Hannibal:

I wish it had been cancelled. Can't make it through a single episode without falling asleep. I've tried to watch episode 2 like 5 times and am yet to get through it. Unsurprisingly, I fell asleep watching episode 3 last night. Someone want to give me the rundown on what happened. I saw a chicken being plucked for like a minute. So...no need to rehash that exhilarating part.

True Detective was stupid and horrible.

True Detective was stupid and horrible.

It was a parody of itself. So much ACTING! No single character felt natural. The script was dumb. I'll keep watching to see where it goes and because enough critics I like have been positive enough for me to wait it out. Maybe the non-Justin Lin eps will be a little less non-meditative director trying to be meditative and a little more substance.

There isn't a single character who's just a person. Every single character has to have some demon that drives them.

Should I watch Season 1?

[go birds]

Yes you should watch Season 1 and then go into Season 2 with rock bottom expectations

[thrill]

Should I watch Season 1?

Yeah. It's definitely good. It's just as pretentiously written but the lines as delivered by McConaughey and the lines as delivered by Vince Vaughn are on another level.

I would agree with all of that.

I would also add that it felt like what would happen if a David Lynch-obsessed first-year film student tried to remake Crash.

watched the first couple episodes of "Peaky Blinders" on Netflix. BBC gangster drama 1920s England. Seems like something I've seen before, but in a different setting. It's good - but it doesn't deserve the 8.8 rating it gets on IMDB.

Anyone else in on Orphan Black? This show is bonkers.

wanting to start watching....good?

Well, finally started watching this weekend & we're about halfway through season 2 and I've been thoroughly entertained. What a great show that I'm sure is missed by plenty since its on BBCA.

Like you said, the main actress is really, really, good.

Original premise as well, which is always nice.
