:) thx goole

anyone watch teh returned?

yeah, i dunno, fruit hunters kind of sucked. i mean, it was well-directed, but whoever wrote it should really go back to writing restaurant reviews.

people, recommend me some Movies on netflix. not TV shows, not documentaries, i mean some real Movies.

The Returned (French supernatural drama on Channel 4) xpost

The returned is really really good

The Hunt was great.

The keep is not worth keeping.

the help can't be helped

the returned will keep you on the hunt for a second helping

watched first ep of returned a few nights ago -- really enjoyable.
still a stan for the scando-fun of ANNIKE BENGTZON: CRIME REPORTER.

The Grey is well shaded.

i liked the returned, found the ending a bit too cryptic, then realized there was gonna be a second season

(but im L O S T - shy)

The Returned is one of the best things I've ever found on Netflix.

I've been ignoring it because I thought I was confusing it with The 4400 or some other terrible show but now I will watch immediately! Also the French title is "Les Revenants" which is fascinating because a revenant is a terrible monster even in English. Spooky!

ya i felt like a bit of a dummy not realizing before that revenant just means comer-backer

or like, comer-againer

The spookiest thing to me is that I'm understanding some words of French. If I don't post again inside 12 hours, someone call the authorities, okay?

im sure you'll be back

lol yeah it's the 4400 vibes that have me not wanting to touch it. and i watched the whole run of that damn show

still a stan for the scando-fun of ANNIKE BENGTZON: CRIME REPORTER.

Yes! I will watch pretty much any Scandinavian crime stuff but this was really fun.

The Returned is genuinely great. Easily the best programme aired in the UK last year.

not watching the Returned because it shares a plot element with the 4400 is like not watching Deadwood because you didn't like Wild Wild West.

thanks, now imagining Deadwood with giant spider robots

might have been an improvement

I wanted to watch the Returned but now ILX tells me it has a cryptic ending because there was supposed to be another season. Is this going to be endlessly frustrating?

I'd like to return to the returned.

so few shows have satisfying closers, I try not to use that as a factor in watching

This is a "village" where everyone knows each other but there are multi-story apartment buildings and a bus system? France, man.

Series 2 airs this year, iirc. It's not like it was cancelled before they had a chance to resolve things.

i think they pushed back filming ssn 2 to 2015. the French and their vacations.

i started watching Lonesome Dove last night.
I love Tommy Lee Jones, fyi.

lonesome dove is incredible. kind of a pioneer (lol?) in kinda grim and violent tv as well

oh man I love lonesome dove

I thought the implication was that it was cancelled before it's time. Good to know it'll have a second season, which will no doubt end with satisfying closure.

Whatever, this show is THE CREEPSIEST.

i do like it, im saying i thought it was unsatisfying because i assumed it was the end of the series—didnt realize there was more to come

maybe. there were two episodes more than their should have been. i'm worried about the sustainability of the creepy; feel like the mystery's getting explained away and stretched too thing.

I would actually be completely satisified if the eight current episodes were the series total, but I'll watch more if they make it, that's for damn sure.

I like the Returned so much it actually kind of made me want to watch the 4400! But I shouldn't, right?

The first season or two of the 4400 isn't bad for basic cable sci-fi, then it went off the rails.

Things on my list expiring 4/1:

Nell
American Gigolo
The Dead
Mommie Dearest
Everything or Nothing: The Untold Story of 007
Farewell to the King
The Van

I haven't seen any of these.

So The Returned is the French TV show version of the movie They Came Back?

Yes, they carry the same title in France. The TV show is meant to be much better (i haven't seen the film).

I watched the first episode last night. Thought it was pretty great.

The Punk Singer (Kathleen Hanna doc) is up

Oh nice.

All the adult women on The Returned have really small breasts and never wear bras. It's weirdly specific.

sold!
