Mu Zeta posted:First episode was bad. Black guy has drug dealer family and then the teen high school drama that's already insufferable in under 5 seconds. Also the main character has one of the Ron Swanson escape bags and it looks ridiculous. Way to be inconspicuous by carrying around an extreme military looking bag. Jack had his satchel of holding to carry all his truckloads of ammo and/or heroin stash, why shouldn't the new guy? I haven't seen it yet but I'm about ready for some dumbassed 24 nonsense.

I caught an episode, and it seems like someone really wanted to make an 'edgy' Harry Potter where casting spells is basically over-dramatic gloving. You pretty much got it.

STAC Goat posted:Lost just became a mess long before the finale. It had raised so many questions with no clear or satisfying answers that that consumed it, and then it became about giving over explanations to those answers that could never be as interesting as the stuff fans had spent years dreaming up (and even if it was, the fans would just say they called it years ago). It just became this muddled mess of using magic to justify whatever thing they wanted to do and the narrative completely fell apart. Agreeing with all of this post right here.

Spatula City posted:Also, Netflix is trying to produce content for, it seems like, every conceivable niche. Some of those niches encompass people with very lousy taste in television. And some of those shows that are agreed to be "bad" are judged so by people who are in no way the show's target audience, like how people savaged Fuller House. I didn't watch Fuller House because it sounds like hot trash but on MBMBAM they talked about it some and I will admit that I appreciate the sheer Dumbness of DJ Tanner being resentful that her younger sister became a successful DJ.

Hughmoris posted:How has Black Sails turned out as a show? I watched the first few episodes of the first season and fell out of it. I've heard that it made a big turnaround but I don't want to venture into that thread for fear of spoilers. So, should I give Black Sails another try? Season 1 was slow and very heavy on build-up and I almost gave up on it, but it finally got going around the end of season 1 and has not stopped being amazing since then.

OK I just watched the first 3 episodes of new 24 and what the gently caress are you nerds complaining about? This is awesome vintage Dumb as hell 24! I cannot imagine what people are having problems with, CTU still sucks at their job, the new Jack is still a damaged lone badass, it's still vaguely-to-very racist towards muslims, dudes get shot a lot, the plot is stupid as all hell with multiple twists; it's 24 as gently caress!

I guess it has been off since mid December, coming back on March 8th, which explains why I haven't seen ads or heard about it lately. I liked it ok but they haven't aired any episodes since early december. I really hate the family plots though. Oh no teen son is angsty but president bauer loves him and farrrrrrrrrt~

lelandjs posted:It's been renewed through 2019. But it has short seasons so the cast has time to work on movies and TV shows, which is how Charlie Day has been in at least one movie a year for the past five years and how Kaitlyn Olsen has time for The Mick. THAT'S why she was so familiar! It's been a long time since I watched any always sunny.

I'm losing my cable hookup and checking out services, and wow that youtube thing doesn't even make the short list. I can plug channel holes with  , but I do want live CNN.PS Vue seems like the best, but it runs like absolute loving rear end on PCs, which is kind of how I do my watching. My big fucker desktop runs it fine, but my laptop and the mini pc on my bedroom tv are hitchy as hell. Flash. Flash in 2017? SAD! But it has a cloud DVR. If Sling's on demand covers enough I might use it. The only sport I remotely care about is F1 so that's not a factor.

bull3964 posted:Yeah, which is why CBS being included in this could be a big value add for some people. True. I wish CBS and Viacom would stop being such cunts about these things. It's not a big deal for me to get their content anyway but I would gladly pay another 5 bucks to psvue or sling or whoever to just have it all in one place. I want to be lazy like I am with my current setup of just having every drat thing. X-O posted:If I look at the price of my cable/internet bundle then $35 a month is more than half of what I pay for cable with HBO, Showtime, Starz, and Cinemax. And that gets me all the channels included and excluded from the Youtube thing and all the sports channels and access to stream all the channels anywhere I want at any time. Not to mention all the on demand stuff. That price is horrible. Whoa, how? The sat tv package I leech is around 200 i think for the 2 DVRs and one other box for every channel under the sun. Comcrap at my apartment(building sadly isn't wired for FiOS) would be like 100 more than my current internet for a low tier package with HD and 1 DVR. $35 is what you'd pay for just those pay channels, what providor do you have?

X-O posted:I approach Hulu the same way I do Netflix. When there's an exclusive show I want to watch I'll sign up for a month, watch that show and whatever else until the end of that month and then cancel. I imagine they have metrics to show what I initially signed up to view and then they can gauge based on that what shows are getting them money or not. For me it's just a waste to keep subscriptions to either service as I never use them enough to justify paying when there's nothing specific I want to watch. I use Netflix exactly how they want me to: "gently caress it it's 10 bucks whatever." I do get pretty consistent use out of it though. Right now I'm watching old episodes of McGyver.

GreenNight posted:That's a hard show to watch now. You have to be a child of the 80s to deal with it. I don't disagree, but it helps that I am and that I used to watch it in syndication twice(I think) every day every afternoon on USA. This is fully a nostalgia trip. The later seasons when it gets all after school special-y, I don't think I could take those.
