Mexal Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 What about HBO? Leftovers season II and that's it? By most popular show were you talking about AMC's Breaking Bad? The Night Manager is scheduled for 2016 apparently. As is Preacher. The Walking Dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEyedGhost Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 What about HBO? Leftovers season II and that's it? By most popular show were you talking about AMC's Breaking Bad? The Night Manager is scheduled for 2016 apparently. As is Preacher. HBO's been extremely disappointing lately for me, I only made it 4.5 episodes into The Leftovers, so I don't even have season 2 of that to look forward to. Hopefully Westworld will be good, because it's the only upcoming HBO show that I'm interested in watching at this point. It is nearly 2016 ;) The Walking Dead. Bingo.

Calibandar Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Walking Dead, didn't even consider it as I lost interest in that one years ago. Still going strong in ratings I guess.What is cool though is that Preacher and American Gods are currently both slated to arrive in 2016. Hopefuly Fuller will make that target date. I guess that Westworld plus Game of Thrones season 6 are the series I am currently most interested in. Though I may not watch season 6 until Winds of Winter is out...

I'll watch season 6, get spoiled where I'm spoiled and see what is different with what Martin does in TWOW. I just have no expectation TWOW will ever come out.

And I may not be able to hold out watching once season 6 does come around.It is going to contain so many massive spoilers though.If Martin looks like he will publish in 2016, I will hold. If not, I will just watch it and see Winds whenever it comes out. Now would be time for George to positively surprise though, I'd much rather read the novel first.

RedEyedGhost Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Yeah I don't think I can not watch season 6. I, too, would much rather read the novel first, but... George really dropped the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Tiger Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 If i've learned anything about myself, it's that id rather see something NOT get made rather than be given an uninspired, boring product. So if TWOW never comes out cause George can't be inspired to do it, so be it, plenty of other good authors out there. Black Sails, be here soon.

Mexal Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Has anyone seen Blindspot with Sullivan Stapleton and Jaimie Alexander? Is it good?It's fine. Nothing special.

drawkcabi Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 For anyone who liked "er" in the early years, watch Code Black. It's really an excellent medical show, I think the true successor to er. I can't recommend it enough.For comparison I watched the premiere of Chicago Med last week and it seemed to take most of what made er corny and tedious in the later seasons and just continue with that.

I can't recommend it enough.For comparison I watched the premiere of Chicago Med last week and it seemed to take most of what made er corny and tedious in the later seasons and just continue with that. I still haven't seen "Chicago Med", but I agree on "Code Black"... It is truly great medical show. It perhaps lacks a bit of dynamics you would expect of an ER in code black but it truly shows how mundane the job can be. And the thing is that this is the first "real" medical show in quite some time. Greys anatomy is soap-opera happening in hospital, "House M.D." was Sherlockesque show with bigger-than-life personality of Gregory House. "Code Black" on the other hand is mostly about the medicine. And I like that.As for the new shows this year, the best would be: Jessica Jones, Masters of None and I am still deciding on Limitless, Quantico and Flesh and Bone.

AncalagonTheBlack Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share Posted November 25, 2015 EXCLUSIVE: HBO Eyes J.K. Rowling’s New BBC Series ‘The Cormoran Strike Mysteries’HBO is set to re-team with the BBC for a new J.K. Rowling drama. Sources tell TVWise that the premium cable network is circling BBC One’s The Cormoran Strike Mysteries, based on the Harry Potter author’s Cormoran Strike novel series (published under the pen name Robert Galbraith), with plans to board as a co-producer.Assuming the deal closes and HBO does in fact board as a co-producer (sources close to the project tell me that they will), this would mark the second such BBC drama from Rowling that the network has co-produced. Last year, just as pre-production was getting into full swing, HBO signed on to co-produce the three-part adaptation of Rowling’s The Casual Vacancy. Representatives of HBO did not immediately respond to TVWise’s request for comment.The drama series, which is eyed for a 2016 premiere, is based on the first two Cormoran Strike novels, The Cuckoo’s Calling and The Silkworm. BBC's Troy: The Fall of a City The BBC will seek to rival the acclaimed fantasy drama Game of Thrones with its own swords and sandals epic retelling the 10-year siege of Troy.The new drama is expected to air next year.Troy: Fall Of A City is described as a “visceral retelling” of the Trojan war and a “drama for our times” unlike anything seen before on BBC1.The post-watershed series will also be one of the corporation’s most expensive, with a price tag of about £2m an episode, met by both the BBC and the drama’s co-production partners.

Calibandar Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Both Taboo and Troy Fall of a City look very interesting at this point.War and Peace is the next big one from the beeb I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HexMachina Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 EXCLUSIVE: HBO Eyes J.K. Rowling’s New BBC Series ‘The Cormoran Strike Mysteries’ BBC's Troy: The Fall of a City Hmm, wasn't The Last Kingdom also advertised in comparison with GoT? Or was that just unofficial media and so on? Either way, looks interesting. Looking forward to A Midsummer Nights Dream that is also mentioned in the article. BBC are pretty good with things like that. Actually as a whole bBC have had some great stuff this year,especially their miniseries that have been on recently. Amd of course, eagerly anticipating War and Peace! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
