Is the TV show called Humans on in the US? Interesting concept. Just started in the UK so we will see how the story unfolds.

I'm assuming from the lack of buzz on the forum compared to last season that most were disappointed in this season's offering of "True Detective." I did make a point to watch each episode but found the plot very convoluted and the characters not very likeable.

Anyone here a Rick and Morty fan? I just got introduced to it a few weeks before the new season started. Gotta be the funniest show I've seen in a while, partly because it's just so different from anything else I've seen recently.

I liked it better than season one although I have to admit, I didn't watch season 1 with the same interest as season 2. SPOILER: Season 1 seemed to be too much talking in the police station. And Matthew McConaughey mumbled so much I could barely understand him. Maybe I should rewatch it.

I enjoyed the show, but have no idea why since I couldn't follow it. :confused: I think I just liked that fact it isn't the usual fare, but I'm not sure I paid enough attention to track what was going on. I tend to do too much multi tasking when I need to focus on one thing. I have the same issue with Mr. Robot.

Anyone watch the show "Alone" on the history channel? Might have been the best reality TV show I've ever watched.

Same "universe" as The Walking Dead, but I believe it is set in the L.A. area. I'll be watching; I'm a sucker for zombie stories.

Same here. I don't typically like horror stuff, unless it's well done. It just seems cheesy most of the time with some cheap jump scares thrown in. I will watch anything involving zombies though.

It's taken awhile (currently on S4E4), but I've finally bought in to Game of Thrones. I still think the show is a bit busy (I feel I'd enjoy the books much more than the show), but it's high moments are fantastic. Just my two cents. :)

I haven't watched the show since season 2 (no HBO), but the books, IMO, were far far busier. Way more characters, lots more subplots. I quite literally had to use the family trees and other stuff in the back of the books.

Oh I don't doubt that whatsoever. But with a book I feel I have more time to be immersed within the story. Sure, I could pause the show to get a similar effect, but for some reason it's different.

I prefer the books, and now that the show has caught up, I'm not sure I'll keep watching when season six rolls around. On the other hand, who knows when Martin actually gets around to finishing the books, and the show is fun to watch with friends while it's new and exciting.

I watched the 2-hour premier of The Bastard Executioner last night. It seemed to start a bit slow with all of the back-story, but by the end I was wanting more. Looks like Sutter may have another hit on his hands.

Oh - Katey Sagal's fake accent is like fingernails on a chalkboard.

Doggone it!! I was hoping she would be mute in this one. And then get killed off by the 3rd episode.

I know they're married and all, but come on Kurt! Hopefully she won't have a singing role in this series.

Anyone watching Blindspot? It's coming to the UK the 24th I believe. Looks interesting. Should I watch?

It's my favorite new show of the season. The ratings have been good, so I'm hoping it's around for a few seasons.
