FX Network hourlong dramas

i know, i think about sunglasses so much when i'm watching the shield!

haha

is it messed up that that show kind of makes me want to move to LA?

not at all. it is pretty much like that

see if u can find one of Dutch & Steve getting in the most humiliating fistfight ever.

would buy all the pretty ladies hitting on aceveda a lot more tbh

adam you are asking about male attractiveness a lot lately

no I always ask about that

why what are you saying?

I'm just constantly amazed when people go "[dude x] is attractive" and I have to reconfigure my whole idea of male beauty. I mean, c'mon, Chiklis!

Well, he did share several overlapping love interests w/ Jay Karnes.

i just thought maybe you were feeling insecure, i wanted to reassure you

u should relax your fascist beauty standards imo

I think you're right, actually. That's sort of what I'm saying!

I am shallow =(

aw i was kidding!

i started watching the first season of The Shield recently and i'm really having a hard time giving a good goddamn about anything that happens in it, like my eyes practically roll into the back of my head with indifference.

it gets better. the very end of season 1, stuff starts to kick into high gear. it's wildly implausible and kind of sensationalistic but i don't know, i'm totally hooked now.

wildly implausible - just wait until you get to the "blackmail box" sequence..

Terriers has had an OK start. It seems like they're going for a slow build, like Justified. Logue's no Olyphant, but he and that guy from True Blood are amusing enough, and there's an interesting darkness just underneath the skin of those characters. I'll probably give it a few more weeks at least, it may have potential.

it's like Veronica Mars with (more) grownups! the one-liners aren't quite there yet but the tone is nice. the relationship btwn Logue and his ex-wife is really well-done too.

is it pronounced terry-ayes

not an hourlong drama, but "the league" makes me want to punch everyone involved repeatedly

"the league" is to fantasy football what "nick & norah's infinite playlist" was to indie rock

looks pretty good.

I'm enjoying Terriers. Some good character stuff. Not great but watchable.

wait, meant that The League looks pretty bad.

I would have voted for the Shield, but damn SoA is pretty good, if only for Hunman and Sagal (sp for both?). Kurt Sutter co-wrote on the Shield, didn't he? I wouldn't say that SoA is as good as the Shield, but it's pretty fucking good. I mean ffs it has Henry Rollins in season 2! I was so happy I screamed. lolol

Justified is back in February! Still no word on a Terriers renewal, though. Btwn those, the League, It's Always Sunny and SoA these guys are killing it right now.

so happy about justified. SOA is my fav show on air right now. But enough with the nude Hunnam.

so there's no way Lights Out will be any good, is there? do we need a The Walking Dead-style series length string of boxing movie cliches?

last Terriers ep was fantastic

Tonight's Terriers ep. wz great too. Any word on its cancellation yet?

no, but the feeling is that it is imminent.

obviously it won't happen until after the finale though.

'lights out' kinda interests me, holt mcallany has always been a good actor.

TV critic I follow on twitter watched the first season and said it has some problems but was enjoyable. I don't really trust that critic though.

you should probably stop following them on twitter

i like to see a wide range of perspectives.

per my post upthread, the ads for Lights Out are so unappealing to me (and are SO LONG and appear in EVERY ad break every time i've watched any other FX show on demand the past few months) that i'm kind of predisposed to hating it, but i also feel like the network's quality control lately has been high enough that i'll at least give the first couple episodes a chance.

Sepinwall digs it

i'll give it a shot, but i was also foolish enough to hang onto Rescue Me for a couple of seasons. no Terriers or Sons of Anarchy on the air so I guess I'll give this a couple of weeks
