If I liked Once Upon a Time, is Once Upon a Time in Wonderland worth bothering with for it's sole season, or should I just skip it?

[Benjamin]

I watched the first two episodes and decided it wasn't worth the 45 minutes. It's barely alright, and I really, really like Once Upon A Time.

Or at least I did.

[Benji]

Oh no, season three that bad?

Also, I dislike election season because every time it comes around I start to miss Spitting Image.

Would be a fantastic start to the cast for S2.

I love Once Upon a Time but Wonderland just wasn't worth the effort

I guess the writer took the whole misogyny criticism to heart.

Somebody please tell me Fargo's ratings are good enough for a renewal?

To the best of my knowledge, they haven't been fantastic or anything, so no one really knows if it'll be back. It deserves more attention. It's an anthology series, though, so we are getting a conclusion to this story at the end of this season regardless. Another season would tell a new story, and I think

the briefcase is planned to play apart in every season. If there is a season 2, someone is finding that fucking thing. Also, any chance Molly's really dead?

[Benjamin]

It's doing about the same as some of FX's other shows (The Bridge, The Americans), and they all got second seasons, so I'd be a little optimistic. It's been declining bit by bit, though.

[Ant]

The Americans..is that worth a watch?

[Benjamin]

From what I've heard, it's pretty good, I've always wanted to try to give it a watch, but I've got so much backed up as well.

Think I'll tackle one of those shows tonight. Maybe Rome. Or Hannibal. Or Big Love. Grr, too many shows.

[Benji]

Tackle Hannibal first. Great TV. Americans is good and has great moments, but first few eps are a grind til it finds it's rhythm.

[Benjamin]

Seriously, guys, I know I've been the only one harping this, but Modern Family's "The Wedding" two-part episode was absolutely fantastic, almost felt like a return to season 1 form. Nathan Lane stole the show, obviously.

[Benjamin]

So Gillian Jacobs has joined the cast of Girls. Damn it, knew I should have stuck with that show.

[Your Mom]

I knew this was going to happen Instead of being a great ending point the series finale of Revolution set up for a cool season 3 that will never happen

[Lint]

so after my sisters constant badgering of me, I decided to watch Broadchurch before Gracepoint debuts over here this fall. Almost done with the series...its good but not as great as she made it sound

[Josh]

Fargo:

HOLY SHIT

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

. . . Solverson.

[HC]

Fargo:

HOLY SHIT

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

. . . Solverson.

There's a really good chance she ain't dead. I'd probably bet as such.

[GoGo Yubari]

FARGO:

She's going to end up in the same hospital as Lester. I refuse to believe they would have killed her off not just midseason but as something other than the last scene in the episode. I honestly don't know if I could get behind this show with Gus Grimly as the only heroic figure in it.

BUT.

RIP Mr. Numbers I hope this isn't the end of Mr. Numbers and Mr. Wrench's awesome jazz drumbeat leitmotif.

Yeah, I'd be shocked if she's actually dead, but what a way to leave that plotline for now. Although I would love to see Gus forced to step up.
