I'm still trying to find the time to get through S1 on Netflix...and I like the general tone of it, but I've only made it to like ep 4 so far.

S1 has a few Teeny Boppy bits but the story is great. S2 gets down right fantastic.

Oh, it starts out with some run of the mill teen angst crap, but boy, does it get better. Second half of season 1 is rather good while season 2 is just fucked up, like for realsies! Which is good!

I'd say stick with it. We binged it pretty hard and I really found the concept interesting. There are definitely some things that have to be overlooked (I'd be interested to see if the same things occur to you) but its pretty damn good despite that and the teen angst stuff. And yes, S2 does kick it up a few notches. I'll take this show over a lot of others.

[QuickTidal]

It was a cool, if sparse and excessive explanatory opener...but I expected that with a team of 8 to show.

Darvill is great, as per usual, especially after the reveal of his initial lies.

I could watch Captain Cold and White Canary verbally banter and kick ass for hours.

I'm excited to see where it goes.

I still hate the guy who plays Hawkman though. He's just such a smarmy douche.

Stan Lee's The Lucky Man

First episode is intriguing. But I'll watch just about anything with James Nesbitt in it.

[Primateus]

Well, first episode of The 100 season 3 carried on pretty nicely from last season.

Spoiler

I like how the first five minutes was basically a guy going insane

Not really much more I can say without making a huge ass spoiler other than the method stuff, acting, story, etc. seems have not gotten better, but it certainly hasn't gotten worse either, I think.

Not really sure what this season is going to bring just yet for Clarke and her friends, but I have no idea where the Jaha story is going.

Anyway, I'll continue to watch it and I'm glad it's back for season 3.

Agreed. It seems that

Spoiler

there's going to be war or the major threat of it between the Arkfallen and the various tribes of Grounders. As you said: I have no clue what else is going on with the Jaha, City of Light, female hologram angle. They go out of their way to give us a point of view that states "she" is responsible for nuking the world, but then Jaha refutes that near the end of the episode. He's clearly drinking her koolaid but what is it and what does it show him that is so convincing/compelling??

I found that part more intriguing than the other, for now at least.

Mr Robot is a fantastic show. If you're not watching it, you should be.

Agreed! There's a thread on it here somewhere, maybe a page or two back...

Page 4 in fact...

Ah, that'd explain it, I gave up after page 3.

Thanks

Okay, 6 eps into Season 1 of THE 100 and I'm full on fucking hooked now. This show is damned good, you guys are totally right!

Glad to hear you're enjoying it; I thought you would.

Hopefully ur recording S3 so you can catch up after 2 seasons on Netflix and not have to wait a yr for s3 there.

I will second this! We had to wait for S2 to be released on Netflix as we discovered the show a little too late to watch it, even on the CW's site. By the time we finished our S1 binge, CW was only showing S 2 in review. It sucked having to wait the few months for it.

[QuickTidal]

Actually, in Canada S3 is showing up on Netflix on the same night the new eps air, so I luck out (S3 ep 1 is already up on Cdn Netflix)!

[Tiste Simeon]

Just finished season 2 of Brooklyn 99 and now we'll have to wait for ages for S3 to hit Netflix.

Wow. That's luck

I think it's because we don't have a proper CW station here in Canada. Most of the CW shows are picked up and run by other networks...so Netflix likely made a deal with the CW to act like the station that airs it here. It comes up under the Netflix logo and everything each episode.

EDIT:

Spoilers for S1 Ep5

Spoiler

Okay, so the scenes at the end of this ep while the 100 on the ground are trying to use Raven's rocket fuel to notify the station above that they are alive, and the station is simultaneously going through with its purge of the 320 citizens to conserve the air that's left...and that one redhead worker guy decides to volunteer so that his daughter has a chance at a full life... hugs his daughter one last time I got pretty emotional...and then when they go through with it and his finally passes out from lack of oxygen and her purple hair barrette tumbles out of his palm to the ground...I fucking cried sobbed. The fact that they got me to care about a bit part character to that level shows me that the writing is on point for this show. In any other show they might have had the rockets go off in time and the 320 people saved...but the fact that such a thing didn't happen proves that the writers room isn't looking for the easy outs of happy endings.

Also, how much baggage will Bellamy eventually carry for having thrown the radio away in the first place? That guy is a great guy and a born leader...but I gotta think that this is going to affect him...especially after what happened with Charlotte. He's a "protector" obviously since he only did what he did to stay with Octavia and look out for her. Will be interesting to see if they touch on that later this season.

So, I've watched a few episodes of Blacklist and I'm enjoying it. I did read here I think that the show takes a sharp dive in quality at some point, but that it gets back on its feet?

Yes. The season on tv right now, is imo, by far the best.

Just wait, QT, just wait. That won't be the only example of sacrifice and hard edged life and death choice...

I'm curious what the book the show is based on is like and how tightly this show sticks to it.

Anyone watch The Magicians pilot based on the books by Lev Grossman?

Got that to watch tonight when I get home.

It's on the dvr. May wait til I have a few eps in the can.

Watched it.


Am unimpressed on pretty much all points, acting, fx, story.

This wasn't a bad adaptation, it was bad tv.
