So did nobody watch the Netflix series HEMLOCK GROVE except me?

he is kind of an elongated River Phoenix

The fourth or so time I off handedly (so I thought) mentioned that I found Bill Skarsgard to be quite handsome, Jeff pointed out that I said that at some point during every episode and I felt like a dirty old woman.

In my defense, I think he's the most handsome when he's smoking and drinking like a grownup.

Oh ffs this is the second time in this thread I've mentioned Bill Skarsgard...

To counteract this I have to keep pointing out the fortune teller that is pants adverse.

Thus proving that Hemlock Grove is a great family show with something for everyone!

though Peter the werewolf looked a bit too much like one of the hobbits from LOTR for me to thoroughly accept how so many women had the hots for him, and he wasn't all that hirsute tbh

Ha yes. That is mentioned in that TV Guide Absurd moments from Hemlock Grove:

13. When everyone acted as though Peter being super hairy proved he was a werewolf, when he's practically bald from the neck down.

I guess by TV waxed chest standards he's practically a furry what with his facial scruff and 50-odd chest hairs.

Yeah that was a real denial of reality moment that happened again, and again, and again....

do any of you remember what the sheriff dude looked like shirtless from his BSG days?

It's the dude version of when they put glasses on a woman who meets or exceeds every contemporary beauty standard and call her "plain" or whatever. xp

OH yeah. Chief was my favorite.

like, i kept thinking -- wasn't Chief Sheriff at least as furry in the chest as our "hairy" wereboy

So frustrated this thread revive didn't signal that season 2 was up

This revive is signalling that season 2 will be up on July 11th!

And away we go!

this season is shit

i think i'm up to ep 5 and i'm just gonna stop now - the awful corny speech miranda gave peter and roman before taking them both to bed was just laaaaaaame

yeah it was pretty weak. the last couple of episodes are pretty fun though.

i am on ep 4 or 5. objectively this is completely corny but i can't stop looking at skarsgaard's face in it and i enjoy it much more than i do most "better" shows. it's a show that seems to enjoy being its corny self.

the first season was way ott but it was fun and kept me watching - now it's just corny and kinda boring

Actual line of dialogue uttered by Dr. Price in ep 5 to his Slavic underling: "THAT IS OF NO CONCERN OF YOURS!"

Dr. Price was probably the most fun character this season. I found myself sympathizing with him and his frustration with the incompetence and bumbling of everyone else while he tries to do all that heinous science stuff.

I can't honestly recommend people watch this all the way through, but I gotta say, the last hour was one of the most batshit crazy things I have ever seen.

Like, you feel like they just said "let's take what was already crazy in this series, and can we also throw in a monkey's head exploding, and a huge fucking dragon?"

only 6 episodes in but i'm enjoying this a ton

it is 'bad' in all the ways that i don't really care about given the premise of the show

Season 1 or Season 2?

season 1

will probably watch thru the whole thing over the next week or 2

I don't care if I'm all alone, I've now watched every episode of all three seasons of this gloriously messed up show

I haven't watched season 3 yet... where does it land compared to seasons 1 and 2?

It makes even less sense, to be honest, but it just throws a lot of crazy shit in the pot and stirs it all up and asks everybody to chew the scenery as much as possible. I enjoyed it.
