PleaseBlitz Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Crap. This new amazon prime original series "The Man in the High Castle" looks very cool. But I ain't adding another tv provider to my life or budget. Prime, even without original programming, is the best thing in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumbo Posted September 6, 2015 Author Share Posted September 6, 2015 I've only seen 2 episodes of Sense8 (orig. series netflix---metaphysical/conspiracy/"gifted" people) but already some things stand out. You have to pay attention every minute---it's convoluted. The soft core porn scene(s) so far are more distracting than helpful to actual show. It's using great footage shot all over the globe. In many scenes, the look, from filming quality to setting/staging is like a big budget movie. Don't really need to add another series with complex plot and many lead characters that you have to follow super closely each episode to my list, but I'll see how it goes. Probably better for binge viewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Califan007 The Constipated Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Binged-watched Sense8 today...didn't expect to like this show as much as I did. And has some serious bad-ass character moments with Wolfgang and Sun lol... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo-toni Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Anyone watched Public Morals. Binge watched the first 10 episodes. TNT network series written and directed by Ed Burns about corrupt NYC vice squad in the 60s in Hells Kitchen when a turf war breaks out amongst the Irish. Anyone intrigued by Blunt Talk? Starring Patrick Stewart and written by Jonathan Ames (Bored to Death). Saw the first couple of episodes and it was pretty funny, mostly just because seeing Capt Picard as a manic druggie alcoholic picking up tranny hookers is so whacky.

Jumbo Posted September 19, 2015 Author Share Posted September 19, 2015 Wet Hot American Summer is fun (netflix original series). Pretty "silly" material, but lots of good enough moments. Large ensemble cast with many familiar faces, and I can't tell yet whether some roles that may come and go quickly (I'm only on episode 4). Nothing really great so far, but it's fun pap and worth checking out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

visionary Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Gotham starts up again on Monday. hokey as it is, i enjoy it. ~Bang I liked it for the most part, but I thought the season final was pretty bad. Way over the top ridiculousness. I hope Fish isn't around and that Barbara will be less annoying this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Yeah, the big 4 haven't had anything since Lost as far as I can remember, other than maybe American Crime. Heroes Reborn will hopefully be pretty good. Watching some previews now, the two leads from Cinemax's Strike Back(Sullivan Stapleton and Philip Winchester)both have a couple of new shows that could be pretty good in Blindspot and The Playe. Of course both are on NBC so they'll probably tank and be cancelled within three episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Minority Report based on the movie premieres tonight on Fox at 9pm. Blindspot premieres at 10pm on NBC. Based on the pilots leaked online, I think the later has a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Today's new shows making premieres: ABC's The Muppets at 8pm Fox's Scream Queens at 8pm, with a 2 hour premiere. CBS's The Limitless, a sequel to the movie. Bradley Cooper will occasionally appear in the first season. I don't think CBS has anything to worry about but at least there will now be alternatives to CBS's shows and NBC's The Voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chew Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 I've seen the Gotham trailer, and it looks pretty action packed, but I just can't get with network action series. Maybe I'm spoiled by premium television (sopranos, wire, Californication, Leftovers, Ray donovan, etc). But I want GRAPHIC violence, graphic language, and sexual content. Network television is so handcuffed with what they can do, I just can't. It's weak. ::shrug:: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo-toni Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Couldn't get through the first episode of the Affair. My wife got through most of the first season and didn't like it. Watched Blind Spot last night. It was a bit disappointing - most of the acting was awful, but it seems to have potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
