TV Thread - beware, [expletive] can get spoilery

[BW23]

What's a good series to catch up on via DVD? I really don't have time to watch TV, and I don't get any of the movie channels. Just watched True Detective last weekend, now I'm looking for something else.

Have you seen Justified?

No. What do they have, about 3 seasons now?

It's on FX, so 5 seasons of about 12-13 episodes each. I believe the 6th and final season starts in January.

Yeah, I'll second that one. It's one of the better shows on TV, and I think one of the more underrated shows. And I think you'd like it a lot.

In other news, I still love the tar out of The Strain. Turning Guillermo del Toro loose on a horror-based TV show is the best thing to happen to TV in quite some time. I can't wait to find out more about whatever Black Ops chicanery was going on at the end of last night's episode.

They're going to make an HBO show based on shutter island

Cranston beat McConaughey. I'll take little pieces of justice where I can get them.

That was awesome. Though I want a web episode about those guys designing and purchasing their outfits.

Had to be vampires that hunt vampires, right?

When I saw that dude's face I yelled out "YES! THIS IS AWESOME!"
I love this dumb show. It's never long enough.

That's what I assume. I want to know how/why they're fighting their own kind.

And just big picture, I want to know why some vampires can talk and carry on conversations while others are grunting parasitic imbeciles.

I seriously want to binge-watch ten more episodes every time I see an episode.

And who lives then turns and who dies then turns? Is it something about the victim or does the master or whoever is turning them choose to let them live by not draining them of all their blood?

It feels like they don't have a handle on that, and I wonder how it is in the novel/comics. Not that it's a big deal given the kind of show it is.

You have:

The Master - who seems more like a demon so far
Eichhorst - who is a civilized, walking/talking vampire - maybe the hooded guy is the same as him? Different look though.
The 4 survivors - who woke up before everyone and took varying times to fully turn, and yet seemingly ended up the same as the rest of the plane victims
The little girl - who woke up and went home, spoke to her father, but seemed to already be turned
All the rest, who just seem like bloodthirsty animals incapable of (or uninterested in) communicating
