Loki_XLII posted:So what exactly is the deal with Hola? I got it to keep up with Better Call Saul even though I have lovely cable that doesn't even give me AMC, and I see that Netflix is going to crack down on it. Any idea what this means? Is there any danger in losing my Netflix account if I keep using it? As far as I've heard, they're only cracking down on non-US users watching stuff on US Netflix.

NESguerilla posted:Can you try to sell me on this? I keep hearing it's good but the concept sounds really bad and I can't bring myself to watch it. Opening storyline is a mom and son covering up a murder together. It's often darkly funny and Vera Farmiga is great.

I'll second that. Peep Show is fuckin' funny. Justed started watching Misfits and, heh, I wonder how many Game of Thrones people I'm gonna see. Already Ramsey, Pyp and Mama Stark. Lycus fucked around with this message at 07:24 on Mar 3, 2015 |

I didn't like it at all, but I'm personally not a fan of the "alternate universes" premise, so the characters and such have to be really great in order for me to get into it.

gmq posted:I think the main problem with this season is that Frank didn't have a chance to manipulate and cajole people into doing his bidding. Without that the series loses a lot of its charm. Yeah, the plot just didn't go anywhere fun and crazy this season like previous seasons did. So though I much enjoyed previous seasons, I thought Season 3 was boring.

red19fire posted:I thought it had potential for Frank to meet his match in the Russian president, and Congress to collectively realize they'd been played hard, but none of that really went anywhere, at least until I gave up around episode 5. Stamper is great as always, but I just couldn't weather the rest of the show. Not-Putin was the best part of the season, but that storyline ended with such a whimper.

david_a posted:Yeah, good stuff. Finished ep 3, Teddy is becoming really unsympathetic and I sorta hope Tawney gets a divorce because their relationship seems so incredibly awkward. I kinda wish I re-watched S1 because I can't remember the specifics of what happened between Tawney and Daniel. I don't remember anything too damning but she's acting like it was a big deal. Or maybe it was, comparatively, because of how stilted her relationship is with Teddy. It was kinda weirdin' me out how isolated Tawney was during Season 2. Like how nearly all of her scenes were with Teddy. Though I'm sure that was the point. She didn't really do anything in Season 1, she just kinda developed feelings for Daniel and that's a big deal for someone as conservative as Tawney.

BJPaskoff posted:It was a pilot for a show that never took off. I had a feeling about that towards the end when it was clear none of the main characters was going to die. Serial sci-fi TV shows are huge on that "no main character is ever actually in mortal danger" thing, so it was a dead giveaway. Someone really wanted to remake Sliders, but didn't want to do a remote control again. Too obvious. So how about a big ol' building instead?

Jack Gladney posted:I quit after the first episode. I'm guessing there's some kind of twist about their mission not being what they think--like Earth was actually destroyed by nuclear war and they're going back in time to fix it or something dumb, but I wasn't even motivated enough to google it. It's like somebody at the network saw that mad men was popular and demanded a sci-fi mad men and then never checked up on it after that. Yeah, that was my exact thought. All they wanted was Mad Men in Space, so they slapped together a crappy story around it and dropped Tricia Helfer into it.

Did you watch The Road and feel like you didn't get quite enough horribly depressing apocalypse stuff and could use a little more? Then watch These Final Hours on Netflix.

fliptophead posted:I don't know if this one has been mentioned before but I just watched Time Lapse and it was surprisingly OK. Wasnt expecting anything going in. The summary is three friends stumble across a device which takes photos 24 hours in the future. They use it for personal gain but then things start to unravel. Check it out if you like messing with time thriller type movies. Time Lapse made me feel like writers are a little hard up for new ideas for time-fuckery movies, but it was so-so.

If you're really hard up for a cookie-cutter "motley crew of people that don't trust each other live on a spaceship together, fly around and shoot things" show, then watch Dark Matter.

Breaking Bad didn't have good ratings at the start, but the critics liked it. They started climbing after it went up on streaming, I think. And they shot up during Season 5.

I liked the cast, but I thought it was pretty weak. And it's probably the least dark cult in all fiction, so I wouldn't watch it for that.

Filthy Hans posted:Lucas incapacitated the demigorgon when he basically rolled a natural 20 on his slingshot attack. After he hit, it was pinned to the classroom chalkboard by Eleven before she says goodbye and kills the fucker. She wasn't strong enough to take it out on her own but after it was slingshotted she could finally overpower it with her psychokinetics. Without their bravery the demigorgon would continue to terrorize the town, and the only scientists who really knew how they might stop it were already dead. The teenagers. Will's brother and Mike's sister.

Sir Kodiak posted:I appreciate the summary. I'm curious what it's about in the sense that, say, Breaking Bad is about the destruction caused by a man selfishly chasing his need for validation and respect, not in the sense that it's about a high school chemistry teacher making meth. Does that make sense? It's about a man trying to readjust to the world and start his life after losing more than a decade in a world where most people hate him for something he might not have done.

Slandible posted:It was picked up for a second season, so maybe they will go into detail what's wrong. Still enjoyed everything from this season. Maybe. My issues with the finale were more about execution than not getting all the details. For example, I'm fine with the Jason stuff not being concluded, because that's obviously a hook.
