The TV Series discussion thread

I'm watching TOS series on Netflix. Man I had forgotten how attractive the women were on that program. Must not watch when my wife is around.

Interstellar. Hmmm. Too few good SciFi movies with high production values. Liked it, always hard when tackling string theory and the likes.

I also experienced h265. Awesome quality with a low file size. Netflix should use it for 1080p material asap

We really enjoyed the Leftovers, it helps that they seem to have a stellar cast involved. Of course, doesn't hurt that it is HBO.

Unsettling and depressing with a storyline that you can't help but be intrigued by. A strong cast that showcase their abilities from the outset.

Anyone watching Outlander on Starz? That show is like porn for women. I have to keep my wife away from me after she watches it. :)

Not me, I was interested before it started when I saw it's something about time travel, but then they put on it the genre:
drama

I bet it's a soap opera like they did with that pirate series they're running and I refused to continue watching after season 1.

So no, thank you. I'm waiting for Evil Dead series that should start later this year on Starz, DaVinci Demons next season and for Torchwood 5 if it ever comes.

Just finished season 3 of House of Cards. Pretty cool, but somehow not as cool as season 2. Spacey is great, as always, but just the whole plot-line wasn't as interesting. I'm curious where they're taking it next. Are they running with the election story-line?

I agree. Can't put my finger on it exactly, but it wasn't as good as previous seasons. Part of the problem for me is binge watching seasons 1 & 2, then having a long break before season 3 such that I had forgotten what happened to Doug Stamper in season 2 or even why. This was a key concept for #3 unfortunately.

I don't have high expectations for the second season based on the cast compared to the first season. I'll still check it out though because I assume it's the same writers.

It's the same writer, yep.

I quite like the cast. Some unusual choices, which can be a great way to get something powerful out of actors not often associated with such roles.

In fact, I used to think of both the protagonists in the first season as somewhat weak-sauce one-trick-pony actors. Boy, have they proved me wrong over the last decade :)
 
They definitely seem able to bring out things in people we hadn't seen before.

Anyone that can make Rachel McAdams look ugly has some serious ability. ;)

Ugly? You have high standards :)

She looks like a Hollywood actress without her make-up to me.

I actively avoided McConnehay (sp) until True Detective. That was a great cast and I have no doubt this one will be too. Kind of the same scenario for season two because I don't care for Colin Ferrel either. Can't wait.

In the meantime Daredevil & Game of Thrones this weekend.

It's forbidden to post anything that doesn't have "Game of Thrones" in the text until Monday, as far as I know there is nothing else happening in any TV station. Is there a Superbowl this Saturday? I don't know and I don't care! Is there the final match of the World Cup? I don't know and I don't care! Is there a news report that a Vulcan ship landed and welcomed us to the United Federation of Planets? I don't know and I don't care!
