This. I was a latecomer to this show and watched all 3 seasons within a few weeks. I'm a huge huge fan of Mads Mikkelsen but the whole cast is great. The story, the setting, the writing, the way it's filmed... so good.

That show is so awesomely graphic for a network television show. It restored my faith in networks other than AMC and FX. It will be interesting to see what happens next season.

This one hurts to bring up.....

but one of the best shows ever created only saw two seasons, ended on a HUGE cliffhanger and we'll never know what happens cause HBO is dumb and pulled the plug too early. I think this show would be huge if it came out now with the type of TV that is out there and DVR's being more rampant. I hesitate to bring it up because you'll hate me for watching 2 seasons to end on a cliffhanger and never know how it ends BUT i still say it's still worth watching even with that being the case.

Season 2 is going back in time to 1979 to focus on Molly's dad. Supposedly it's going to always center on the town of Fargo but not a single actor is returning because of the time change and the character or two that may have been in the first season will be played by other actors because of the time change as well.

We just finished season 2 of Orange is the new Black. SRS LULZ in the finale. "Scatter the nuns!"

"NUNS RUN!"

That, the epic "suck my dick" moment, and the "dat one, always so rude" flare out brought the damn awesome.

Mad Men finale season part one was sorta meh aside from a couple of moments where everything went full-blown :freak: . The fucking musical got me cracking up hard. The rest was just sorta there and heading in expected directions. Oh, the one dude flipping his lid over the computer was pretty epic. He found the release valve. :facepalm:

SoA has gotten so goddamn stupid. I basically fast forward through half the episodes now just to see whats going to happen. Even though I already know whats going to happen since I've read Hamlet.

Agreed - Its become cartoonish and the 12 murders every week in a town of 20,000-50,000 people is just.. :FACEPALM:

I will say the last couple episodes have improved a little, (writing) but the show has jumped the shark in grand scheme



PS.... Dont laugh, but i have watched some episodes of 'Gotham' (FOX) and its not bad, decent writing, i like a couple of characters, its a bit over-the-top at times with some things, but its actually not a bad TV show for regular mainstream TV. Its ok and not bad to watch before football on monday nights

:idk:

Started binging on Orange is the New Black. Very solid show. Great sense of humor and a good cast. Very well scripted and acted especially when compared to most women in prison films :lol:

I shredded through Hannibal in about 5 days. It was incredible. I still can't believe that they'll put insane violence on TV, but can't stand to show a little nipple.
