Say What Again

Gutted NBC have cancelled Hannibal.hopefully it will find a new network

I'm a fan too, but - and I know it's only two episodes in - I almost feel like season 3 was going to disappear up its own arse. Yes it's always had that arty direction, but the in the first episode of this season, every second shot was a slo-mo of blood dripping etc.

 

Still a bit peeved it's been binned though.

But gutted to hear that about Hannibal. Was possibly my fav show.

 

As always, I'm waiting until this season has ended before watching them all back to back.

Agree this season has taken a more sedate turn,definitely preferred the intensity of last season,but there's still plenty time. It's as if because of the setting of this season, it feels like there's an obligation to be arty.

Working my way though Dexter , on season 6 now and this season is by far the worst one . The story's are bad not sure if it's because Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter was going through a divorce at the time.

The first two episodes of Hannibal season 3 have been far too arty farty and style over substance.I also now hate the Will Graham character and wish he had just died last season.

I never watched past the 1st episode for this very reason.

Enjoying Madam Secretary (Tia Leoni is easy on the eye) and also Murder in the first which given recent events in the US is a bit close to the bone but pretty good.

Season 1 and 2 are brilliant, loses it's way a bit after that. Think it was another one affected by the writers strike.

Yes this is one of those shows that completely and literally lost the plot after a  couple of seasons. The 3 rd season was pathetic. This also happened with Dexter and Oz.

I love Hannibal but definately agree with you. FFS are the actors on methadone or valium with their slow speech patterns. Or is that meant to be " arty".. whatever it is its really grating and rather boring. However the good news is it will liven up once Hannibal gets back to America and the tooth fairy appears.. Still i loved the Florence scenery but i can watch travel programmes to see that.

Thinking about starting Bloodline. Anyone watched it?

I enjoyed it. But that's not necessarily a recommendation.....

Just started watching "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia". 3 episodes in to the first season and I love it already. Very funny. 

 

Nobody else watch this? 

 

On to season 2 now. It is quality!

I'm on episode nine or ten. I think it's quite decent.

Opted to give Outlander a try and despite being a wee bit of a love story I wasn't disappointed. Plenty of gore and the Mrs said its one of the best things she's seen.

 

Moving onto Daredevil next.

I like Madam Secretary.

Each episode has its own story which I prefer.

It's always sunny in Philadelphia is one of the funniest shows I have ever seen. Finished season 10 and it never gets old or repeats itself. Genuinely laugh out loud stuff, it's almost a British sense of humour if that makes sense. Anyway, the wife hates it so I know it must be proper funny.

I've just started watching Spartacus. Worth a watch.

I put off watching it as I suspected you'd need to be a bit of a comic book geek to appreciate it. Not at all. One of the best series I've watched this year.

 

Black Sails, Vikings, and the second half of Game of Thrones being the rest.

Where are you getting Vikings from? I watched a few episodes over Xmas when I had a free trial with the Amazon streaming, now that's finished I can't see it anywhere else.

 

Is it exclusive to Amazon?

 

 

Edit: also need to get into Game of Thrones. Seen one episode half way through the first series & that's it!

Amazon gets it first here, with the History channel showing the latest series 6 months or so later.

I watched the first episode of Daredevil with the wife when it first aired and we both thought it was alright but not great.Anyway went back to it last night and watched the next 6 episodes in a row.It's fantastic and just keeps getting better and better.Also a lot darker than other Marvel stuff I hope the other Defenders stuff Netflix has planned follows suit as I think I like this far more than the family friendly Avengers.

Excellent choice - one of my favourite series in recent years.

Is orange is the new black any good?

 

After avoiding this for a long time despite lots of people I know recommending it I started watching it and thoroughly enjoyed it. Well written and acted with a good nasty baddy in the second series.

Pretty much the same as me. In fact I only decided to give it a try after jumping in the car and hearing Radio 1 interview the lead character. All of 7 secs with someone saying that it had taken the UK by storm! Not sure how correct the comment was but decided I would give it a bash.

Good to hear. I'll probably stick it on later this evening [emoji106]

Just finished Crossing Lines, and on to Ray Donovan at the moment both were pretty good.

 

Been recommended the Strain, so going to download and check that out.

 

Any more recommendations?

Did you watch season 2 of Crossing Lines? I watched the first one and hands up thought it was brilliant. I thought the second was a joke and gave up halfway through. It wasn't the storyline and was the acting. It went weird for some bizarre reason. Really fake and ruined it for me.

He is a great actor.Wonder if Bullseye will show up as well last rumour had Statham as the man they wanted for that part.

Can see why Hannibal has been cancelled, this season has been a major disappointment so far.

 

I'll probably watch it, just to see it out - though I don't expect much of an ending.

 

It's been dreadful. All slo-mo's, flashbacks, dream sequences, and the intellectual verbal exchange which hardly progresses the story at all. I've found myself taking more interest in my phone while it's on.

Gave 12 Monkeys a second chance.

 

It's actually not too bad.

12 Monkeys got better as the series panned out.

 

I really enjoyed it.

Sky currently have all 4 seasons of Veep on catchup/box sets (Season 4 is all on there although it's not yet been shown on Sky Atlantic).

 

This is a show that gets better each season.

Fake or Fortune.

Watched this for the first time,now into series 4.

Last week they had 3 LS Lowry pictures and they had to investigate to see if they were real or fake.

Fascinating stuff and I really enjoyed the show.

Not the usual programme on this thread but we'll worth a look on Iplayer for something different.

Mrs wanted something to watch so watched the trailer for Ray Donavan & Daredevil. Neither took her fancy which delighted me as I'll watch them both.

 

We opted for Wayward Pines. 2 episodes in and whilst I'm enjoying it I am fecked off that Shalaman (whatever his name is) really doesn't have any original ideas! This is essentially just the idea he used for The Village (think that was it).

Just started watching this - on episode 3 of first series. I take it you'd recommend sticking with it.

YES! 

Season 1 starts of slow but builds. 

Season 2 - all new levels of crazy. 

 

It's superb. Probably one of those series that's very under rated.

Powered through with it, but still enjoyed it.

Epic TV show.
