Exceelent TV Shows

[johnnya24]

My wife and I just binge watched the first season of Fargo. Wow.

I know some of you had posted about it earlier. I think all gave it great reviews.

I read that the whole thing was written by one guy! Well done Noah Hawley well done.

This easily fits in my top 10 tv shows of all time.

Believe it or not, season 2 is even better. I didn't believe that would have been possible ... but it was.

Anyone giving 24: Legacy a try? I've been watching it. I have to admit, I miss Jack Bauer.

I'm not feeling this new main character.

Good storyline, though.

Yeah, it's ok. It has the same issues as all the other 24 seasons -- that the characters forget what just happened to them an hour or two before. Plus things get abnormally sped up (i.e. travel times, traffic, etc).

Did you see it from episode 1? Missing any episodes would be bad for this series. Also, some familiarity with the source material, even though this seems to stray from it a good deal, makes the show much more interesting. The idea of a tremendously powerful psychic also being borderline psychotic is interesting. Sort of a distortion of the Spiderman line--with great power comes great responsibility turns in to with great power, comes great trauma.

Yeah, I've seen every episode.

I can see it, but the past 3 episodes have been truly strange.

I like the kind of crazy Mr Robot has, but this is really strange for me. I like X Men and most Sci fi, but again, am struggling to continue watching.

Edit: The idea of not knowing what is real within a mind that has the power to distort reality is pretty fascinating to me. Do a quick scan of the Legion wiki page--it might make you a bit more interested in how the show will go. Who his father is in the comics, and what his relationship is to the other characters in the comics is interesting, although they seem to have changed the latter for the series. I will say that new M. Night movie seems to have borrowed some of its plot from Legion.

I am loving it. I doubt they can sustain this level of trusting its viewers to stick with it through complicated/confusing plot points, but it is one of the boldest shows out there right now. I like the direction it has taken, different and better than the source material so far imo.

It has to do with a character related to the X-Men. I'm enjoying it though I admit it's pretty out there.

OK I thought it was the apocalyptic film Legion LOL

Trying to stay with Legion, I thought it was something to do with the movie, maybe I remember the movie incorrectly--but this is just laboring for me. I'll give it a couple more, but I may have to bail.

Feud on FX is exceelent. I'm extremely impressed with FX's attention to detail on its series, and this is no different.

It's an anthology series, and this season (its first) is based on the feud between Bette Davis and Joan Crawford. The cast is stellar (Jessica Lange as Crawford, and Susan Sarandon as Davis), and Alfred Molina is great as director/producer Robert Aldrich.

well, it's an ad, but at least it's a baseball ad.

if you are at all interested in Twin Peaks, watching "Fire Walk with Me" and reading "The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer" are well worth your time.

I finished Westworld, it too is worth watching, Season 2 of "The Man in the High Castle" is even better than Season 1, and I'm almost done with Season 2 of Hannibal which is excellent food, suit and murder porn
