Re: What are you currently watching on TV?
Knowing the seasons are only five episodes might push me to actually give this a shot.

Technically, S2 is 6 episodes.LoathedVermin72 wrote:Knowing the seasons are only five episodes might push me to actually give this a shot.
It's a great show, Verm. Give it a shot. It's a slow burn but it's taught. And Gillian is great. And it explores some really dark corners and important issues without being too obvious about it all. This isn't a show that beats you over the head. There might not even be a single line of dialogue in the first 15 minutes of the pilot.
Actually, what you were talking about in Macbeth thread a while back is on stellar display here. There's A TON of actors just thinking and the creator letting you watch them think without telling you what's in their head.
Some of the more violent scenes were really hard for me to watch, too. You probably won't have that problem, but some of the images stuck with me and made it hard to sleep.

I really hope you like it. I was blown away. While I don't expect you to have the exact same experience, I think you'll find a lot to latch onto in it.LoathedVermin72 wrote:Yep, you sold me.
Give it the first two episodes, though. It snagged me from the go, but if it doesn't grab you like that, give it two full episodes.

Like DcT said, its exceptionally violent and graphic in some scenes. Its hung in my mind hours after watching too.

Re: What are you currently watching on TV?
Yeah, it's pretty good. Rob Lowe is pretty much doing a slightly toned down version of his character from Parks & Rec, which is a good thing.tommymtcom wrote:I watched the first three episodes of the grinder yesterday. It was surprisingly very funny. I'm definitely in for the season.
More surprisingly, the show before it, Grandfathered, isn't horrible.

Re: What are you currently watching on TV?
Stupid question; is there any site on the interwebz that deals with cancelled tv shows, specifically what the plans were from the writers had the show moved forward? There are some shows that really left me hanging, and the Terra Nova talk in that other thread got me thinking about this.
I know I could utilize Google, but just thought I'd ask in case anyone knew of anything...

Re: What are you currently watching on TV?
Yeah, I tried googling but come up with just random tv news sites. I did just google "Season 2 plans for Terra Nova" and got an interview with one of the writers where he detailed what they would do next. That was cool, but now I need to find the same for the following shows:durdencommatyler wrote:I've never found a site like this, but I'd LOVE to take a look at one if it exists.E.H.

Re: What are you currently watching on TV?
Of course, I have no idea how similar the show and the book ever were. But I remember wanted to read the book. I should find a copy.E.H. Ruddock wrote:oh yeah.
