Battle Creek is pretty crapola, wish it was better

i get that its light hearted but its pretty bland and everything feels like its from a show from a few years ago

I lasted two episodes. Probably an hour or more was watching with half an eye on the screen. Nicest thing I can say is I liked the credit sequence at the top of the show.

If it's produced by the same people that make TWD there's no way I'd get myself into a second version of it given they butcher TWD so often (last ep of the latest season was surprisingly good).

flight23 got me onto it, about 5-6 eps into it so far, am enjoying it, quite weird (good way, just haven't come across anything that's doe it like this) where you get the start, glimpses of the end and finding out what happened in the middle with each ep.
 
Anyone checked out bloodline? I saw a trailer for it and it looked pretty good.

Watching the final episode tonight. Loved it.

Ben Mendelsohn is superb. Looks like Sean Penn, acts like Sean Penn.

It's a suffocating portrait of a family and their secrets, and all fueled by booze.

There's a few 'jump's, obvious tropes and sometimes you just know what's going to happen. All minor quibbles, really, because all in all, a very entertaining and well-done season.

I'm a few episodes in and I'm loving it. After the first episode, I considered just ditching it entirely because it was so boring, but the last 5 minutes of the pilot intrigued me enough to continue to the second episode - and I'm glad I did. It's completely engulfing. Everything about it is mysterious and you're left wanting more after each episode. Definitely recommend it, and I'm not even half way through yet!

Will be firing up Bloodline on Netflix.
If you kinda interpret episode one is a prelude or a prologue, rather than an indication of what each episode is going to be like, then you'll enjoy the show a lot more. Episode one is slooooooooooooooow. Like Melbourne making it to the top 8 kinda slow.

Wayward Pines starts on Foxtels FX channel on May 14,so it looks like it's hours after the USA showing.

http://www.fox.com/wayward-pines

Actually that's odd,it debuts in the USA & Aus on May 14 o_O
Either FX have their dates wrong and it should be the 15th on Foxtel or it's being shown here before the USA

Backstrom and battle creek should struggle they are both pretty crap shows

Castle has to end sometime they have been running out of ideas since season 3

Haven't watched American Crime but someone I think Gaso said it was really good

American Crime is a bit like Rectify Lite.
