It dominated on Friday no doubt about that but the show itself is a dud. I expect a huge drop in viewership next week but I'm glad YOU enjoyed it.
I ask myself the same question regarding 'The Walking Dead.' I knew bothering with this spinoff would be a bad idea, the trailers told me all I needed to know.
I quit after season three (turned into a dull soap opera), returned when season six was firing up and gave it another chance. I'll try and stick with it once it premieres again, but this latest season was rather disappointing. Once I give up on the show again, I'll be done for good this time.
Hell yes! Gomorrah is awesome. Best series I saw last year. The first season is better than the second. The music, the performances and the cinematography are outstanding. My girlfriend is Italian so we watched this as soon as it came out. I was in Italy for a month when the second season started and it's more popular than game of thrones there. Many phrases from the show have become sayings, especially around Napoli where it is set (and where my girlfriend is from). It's brutal and unpredictable.
I hear you. I want to kick Chris in the face. I can't stand that little shit. Worst character ever.
I don't see the appeal of it, personally, but it's never been my kind of thing anyway. Same with Game of Thrones.
I thought you'd like GoT. Have you watched any episodes?
On another note, I'm watching Luke Cage and this show is amazing; much better than what I was expecting. Marvel/Netflix have another huge hit.
It wouldn't be for me, nor do I care to get into it. There's so much more worthwhile stuff out there for me that doesn't get shoved down my throat by the entire world and that I can enjoy without worrying about being spoiled after each episode.
I'm pretty knowledgable on GoT simply because so much of it has been spoiled for me through hearing other people talk about it or by reading the spoilers in headlines on random internet pages. It's for the best though, as those spoilers successfully put me off of it.
Maybe I'll watch it a long time from now, after everyone's quit going on about it like it's the second coming in TV form. I did that with Breaking Bad, and it was far more satisfying for me to just binge it and not have to wait, wait, wait all the time for episodes.
oh Doubleego about that dud yes we did see a drop of 1 million people from last week to this we also are still LAPPING the competition by 6 million people... so yeah still think its a dud are will you except defeat.
SPEN-SAAAAAAAAAAAA! Classic mid-eighties detective series with Robert Urich as the Boston private eye and Avery Brooks as Hawk- his hired enforcer buddy. Like the current Tom Selleck Jessie Stone series this was based on a series of books by Robert P Parker.
Parker's writing was clearly an homage to Chandler's Philip Marlowe books. Both detectives share a smart ass wit. Having grown up on this show I was more than thrilled a couple years ago when it was finally released on demand to DVD. Needless to say, I bought all three seasons as soon as they came out.
Tonight I popped in a first season episode.
Edited: On ep 4 Luke Cage is a awesome show, love the soundtrack any show that plays Wutangs Bring the Ruckus during a awesome action scene is over with me.
Also, watched the first 7 episodes of Season 2 of Daredevil. Not grabbed me in the way that Season 1 did but still 6 episodes to go so we'll see. I do think Jon Bernthal is a nice fit as The Punisher though.
The Punisher will be my favorite show once it comes out, I know it!!
Let me know what you think of Luke Cage- I'm only 4 episodes in so far, but I mentioned on another forum that it wasn't blowing me away so far and was immediately labeled a racist, lol 8-}
Yep, Frank Castle is great and I think Bernthal is a perfect fit, I really do.
I'll be on to Luke Cage as soon as I'm done with Daredevil. Can't believe that you've been labeled a racist all because you don't find the show as good as others. How ridiculous, it really is. Obviously, you HAVE to enjoy it because the character is black. The world is going mad, I tell ya, mad.
Now for me, this show is better than season1 of both DD and JJ and the latter half of DD season 2. Misty Knight is probably the best written and acted character out of the Marvel/Netflix shows. She was a real standout for me. Simone Missick was just phenomenal in this, particularly during her psych evaluation and when she lost it with both Claire and Mariah at separate times at the police station. This show managed to be topical, socially relevant and entertaining simultaneously, with a hero worth rooting for and a handful of interesting and compelling villains, and easily by far, the best representation of women in any superhero show or movie for that mstter.
The fight choreography in this isn't as "flashy" as DD's so in that they need to improve but tge fights/action were still great to watc; but with everything else the show offers of black culture and roots in historical fact and people (Pappy Mason, Azie Faison, Donald Goines novels, Dapper Dan and Fab 5 Freddy) this show definitely gets elevated to the point where the show's flaws are relegated to minor nitpicks and is a show that is by far the most authentic of the Marvel/Netflix offerings. Really loved the references to the 70s blaxploitation era and the soundtrack is bloody amazing. There's a lot of depth to this show and I can't wait to rewatch this.
Based on what I've seen so far, I recommend this show.
Kiefer is perfect in the role, and it's a nice counter to House of Cards, with a top man here with integrity who 'fell into it' rather than an ambitious shark who did everything to get there in the Netflix series.
