I'm just constantly amazed when people go "[dude x] is attractive" and I have to reconfigure my whole idea of male beauty. I mean, c'mon, Chiklis!

u should relax your fascist beauty standards imo

I think you're right, actually. That's sort of what I'm saying!

i started watching the first season of The Shield recently and i'm really having a hard time giving a good goddamn about anything that happens in it, like my eyes practically roll into the back of my head with indifference.

it gets better. the very end of season 1, stuff starts to kick into high gear. it's wildly implausible and kind of sensationalistic but i don't know, i'm totally hooked now.
― horseshoe, Tuesday, 10 August 2010 04:01 (fourteen years ago) link
wildly implausible - just wait until you get to the "blackmail box" sequence..
― Pillbox, Tuesday, 10 August 2010 04:07 (fourteen years ago) link
Terriers has had an OK start. It seems like they're going for a slow build, like Justified. Logue's no Olyphant, but he and that guy from True Blood are amusing enough, and there's an interesting darkness just underneath the skin of those characters. I'll probably give it a few more weeks at least, it may have potential.

it's like Veronica Mars with (more) grownups! the one-liners aren't quite there yet but the tone is nice. the relationship btwn Logue and his ex-wife is really well-done too.

not an hourlong drama, but "the league" makes me want to punch everyone involved repeatedly
― J0rdan S., Friday, 17 September 2010 02:36 (fourteen years ago) link
"the league" is to fantasy football what "nick & norah's infinite playlist" was to indie rock
looks pretty good.
I'm enjoying Terriers. Some good character stuff. Not great but watchable.
― a cankle of rads (Gukbe), Friday, 17 September 2010 02:38 (fourteen years ago) link
wait, meant that The League looks pretty bad.
I would have voted for the Shield, but damn SoA is pretty good, if only for Hunman and Sagal (sp for both?). Kurt Sutter co-wrote on the Shield, didn't he? I wouldn't say that SoA is as good as the Shield, but it's pretty fucking good. I mean ffs it has Henry Rollins in season 2! I was so happy I screamed. lolol
― Nathalie (stevienixed), Tuesday, 19 October 2010 14:27 (thirteen years ago) link
Justified is back in February! Still no word on a Terriers renewal, though. Btwn those, the League, It's Always Sunny and SoA these guys are killing it right now.
― Simon H., Tuesday, 19 October 2010 16:58 (thirteen years ago) link
so happy about justified. SOA is my fav show on air right now. But enough with the nude Hunnam.

so there's no way Lights Out will be any good, is there? do we need a The Walking Dead-style series length string of boxing movie cliches?
― some dude, Wednesday, 17 November 2010 04:06 (thirteen years ago) link
last Terriers ep was fantastic
― Mordy, Wednesday, 17 November 2010 04:09 (thirteen years ago) link
Tonight's Terriers ep. wz great too. Any word on its cancellation yet?
― Quesadilla Road Trip 2010 (Drugs A. Money), Thursday, 18 November 2010 04:24 (thirteen years ago) link
no, but the feeling is that it is imminent.
― Gukbe, Thursday, 18 November 2010 04:24 (thirteen years ago) link
obviously it won't happen until after the finale though.
'lights out' kinda interests me, holt mcallany has always been a good actor.
― omar little, Monday, 3 January 2011 17:13 (thirteen years ago) link
TV critic I follow on twitter watched the first season and said it has some problems but was enjoyable. I don't really trust that critic though.
― Gukbe, Monday, 3 January 2011 17:20 (thirteen years ago) link
you should probably stop following them on twitter
― omar little, Monday, 3 January 2011 17:20 (thirteen years ago) link
i like to see a wide range of perspectives.
― Gukbe, Monday, 3 January 2011 17:21 (thirteen years ago) link
per my post upthread, the ads for Lights Out are so unappealing to me (and are SO LONG and appear in EVERY ad break every time i've watched any other FX show on demand the past few months) that i'm kind of predisposed to hating it, but i also feel like the network's quality control lately has been high enough that i'll at least give the first couple episodes a chance.

― Gukbe, Saturday, 8 January 2011 20:42 (thirteen years ago) link
i'll give it a shot, but i was also foolish enough to hang onto Rescue Me for a couple of seasons. no Terriers or Sons of Anarchy on the air so I guess I'll give this a couple of weeks
― Nhex, Saturday, 8 January 2011 22:37 (thirteen years ago) link
Jordan could not be more wrong about The League

the League has gotten better than i ever thought it could be but it's still square in the middle of aightville

oh man, we need to redo this poll with all the hourlong dramas that have been added
kind of thinking the later season would result in Sons of Anarchy dropping down the list a lot
― mh, Friday, 2 February 2018 15:17 (six years ago) link
(Justified ranking below Sons of Anarchy is just some bullshit)
I gather that that's because Justified was still brand new when the poll was run, otherwise lol.
― Ochs Out The Cage (Old Lunch), Friday, 2 February 2018 15:36 (six years ago) link
Sons of Anarchy got really bad much sooner than I remembered - in my mind there was a season and a half of wacky biker hijinks before they killed Opie's wife.
― louise ck (milo z), Tuesday, 16 October 2018 00:49 (five years ago) link
Sons of Anarchy and Damages, both of them I remember from how early we pulled the plug, thinking it was way too ridiculous. Like, in both cases, maybe season 2? The Shield and Justified both perfect.

Sons got waaay stupider than humankind could conceive and I am proud to say I watched every stupid minute of iti have no life :D

Yeah Justified is so good. Except that Michael Rappaport season :/

Season is fine despite him.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 16 October 2018 02:27 (five years ago) link
It's really not. It was so grim and joyless, I think maybe a side effect of Leonard's passing just before (or maybe in the early stages of) production.

Thrilled to announce that all 13 episodes of #Terriers will be part of the inaugural #FXonHulu lineup starting tomorrow 3/2 on @Hulu.

I found Donal Logue 100% annoying in everything but weirdly adorable in Terriers. The Olyphant-looking partner is great too. It’s very difficult to play a convincing idiot.
