Vikings might have fallen faster, but Dexter's fall is the most overwhelming off all time. Dexter will always be the bench mark of when a great show goes to hell. 2 hours ago, BigFatCoward said: I basically forbid my missus to watch anything other than s1 of dexter just to prevent disappointment. Why not allow at least season 2? Honestly I tell people to watch the first 4 seasons and pretend that's where it ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martini Sigil Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I love the topic "Which show went into the crapper the hardest, SoA, Dexter or Vikings?"....lol.... for my money SoA was the most laughably bad at the end... Kurt Sutter was never a good writer.... he had a good idea, and it lasted a little while.... but it got bad quickly... and was like a parody of itself at the end, topped off with that atrocious after-talk-show, which was extremely painful to watch.... At least Dexter gave us 4 good seasons... and Vikings, well, is Vikings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argonath Diver Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Throw in another chit to the Four Solid-to-Great Seasons of Dexter pile. I kept going a few seasons after that, mostly due to a series-long crush on Jennifer Carpenter. I regret it. I've cancelled both Netflix and Amazon Prime for now. I won't be ordering much for the next few months, and I've no series interesting me until Stranger Things. This is easily the least TV/streaming I've watched since I was a boy not allowed to come inside until dinner and/or twilight. I still catch my Cardinals games, but that's about it. Feels pretty good.

Never watched SoA, but maybe he just wasn’t cut out to be a showrunner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Season three isn't great, but four is awesome and has a fantastic ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't make it past the second episode of Sons of Anarchy, so... it must have turned into proper shit. Heroes might take the crown, but I've long wondered if season 1 wasn't really that good, and that it just hit at the right time. I have zero desire to go back and rewatch it though, so I won't be testing that theory. Heroes is one of those what-ifs for me. I really enjoyed the first season, but unfortunately it ran into the writers" strike during its second season. I would like to think the second season would've been as enjoyable as the first had it not been for that strike. Not saying Heroes was a masterpiece by any means. It was fun though. I never could get into SOA because Hunnam was laughably unbelievable as a biker. My only other attempt at Sutter was The Bastard Executioner. Done.

But wasn't season 2 shit from the beginning? Which was Sept of '07, and the strike didn't happen until Nov '07, so the majority of that shortened season was already in the can. It has been a long time, and I have tried to block it from my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartofice Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Heroes was shit from the very beginning, we just never realised it because it hinted at being really great. It was all set up to something amazing, but the amazing never came. Apart from Hiro, it was full of annoying characters and bad acting. We all got duped.

I can't remember. I was living overseas at the time and was only able to catch up on the series later. I should have never caught up. I finished the penultimate episode of Kingdom last night. Overall I'm enjoying it but the zombie attacks are too damn repetitive. They've become tiresome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mexal Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Episode 5 of Warrior was fucking awesome. Perfect side track from the main plots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsay B. Posted May 4, 2019 Author Share Posted May 4, 2019 I saw Arctic with Mads Mikkelsen. It’s pretty good and worth a go. He’s great per usual despite there being barely any dialogue. I was talking a lot during it so I may have to watch it again though. I may have missed some minor stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astromech Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 The season finale of Kingdom ended with a great twist. Looking forward to s2(fingers crossed). The zombie attacks were repetitive but the overall story captured and held my interest. Still have to catch up on the latest episodes of Warrior and Killing Eve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's quite a simple film. Watched John Wick 2 last night. Would still really love to know what % of elastane he has in his trousers. I had a pair of jeans once that were 3% elastane and they were quite weirdly stretchy (my usual Levis are 1% and that is perfect for me, I can do squats in them comfortably).

ESPOMAN Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Finished rewatching Six Feet Under again. It is probably my favorite TV Show. I really like the characters and Michael C. Hall is a really good actor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once in a while those one-off episodes in series are fantastic. The Blood and the Shit was a fun, bloody homage to the western genre. I'm an looking forward to each new episode of this series. It's simply entertaining. I can shut the brain off, not overthinking anything, and just enjoy the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't found time to fit it into my weekly viewing yet. I will probably first get to it in June during the Summer tv lull. It's easy enough to catch up on Showtime shows since their On Demand keeps all of the episodes for a season unlike say Starz which is way too finicky with episodes of its more popular series. I'm curious to see how the story progresses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I make fun of Showtime.... their on-demand is fantastic.... not only do they have everything in their library available, they put shows up for viewing the next day.... the Chi is one of their better shows....
