The really great TV thread

Definitely will DVR the Daly 30 for 30. He is definitely an entertaining character to say the least!

An update on The Exorcist. It was off last week due to the World Series, but it was a great time to take a moment to catch your breath. The first 5 weeks turned out to be a fantastic story arc that just introduces us to the real story, and it is totally worth watching, even if the show goes off a cliff from here on out.

I'd say having seen the film or read the book makes it a better experience, as it draws, not just the story, but many of the same themes with similar story beats. But this is a new story, set in today, with the events of the first film referenced in a newspaper article the priest sees as he is doing research. The story works if you haven't seen the original, though. And being set in Chicago, it kind of explains the Cubs win last night. Not really.

The show works, at least over these first five episodes, because this is not the same scares each week. This is a progression of possession, and the story takes a lot of turns, some I sure they will get back to. It also creates one of the best representations of how a demon takes hold from the point of view of the possessed. That was a risk, but it pays off.

FOX has all the episodes online if you want to catch up, and I think FX is airing past episodes now, too. I used the FOX Now app on the XB1 to rewatch a past episode. It airs on Friday nights, so FOX is doing their normal thing, burying a good show on Fridays. Definitely worth checking out.

Very much enjoyed the episode.

Just watched episode 1 of the final season of Rectify last week. A slow burn, but a damn good show.

My wife and I enjoyed the eight episodes of SIX that concluded last night.

After Justified, we're keen to check out anything Walton Goggins does and he didn't disappoint in this series. Apparently renewed for a second season, I thought the series did a good job of contrasting the lives of soldiers at home and abroad. Good action, pretty tight writing, and good performances throughout the cast, I thought.

Goggins is also great with a comic role in Vice Principals.

Fargo Season 3 debuts on April 19th! Love this show.

I'm watching 13 Reasons Why on Netflix. Not the best show I've ever watched, but it's entertaining, if not a little morbid.

Better Call Saul season 3 started this past Monday and it was just great TV! Gus Fring making an appearance in week 2 I believe! Love this show and Gilligan has said it's going a bit darker this season!

[Aristo]

+Between Better Call Saul, Fargo, and American Gods, this is some of the best TV ever produced, all running at the same time. So much TV goodness.

Two episodes in, and American Gods has already sailed off into psilocybin madness, as we prep for a massive war of the Gods. Orlando Jones introduction as Anansi was intense as hell. Gillian Anderson's Media was as surreal as f***. But Peter Stormare's Czernobog was as menacing and brutal as any character on TV. And we get Ian McShane's Mr. Wednesday to guide us on this tour of old and new gods, who you know is up to no good, but you just can't help but to follow him.









Definitely worth finding away to get Stars to check this out. Especially if you liked Bryan Fuller's earlier work on Hannibal, Pushing daisies, and Dead Like Me.

I'm back on the hype train of Better Call Saul. Season 2 has been great so far.

Looking forward to checking out the second season documentary of Last Chance U. The first season was excellent.

Ozark looks like it was made for me. Hope it delivers. Here a quick synopsis.

There life of a cord cutter, I suppose.

Jason Bateman's new Netflix original series "Ozark" is now up. Started watching Friday and will wrap all 10 episodes up today. He's laundering money for the cartel and he moved to Missourah to do it!
By the way....it's dark, disturbing and addicting and it's one of the best shows i've seen in sometime.

[wco81]

Speaking of Bateman, I heard they're doing another season of Arrested Development on Netflix.

I never caught the first season of AD they did for Netflix.

As good as the original AD seasons?

Not even close. I could barely sit through them.

Watched last nights Halt and Catch Fire episode this morning, didn't see that ending coming with only 2 episodes to go in the series.

Well they're all going away in a couple of weeks anyways.

Touching episode from perhaps my favorite currently running TV show right now.

My favorite current show, too. Also digging "The Deuce," David Simon's latest opus on HBO, starring James Franco and Maggie Gyllenhaal.

Mindhunter on Netflix is absolutely must watch TV. It's a David Fincher produced series, and he directs the first two and last two episodes. If you are a Fincher fan, and you should be, this will go down among his best work.

It's set in 1977 and tells the story of the creation of the FBI's Behavioral Science Unit. They begin interviewing serial killers and building a database to use for profiling this "new" type of criminal, ones that seem to lack motive. Great writing, acting and directing. Can't recommend it enough.

Looks dark and intense! I'll check it out after I'm done with season 3 of Narcos.

Stranger Things season 2 is fantastic. Such an enjoyable show. Perfect combination of so many things for me.
