Re: TV: The Golden Era Reborn

NatGeo IIRC.

A few of their specials have been real duds lately so I didn't want to invest the time.

I loved the book by Walter Isaacson but wasn't sure how I'd like the show.

The first episode is great. Trust me.
 
Re: TV: The Golden Era Reborn

The series finale of the Leftovers is the best finale I've ever seen. Just so well done.
This series is now in my top 10 of all time.

House Of Cards:

5 eps into the new season. Yeah, keep yourself strapped in, folks. Although if they DO drag the particular event in question more than an episode or more? It's starting to get a LITTLE thin. Get us the result, and keep this train rolling.

And Vicious Doug is the best Doug. Hints of not Vicious Doug...no, leave that alone.

I'm Dying Up Here. Jim Carey inspired Showtime series about the early 70's LA Comedy Scene. Haven't seen EP 2 yet, but if EP 1 is any indication this should be dark, funny, inspiring and maddening all in one.
 
Re: TV: The Golden Era Reborn

I liked it...but it suffers from what a lot of these shows suffer from...prolonged shots of nothing where people just look at things and say nothing. There is a lot of empty space which made the show seem longer than it actually was.

Everything else though (about 85%) was awesome!

House Of Cards

Yeah, baby. Getting into some really good stuff now. Only complaint? What is with that weird out-of-storyline stuff that happened with the Civil War dude, that also happened with the Secret Service guy? I really don't get the angle or "vision" that the show has. It's so out of place.
 
Re: TV: The Golden Era Reborn

Finally finished Feud. The last episode was uneven, careening from mawkish to genuinely poignant. It's as if they didn't know how to finish so they doubled back to the meat.

All in all, though, an extremely good series and the Curse of Irwin Allen on them if bug eyes doesn't get her Emmy.

This would be great.

Season 2 of Queen of the South starts tonight.

That is on my queue, heard good things.

House Of Cards:

Just finished tonight. I will say the second to last episode: HOLY EFFING SH*! The finale is almost like the morning after a night of passion. The second to last episode is amazing.
 
Re: TV: The Golden Era Reborn

So this week's Fargo was incredible on multiple levels.

The brutality and loneliness of the woods clearing scene were really done well.

Then they walked into that goddam bowling alley. My jaw actually dropped. I loved that they went so explicitly The Big Lebowski".

I didn't know that the guy playing the cowboy was from Twin Peaks. But that just made it even better. The show really is a nod to Twin Peaks with its madness.

I still think Peter and the Wolf is my favorite episode so far though.

Re: TV: The Golden Era Reborn

Yup, Cube is spot on.

Yup.

I had ONE black friend, only one, tell me, actually INSIST, that when I refer to him, I call him "my n*a." And I still didn't want to do it. You just don't use that word if you're white.
