Episode 1: Pilot
Episode 2: Fastest Man Alive
I came across this show, and despite never having read any comics of The Flash, I thought that I might give it a try. I was expecting it to be all dark and gritty, but was surprised to find it more balanced in tone.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to watch the first season when it aired in France, due to the late hours TF1 (those smegheads !) aired it. Frankly, I don't undrstand them, cutting themselves from the target audience of the show (just like for Arrow, BTW : first season airing at 11 pm, second season airing at 9 pm, third season at 11 pm. Go figure !).
Watching the first season I liked it well enough but I just kept thinking,"it's Batman without Batman." That's what kept me from really loving the show. We're only two episodes in for season two and I don't really think that anymore, so I'm really looking forward to this season.
Minority Report
This is a continuation of the Tom Cruise movie but it doesn't have Cruise or his character. The first episode was decent but episode two was actually pretty good. If you love sci-fi I recommend it.
A short and sweet 2 parter from 1965, that serves as an introduction to the new companion, Vicki (one of the more overlooked companions), played by Maureen O'Brien.
On Netflix.
Now that Wes Craven has gone, this is a bittersweet viewing, but at least we got something great from him again.
It shows nicely how the youth of today ticks concerning social media. Quite frightening actually, probably more frightening than the killings!
Ok, now you've made me more interested.
It's becoming increasingly a gamble these days investing times in British detective drama's (Broadchurch 2). My Wife and I only just recently subjected ourselves to From Darkness, so bad we skipped the last episode as I became so ground down by every detective show cliche put on on display so it was with some trepidation that we decided to invest in River.
Though from the very first episode we were hooked, an interesting take on the genre but with a heart and not usual cynical air you come to expect. Anchored by a terrific performance from Stellan Skarsgård with great support from Nicola Walker, Lesley Manville and Utopia's very own Wilson Wilson Adeel Akhtar.
I did worry though would it keep it's head till the end and not enter down the well worn cliched cop out ending but River kept it's dignity till the end and it's conclusion made perfect poignant sense.
One last thing though in this it's so good we must have more culture we live in, please just leave it at one, it says all it has to more would just cheapen it.
The Good Wife has been a favorite for years. I see they have added Jeffrey Dean Morgan to the cast. Maybe you remember him from Supernatural and Extant. He may be a love interest for her. Many of my lady friends think he is drop dead sexy. We'll see.
So much fun, so much socio/political commentary, so much ahead of its time....
I'm pumped for this, as Krysten Ritter is one cool chick and the actor they picked for Luke Cage is perfect, right off the comic's page.
I'm loving the response to the show so far; It makes me eager to jump in. I guess I'll ask you as you're now online, @Master_Dahark, should I rewatch Daredevil to brush up on what's already happened around/in Hell's Kitchen, or would I be okay just jumping into JJ?
You should be just fine diving right on in- but still check out DareDevil, if for no other reason than it's awesome ;)
I understand that once DareDevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and finally Iron Fist have their own shows, there will be an 'Avengers' style team up show called 'Defenders'.
Not sure when that will be , since DareDevil has his own Season 2 right around the corner-- with The Punisher guest starring(!)
Wow what a time to be alive!
*edit: haha I misread, you saw DareDevil already! No need to brush up, enjoy Jessica Jones!
My objective: True Detective, Sherlock (I've only seen season 1) House of Cards, Hannibal, Bates Motel, Strike Back, The Americans, Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Penny Dreadful, Fargo, Ray Donovan, Better Call Saul, Longmire, Legends, The Knick, Peaky Blinders, Orange is the new Black, Orphan Black, Vikings, Sense8, Marco Polo.
Do you have a Netflix account, @DaltonCraig007? If so, you'll be putting it to good use coming up, as many of the shows you've listed are exclusive to the service. True Detective will blow your mind, you'll love Daredevil if you are a fan of superhero dramas, Sherlock is beyond amazing and of course you already know how strongly I love Longmire.
I watched DA a few weeks ago too. It's a shame that Alba seems to have a less than enthusiastic view on the show. That would kill any chance return as Max... :-\"
Having recently picked up a copy of The Ambassadors Of Death, lately I have been working though the Jon Pertwee, 3rd Doctor era. The last I watched was episodes 1 & 2 of The Mind Of Evil.
1. Inferno
2. Doctor Who And The Silurians
3. Terror Of The Autons
4. Spearhead From Space
5. The Ambassadors Of Death
There's a chance that by the time I get to Planet Of The Spiders that Pertwee might move up my Doctor ranking (4 up to 3, and Smith 3 down to 4).
@0BradyM0Bondfanatic7 I susbcribed to Netflix soon after the service was available in France. I still buy Blu Ray's for my movie collection, but for TV shows Netflix is simply fantastic. An endless amount of gems are featured on it.
Their original content has really impressed me. Their programs are equal or even superior to much of what is on TV.
I've seen 'Narcos' a month ago. One of the best TV shows I've ever seen.
Just wait! It gets better and better and the ending certainly doesn't disappoint. Even thinking about it makes me want to sit down and watch all eight episodes in a row (I've done this twice now, and I love it every time.)
