Ok I watched the first episode of Sweet/Vicious and I enjoyed it a lot but DP please tell me this show doesn't present every single male character bar the love interest as a rapist. Please? I'm all for feminist television but no to that.

The first two seasons of Skins are great, the third season is half-ace, half-dreadful and from then on it goes completely off the rails. I watched season 4 right up until the penultimate cliffhanger where Freddie confronts Effy's therapist because he has been hypnotising her so he can kidnap her and gets murdered with a baseball bat

I finished American Crime Story. I never thought I would have said it at the start but David Schwimmer was outstanding, he turned out being the emotional heart of the show. He played Rob's slow loss of faith in OJ so well. I want to give him a hug

Halfway through Iron Fist and it's... ok? I guess? Colleen Wing is fantabulous and the storyline is starting to get fun but the action is for the most part bland, there's way too much focus on corporate manoeuvrings and Finn Jones is nowhere near the level of Cox, Ritter or Colter. Also the opening credits sequence is awful.

Ten episodes in and Iron Fist has got more fun. There's been less focus on corporate stuff and an increase in mystical ninja kung fu which has made things much more interesting.

Lots of TV shows have included abuse at some point, but Jessica Jones is the first show that I've seen that really got abuse right and it has nothing to do with the Marvel brand. Half the time when TV shows show abuse it's a shorthand for establishing a character as a bad guy, the other half it's designed to give the hero something to struggle past for an episode or two. It's a plot point that is introduced and then dropped once the writers have moved on to the next dramabomb. Jessica Jones understands that the horror of abuse isn't in the act itself, it's about the long-term damage that's inflicted after the fact. The aftermath of abuse is messy and dark and painful and the show doesn't shy away from that. Then on top of that it takes that theme and runs with it through every aspect of the show to a level that most other shows don't ever even try to achieve. It might not always be perfect in execution but it's got a lot to say if you want to listen. Also I really need to get back to Sweet/Vicious.

The latest episode of Orphan Black was really heartfelt. It looks like they're putting in the effort to pull all the disparate seasons together so that the final package wraps together.

Has anyone tried Gypsy on Netflix yet? It popped up after I finished Glow and it's got Naomi Watts and looks intriguing but its directed by the guy who did 50 Shades of Grey so I'm unsure.

I'll be around posting still but direct all your sticky requests and thread title changes to one of those guys from now on. X-O's actor must have pissed off the EPs by asking for too high a pay raise  Quick, someone recast him with a younger actor!

Several Goblins posted:So Couch Chat, I'm some sort of weird crazy person who has watched almost nothing but movies for my entire life. I've only seen a small handful of TV shows to completion, and a few episodes or first seasons here and there. And most of what I've watched have been recent. My girlfriend and co-workers have been telling me to catch up on stuff for forever now and I'm just now getting around to doing it. I've seen the following shows in their entirety: Ok fella, I gotcha covered: Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel The Sopranos The Wire 24 Prison Break Battlestar Galactica Lost Game of Thrones Breaking Bad Daredevil/Jessica Jones/Luke Cage Sense8 Mr. Robot That should get you through all the essentials

As a non-American who is very disconnected from the racial struggles of your country, the premise of Confederate intrigues me. I totally get why people would think it was an awful idea though.

spudsbuckley posted:Just finished watching the last episode of Orphan Black. Totally going to disagree with that. This season did an amazing job of tying everything together and the finale was a beautiful coda for the show. I love that they wrapped up the conspiracy stuff in the first 15 minutes and just focused on the sestras living their lives from there.

Escobarbarian posted:Orphan Black seems like exactly the kind of show that was so besotted with its characters it would want to give them all warm happy endings whether they're deserved or not so none of this surprises me at all To be honest it's quite refreshing to have a show that ends with all the main characters getting a positive conclusion to their stories. I wouldn't want it for every show but I felt like it worked for this one. Each one of the sestras went through so much poo poo over the course of the show they'd each earned the happy ending

I finally got to watching the pilot for the Deuce. It's the best first episode of a David Simon I've seen yet. The characters were compelling and there were some really beautifully done moments - I loved how Candy's phone messages transitioned from whore life to real life as she was stripping off her whore gear. No idea how things are going to tie together, obviously, but they presented a world I really want to dive into deeper.
