Anyone a fan of Billy on the Street? I think it's my new favourite show.

I've watched some stuff from it, it's pretty hilarious. The one with Amy Poehler wearing a Pitbull mask is great.



Loving Better Call Saul at the moment. I had my doubts over whether Bob Odenkirk could pull the character off as the lead role but holy s**t is he doing a good job.

The latest season hasn't been as good actually. Hopefully it's not running out of steam but it seems like exactly the kind of concept that would. Wifey refuses to watch anymore than two episodes at a time because it's "too intense" lol.

I'm saving this for a season binge. Have heard good reports.

Went and saw Noel Fielding tonight. Was probably the most whacked out show I've ever seen. Very entertaining though.
 
Watched the first episode of Wayward Pines last night. I felt mildly offended.

It just feels like another Lost/Underneath the Dome. They try to suck you in with the "mystery" of it all, having no end game in sight and then just drag it out for as long as people will watch it. I'm of the mind to stop watching now while I don't give a s**t about the characters. Wifey tried to tell me that won't happen because it was a "mini series" and had a definite end game as it was only 6 episodes. I called bullshit and she imdb'd it and found it was 10 episodes. I find it hard to believe they'll stop there.

I'll watch stuff like True Detective that really is a mini series and really does have an end game but I have no desire to get sucked into another never ending quagmire that's all development and questions with no substance or satisfying answers. It also didn't help that M. Night Shyamalan is heavily involved either.

ah right right, I'm a sucker for that type of stuff so I'll def still give it a watch... And of course complain when it turns out terrible by ep 10.

I hope I'm wrong for your sake!
 
Saw the first episode of sense8, hmm where to begin...

It's good, well worth it. It's a tough first episode because you are trying to introduce 8 new characters and a complicated theme so it ends up being very skittish and shallow but you make allowances for that because of what's to come and because it looks so Damn pretty! Visually it is immaculate, very wachowski...trade mark them.

Its funny with them, it feels like they often put style ahead of substance... It worked with the matrix because the story was so strong, the balance worked, but in other pursuits it sometimes diseht add up to the sum of its parts, always very watchable because of the style but the dissconnect from the story or the scale of its idea is too much. Leave you feeling like you want to like it but something is missing..

Anyhow I'm excited for the rest of this series , ep 1 was a great teaser, I'm in.

Is it on fox or do I need to watch it elseway elsewhere?

I watched the first ep, I liked it but I dunno how they're going to come to a good satisfying conclusion by the end of it because I can only assume they're going to introduce a bunch of other weird s**t along the way too.

I have a confession to make.

I kept watching it.

I'm digging it, thought last nights ep was really good. Not just content wise but really like the way it was produced.

I didn't realise it was based on novels. Plot is certainly thickening.
