Binging is probably the best way to vibe with that show. It's what worked for me.

xxxp good wife is 45min

Can you compare GG to something else I may have seen? Style of dialogue is in the vein of what?

mom tossed in kimchee (quincie), Wednesday, 11 November 2015 00:16 (eight years ago) link

everybody speaking in rapid-fire "witticisms" that aren't really that witty but are spoken as fast as possible so as to create the impression of wit

literally makes me want to smash things, it's so irritating

Οὖτις, Wednesday, 11 November 2015 00:21 (eight years ago) link

I made it through 1 and a half episodes

Οὖτις, Wednesday, 11 November 2015 00:22 (eight years ago) link

yup. utterly unbearable

the cult mystifies me

Number None, Wednesday, 11 November 2015 00:23 (eight years ago) link

Maybe try Friday Night Lights?

I know when that Ott line zings (Spottie), Wednesday, 11 November 2015 00:30 (eight years ago) link

Sounds like I need to watch GG.

Jeff, Wednesday, 11 November 2015 00:37 (eight years ago) link

buffy holds up incredibly well, wtf

karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Wednesday, 11 November 2015 00:52 (eight years ago) link

and angel totally does not. and GG is indeed unbearable garbage

karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Wednesday, 11 November 2015 00:53 (eight years ago) link

The Knick S2 and Fargo S2 are both totally ace right now. The latest Walking Dead is very pedestrian right now, boring as fuck.

xelab, Wednesday, 11 November 2015 00:57 (eight years ago) link

I really liked Friday Night Lights, especially after living in Texass. May give that a second go, but I really should use the opportunity to watch something new (to me).

mom tossed in kimchee (quincie), Wednesday, 11 November 2015 00:58 (eight years ago) link

gilmore girls sounds like parenthood to me if that means anything to you.

my contemporary votes are High Maintenance (easy and cheap and fast), the Americans, Veep, Hannibal, Rick and Morty and Getting On

Is Veronica Mars streaming anywhere?

Kiarostami bag (milo z), Wednesday, 11 November 2015 01:46 (eight years ago) link

i watched it on amazon, i think it's still available there

karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Wednesday, 11 November 2015 01:49 (eight years ago) link

Gilmore Girls is great BUT

patter is like Dawson's Creek x Buffy, loads of pop culture references & you have to really be in the mood for everyone talking that way. It makes mr veg visibly recoil, closed doors, the works lol

but the relationships are endearing & it's v funny & moving & MADE for rainy day watching & lots of great actors & fun cameos & the first 3 or 4 seasons are <3

Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 11 November 2015 02:26 (eight years ago) link

I wish ER was on Netflix or Amazon Prime, I'd binge hard on that. In my mind the first 4-5 seasons were really good but that was in the middle of my teens so what the hell did I know?

Kiarostami bag (milo z), Wednesday, 11 November 2015 03:10 (eight years ago) link

Dramatic series that I own on DVD (all of which I would recommend for binge watching): Buffy, Angel, Breaking Bad, Twin Peaks, Gilmore Girls.

Okay, and Dallas. Okay? Is that okay with you? Geez.

Gary (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 11 November 2015 03:17 (eight years ago) link

I would also like to add ST:TNG and Homicide and the DC animated shows to that list.

Gary (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 11 November 2015 03:27 (eight years ago) link

I know I already raved about the music on Limitless, but tonight they had a high-speed montage set to Babymetal and I freaked the fuck out. Props!

the naive cockney chorus (Simon H.), Wednesday, 11 November 2015 05:03 (eight years ago) link

yeah its pretty fun!

I know when that Ott line zings (Spottie), Wednesday, 11 November 2015 06:09 (eight years ago) link

Must see Limitless.

Jeff, Wednesday, 11 November 2015 12:00 (eight years ago) link

It's CBS though, right? WHich means I'll probably never see it.

Jeff, Wednesday, 11 November 2015 12:00 (eight years ago) link

can stream on the website no?

You're the Worst got MUCH better and MUCH darker

Eugene Goostman (forksclovetofu), Saturday, 21 November 2015 19:22 (eight years ago) link

Getting only a bit more of a handle on my Good Wife appreciation. Maybe I do enjoy the non-Elsbeth characters as much as the writing and acting and milieu? Then again maybe I just like watching Chris Noth.

Enjoying Crazy Ex-GF more than I'd imagine I would something CW - the thing it leads into is panicked-search-for-the-remote unwatchable - but have a hard time shaking the sense that it's just Mindy with a white girl, plus songs. Why isn't she on anymore?

Have also been hooked by Quantico, which is ok, because I went to school with the showrunner. It is soooo his product. I preferred the one from the other showrunner I went to school with.

Comprehensive Nuclear Suggest-Ban Theory (benbbag), Saturday, 21 November 2015 19:37 (eight years ago) link

Enjoying Man in the High Castle. Amazon seem to be great at sets and aesthetics.

AJD, Sunday, 22 November 2015 21:59 (eight years ago) link

and plastering Nazi symbols on New York subways

Comprehensive Nuclear Suggest-Ban Theory (benbbag), Tuesday, 24 November 2015 01:32 (eight years ago) link

i know i'm the only one fighting this fight and it's already lost, but my god: tonight's episode of Getting On contained one of the most touching moments i've ever seen on television and about four of the most awkward moments.
Would love to see the original BBC series if anyone can point me to it.

Eugene Goostman (forksclovetofu), Monday, 30 November 2015 07:01 (eight years ago) link

^^^ditto. Great show despite acute pain I feel at every episode.

mom tossed in kimchee (quincie), Monday, 30 November 2015 14:29 (eight years ago) link

I don't know why I get excited every time Top Chef starts up again. I watch five episodes and then lose interest every season for the last six.

Kiarostami bag (milo z), Friday, 4 December 2015 04:42 (eight years ago) link

Yeah, I haven't watched it in four or five years.

fields of salmon, Monday, 7 December 2015 00:27 (eight years ago) link

Having just moved and dealing now with time warner, i am seriously considering cord cutting. They're horrible to deal with.
HBOGo, Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Mubi... except for the goddamn nba and nfl

Does that make you mutter, under your breath, “Damn”? (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 15 December 2015 02:35 (eight years ago) link

I recently got an upgrade on my cable so I could watch local pro sports, but had to ditch Hulu to make up for some of the cost. My cable package doesn't have DVR, and I'll never remember to catch up on with shows On Demand, so it looks like I might just watch sports for the next year or so. There is so much garbage in this cable package I can't even

rap is dad (it's a boy!), Tuesday, 15 December 2015 02:43 (eight years ago) link

I caught Last Man On Earth last night though. What a dramatic ending for a comedy!

rap is dad (it's a boy!), Tuesday, 15 December 2015 02:43 (eight years ago) link

I p much hate TV but Fargo and the Knick have been so freaking good lately. Also brooklyn 99.

I was getting into Penny Dreadful but havent got far into s2, havent had the time. Where do people find time to watch so much shit (unless yr someone like my friend who has recently given birth so is usually awake all night with a babby on her).

I checked Snoops , and it is for real (Trayce), Tuesday, 15 December 2015 03:19 (eight years ago) link

Heh, the Last Man ending was such a cheesy cliffhanger - c'mon, they're not going to kill either of them.
But I'm still loving that show.

Nhex, Tuesday, 15 December 2015 07:06 (eight years ago) link

today in Limitless soundtrack watch: "La La Means I Love You," an Artificial Brain reference, and a climactic scene set to Subrosa's "The Usher."

the naive cockney chorus (Simon H.), Wednesday, 16 December 2015 02:05 (eight years ago) link

I'm so sad there's no You're The Worst this week. I started Man Seeking Woman on Hulu because hey, it's FXX too but it's not in the same league.

Kiarostami bag (milo z), Wednesday, 16 December 2015 02:35 (eight years ago) link

some of the later episodes are really strong.

the naive cockney chorus (Simon H.), Wednesday, 16 December 2015 03:22 (eight years ago) link

Second and third eps were a definite improvement over the pilot - the actual troll thing seemed like a huge mis-step.

Kiarostami bag (milo z), Wednesday, 16 December 2015 03:23 (eight years ago) link

I've only seen one episode of Limitless but that episode (#2) was one of the best things I saw on broadcast television this year

you're breaking the NAP (DJP), Wednesday, 16 December 2015 16:34 (eight years ago) link

really fun show

Spottie, Wednesday, 16 December 2015 16:35 (eight years ago) link

three weeks pass...

Limitless music watch continued: "Jump into the Fire", Dan Deacon's "When I Was Done Dying", Puccini, and Bradley Cooper saying "Goatwhore."

the naive cockney chorus (Simon H.), Wednesday, 6 January 2016 04:33 (eight years ago) link

i just started watching New Girl

also jake johnson is p cute

Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 6 January 2016 07:29 (eight years ago) link

you just like him because his doppleganger was in Star Wars

Nhex, Wednesday, 6 January 2016 15:08 (eight years ago) link

I tried watching some of the recent season premiere and I made it about five minutes

the naive cockney chorus (Simon H.), Wednesday, 6 January 2016 15:11 (eight years ago) link

My kids started crying right about when not-Cece's-mom tried to get out of Nick's car and I was cringing so hard that I didn't rewind to watch the end

you're breaking the NAP (DJP), Wednesday, 6 January 2016 16:27 (eight years ago) link

1) Red Oaks (Amazon)

bcz it's the only show i'm watching, unless 2001 Sopranos counts.
