Season 2 of the Expanse premiered tonight. Really well done science fiction. Loved season 1 but didn't think it was going to get renewed. Check it out. http://www.theverge.com/2017/2/1/14...syfy-relevant-science-fiction-show-television
I started quoting Ron Swanson so much my friends and family just about disowned me. But an extreme libertarian with a hatred of government, all things vegetarian and a love of jazz?? I mean it's not that far a stretch! Favorite Ron Swanson Quote..... "You know how sometimes you eat chicken and you get food poisoning. And then even the sight of chicken makes you sick.... Tammy One is my blond chicken."
There is so much Ron Swanson genius to choose from. Like the first time he saw Lil Sebastian in person. Omg All the scenes with Tammy 2... His will he wrote at age 8. Fuck!
I have been watching Deadwood as well. The first episode was hard to get into - but after that - it is really good.
Gary: Tank Commander - on Netflix. Put on the closed captions because it is in Scottish and you need them. Funniest TV show out there.
I wrote about this in the Action Movie thread, but I thought I'd mention it here in the more appropriate-subject thread. I would like to suggest a brilliant adaptation of the story "Oliver Twist", which aired on BBC One in 2007 (aired in the US in 2009). Directed by Coky Giedroyc. It is one of THE greatest things on screen that I have ever seen in my life; movie or television. Ever. Absolutely BRILLIANT acting all around in that show. Tom Hardy played a brilliant psychopath with a violent temper in his role as Bill Sykes. He used his past as a drug addict and alcoholic to form the character, and he was utterly stunning. I'm fucking serious...his character was downright terrifying. Another stand-out performance in this film was actor Julian Rhind-Tutt as "Edward/Monks". Wanna talk about a scumbag character....he nailed it perfectly. Anyways...if anyone wants to see it, it can be seen here: http://www.watchfree.to/tv-29ffca-Oliver-Twist-tv-show-online-free-putlocker.html/season-1-episode-1 I'm not sure if that is one of two parts....when it aired here in the States, it was a two-part series, IIRC. However, that episode is listed there as 2 hours and 53 minutes, so that's probably the entire show. This is well worth watching. Enjoy.
Just started watching season 1 of "Master of None." Really good, plowed thru 7 episodes yesterday. Netflix keeps showing that Season 2 just came out, so it got me started.
I'm pretty upset Making History was canceled on Fox. Leighton Meester is a total babe. Show premise was pretty great too.
You told me to give it a shot, and I did. Watched two episodes and just couldn't get into it. Anybody check out the show "Genius" on NatGeo yet? There's only been 4 episodes, but I find it interesting.
Mindhunter season 2 is dope. Just finished the last episode. Definitely one of my favorite current shows. Netflix better give me a season 3!
I have tried and tried and tried to get into Parks and Rec, but to me it's one of the most boring shows I've ever watched. I never laughed. On the flipside, the Office is one of the funniest shows ever. And it's got the same "style"..
Derry Girls on Netflix is very good. It is not even, but the first episode in season 1 and the first episode in season 2 (as far as we got so far) are hilarious. Watch with subtitles if you do not speak Irish
It doesn't start getting good until the end of season 2, that's probably the worst part it starts off very slowly. Their are quite a few things in season one especially that get ret-conned later on. For the longest time my friends would try to get me into Parks and Rec and I couldn't get into it either. Arrested Developement though is amazing.
