discovered the documentary "Peter and the Farm" is streaming there. it's a fairly grim picture about a farmer in Vermont juggling with keeping himself and his farm together. dug it.

I usually see shows thru to the bitter end unless it's Sons of Anarchy or Peaky Blinders

Haha, I had to bail on these too

you guys are very smart for not finishing sons of anarchy. my life is considerably worse having completed it

I watched all of Peaky Blinders, and it was so dumb.

lol just thinking about the ending of sons of anarchy has me getting angry.

Think I lasted four or five episodes of SoA.

Kind of sad I never got to see the much maligned third season

I am removing Peaky Blinders from my queue right now.

I really loved the (new) Sean Brock episode of Chef's Table. I loved the guy, I loved his story. It was extremely good in every way.

Starting The Order

you guys so many dumb shows

can't believe none of you punks are watching One Strange Rock yet

I am so late to this, but I am really enjoying Hannibal.

It is among the best shows on television ever imo, visually outrageous and sumptuous, acting that brilliantly teeters between pathos and camp, utterly transgressive and unforgiving storytelling throughout and no real slow moments

I am a little obsessed with how large Mads Mikkelsen's windsor knots are. We got through season 1 all this week.

Oh man, I'm so jealous that you're going to get to see season 2 of Hannibal for the first time. It gets... wild.

Ohhh, I just found the Hannibal thread but I might wait to read it until I am done with the entire series.

SOA is basically a basic cable series version of Boondock Saints in terms of its stupidity and viewpoint on masculine bullshit and its overall extreme pleasure with itself.

I mean so many cable series have a lot of those aspects, but it was wallowing in that shit.

Apparently there might be a second season of Abducted In Plain Sight???

Starting The Order

Me too, I'm hoping this is finally the show for those of us still missing Hemlock Grove

xp to yerac: yeah, don't spoil anything. i guarantee the show goes in directions you can't dream of.

Only one character has any kind of charisma through two episodes of The Order.

omg yerac you're gonna have the best time

i should rewatch it this year

I watched Mads Mikkelsen videos of him dancing (the can can!) yesterday because I was banned from starting season two until this weekend.

The knowledge that you're watching Hannibal for the first time is really cheering up my morning!

god i loved hannibal, even season 3, but yeah season 2 is really the sweet spot

maybe we should all watch season 2 this weekend.

don't guzzle that fine wine! savor it!

a friend who was traveling from one of the "every product, but with w33d in it" states gifted me a ginger ale

perhaps it's ginger ale and Hannibal time tomorrow afternoon

Apparently there might be a second season of Abducted In Plain Sight???

I am so late to this, but I am really enjoying Hannibal.

was there some other version of Abducted in Plain Sight?

cos the thing I watched was a film

season 3 is the best season of hamibal imo but i like the dreamy irresolution of the first half gradually drifting into the red dragon plot

season 1's brief cycle of "outrageous serial killers of the week" is prob the weakest part of the show

i hope it's not spoiling anything to mention the red dragon plot happening but i feel like the show telegraphs that it's gonna get there

i truly love Silence of the Lambs but i think Mikkelsen is the best Lector. The right balance of charisma and likability and humor and absolute horror.

he has plenty of outstanding jokes throughout the show that are also referencing his own proclivities, just made to impress himself. love it.

I don't know anything about the Red Dragon plot. And yeah I didn't really care about any of the motw serial killers.

Mikkelsen is really good in this, but I don't know if it's because he is insanely hot and I keep waiting for him and Will to make out. And Lector has really nice stemware.

i think Hopkins was excellent in SOTL but he was not at all charming, simply fearsome and charismatic. Mikkelsen really accentuates the charming aspect, which is key to the character and how he fooled people.

xp i have written and erased three or four notes that could qualify as spoilers in response to that post but suffice it to say you should keep watching

fuck, i'm gonna have to rewatch Hannibal sometime this year aren't i

yes

yerac when you finish season 3 you should watch my friend greg's puppet recaps of each episode. here's one that has nothing to do with the plot of the show

the final season in Venice (?) confused the hell out of me, i didnt finish it because everything felt like a hallucination even moreso than prev seasons

It's so weird, I just found out Hannibal was on NBC. It seems more of a cable show.

I pretend Hannibal ends at the midpoint of s3. I got basically nothing out of them remaking Red Dragon.

Hot dog. Yeah, I think I can get through the whole thing soon. It's only 26 more episodes.

hamibal is one of my favorite things the internet has ever produced, and i wish he did more shows

it’s so beautiful - costumes, set design, cinematography, even the practical & digital effects are 😱
