Noooooo. Netflix removed Justified without warning

[Ant]

Fox have just announced they are having/been having discussions about being X Files back with Duchovny and Anderson

This is my favourite show ever. Seriously having a nerdgasm

[Ant]

Oh and also B99 has been renewed along with Empire (which is said to be fantastic)

And Gotham but im not sure if that was already renewed

[apsham]

I tried to watch Broad City last night and just ended up becoming amazingly annoyed with the main characters in a major way.

Hannibal season three was just pushed to summer. At least it gives me more time to rewatch the first two seasons.

[GhostMachine]

The Blacklist

[Benji]

Found out that Justified is also on Sky box sets at the moment. Yay! Spoiler for season three start of episode five...

I really hope Dewey gets something good happen to him soon. Poor guy gets the worst of it. Getting your freaking kidney stolen is awful

[Lint]

Anyone else catch the premier of 12 Monkeys on SyFy friday night?

[Jimmy]

Really enjoying Transparent, even if things have a tendency to move a bit too fast. Jeffrey Tambor is incredible and Bradley Whitford has just turned up in a minor role which is predictably great.

[Benji]

Justified season three complete...

Kind of a weak season to be honest. It had some good parts (particularly the fact it featured far less of the cliché annoying girlfriend that is Winona), but it just felt like a bit of a clusterfuck to be honest. Too many groups trying to do too much and too little pay off for it. The killing of officer Tom just felt so cheap as a death (even down to the fact he mentioned his kid's baseball game, seriously), and the fact Quarles'(sp?) random sodomy thing never went anywhere as a plotline just made it feel like they were out for cheap shocks.

Yeah, I've only watched two episodes so far, but from what I've seen it's both hilarious and has tremendous characters. I really need to go back and finish it.

[Benji]

Watched the first episode of Luther last night. It was okay, but it felt like it was trying way too hard to be gritty rather than feeling natural, and all the cop cliché's (separated from spouse, kooky likeable partner, boss who is on the guys side but sees him as a loose cannon) just kind of turned me off. Shall I abandon ship now, or does it change?

[Jimmy]

Oh, keep with it. If nothing else, Idris Elba and Ruth Wilson are both fantastic throughout. You kind of have to go along with some of the stories; I mean, there's basically a new serial killer in London every week, but I found it completely absorbing and well worth watching.

[Benji]

I loved Idris Elba, but Ruth Wilson has kind of one of the biggest "eh" parts for me to be honest, she was almost cartoonish in her villainy. Does she tone that down a bit?

[Jimmy]

Yes and no. Her character can be theatrical, but she also becomes a lot more real in the process.

[Colly]

Is Extant any good? Starts on Syfy UK tonight.

[Berober]

Anyone else seen any of the Amazon Pilots?

I watched The Man in the High Castle, never read the book, and it was actually really cool. I want to say it was really good, but I keep forgetting the title and that's not a great sign, but I'd definitely be up for more episodes of this!

Ended up watching Table 58 from the Kids show batch because it looked similar to Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide, one of the best kids shows in existence, and again, enjoyed that one but based off how it ends, it seems a bit more serial than I thought it'd be, so if it got picked up I'd have to watch a bit more before I'd know if it's worth continuing.

[TCO]

Wait The Man in the High Castle is a TV show? I read that book years ago and loved it.

I need to get on that!
