What TV Show's are you watching/looking forward to?

Just started watching S1 on Game of Thrones and it's up there with the best things I've watched.

Also, has anyone watched Vikings? With S2 coming out soon thinking about watching S1.
 
Just watched episode 8 of Game of Thrones season 4: the mountain and the viper. Superb episode, but the ending is certainly not for the squeamish. :eek:

Having read the books I know whats gonna happen and all, but I'm still itching to watch it! I made the mistake of promising the housemates that I'd wait for them :(
 
anybody watch Archer ? it's alright. Picked up watchin it again.
 
Hannibal is superb.
Very visually enticing, and always an excellent performance from Mikkelson.

do you find cannibalism er...erotic ? Just a totally random question, you know, just making conversation...
 
I watched the entirety of Vikings after applying to be an extra, and I found it pretty good. Some of the acting is dodgy but the scenery and premise is great. My main issue is that the main plot (the invasion or colonisation of England) goes nowhere because after a quick rape and a plunder they go back to Sweden to deal with far more boring affairs repeatedly.
I've found this season of GOT bar the first episode maybe to be the best so far. Especially for a book reader like me the stiff they did with Craster's Keep and that baby seen in particular were great and threw in the type of unpredictability I haven't had for a while. Danaerys' character has been made even more irritating than in the books, and her plot pretty much grinds to a halt from this point in. One of my least favourite POV characters.
 
Very interesting development in this episode of GoT.

Regarding Sansa, having her announce her identity to the Lords of the Vale and speeding up her plotline. Some potentially very interesting developments of this.

Also speeding up Theon's storyline which makes less of a difference imo.

Not the cannibalism. The colours used, mostly muted reds, browns, grayscale, etc, with others used to stand out or add distinction. Style of dress is formal, unique, not typical American style. Same with the rooms and sets. Hannibal's office very odd, a mixture of classic and modern, arranged straight and angular. The food scenes, when he does the cannibal stuff, is very focused, zoomed in camera shots and slow motion as he cooks.
 
I've watched three-and-a-half seasons of Parks and Recreation in five days. I'm probably some kind of monster, but I love it so much.

I thought the trial was extremely well done, haven't been happy with most stuff this season (compared to books) but I'm looking forward to the last two episodes, should be awesome. Also, dayum Missandei <3
 
I knew what would happen having read the book but it still made my stomach turn, was quite upset thought the casting was very well done.

exciting times.

well...there isn't much eroticism in there, but...I just don't like the actor. I saw him in James Bond and I have a problem with coldness. It annoys me. I understand he's exactly the sort of face you'd want for that role, and he's a cold-blooded psycho and all, but I've never seen coldness that didn't seem overdone, and I hate all things theatrical. If things don't look genuinely natural, it's crap to me. Hannibal (the series) seems to be that way. The film ("Silence of the lamps") was good because of the story and all...plus this looks too violent for its own good. A little bit of shock value there, no ?

I'm making a funniest scene compilation and releasing it soon. Will post it here. Some of it is downright HILARIOUS. But it gets less and less funny as it goes. Most of the stuff is from the first few seasons.

It didn't bother me too much, my Mrs was really upset watching it, but i just thought it looked like an old 80's horror movie - reminded me of the end of "raiders of the lost arc".


So TV Series i've been watching:

Arrow
Game of Thrones
The Following (first series was immense - second so so)
The Bridge - thought that was brilliant.
Luther - was great
Chicago Fire
Blacklist
Episodes - pretty funny.

Also re-watched The Sheild - the entire 7 series on my commute over the last few months, trashy but my god was the ending amazing.

Sure, yeah there is a bit. It's far from a perfect show, but I find it far more entertaining than the other things on TV. Not much for TV shows usually, I prefer films, unless something gets my interest.
 
Pedro Pascal really pulled that scene off with the taunting. Also despite expecting the ending for years it still made me physically sick. IMO best season yet, reflects the books really.
