Re: New US shows Spring/Summer 2016
 

Watched one season of GoT, It's not that I don't like it, I just like it to get so far ahead I can pick it up and watch it at my own pace and never have to wait for more episodes. I've only just discovered the now finished Fringe and am doing exactly that with it. It also has me convinced that everything Abrams touches turns to gold.

You will be blown away very quickly, it is like having a blockbuster movie budget for a tv series. The produ tion quality is amazing. Tbh i wasnt too sure about the first few eps because they did a lot of dancing around between locations and characters but once you get settled in (i think it was ep 4 for me) you'll be hooked. You have no idea how lucky you are that you have got 5 seasons you can watch back to back.

Just finished Season #1 and it's OK

Typical HBO style show and as I hinted at before a mmorpg playing teenage nerds wet dream..

I'll stick with it and see if it gets to the heights of BE or TB

BE, TB ?

Boardwalk Empire and True Blood

Re: New US shows Spring/Summer 2016
 

exactly what I thought but I didn't say anything in case I looked stupid

I wouldn't have got Boardwalk Empire but I am annoyed I didn't get True Blood. I loved that series and especially Sookie and Jessica. As the guy who does Honest Trailers says "booooooooooobs"!

I've been watching a few things recently,

Legends of Tomorrow is cliched, not particularly great but fun in a childish sort of way.
Supergirl is, again, a little cliched, a bit flat in places but generally enjoyable.
Unfortunately, neither are as good as either The Flash or Arrow, which suggests to me that Greg Berlanti is stretching himself a little thin with 4 shows on air.

I've also been watching a show called "Dark Matter" on SyFy. Can't really make up my mind about it. It is very cliched. It's about several people (every one of which is a Science Fiction cliche), who wake up aboard a space ship, with no memory of who they are (again, cliched). There are a couple of things I like though. One is that any science they introduce to the story is at least plausible and the other is that they do try and introduce some light hearted moments for some of the characters. I actually like that, because it's something that actually does happen in life that is not usually reflected in modern Sci Fi. The trouble is, when they do it, the scenes are not well written. In fact, the series itself is not well written.

I'd usually give a new show 3 or 4 episodes. Because I like that they are trying to change things up a little (as noted above), I have been a little more forgiving for this show, and am currently up to episode 7. I'll give it to the end of the season (which is only ten episodes anyway), but unless it improves, it's coming off my "To Watch" list.

Re: New US shows Spring/Summer 2016
 

Although they are trying to expand the DC universe I think they are trying to cater for as many audiences as possible to keep the ratings up. I think Arrow and Flash are the more serious series (like the Dark Knight trilogy) and appeals to adults. Supergirl is all about female empowerment and appeals to young teens girls and LoT (:sick:) is all light hearted and action packed for 8-12 year old boys. If they made them all the same with the same serious tone like Arrow then I am sure we would be sitting here saying we haven't got time for 4 series and we would only watch our favourite 2


I felt the same and watched it all the way through just because it was nice to have a spacey scifi series and also because I wanted to see where they were taking it. I gave it the benefit of doubt because the dude who made SG1 makes it. I think i'll keep watching it but it is something I can take or leave and isn't something I would watch immediately every week like GoT, TWD, Greys etc.

Oh thank gawd.. Someone killed Joffrey...

Upto S4 just starting E3

Re: New US shows Spring/Summer 2016
 

lol, I knew you would get hooked once you got into it. You are ploughing through them quite nicely. I haven't read the books so everything is always new to me and I didn't know Joffrey was going to die. I have got to say it was the most satisfying moment of the series for me and makes up for the red wedding. With all the bad things that had happened I thought "finally, Rob is going to get his army across the river, team up with Arya and get Sansa get and finally kick some ass". I had a genuine Darth Vader moment when everything went tits up. I loved Rob's gf and literally sat up in bed (I was lying down) and shouted "nooooooooo".
