The 12th Commandment Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I checked out Extant and after a slow start I was impressed with season 1. Halle Berry with short hair is always a good thing. Then we get to season 2. Wow, what a colossal fail. It turned from a fairly serious, grounded show about some interesting scfi themes into a sort of bounty hunter of future thriller with major characters doing 180's or disappearing entirely and new ones added. The Gov from WD is actually a decent addition but he would've been in the old show too. And Halle has long hair now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Mr. Robot has been fantastic and I would hope someone would recognize Remi Malek for the work he has done so far on that show And now for a spoilerish??? question... Is Christian Slater's character imaginary? I notice that no one else seems to interact with him or be effected by him. Just Elliot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Christian Slater's character imaginary? I notice that no one else seems to interact with him or be effected by him. Just Elliot. I think so. I noticed that last episode and went back and watched the other episodes. Nobody talks to him or directly responds to him. if he's not imaginary, I'm not sure what else it could be. Mr. Robot & Humans are my favorite new shows this season Edited July 22, 2015 by StillUnknown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOF44 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 How come nobody told me about Mr. Robot? 2 epis in, loving it so far Good mention!! Watched the first episode, looks awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Well I guess that was that on Mr Robot. Christian Slater's character actually interacted with quite a few people this show..and they all saw him. So unless Elliot is so far gone that he is imaging even that - which is possible - it looks like Slater's character isn't imaginary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'mt not so sure I'm thinking that Elliot & Mr. Robot are the same person. In those scenes that they interacted with Mr. Robot, Elliot was basically ignored or wasn't a factor at all. Mr. Robot could be Elliot looking at himself from a "outsiders" point of a view at times Edited July 27, 2015 by StillUnknown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also..other team members of fsociety actually interacted with him too. That is going to be hard to justify if he is not real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen anybody have simultaneous conversation with Elliot & Mr. Robot I'm usually slow to pick things up like this, but it still feels they are one and the same to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visionary Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Started American Horror story several weeks back. I am about to wrap-up the second season. Good stuff. I think the first two were amazing...season 3 was entertaining but inconsistent and kind of all over the place and season 4 was well acted (some great one on one scenes and some pretty cool/creepy characters) but kind of went off the rails near the end.

visionary Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I was watching the preview for the upcoming show The **** Executioner and thinking it looked interesting. Then I looked it up on IMDB and saw that Kurt Sutter and his wife are in it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

velocet Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 UnReal on Lifetime: I daresay Lifetime (a network described by a feminist blog commenter I read once as "television for victims") is looking to expand its viewership if efforts like this are any indication. There is one episode left. I'm pretty sure the season is available on demand for a binge watch. I give this a B- in the most honest assessment. velocet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveo21 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 "Narcos" is coming out on Netflix at the end of the month. NARCOS is the true story of the U.S. and Colombian efforts to battle the Medellin cartel during the cocaine-fueled drug wars of the 1980's. Multi-layered and multi-faceted, NARCOS depicts a brutal world where lines are blurred and little is black and white. The Netflix original series, starring Wagner Moura, Boyd Holbrook, and Pedro Pascal, premieres August 28, 2015. Looks fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Evil Genius Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Because of the thread I just created..one of my favorite and I think more underrated scifi shows. Fringe Especially because of the amazing work of John Noble and the amazing to look at Anna Torv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocket442Olds Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I've been watching Hell on Wheels since it first started. It's kept me interested.

Best Western series since Deadwood I think it was on Sy-Fy...last year? Not sure. If that's the same one, it was entertaining, but kind of unbelievable. I'm a JJ Abrams guy, so I can do unbelievable, as long as it's good, and not campy Edited August 3, 2015 by Mr. Sinister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chew Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Anybody watch Outlander? I realize I am late to liking the show, but I am just over halfway through the season, and it has been fun.

Dont Taze Me Bro Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Anybody seen this show called Ascension? It's on Netflix... Seems to be highly rated, and im teetering on whether or not to give it a go. Yeah, I enjoyed it. Only 3 episodes, so even if you don't like it, you didn't waste much time, just six hours. But I thought it was original and pretty cool. Was hoping it catches on and they boot up a full time series, but just read they stated they would not pursue. I think it was on Sy-Fy...last year? Not sure. If that's the same one, it was entertaining, but kind of unbelievable. Yep, that's the one. I thought it was believable, won't elaborate cause I don't want to spoil it for anyone that hasn't seen it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 If you are not watching Mr. Robot..I guarantee you are missing the best show of the Summer and maybe the calendar year. Only 3 episodes left (7 down so far) this season. Seriously, watch the show. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
