General Television Thread

Happy Valley and The Night Manager have both been outstanding so far, it feels like a real dawn for British Television at the moment. I watched a show called Doctor Thorne on Sunday, which was alright and finding its feet, but was incredibly surprised to find out it stars Alison Brie. There's a few more exciting shows I need to catch up on, and a few that have just come out, but this is definitely positive for our industry.

I'm on episode six of Mr Robot but it feels like it's largely fallen apart. I'm forcing myself through it, but none of the promise of the pilot really feels like it's been fulfilled. Hopefully the end stretch picks back up, especially since Craig Robinson just got cast in season two and I love me some Craig Robinson.

from my experience, I thought it started well and then started getting super-messy midway through and then in the last three or four episodes got its shit together.

First one is 40 minutes! 

That's only another 10 mins!

Also, Love is great!

So House Of Cards Season 4 has been released by Netflix. So far I've watched the first 4 episodes and I already like it much more than Season 3.

Watching Love after hearing g a lot of praise. Four episodes in I'm enjoying it.

Jesus, American Crime Story is really fucking phenomenal. Honestly wondering if with Mad Men and Parks and Rec gone, Fargo not back until next year, and Game of Thrones declining it's going to end up being my #1 show at the end of the year.

"Marcia, Marcia, Marcia" really was the best episode of the show so far.

Yeah, episode seven picked up a lot, then episode eight smacked me in the face.

Has anyone watched American Crime? Not American Crime Story, the other one  

I gave the second season a shot and holy shit is it the most depressing thing ever. Enjoyable though, with some awesome acting.

[Benji]

No but I want to cause Felicity Huffman is a personal favourite.

[LL!]

So the trailer for Vice Principals was released, but I can't find it on YouTube, only a Facebook video.

Hope that works for everyone. Danny McBride vs Walton Goggins. Oh my!

She had one particular showcase episode in which I found her outstanding. Having finished season two, though, I will just say that this was harrowing stuff and I need to go play with some puppies now.

First episode of Horace & Pete was great. So different from anything I've seen before. There were parts that were incredibly uncomfortable to watch though. 

Edie Falco was amazing.

Saw this earlier today and the fact it's McBride and Goggins has me giddy.

Quite enjoying American Crime Story. Is it going to be set in different time periods? And its been a while since I've seen Travolta in something good.

[Benji]

Next one is New Orleans after Catrina. Not really sure how that'll work.

[MDK]

Who will play Katrina?

[apsham]

Whelp. I know of one particular newsworthy blowhard who doesn't have a high opinion of minorities and culture different from his own.

They'll film her giving the flood walls the Lick of Death and it'll all escalate from there.

Renewal news: The CW has renewed basically everything. Everything. All the superhero shows, iZombie, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (the situation is a bit more nuanced than that!), Supernatural for season eight billion, all of it.
