Watched Making a Murderer yesterday. Thoroughly infuriating viewing.

Its crazy how many twists this case has.  I've annexed the Serial thread for discussion on it, since Season 2 of Serial is a disappointment thus far.

I can't decide whether I prefer Jessica Jones over Daredevil, but both shows are fantastic either way. Only on episode 9 of JJ so far though.

[Benji]

Tripped is a pleasantly entertaining show. Decent way to waste three hours if anyone's looking for that.

Showtime has put the pilot of "Billions" online.

My God...a show with Paul Giamatti and Damian Lewis as rivals, amazing. They have a scene at the end that is reminiscent of Carrie vs. Brody, in a good way.

[Blue Rosler]

Does Fresh Off The Boat get any better? Two eps into series one and it's just so bland.

Shame, I would watch the two of them fucking.

Who is top and who is bottom?

Yes. Most of season 1 is amazing because Constance Wu, and then it gets better overall in season 2.

[MalaCloudy Black]

I felt like season 1 was good, but it got better when they dropped Eddie Huang as the narrator. The first really great episode in season 1 is episode 4 ("Success Perm") and that's where it hits its stride, imo.

[Benji]

Insert Name Here is a disappointment. Buzzcocks gets cancelled and this guff gets commissioned. Lame.

[Benji]

Interesting highlights from an interview with HBO President Michael Lombardo, including his failings over True Detective and equal opportunity nudity.

[MalaCloudy Black]

Am I blind? What happened to the Brooklyn Nine-Nine thread? Does it have some esoteric name that I'm not looking for?

Either way: Dancing over. Situation defused.

[Benji]

Slipped to page three.

[MalaCloudy Black]

Sweet, turns out I'm just blind.

Also, January 14th, a Rick & Morty mobile game comes out for iOS and Android devices. It's called Pocket Mortys, it's free, and the idea is that you play as a version of Rick travelling around other universes collecting Mortys, and battling your Mortys against other peoples'.

Veronica Mars star Enrico Colantoni to recur on iZombie.

Comedy Central Renews 'Broad City' for Season 4 and 5; Orders Pot Comedy.

‘Gravity Falls’ Creator Alex Hirsch Developing Animated Series at Fox.

The Beast Will Rise! First Damien Trailer Released.

Westworld! Preacher! FUCKING VINYL!!!

 

 

[Ruki]

I need West World so bad.

[Benji]

The pilot of iZombie is not doing it for me at all. When does it start picking so I know what to expect?

[Katsuya]

Okay, seriously, Atelier may be my new favourite show. It's like a Japanese telenovela. The characters all switch their feelings on a dime, it's just throwing random things at you and the main character is like she got ripped out of an anime. It's gripping and hilarious and I love it.

Hopefully there's a second season and Netflix pick up more Japanese shows too.
