Is anyone watching The Americans and/or The Following?
I haven't started either, but I have definitely heard great things about The Americans. I have all of the episodes of The Following on the DVR, but yet to start it.

The Following is slightly different than I expected based on the original previews, but I like it a lot.Quote:

The Americans has been damn good. I have the DVR record it each week and usually try to watch it within 24 hours whenever I get the chance. I've really been enjoying it so far. I've been split between rooting for the FBI to catch the spies or for the spies to win. I can't decide which side I like best and want to see "win" during the course of the show. They've done a damn good job with the show.
Thanks for ruining it Smooth. Now I know so far that the FBI does not catch them when I go to watch the 1st episodes.... I might as well not even watch :(Quote:

Had to edit thy spoiler, I really need to start previewing my posts before hitting the old send button.
One other thing is the music in the opening scene and the rest of the episode is terrific. Just reeks the early 80's.
I especially loved that they use The Who and Eminence Front for one of the previews.

Have no clue why I have avoided the first season of American Horror Story. Watched the first two episodes and I am hooked. Please tell me it stays at this quality for the rest of the season.
Only gripe.

Yes! The whole season was awesome.Quote:

Just hit the two Halloween episodes and man do they love screwing with your mind. Really digging this. For those who enjoyed season one did you like season two? I do know that it is a different cast outside of a few actors playing different roles.
There are a lot of actors in the second season that are playing different roles. I really liked the second season. Not as good as the first, but still really good.Quote:

Agreed. The 2nd season was not nearly as good imo but still good.Quote:

Or Kate Mara.Quote:

The BBC version is superior but I am enjoying Elementary so far. It has definitely attracted a feminist crowd due to Watson being a woman. I am interested in who they choose to play Moriarty. If they go with anything that is not Male and British, I might take a different tone.Quote:

Except the fuckers are killing off Fox Soccer Channel to give FXX a home. That already instantly makes me hate this plan.Quote:

Yeah same thing with the SPEED Network.Quote:

Right now everything from 1201 to 1209 (FX being 1205) in the HD channel range is taken. Next free channel isn't until 1210. SPEED meanwhile is 1317 and Fox Soccer is 1318.Quote:

If they're moving The League to it (that and the Americans being about the only FX series that I watch right now) and they try to make it a subscription channel, I'm gonna be pissed.
Um, Smooth, the Premier League is moving to NBC Sports next season. They are claiming that they will have every match live - either by streaming or on the NBC family of networks. :)

Huh, I hadn't heard that. While I watch soccer and follow the tables of various leagues, I don't keep up with the details too much in the broadcasting of it, but that's good to hear. NBC is setting themselves up nicely. The fucktards at ESPN pretty much don't even acknowledge that hockey exists outside of the playoffs/Stanley Cup and about the only time you can find soccer is on Saturday morning or big international matches.Quote:

ESPN is becoming more and more worthless for me. About the only thing worth a damn anymore on the ESPN network is the NFL Draft.

Been enjoying the first few episodes of these two shows:

Usually tv series of classic horror flicks aren't very good. These haven't disappointed...so far...
Have not watched Bates Motel but I have watched the first two episodes of Hannibal. Not liking the choice for Hannibal but he may grow on me. Hannibal (Hopkins) is man of charm and the guy they have playing him is a little dry.
Just FYI to the others, first episode is free on Prime.
Bates Motel is pretty good... Does a really good job of showing you why the 'Psycho' Norman is so messed up. Right now it almost feels like they didn't expect to last more than a season so it will be interesting how they carry it forward.
Sunday nights seem to have a hole in them without The Walking Dead.
My thoughts exactly.Quote:
