If you liked the Killing (which I did), you should really try out the Danish original, Forbrydelsen.

Alright, I stole a co-workers DVD collection and now I have Forbrydelsen season 1-3 on my sofa table.

Almost through episode 3. This is some great Scandinavian crime drama. It's fun to see big Danish actors in younger roles. The production values are great and I love how they are using the various historic or iconic sites from around Copenhagen in their shots.

This was a really big sensation in Denmark, when it originally came out, the whole nation was trying to figure out who the killer was. I can see how the mystery of who the murder is, drives the story. Right now I am already starting to make guesses myself.

Unmmmmmm Lethal Weapon is being turned to TV set for Sept.

Ok, you made me google that:



I'm not sure what to think. I only just learned that they are making Lethal Weapons into a TV-show. Now I learn it was featuring a Wayans brother. I think I need to see a grief councilor, I am feeling like a dear friend passed away.

On a more serious note, it looks sort of faithful to the original films premise. I guess it could be good but just going by the trailer, the actors do not have the charisma of Gibson and Glover. Then again, nobody can replace those two.

Does not look as bad as I thought it might, and looks better than the TV version of RUSH HOUR (which was so-so, but by no means good). This also has a higher caliber star power. I'll probably give it a go.

Wait... they made a Rush Hour TV-show?! What is going on in America?



What else haven't I heard about? Is there 48 hours TV-show? A Beverly Hills Cop TV-show? Did the make a Predator TV-show while I wasn't looking?

Don't worry about RUSH HOUR, I watched the first 3eps so you don't have to. It's an admirable, but flawed version of the movie characters, with some funny lines...and most of the good stuff coming from Jackie Chan's stand-in (John Foo), and it was (understandably) cancelled after the first season.

Oh and there WAS going to be a Beverly Hills Cop tv show and Eddie Murphy was going to reprise Axel Foley passing the torch to his son. I think it never got made though.

You don't need Rush Hour anyway, when you can watch Martial Law with Sammo Hung and Arsenio.

I'm starting Fringe, halfway through episode 1.

[worry]

Fringe rules. And don't let these jerks tell you the final season isn't up to snuff either. It snaps into place like a Lego cherry on top of a near-perfect Lego milkshake.

[Tiste Simeon]

Fringe is great from episode 1 all the way to the final one. The last season is weird but very good!

You can't reach greatness sitting in a rocker.

Are you out of your mind? The fifth season was a completely pointless waste of air time.

Season 1+2 are great. 3 is bad, 4 is terrible and 5 is a crime against television.

[worry]

That's a Hell opinion.

You are a madman Apt, FRINGE is great ALL the way through! Brilliant to the last.

After browsing the internet and this forum, I have decided that there are too many conflicting opinions about when Fringe goes bad. I've decided to stop watching after episode 7.



Jk.

Anybody watched the iZombie show on Netflix? I more or less hate anything zombie related now a days but I've watched 3 episodes and it's really good so far. The "Eat brain, gain new personality quick" every episode is a bit gimmicky but I love the main character. As an episodic crime comedy show it works pretty well.

I am wondering where the hell the show is going because it seems like it could become pretty crazy if somebody doesn't stop "Patient zero".

Only as far as it is useful to win an argument against Apt. Once the argument is won, you're right back at the bottom of the food -and respect chain.
