Recently watched through the Hannibal tv series (recently as in, spanning from January this year to like, June) and I fuckin loved it. I didn't think I was gonna enjoy it as much as I did. The way it progresses from feeling like a typical crime drama with some odd aspects to what it eventually becomes (especially in season 3) was so neat to see unfold. There are some things about it I'm not too crazy about (some of the killers of the week, like the guy who did the mural of corpses, seemed a little out of place, plus having so many killers in general felt like it lessened the impact of characters like Dolarhyde. But, overall. Enjoyed it big time.

i watched the first two series of Westworld. i thought it was fucking brilliant. there's some parts that are a bit cliche but it's got great characters and story. it's got anthony hopkins and ed harris in it. i always remember ed harris from that movie The Rock. tacky film but the rogue general guy he played in it was fucking cool. he plays a great character in this too.
now i've watched everything they've released i'm left wanting more, so i'll just have to wait until they make the third series which could be a year or more, there's no date. i'm impatient though, it's been a long time since i've felt like this about a TV show. i'm addicted to Westworld. honestly, watch it. it's great. then talk to me about it because god damn i need someone to talk it over with. |
I need to watch Westworld, I've heard good things elsewhere too. I saw the original film, but I have a feeling that the series is only loosely related.
I watched the last couple of series of Trailer Park Boys (I'm a bit late). I need to see the rest, that was hilarious. I also decided to see what Bojack Horseman was all about. Ended up binging it and finishing it in probably less than 2 weeks... highly anticipate another series. I need my fix of grim comedy, and nothing's filling that hole currently. |

the new Westworld is bigger and a little grim too. there are some corny parts and like i say some cliche shit but that's me trying to criticize it, it's mostly good stuff. some of the people there literally treat it like a computer game and go around killing everyone. you do it in games when you kill some guy just because they were annoying you or because they're no more use since you know it'll have no consequences, but in this place the bots look real so if someone does that it's like they've just killed a real person. it's just an interesting premise. :
i also wholly intend to watch the fuck out of Bojack i just haven't got around to it. people have praised it. |

Also, consider watching Moral Orel. First series was a bit slow at points, but that just gets funnier and funnier as it becomes more and more grim. |
oh cool i'll add Moral Orel to my

I've been going on about Westworld since I watched both seasons for the first time about a month ago.
Season 2 definitely had a different vibe to Season 1, but they were both fantastic and very very rewatchable. Based on the premise alone you can think of lots of ways the show could progress and half the fun is just trying to figure out what's going on. I've calmed down now but for a while I couldn't stop raving about it. Current weekly watch is Who Is America? which everyone must have heard about by now. Love seeing fresh oc Sacha. |

I assume season 3 will be a while away, so I'll rewatch them just before it comes out. With Season 2 all the mindless violence got a bit tiring but as you say, it was great to see those progressions and Delos and Man in Black. I also loved seeing the real world and that they take the hosts out! Wasn't expecting that but it makes sense.

yeah i was surprised they take the hosts out. i heard something at some point about them being fitted with an explosive in the base of the spine that goes off if they leave the park so i was confused, but maybe they can just deactivate it or something.

I've been watching Spartacus on Netflix. Man, that show is utterly fantastic.
It is like Game of Thrones but with a hefty amount of cheese mixed in and with almost no pretence of trying to be arty. Its just Grade A schlock but in the most enjoyable way possible. |
