Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
South of hell was shown back to back in the USA last night.... Looks like I have the ideal TV session for my birthday tomorrow.

It's meant to be awful

Quote:
It takes neither a TV critic nor a fortune teller to read the tea leaves on WEtv's South of Hell. If you're a network with minimal experience in the scripted space and you give a splashy straight-to-series order for a supernatural horror drama from a prolific genre producer (Jason Blum), an established genre director (Eli Roth) with a recognizable star (Mena Suvari), deciding to release all of the series at once — trimmed to only seven episodes — on the day after Thanksgiving counts as a vote of minimal confidence.
Based on two episodes, it's easy to see why WEtv had no particular clue what to do with South of Hell. Whatever WEtv's brand is, this isn't it, nor is it likely to open the network up to a future niche. It isn't scary. It looks comically cheap at times. The performances range from inconsistent to fairly awful. And unless the Emmys open up a category for Outstanding Use of Multi-Colored Contact Lenses, it's unlikely to get any real respect.
But as a representative of a subgenre already prone to overflowing hokum draped in Spanish moss, smothered in grits and delivered with Southern accents learned from a Hooked on Keanu Reeves tape series, South of Hell at least gets credit for some so-bad-it's-funny silliness to go with a premise which really could have been shaped into something better...

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
That's a shame. I've downloaded the first 3 episodes cause I liked the sound of it.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
Plus they only showed 7 episodes, you have to buy it on iTunes instead if you want to see the 8th. Apparently you can't even buy the single episode you have to pay $15 for the season pass to get it.

No, i mean iTunes. As far as i can see no one has bothered to rip that particular episode to usenet or torrents
Halfway through Man in the High Castle myself. It seems pretty obvious where it's headed and it's a bit slow but i'm still enjoying it.

Sadly this was my impression as well, I enjoyed the first episode, but by the time I got to the forth, I found it slow going. In the end I skipped two or three, and watched the finale last night.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
Lucifer has finally started reshowing the pilot as episode 1, must admit to watching the ep again and again enjoyed it.. just the right style of sadistic humour for me
