The TV thread

Did 'Emerald City' start?
Dang, I was going to record that.

 

Better Call Saul teaser.

 

Fell asleep watching 'Taboo' last night.
I'm interested, but, man, there was a lot of mumbly, low talking in that.

I'm not talking about accents. I'm pretty good understanding accents, and those in the show were not that pronounced.
But it was like so many movies, the actually dialogue was really, really low. I had the damn TV cranked.

 

I think "It's Always Sunny" has been fall-over hilarious in its first two episodes of this season.

 

Even though the Keyser Soze ending was easy to see coming it was still really good.

 

They've had Sir Patrick on about 3-4 times, now, so he's pretty loose when he's on — he's a friend of the show. And each one is hilarious, especially when they start sharing Wil Wheaton stories. Hardwick was a boyhood friend of WW.

 

My wife started watching it over the holidays with her mom and really liked it, so I have been catching up on it. I really like it so far, though the grown up Randall is a strange guy.

 

I binge watched this with my best friend when I went home to Vancouver over Christmas. It wasn't what I expected and we both got hooked really quickly.

 

Only got better with Milana Vayntrub (Lilly on the AT&T commercials) joining the cast.

 

Recently began watching Shameless and I'm enjoying it quite a bit. William H. Macy is outstanding.

 

I've seen the first four episodes and will revisit it at some point in the future. It's not deathless comedy for the ages, but it's a nice diversion. In some ways, it reminds me of the improv sitcom, "10 Items or Less."

I saw the season (series?) finale of "Sherlock." Good lord, it was dark. I still haven't decided if it was the worst episode or one of the best.

 

What do we think of The Young Pope?

I was pretty hooked early on, thanks to the cinematography and camera work.
