Zaggitz posted:Hi. Sell me on the Get Down, it's the one show I hadn't heard of from the Top Ten thread that really stood out to me from the glimpses I saw there. Do you like good music? Do you like watching a show showcasing a culture/scene you've never seen before? Would you like to see some of the best artist making art scenes ever put on TV? Do you have a tolerance for some rough sub-plots? Then you'll love the Get Down. Never managed to make a list for the Top Ten, but I'm gonna guess the Detour and Animal Kingdom (and Erased, why not) never made it on there. Kevin Reilly has been killing it on TBS/TNT.

Regy Rusty posted:I think it translates really well. I despised the movie too and the show nails the feel of the books perfectly. Aside from one person in the show's thread, everyone who's coming at the show from the background of the books seem to like it. It looks to me like people bouncing off the first episode tend to not like the style that the show and books are going for. Uh I'm the one guy that actually really liked the movie, but is kinda wary of committing to something that seems to spin its wheel as a thematic point, 1) why did you not like the movie, and 2) what does the show do better than it? Thx. Party Plane Jones posted:Coming from nowhere, here's the new Elizabeth Moss show on Hulu: The Handmaid's Tale: Posted it a few pages ago. Excited/dreading it, it's a real, real heavy book.

Rhyno posted:Sell me on Shut Eye. Jeffrey Donovan stars in it, the guy who managed to carry Burn Notice for umpteenth seasons, and played the excellent bad guy in the second season of Fargo. He faces off against another alum from Fargo, Bear, who here plays the patriach of a ruthless Romanian crime family that runs psychic shops in L.A. It's basically riffs off Fistful of Dollars, as a small-time conman/magician tries to keep his head above water, while plotting against various crime type figures, all the while balancing his home life (enabled by his wife, who's just loving feroicous) and trying to get rich. It's got good dialogue, a look into a world I'm sure as hell not familiar with (there's a lot of stuff about the Roma that turns the culture away from being the one note stereotype we're all used to, while emphasizing how different the lifestyle could be), and a season long plotline that largely wraps satisfactorily. It's good daylight noir/light Elmore Leonard.

X-O posted:The thing is, cable is actually still much cheaper for anyone that actually already has a bundle with cable internet and would want to sub to even just the HBO, Showtime, Starz and sports packages and then you still get all the other channels too. Because I use my own cablecard equipment for internet and cable I end paying around $150 or so a month for cable and internet service and that gives me HBO, Showtime, Starz, Cinemax, and TMC. Then I also have access to all my College Basketball and NBA games that I want that I'd have to track down and pay for through other means. I have access to all the ESPN3 services. It would be beyond stupid for me drop cable. My internet alone would be over half that if I dropped the bundle and then I'd need to sub to all those services and and it would actually be more than I'm paying for internet and cable with all the premiums now. And that's not even taking into consideration being able to record shows and having access to other channels like USA, Syfy, History etc. Yeah, same, except it's basic cable/high speed internet/HBO for 180 split b/w 2 people, so I'm paying 90 a month for a billion channels that I use OnDemand to primarily catch up on. Still a good deal, but maybe that'll change in the future. Rhyno posted:Zoo was so terrible that I found myself really enjoying it. Really? Goliath has had some bad reviews.

It might be a little on the twee side for some people ("LET'S RECORD THE ENTIRE ALBUM OUTDOORS! THE CITY IS OUR BACKDROP!"), but it's still goddamn great in its own way. Ruffalo is loving awesome in it. The movie should be on Netflix. Once is the movie from his oevre (sp?) that you need to see. It's so good.

She's mentioned in this article, and this part is instructive quote:When Vayntrub got the news, she was on a callback for a network comedy. She had been asked to return to audition for the producers. “They said, ‘For this callback, they really want you, they love what you did. They just want you to be sexier, dress a little sexier.’ I didn’t listen to that and wore exactly what I wore to the first audition. So I go, and it’s twelve men,” Vayntrub said.

DivisionPost posted:You ever read a TV review and then just start laughing uncontrollably halfway through it, because you've been waiting for the show in question and it sounds like it exceeded every unreasonably high expectation you had? I can already see that they're taking cues from the recent comic series (cut down way too short in its run) Legion by way of a villain's name and possible scene as described by Sepinwall. Get it its pretty excellent and pairs well with what this show seems to be.

Yeah his number one nemesis was always himself, and his arcs tend to resolve themselves via the equivalent of extreme psychotherapy. I'm so psyched that there is someone so good at TV that managed to find this incredibly obscure character, it's perfect.

Cart posted:Annual reminder that The Americans is the actual best show on TV that people would enjoy watching if they gave it a chance (sorry Rectify). I hate to be that guy again, but since there's so many ppl here raving about it.... I think the Americans is a punishing show that is humorless and ridiculously harrowing. It's not a show that I enjoyed that much and by the second season I was glad to leave it behind and watch something else.

lelandjs posted:. With the fear of resurrecting decade old arguments, I don't think this is entirely fair. Lost lost people because it so leaned into the mystery and conspiracy angle, which really when you think of can never really have that much of a satisfying ending, and people bought into the premise that there would be a satisfactory ending, as implied by the show and explicitly stated by the creators during its run. That's the cause of the bad taste re the show and its lowered ranking on shows people talk about a decade or so after its finale, IMO. Don't have a personal dog in this hunt, I'd already peaced out with the hatch reveal.

Edit; so add 12 from there, 8 from Netflix, and 85 for cable/internet that includes HBO, Starz, Cinemax, etc. It used to be even more expensive before I switched from my old TWC account to Spectrum.

I am full of ANGER and FIRE guys because apparently I can't download the app from the Playstation store, the latest ep of Legion isn't on Demand, and a teaser for next week might have ruined the last episode's twist (I'm assuming there is a twist, dammit, please don't confirm). NOT GOOD, Bill.
