TV Thread - beware, [expletive] can get spoilery

Hannibal:

I wish it had been cancelled.

Good news for you. It just got cancelled. This is it's last season.

I'm hoping Amazon picks it up for one more, but 3 seasons isn't too bad.

Gillian Anderson's character is a big zero. There's way too many people in Hannibal's thrall for me to remotely buy it.

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.

Aside from the music (the White Stripes and that song from Dumb and Dumber for an early 20th century England, really?), I like this show a lot. It's worth a look for any Boardwalk Empire fans.

The pace is a bit of a struggle, but I'm fine with her character. Even though it seems like she made a
Sharp turn somehwere between seasons that doesn't quite make sense. I just like that a show is able to try what it's trying, even if it fails a little bit.

I'm a little unclear about what Will's state of mind is currently, but that's about par for the course. And this character Chiyo and the caged man, are they even real? I honestly love that the show couldn't care less.

How good would the Office have been as a package if it ended with Michael's goodbye?

I just rewatched.

they completely changed the show. It went from being a profile/psychological thriller to...I don't know. What are they even doing right now? Remember when Hannibal was mind [expletive] the FBI, figuring out serial killers profile, then mind [expletive] the serial killers? That was great. Now...he's just like inviting people to his house and shoving ice picks in their head.

I think you can argue it's about the 3rd time they've changed the show, or 4th even. These last few feel like an extension of the last 3-4 episodes from last season, only even more dreamlike and less straightforward. In any case, I'm on board.

Also, it's likely to change again. Red Dragon stuff is coming up and Silence of the Lambs after that if they can keep going.

The Brink was pretty stupid. Horribly written, unfunny and a waste of a bunch of talent.

[cardsfantx]

yeah, i didn't even attempt it after i saw the previews/read the bad reviews.

just stuck with TD and ballers. ballers is pretty dumb as well, but i may stick it out since it's only a half hour/could be a good filler when nothing else is on.
