Just got to the King Piccolo Saga in Dragon Ball. I forgot how bloody miserable parts of this show get at times. Fun loving Goku and pals fighting slightly funny enemies and having fun > super serious demon kings killing peeps.

Has anyone watched Killjoys? Looks like some sort of space travelling show?

[apsham]

I can't believe I never even HEARD about Wet Hot American Summer before. Going through the movie now so I can get to the show, loving it.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

I've just seen that the Gotham series has gone up on Netflix, did it turn out to be worth watching? I saw the pilot and kinda forgot it ever existed after that for a variety of reasons, so never watched any more.

Wow people weren't kidding when they said Mr. Robot was fantastic were they? Started to catch up last night and can't wait to get home and finish the rest that are backlogged on my DVR.

It started out very average but got much better after the fall break. It's just a matter of whether you want to wade through the average stuff to get to the good stuff.

The latest Hannibal Episode:

Spoiler

What was the point of Bedelia Du Maurier being in this episode? Why did they have to bring her back? All of her scenes had no purpose whatsoever and I don't see how her character is important to the Toothfairy story.

May want to spoiler that.

I've not watched the episode, but I'm just glad the quality has gone back up with the previous three episodes, because that first part of the season was a fucking chore.

Season 3 of "Orange is the New Black" just completely fell off the rails at the end. There's still good stuff in there but they are just trying to do too much with too many people. We are also just about at "the meaning of Jack's tattoos" with the flashbacks.

Yes, overall it's way better than the first half of the series. I'd say it is on the same level of quality of the first 2 seasons. I was really just nitpicking here because I can't stand that character and I don't see why she is still part of the story.

Nice little Jon Stewart thank you at the start of Last Week Tonight.

The sex ed bit was brilliant, appalling and hilarious in equal measures. America is crazy.

[Benji]

Watching Last Man on Earth. Delighted Kristen Schaal has a regular gig, really disappointed that it's as an generic nagging TV housewife. Show's decent enough though.

[Benjamin]

That show makes me so mad, because it's got some absolutely wonderful stuff, but some stuff that is just so bland and boring, especially for a comedy apocalypse series.

[livid]

Still disappointed that Giamatti's Hoke series on FX didn't get greenlit but this looks like it could be good. Or really bad. Basically, a Showtime show.

[livid]

In an interesting, albeit odd, piece of news, Sesame Street is headed to HBO.

Makes sense when you think about HBO needing to diversify and beef up their content library to compete with Netflix and Amazon with HBO Go/Now. 

[MalaCloudy Black]

It's also being cut down to 30 minutes.

Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is the latest 90s sitcom to be rebooted.

Who the fuck is asking for this shit?
