Was she actually naked for all of those scenes or was it a body double? Some of her scenes were definitely shot in such a way to make it easy to fake.
She's said in interviews that she and Evan Rachel Ward did their own nude scenes.

I hate procedurals about as much as I hate sitcoms, but I loved PoI from the beginning. I had severe PTSD and could relate to Caviezel's performance completely. The stiff reactions and uncomfortableness in his own skin was something I could totally understand and watching him loosen up as the series progressed until he finally got some redemption was wonderful.

Good Place spoiler : Yeah it was killer, the laugh too.
Someone predicted the twist in the first page of the thread, real glad I didn't follow it until now .Some shows are just better off not reading the thread about it.
EDIT: Just saw the warning to not discuss it. Put the post in a spoiler and will stop.
I never would have watched it without that spoiler though.

Pros:
Kevin Chapman as the District Captain.
Ernie Hudson as the Senior Sergeant.
Justin Kirk does smarmy arrogant rear end in a top hat really well.
It's a Matt Nix show and I liked the first few seasons of Burn Notice and all of The Good Guys
Len Wiseman was responsible for the amazing first season of Sleepy Hollow.
Nestor Sorrano's Mayor is the ideal corrupt rear end in a top hat this kind of series needs.
Cons:
Unfettered Surveillance is the best!
Chicago underfunding the CPD? Not going to happen. This should have been set in Detroit.
Magical computer tech.
Has a 'White Man's Burden' vibe along with adding 'Rich Techie' to the beginning of the phrase.
Two things would make this better. Make it subversive as gently caress by outwardly touting how great this surveillance and millions poured into tech are, while simultaneously showing how hosed up Chicago is getting because of it. Second, have Captain Hauser call his cousin Lionel in New York to brag about all the technology his district now has.

Cons:
The premise is still ridiculous.
Kevin Chapman isn't in the regular cast.
Pros;
Abraham Benrubi is now a mostly regular playing a former Pro wrestler that retired and became an engineer.
Ernie Hudson is still there.
The third episode is giving hints this is a stealth dystopia show just like PoI was. It won't be as good of course, but it's starting to look interesting.

I personally think the first half of Hannibal s3 is the best thing the show ever did. Its literally the pinnacle of everything the show had been working towards up until that point, and it's so goddamn bizarre and audacious. Not my fault Lyman be takin my comments out of context!
It's my favorite part of the series too. Fuller could have done a mike drop at the last scene of of that arc and the story would have been perfect.

I think it's about time to replace my 20 year-old CRT and bunny-ears. What's the "good enough" tier of TVs these days for watching the news and other broadcast TV? 1080p LCD?

That's about 20 inches more than I need. I'm looking for something on the "computer monitor with an antenna jack" side of things and will be headed to the store to browse tomorrow. I just don't know what the line is right now between "useful tech" (digital for example, which is of course universal now) and "paying for the privilege of having the best tech" (4K resolution, OLED, stuff like that)
I actually have two of those 40" units, one of which is my primary computer monitor.

I watched the series finale of Grimm, a show I really liked for the first seasons until they made an unfortunate decision in the writers' room and switched female leads. Still, I had not seen any episodes since that one and was curious to see how it wrapped up. It was awful oh god was it awful. one decent fight (with Trouble involved of course) and a bunch of absolutely terrible ones. Emotional beats that had no depth to them and terrible dialogue.

Squirrel Girl's getting a series, apparently. On Freeform.
(They're the ones who are also doing Cloak and Dagger, which is confirmed to have an initial season order that's ten episodes long. Not clear on whether they can/will extend it like they usually do with their dramas.)
I just want Freeform to bring back The Middleman.

American Gods starts tonight on Starz.
Here are the opening credits. I'm getting a "Hannibal meets Blade Runner meets a Nine Inch Nails video" vibe from it. The Hannibal vibes makes sense, since Bryan Fuller is in charge.

Travelers is very good and agreed on Sense8, if you aren't liking it after four or five eps. It's probably not for you. The second season has much better pacing than the first though.

If I was one of those people who'd waited 20 years for a live action adaptation on HBO, only for the live aciton adaptation to decide it's doing its own thing, I'd be pissed too.
I waited twenty years for this and I love the series. I also think the casting has been fantastic.

Remember all those Lost copycats from the mid- to late-2000s that were predicated on having a mysterious mythology story arc but never got resolved because none of them lasted?
Like THE EVENT. I remember one advert for THE EVENT.
"You have to tell me about THE EVENT."
"I'm sorry, but THE EVENT is classified."
"I'm the President of the United States; I need to know about THE EVENT."
"I'm sorry, sir, but I can't tell you about THE EVENT."
"TELL ME ABOUT THE EVENT!"
I also remember a show called Vanished which was about a kidnapping that ended up involving a government conspiracy and (I think) the end of the world. The most noteworthy things about it were a) it killed off its main character; and b) after it ended without resolving its storyline, the showrunner of Bones of all things announced that the story could potentially be resolved in whatever the next season of Bones was going to be (it was not - but that would be pretty funny, if all the cancelled and unfinished Lost-alikes had been resolved in episodes of Bones).
(Vanished ran at the same time as another kidnapping-themed show called Kidnapped, which I remember being pretty decent.)
Invasion, Surface, Persons Unknown. I liked all three of those too, especially Invasion.

Luther is really good. I'm also planning on watching The Fall since I've heard good things about it.
e:
Just googling, there's so many it blows my mind, I haven't seen any of these so maybe other goons can get comment on them. But here's a list of stuff I've seen mentioned elsewhere...
Prime Suspect
Ripper Street
Whitechapel
Broadchurch
Inspector Morse
Inspector Lewis
Poirot
Grantchester
Foyle's War
Inspector George Gently
Waking the Dead
Wire in the Blood
Murdoch Mysteries
Jack Taylor
Taggart
Some of these are older than others, apparently Taggart has been on for 27 freaking seasons. I think we need a British TV thread.
Add Longmire to that list.

I really loved reading Watchmen in the 90s and honestly really liked Snyder's movie, flawed as it was in some places ("Hallelujah", no)
Same here, but I hated The Leftovers after slogging through the first two seasons so I have no idea how I feel about this.
