Red Tiger Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I tried Arrested Development and didn't really enjoy it. I only watched a few episodes but I wasn't interested at all. Same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Antony Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I love the first run of Arrested Development. But the fourth season honestly puts a sour taste in my mouth when I think about the show it was just so bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorral Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 [spoiler] I used to have a similar vague impression that the internal Viking politics were often not compelling. Ideally things would now be better because there are external enemies, when they're not doing random shit. It's a vague impression, one I'll have to go back to the series to flesh out again. [/spoiler] Speaking of period shows: I'm currently rewatching Canal's Borgia- not the Jeremy Irons one- and am enjoying it immensely once again. I still find that Cesare Borgia's and Louis XII's relationship is one of the more amusing ones in historical fiction. [spoiler] Bromance for days[/spoiler] Cesare's generally insanity is hitting its stride now and, while it seems to have taken everything positive from Machiavelli's characterisation of him (this also feeds into the Louis XII relationship) and just added even more to it, it's too entertaining to be goofy. Once I'm done I'll probably rewatch the Showtime version, for comparison's sake, even though from what I can remember I enjoyed it less. If I had thought of it earlier I might have watched one episode from each at a time, or at least do one season for each show. Alas. I liked this Borgia very much as well. Though there was one thing, though it was probably authentic historically, whether or not it was intentional of the writers and producer Tom Fontana -- the latter of whom by the was are David Simon's mentor via the brilliant Homicide: Life On the Streets series also set in Baltimore -- [spoiler]the enthusiastic salacious, lascivity with which overweight John Doman, Rodrigo "the Pope" Borgia -- he who played the treacherous, corrupt William Rawls in The Wire -- leaped into naked sex scenes with those very young gorgeous women -- though surely authentic it was also creepy, very much so.[/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nictarion Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Seinfeld, It's Always Sunny, Trailer Park Boys, & The Simpsons (seasons 3-7) would probably be my favorites as far as comedies go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Tiger Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I fucking hated Seinfeld. Loved South Park when I was younger and I still like it. Simpsons used to be awesome too, still love the episode where Bart studies all night and then cries when he fails the test. Heartbreaking, yet beautiful.

Ramsay B. Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 And so do the majority of the people that bitch about it. :rolleyes:Who doesn't wanna see how they ruin Euron? So I rewatched Carnivale season 1 and it holds up. I haven't seen it since if first aired in 2003 but I enjoyed it all the same. The music, settings and visuals are great, as is the whole cast basically. Clancy Brown and Amy Madigan are brilliant, their creepy relationship and motives really make the show. It is a slow burn and, unfortunately, only got 2 seasons so I can see why some people don't give it a chance but it is another HBO gem. I'm well into season 2 again, awesome show.

Funny that you mention that, cause the only way I was gonna go back to watching it is if Mads played him. Oh well. Will check out Carnivale, heard great things.

Damn shame it didn't get a longer run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that they originally wanted a 6 year run for Carnivale which seems a little long. I can maybe see 3 or 4 years but I don't know how they would've stretched that for 6 seasons.

Red Tiger Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 You brought up GoT Season 6...:facepalm: Yeah and I said I wasn't watching it, so that basically means the Iron Islands automatically dont apply here. Which makes you bringing up stuff that'll happen in season 6 even more facepalm-worthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Bauer 24 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Yeah and I said I wasn't watching it, so that basically means the Iron Islands dont apply here. Yes and I was saying you should because of the Iron Islands. You're more than welcome to wait for ADoS though (it's never coming). You also don't like Seinfeld though, so... Anyway, looking for a good horror movie to watch. Recently seen It Follows, Occulus, You're Next, The Crazies, and Trick 'R Treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
