They've been great. Going into the what is happening with Hannibal in Europe and then the Will episode was phenomenal, it's done superbly.

[Hellraiser]

Couldn't disagree more. Maybe that is because I also really don't care about the Gillian Anderson character and her relationship with Hannibal. All these stupid hallucination/imagination scense with Will and Hannibal and this talk about his memory palace also bores me to tears. Get on with it already.

[GoGo Yubari]

Only watched the first two episodes. Thusfar, Hannibal is Hannibal to me. I appreciate it and love the acting but I always feel like it holds me at a distance. It's really good gallery art that I can look at but not touch.

[Colly]

The Wire in HD. Really tempted to just start from the beginning again, it's beautiful.

[HC]

Anyone watch Rectify? I'm binging and about done with season 2. It's a very gripping show for those into less action and more slow burn pace.

Also watched Deutschland 83 on Sundance and thought it was pretty promising. Seems like an enjoyable spy show if you don't mind subtitles.

[Benji]

Anyone watched Dark Matter yet? Any good? I want to give it a shot but not sure whether to build up a few episodes first or if it's the kind of thing that'll hook me straight off.

[Benjamin]

I have the first two episodes but no real inclination to watch it. My brother says it's good, and the reviews for it have been above average, so maybe it's worth a shot?

[Summers]

Yeah I'm enjoying Wayward Pines but I'm confused as fuck so far.

Have the first two episodes and the first episode of Killjoys DVR'd, but we're too busy planning a short two-day trip to Virginia Beach to watch them. Heidi and I have quite a few shows backlogged right now.

Yeah I'm enjoying Wayward Pines but I'm confused as fuck so far.

Yes. It's quite strange. I'm so confused yet intrigued.

[Benji]

I adore that Adam West voices Thomas Wayne in Batman: The Brave and the Bold.

[C-MIL]

Yeah I'm enjoying Wayward Pines but I'm confused as fuck so far.

Yes. It's quite strange. I'm so confused yet intrigued.

I think I am going to try to binge-rewatch it before the new episode on Thursday.

[HC]

So the first episode of TD season 2 was pretty damn good. It helps that the negative reviews drove down my expectations. Obviously some won't be able to let go of Season 1 and let this stand on its own merit, but I'm intrigued and looking forward to next week.

[Baddar]

When does the next Wayward air in the UK? It's not on this Thursday because of the one week break in the US, so does that mean it'll air the Thursday after? I wasn't sure how long we were behind but I'm guessing it's been a week from the start.

[Benji]

25th.

[Baddar]

Oh, my Sky box was still "searching for next episode" in the series link last night so I assumed we were skipping another week.

[Benji]

Oh, I don't know then, I've not looked. Mind, sometimes the boxes take a while to figure things out. I'd search the planner but I'm not at home.

[Baddar]

It's the box being slow. Sky TV guide online has it scheduled for 9pm Thursday.

[livid]

Ballers was actually better than I thought it'd be. There's still a bit of that Entourage flavor but not nearly as much as I thought there would be.

[LL!]

I'll be checking out Ballers and the Jack Black show I can never remember the name of tonight.
