i started watching nurse jackie on netflix. also battle creek starring ryan o'reily aka dennis duffy aka dean winters. it's fun.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 6 January 2016 18:09 (eight years ago) link
it's an easy watch w/ some good actors, a few too many characters mimicking Fast Times at Ridgemont High or Caddyshack

Man Seeking Woman has gotten pretty funny. Best ep so far, as with last season, makes Liz (the sister) the main character.

Looking for recommendations re: Idiotsitter, Baskets, Horace and PeteExcited/Hopeful for: Full Frontal with Samantha Bee
― Mordy, Sunday, 7 February 2016 17:23 (eight years ago) link
Horace and Pete is really odd. More like a stab at 80s social-realist teleplays than anything current. Some really strong perfs (Alda, Wright, Falco) and some not so great ones (CK, quelle surprise), some interesting writing and some horribly didactic/clumsy stuff as well. Curious to see what happens with it but not bowled over.
Catching up on and digging The Expanse.
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Sunday, 7 February 2016 17:30 (eight years ago) link
NYT described Horace and Pete as the lost Eugene O'Neill written episode of Cheers which is not a terrible way to put it. It's not gripping me but Louis tends to have a 50/50 hit miss ratio and the hits justify the misses. I'll buy at least the first five episodes.
Idiotsitter is basically workaholics ethos, so if you dig that you'll dig this. Jillian Bell is hysterical, her delivery in the entire Channing Tatum episode was flawless. Charlotte Newhouse is really good!

Baskets is... messy. I don't know if I want to keep watching it? It has some strong redeeming points (primarily Martha Kelly who is a revelation and Louie Anderson as Zach's mom) but it's kind of a nothing show. Feels like it needs another season to get its footing.
― ulysses, Sunday, 7 February 2016 17:57 (eight years ago) link
the next two episodes of Baskets are written by this guy. I'm sufficiently intrigued to check 'em out.

War & Peace miniseries on Lifetime was pretty dope imo
― Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 9 February 2016 06:54 (eight years ago) link
The first episode of Horace and Pete was fine but definitely felt like something that had been filmed and released within a week. Several good performances as noted (took me almost no time at all to transition from 'Alan Alda as a cantankerous racist? Really?' to just totally buying his character). Louis needs to stop with the "I AM UNCOMFORTABLE" mugging. Buscemi seems oddly off.

anyone here watching the uk show Crashing? it is often funny and often quite emotionally devastating if the first 4 eps are anything to go by

Aching for Les Revenants season 2. I thought Netflix was streaming it as of Feb 1 but I guess its going to be available sometime between the 16th - 29th. poo. It has afforded me the opportunity to finally watch Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia from the start, though. I'm up to season 5 and just loving it. Charlie Day is some kind of wonderful genius.

― Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 16 March 2016 19:46 (eight years ago) link

― johnny crunch, Wednesday, 16 March 2016 20:44 (eight years ago) link
oh wow maybe i should start watching again
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Wednesday, 16 March 2016 20:45 (eight years ago) link
it's just sort of hard to care about it now ever since they jettisoned the emotional core of the show for zaniness (this was my general impression of season four, maybe that has changed)
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Wednesday, 16 March 2016 20:46 (eight years ago) link
they kinda shifted the emotions to schimdt and cece but yea they def toned down the zaniness from last season which i agree was a bad look
― johnny crunch, Wednesday, 16 March 2016 20:49 (eight years ago) link
Current favorites - Current topThe Magicians (liking it a lot, even read the Wikipedia book summaries to get an idea of future plots)The Walking Dead (unfortunately, being up on the trades, this Negan season half makes every episode a tense view)Last Week Tonight with John OliverFull Frontal with Samantha Bee Venture Brothers (and soon, Archer!)The FlashSleepy Hollow (enjoying it recently, after zoning out during much of last season)
All shows I look forward to seeing on the DVR vs. comfort shows (NCIS or Chopped) or invested but not 100% enjoying shows (Castle, Grimm).
