Season 2 is so much better. I almost quit watching, glad I stuck it through.

I liked season one, but I agree. Season two is better.

I will say I hated how they finished the last week's episode. I didn't watch last night so I can't comment but:

Spoiler: show

I was glad when Barbara fell out of the window thinking that her storyline and any chance at reconnection with Jim was over... but then at the end of the episode "doh, she fell on some bushes".

Spoiler: show

I can live with the twists and changes to characters and storyline, but I'm not seeing how they get back to a point where Barbara and Jim reunite. Sure, he has feelings for her but how does she escape the rap for her crimes?

I almost thought they were teasing her as Harley Quinn to Jerome's Joker, especially when they were holding the crowd hostage for Galavan to save the day. (Also thought Lee was going to bite the big one there. Picked the wrong person to die.)

I agree....that death tease followed by "oh, she's fine" was pretty weak.

I think you do see her as Harley Quinn. I think the Joker is still alive as well. Joker is currently at Indian Hill and Barbara will be there soon too. They keep showing stuff relating to the Joker way too much for me to believe that he is gone. Just this past episode, the beginning scene.

The Man In The High Castle debuts on Amazon Friday. I previewed the pilot a long time ago and it was good. It's set in an alternate US where Japan controls the west, Russia controls the midwest to the east and there is a neutral territory in between.

The Bastard Executioner canceled after one year. Never watched it - was it any good?

[SmoothPancakes]

And this is why I almost never give any new show a chance anymore. Because every time I do, the cunts cancel it, completely wasting all my past time invested spent watching it.

As for me, I thought it was good. A lot if people never gave it a chance. The first episode was two hours long. The first hour was pretty slow, more character and plot building than anything. Little action, blood or fighting. That turned a lot of people off. The amount of comments over on OS of people who quit watching the pilot not even 15 or 30 minutes into a two hour episode was astounding.

It was just getting damn good. After that first hour, it's been plenty of action, blood, torture, fighting, etc since. But because people couldn't pull their heads out of their inattentive asses for more than 30 minutes because heaven forbid anybody have an attention span anymore these days, this show never got a chance.

And I'm right back to not even wasting my time even trying to give new shows a chance because every show I take an interest in just ends up cancelled and my time wasted. The networks can blow me.

Watched the first episode, liked it, but during football season my DVR gets clogged so I gave up on it.

The full 10-episode marathon of Mr. Robot is tonight starting at 10 central (I think) on USA so set your DVR if you haven't caught it yet.

Nice! Thanks for the heads-up. BTW, appears they are showing episode one twice in a row to start the marathon.

Also begins again at 11 AM CT tomorrow.

Heard good things about it, so I'll be recording.

I started on Hulu with the first couple of episodes, but the show has disappeared so this is great.

Tonight 9:00 Est on PBS. Sherlock goes back in time, well, technically back to when he was created.



Now they need to start filming for season 4!

[cdj]

Seven episodes in (out of ten) on Mr. Robot.

I like it, but still not sure what is truly going on.

My biggest guess (that came about during episodes three and four and hasn't faded away):

Spoiler: show

Mr. Robot (Christian Slater's character) isn't real. It's a manifestation of Elliott's mind/split-personality.

That was my guess too and I'm about 3 or 4 in

Looking forward to Saul again!

[bdoughty]

Same here, Saul and Mike were my two favorite characters in BB.

Is it wrong that I like iZombie? Feels like a teenie-bopper show but I can't stop watching it. Kind of like my enjoyment of the show Reign and who it is geared toward, obviously not historians. Maybe because I watch so many British TV shows I need to numb my brain.

Have you finished the season yet? Curious to know your thoughts by the end of it. I'm re-watching through it and I'm up to Episode 5.

Yes, sir. Binge-watched that weekend.

I was able to predict the big 'twists' of Mr. Robot being his dad and in his mind, but didn't figure out the sister thing until they kissed. As soon as he hesitated then did it, I realized it.

I really like the show as it's probably one of the more clever on TV right now. I don't know if it lived up to the hype I heard from people who watched it, but it is good.

I'm not sure what kind of 'deal' Elliot/Mr Robot struck with Tyrell. I am assuming Tyrell is alive and hiding out somewhere. It seems like his wife is crazier than him and maybe the real mastermind behind what he was doing. I think the shrink's ex is lying about talking to or working with the police but will be trying to get payback on Elliott for catching him and taking his dog.

Two shows that caught my attention that I am currently watching.

Superstore

It's hilarious to me and can't help but think they are partially making fun of Walmart. Watched the first 3 episodes on demand before it officially started this month.

Colony

Believe it premiered lastnight. Seen a preview for it the other night and thought it looked interesting but didn't know when it was coming on. Happened to flip through the channels and catch it when it was almost over but was able to start it over. Has Rick's wife from Walking Dead in it. Was unsure about it initially but it looks like it's going to be interesting.
