Be Excellent To Each Other

Yeah, I watched that episode. Slightly (very) annoying to find out that was the last one!

Castle wasn't excellent either. Last minute story addition, fake cliffhanger and

Well it was going to get another series sans Beckett, then they decided against it - so no real surprise it had a weak ending.

I have about four episodes of The Good Wife left and am now upset! Such a great show!

I haven't read the spoilers though so will just hope that you're all wrong

There's no Good Wife spoilers, and we're not wrong, it's a dogshit ending.

Maybe they'll just make another series to fuck with you. I mean, they said they planned the ending from fucking years back, so I was expecting something good.

Well that's the end of Banshee then. It's a satisfying ending, but I'll miss it now it's gone.

Brilliant last episode. What a fantastic TV show that was.

Yeah, what a lot of fun that was. Sad to see it end but glad that it got a decent conclusion.

Very true, finaly finished watching Haven, another show with a shit ending.

Preacher 1x01: oh yes. Nailed everything: the characters, the tone, the look.

Am still slowly going towards the ending of The Good Wife. Am still annoyed that they balls it up.

Meant to be a spinoff coming though?

Anyway, I only found out today that Luca in it is a Brit!

It wasn't quite what I was expecting tone wise, but I don't really know what I was expecting. I agree it was good though.

Gilgun's accent isn't perfect, but aside from that he's an inspired choice for Cassidy, I can imagine he'll do a great job of both the comedic and tragic side of the character.

Interested to see who's it progresses.

I enjoyed Preacher, agree on the look of it. It was a solid start, not exceptionally brilliant but very solid...enjoyed the news story on in the background of the bar scene.

To be fair, it had a lot of pieces to assemble -- and did so without feeling artificial about it.

It did some solid character-building work in very small amounts of time, too. Notably with the church assistant lady who has the hots for Custer.

I liked Preacher, but I'm not sure I like what they've done with the characters' relationships, like they've just chucked a load of the characters from the comics together straight off. We'll see how we go.

I quite liked ep1, having never read the comics. Jesse's hair is indeed stupid.

I finished Season One of DAREDEVIL last night, which I thought was fantastic.

I will pile straight into Season Two over the weekend.

Watching entire seasons of things is quite a big investment of time, but I don't mind at all when the quality is this high.

I don't think season two is quite as good as the first, I think they tried to cram a little too much in, and so it feels a bit unfocused.

There is a lot of good stuff in it, though.

The Good Wife.

Yeah, I can see why people are annoyed about the ending!

Though lots of symbolism back to the first episode and others, and to thematic stuff.

I don't think it's too bad, to be honest, but I'm more easily pleased in such respects usually.

It certainly underscored one theme for me - that everyone in the entire show, Alisha included, is an incredibly self-centred dick.

Apart from poor Cary

Been watching Jack Irish, its an Australian show but very good so far.

I could only find S3 so started there.

It started out as standalone made for TV movies and yeah they were great. I seem to remember them all opening with a fantastic cinematic scene.

Edit: They are very Australian though.

Just had another look on the NG and there is now S1 and S2 6 episodes in each. Seasons look to be standalone stories but might start with S1

Its got some good humor in it for sure!

Not sure that's right.

I think season one is the first two movies, season two is the third movie, and then season three is the new TV series.

You'll be interested and pleased to hear that I've decided that Jessica Jones is quite good.

Imagine that

It took a while to get going, mind. Episode 3 and I was still bored.

Lovely nurse from Daredevil!

Findus' foughts on US TV as of now:

Daredevil. I just finished watching S2. Enjoyed the first season but this season felt like a slog. The Punisher and very much the best things in it. Karen very much the most annoying thing in it. TBH, ditto the increasingly emo and self-important DD himself. Fighting was boring. Seen one fight with identikit ninjas you've seen them all - and there are a lot of identikit ninjas in this.

On reflection, I'm not sure why I kept watching. Just wanted to see where things are heading and get more of the antagonists

Arrested Development. I've been rewatching S1 - S3 and it somehow manages to improve with age. The gags still hit hard and fast and the attention to detail just makes you brim with happiness sometimes. Now I'm restarting S4, which I only managed a few episodes of previously. I didn't like the new longer format, the gags felt fewer and further between, it just didn't feel as funny. Hoping to prove myself wrong when I watch it again, as I'd love it to be great. Ep 1 wasn't great unfortunately, but I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt for exposition.

They are supposedly recutting season 4 to be told in a more linear chronological order for TV broadcast, and I think it might be an improvement.

New Preacher is good new Preacher

Second episode is out on Amazon...really enjoyed it, I found it much better than the first (which was pretty good).

How does it compare to the graphic novels? I have all of those and its a great read.

Downloaded the first 3 episodes but not watched any yet

Yes your right took me a while to get them all but have everything now.

I'm working my way through Season 2 but it's not setting my world on fire, to the extent that I don't find it very difficult to find something else to do instead of watching the next episode.

Shane also has the same problem that he did in TWD, namely that I think he's right and the main good guy is wrong.

So in TWD it was like 'Shut up Rick, Shane is completely right, stop being such a bleeding heart tossrag'.

And in Dardevil it's like 'Shut up Matt, Shane (sorry, Punisher) is completely right, stop being such a bleeding heart tossrag.'

And yes, DD is turning into a bit of an annoying dick and the fight sequences are becoming genuinely dull, one of them felt like it just went on forever.

The overall roster of characters is nowhere near as interesting as Season 1 either.

I'll probably finish Season 2 though, just because it's there and stuff.

It's very good but I worry it's being too obtuse and will lose viewers who aren't familiar with the comic. Because I know what's going on, I can't judge if the show is being intriguing or annoying, but I suspect it's a bit too close to the latter.

Having not read the comics we're both really enjoying it.

Yeah, I've not read them either. I'm sure I'm missing references to stuff, but that doesn't seem to matter.

I read the comic, only the once and a while ago, and I am struggling to entirely follow the TV show (but am enjoying it regardless).

So you think maybe it runs the risk of getting canned after 1 season?

Just finished narcos. That's some brilliant TV. Nearly gave up after a couple of episodes because I didn't like DEA man and Pablo wasnt doing it for me (after reading the essential book Killing Pablo). But i take that hesitation back. Brilliant TV show. If you don't watch it, you're wasting those pixels in your telly box.

Worth watching Elite Squad by the same director, and has the Pablo Escabar actor in it too.

Aquarius is back for season 2 today.

We got 4 episodes in, will have to start again or carry on where we left off if we can remember who is who.

It's an excellent way to brush up on your Spanish swearing.

That and the sequel are probably the only worthy action movies released this century. Those and Fury Road, of course.

Dear fucking Lord you are so horribly wrong I'm not even going to bother with a list.

Let me guess:

Expendables
Expendables 2
Expendables 3
