The good wife season 1.

Pretty great so far.

tw2113 · 02.07.2015, 02:38 PM

Decided to re-watch Carnivale again after a few years.

I thought Black Mirror sucked. Carnivale was really good, especially the episode in the abandoned mining camp

Rob Instigator · 02.16.2015, 10:26 AM

I am a huge fan of anthology horror/sci-fi television (twilight zone, outer limits, tales from the darkside, creepshow) I thought the first two eps of Black Mirror were the best of this kind of TV since the 80's! i loved them. i like morality tales (star Trek, Deep space nine)

Rob Instigator · 02.16.2015, 10:26 AM

carnivale was overwrought and pointless apart from costuming and fashion

tw2113 · 02.16.2015, 12:07 PM

Probably why it got axed after the 2nd season.

!@#$%! · 02.16.2015, 12:25 PM

i loved carnivale which i saw fairly recently. good characters, good story, and good period reconstruction. the unwrapping of the mystery of who is who and the larger mythology was pretty great. in that i thought the first season was much better. the 2nd season seemed a bit sloppier--don't know if that was just the way it was done or if they were trying to tie some ends before cancellation. this as i understand was not due to low ratings per se but rather that the cost of production was very high too. a pity it didn't continue, i thought it was great and it had legs to keep it going for a while.

Rob Instigator · 02.16.2015, 12:41 PM

I found it more style than substance. Just me though. My wife loved Carnivale.

schizophrenicroom · 02.16.2015, 02:25 PM

mozart in the jungle is delightful

if by substance you mean usable knowledge or an increased understanding of how the world works, like the morality tales you enjoy, then yes, carnivale had very little of such lessons.

but as an alternate reality in which fantastic things happen that capture the imagination and offer relief from the everyday--then it was very well conceived and was a good engrossing tale.

Rob Instigator · 02.16.2015, 02:53 PM

that's about right.

!@#$%! · 03.01.2015, 09:50 AM

finished watching the last season of TREMÉ

dammit i'm really going to miss that show

evollove · 03.01.2015, 11:29 AM

New HOUSE OF CARDS

Spoiler: Frank's still a dick

Rob Instigator · 03.02.2015, 09:13 AM

House of Cards

ilduclo · 03.02.2015, 01:16 PM

I liked the orig House of Cards. That and The Thick of It were both great. Capaldi and Ian Richardson are a couple of great bastards.
