Your Ten Favorite Shows Currently on Television

god, aziz ansari has somehow become an even less expressive actor since s1 of Master of None

Anyone watch I Love Dick? I enjoyed it but am not familiar with the book so cannot really comment on how it differs.

REALLY liked the first five episodes or so and then as soon as they get to the aftermath of her posting the REDACTED all over town, the show fell apart for me. All the hotel room stuff and last episode malarkey was a huge let down.

Shotgunning season 1 of Bosch - forgot how much of a sucker I am for well-made straight-up detective shows that use LA well.

it's shot so beautifully

Yeah, it's a really good show. I've only read four of the books, but the TV version of Bosch is a much more appealing character. The book version is a prick.

I watched a good chunk of S1 - I liked the pacing and the characters but the main plot bummed me out w/ its familiarity

I've only seen one ep of Bosch but damn, I want to live wherever that canal-surrounded pretty burg was!

Season 2 of Bosch is even better.

Just finished Season 3 which (for me anyway) was not quite on a par with Season 2 but was still very good.

All 3 are good but 2 was the best, yeah. Classic California noir vibe.

never even heard of that show, sounds like it would be up my alley

I love the books, can't get into the TV show :/

Update: ended up steamrolling right into season 2 and am several episodes in. Love it. I haven't read any of the books (yet?)

The books are pretty decent and nice that there's a long story arc that runs all the way through them (which means they do need to be read in chronological order)

i'm dying up here - only pilot so far but v good imo
future diary - morbid anime for fans of deadman wonderland

o rly

btw the new season of Attack on Titan is bleak as fuck

i thought of u when i was watching it tbh - worth checking out imo

Enjoying "Nirvanna The Band", a mockumentary/sitcom that involves two best friends who are trying to get a gig for their band

Watched the first 4 episodes of Love last night.
It's quite more-ish.

I burned through the first 4 episodes of Legion this weekend because they had been bumped from my DVR and I wanted to catch them before they disappeared.

holy shit

:D

glad to have you with us on the Legion bus

I loved the pilot but never got around to watching the rest due to life etc, then jjj told me in a passing convo "hey did you know Legion is getting removed from streaming services this month" and I had my mission

I love LOVE but I feel like her character's dialogue was was lifted from the Big Brother 1. Gus is pretty great at diffusing it though.

I keep meaning the start a thread where I live blog BB1. What a pretentious bunch of assholes we all were.

Starting Brockmire, first minutes are encouraging.

Legion is on Hulu now. I'm...considering it, though I'm worried it's just gonna wind up being more superhero shit, arted up a little.

I don't really like Legion but it's definitely not that

The pilot is worth seeing, at least (as are the next three episodes; haven't made the leap to the rest of it yet)

oh my god this new season of Decker is incredible already

The pilot is worth seeing, at least (as are the next three episodes; haven't made the leap to the rest of it yet)

If you stop there you're missing out on two of the best episodes of television in recent years

Yeah, it's a really good show. I've only read four of the books, but the TV version of Bosch is a much more appealing character. The book version is a prick.

Book version is less of a prick than tv version. The tv version is way more speechifying and sanctimonious. Each season basically combines parts of 3 different books, though they've been emphasizing the mom angle more in the show than it comes up in the books. It is a bit odd seeing Marlo Stanfield playing the LA version of Bunk Moreland, which makes me wonder if that characterization is a bit based on the J. Edgar character from the books ...

like some variant of J Edgar in books ---> Wendell Pierce's portrayal of Bunk Moreland ---> Marlo's portrayal of J Edgar

I don't know why but I've always imagined Bosch as Jon Polito in Homicide.

I tried the Legion pilot. I lasted 13 minutes.

Currently watching Fortitude Season 1 on Amazon. It looks fantastic (it's shot in Iceland, I think), but they're introducing a different suspect in the central murder every episode (I'm four deep now) and it's getting a little old.

fuuuuuck S3 of bureau des légendes is on RIGHT NOW:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZBj8UiMxN0

and i live in FRANCE yet i cannot watch it why cause canal+

s1 and 2 are all-time preposterously entertaining spy TV

haaaa i watched 8 episodes of s3 in two evenings, only two left. it is still v entertaining spy tv. this is basically the only show that all my friends watch.

not subscribing to c+ just for this

i am hoping for a quick DVD release basically :(

not gonna lie i may have been getting it through illegal means

i won't lie i looked! but came up empty at my usual places

french tv shows rarely show up online in the usual spots tbh, it's annoying. i had friends put it on a hard drive for me but i can give you the torrent website they used if you're interested (t411)

finally started s3 of Fargo; it's great. wish i had been watching this instead of the extended empty fart that The Americans became.

Brockmire and The Girlfriend Experience have turned out to be great. (The latter is much less softcore-porny than you'd expect from Starz, I promise.)

both are great, yeah.

I will take any chance I can to rave about The Girlfriend Experience. I'm excited for s2.

Is there particular seasons of Fargo that are worth watching? Started season 1 and it wasn't doing it for me

imo not really

if u dont like s1 youre prob not gonna like any of it

yup

Eh, that's not true. I vastly preferred s2 to s1. Still haven't started s3 tho.

You can prefer one to the other but the style of the show is the same throughout.
