What TV shows are you watching? Part 3

[stonemonkts]

I stand by my use of the word.

Boss was great, stupendous, magnificent, astounding, and any other adjective you can think of that would annoy you.

And by the way, your point is moot since it is an apples and oranges comparison. Documentary versus scripted drama. Two wholly different things.

For what it's worth, I loved Burns' Civil War too. His brother's New York was also good. The War as well (WW2). Too bad he fucked up his Jazz documentary so painfully.

Burns' Civil War is equivalent to his "Jazz".


Actually, yet to see anything involving him that wasn't equivalent to "Jazz".

I see his name involved and I know it's sheeeeit! going in.

You're just not inured enough to his mawkish sentimental style. But some of the content is worthwhile nonetheless.

I'm intrigued by "Hannibal" having read Harris' books, but haven't watched even a single episode because I missed the first couple and hate to come in partway through. If they re-run it from the beginning at some point, fine. Otherwise I will buy the series on DVD when it's available.
"The Following" has seemed to have painted itself into a corner, apparently killing all three of the main characters at the end of the first season. Where to go, since I understand there is a new season coming up?? Did all three die? Did only one or two die? Did none of them die?
If the first option is true, then what????

I've been enjoying Hannibal. I have been a fan of the Danish actor playing the lead for several years. You can probably catch up if you go to the network's website and stream them. It really isn't a bad option, especially if you have decent headphones.

I watched like 15 minutes of "Girls" and asked my wife to please never watch it again in my presence. At least during our weekend prime TV watching/beer drinking time. Maybe I should have given it more of a chance but it just rubbed me the wrong way.

Hahaha. Classic. Don't bother giving it anything. It is putrid embarrassing stuff.

Just to add fuel to the fire...

Anytime I see Burns mentioned I think of this....especially the Matt Glaser part.

Re: "Hannibal" Thanks, stonemonkts. I do and I will.
The Danish actor playing Hannibal has been in several supporting roles in big productions, including one in the recent Bond film. Scary, yet strangely compelling actor.

[stonemonkts]

His work in Danish film is why I like him. Especially "Pusher".

Good to hear. I recently bought the "Pusher" trilogy and am yet to watch it.

The WGA's 101 Best Written TV shows. Like many of these types of lists....a good deal of WTF?

No spoilers, but funny reading the reaction to the last Game of Thrones episode from those that didn't read any of the books.

Also very funny watching the reactions:
