The TV thread

Meanwhile, everyone is raving about The Leftovers on HBO, so that's set to record. I'm still on the fence on whether or not I want to give The Bridge on FX another go. Got a little too weird at the end of last season, and I was flat out bored by it at times.

 

I though the stuff not involving the drama teacher from Victorious was really good. Interesting to see how they contrive to keep the two leads working together. And how well the off season treated Annabeth Gish.

 

The Leftovers was tremendous. Want to watch another episode right now. Just gripping stuff. Really strong start.

 

HBO on demand.

 

The last few episodes, heck most of this last season, of Nurse Jackie has been solid.
I think it was two weeks ago when she broke up with her cop boyfriend and then had her recovery sponsor committed was an outstanding twist. We knew she would lie and cheat to get her fix, but never thought she'd stoop that low and be that devious and evil.
The season finale was outstanding in trying to force her hand into recovery, knowing she's lost her job and her children, yet the drugs still won out. The ending with the pills be thrown all over the car and her mugshot being taken sets things up quite nicely for next season.

 

Just finished first season of 'Orange is the New Black.'

I liked it.

Pretty dark there right at the end. Not dark compared to other shows, but dark in comparison to the tone of the rest of the season.

 

I was so happy after the last scene of the season, I was cheering out loud.

 

So when will Netflix put Season 2 on DVD?

We live in the boonies outside of town and have no hard line coming into our property. We get 10GB of wifi/cell data per month, which means we do not, for the most part, stream video.

 

You know, I just noticed you were talking about the first season. My reference was to Season 2. I just finished that Sunday night.

 

It's out. Been out for about a month now.

 

During a scene a few minutes earlier, I thought that problem was going to be taken care of in a more unsettling manner. I liked the real end better than the one I envisioned.

 

Catching up on Silicon Valley. I'm on episode 7. Very funny show.
