. Worth a watch.

Bear is highly overrated imo.

I think you'll find you're wrong.

Considering the lack of regular female characters, they probably felt they had to do something.

It's probably because of Sundance. I didn't know about the very existence of Rectify until it went up on Netflix.

I think it originally aired in the UK, guess Sundance bought the US rights to it. I didn't finish it, but I liked the episodes I saw.

Yeah but you think someone would have vetted it or something, especially since it's not totally clear they even had the rights to make it.

That new Netflix "Between" show is terrible, I couldn't make it past five minutes of it

Yeah, I had been hoping for something like Jeremiah based on the description of all adults dying, but it feels a lot like Under the Dome, and just as lovely.

I saw the first episode of Mr Robot. It wasn't bad, although with Christian Slater in it, I can't see it lasting more than half a season, even on USA.

Standalone Showtime Is Coming In July For $11


Hey, now people watch Dexter...wait no. Weed...wait no. And all for more than it costs in a cable package!

Who is this for, again? Other than I guess Masters of Sex, what is worth watching on Showtime right now?

There are very few channels that can pull this off. Monthly subscriptions are nice, but very few people are willing to subscribe to Netflix, Spotify, HBO, Showtime, etc. They'll pick a few, and I doubt Showtime is at the top of most people's list.

Anyone watching Humans? I started watching the first episode and it reminded me of Black Mirror (which I love), but I couldn't get into it.

I liked Complications. It somehow took me until the last 5 minutes of the first episode to realize his wife was the thief from Leverage, though.

What's with Amazon and Netflix describing British shows as original series? Just noticed Catastrophe on Amazon being billed as one of their shows.

In TV lingo, "original" has long meant "owns first local distribution rights".

Yeah, I guess. It's a bit confusing given that they also use original to refer to shows they actually created.

I'm catching up on UnReal and had to stop 12 minutes into the 5th episode.

I have to make a thread. This show is loving twisted to nigh Sex House levels. I mean, Sex House was pretty loving twisted, but a producer switching out the PTSD meds of an abuse survivor in order to create drama on the reality show-within-the-show can't be nothing, regardless of what you compare it to.

Jesus.

Next episode is worse.

edit: way loving worse

You mean stand-up?

Yeah some of them are good. Depends if you like the comedian.
