I'm your ride or die friend for life. This show is amazing. Dark humor, brutal action, great character developments and some really sweet and touching moments between Ray and his daughter that don't feel sappy. His daughter is adorable and I usually hate kid actors. No single moment on the show is wasted. Damon Herriman is fantastic and so is Gary, a real and true friend.

I downloaded the first episode of season 1 late one night and thought screw it, it's less than 30 mins so I'll stay up and see what it's about. I binged the rest of the first season right then and there. Granted, it's about 2 to 2.5 hours total but it was 2 am already lol.

More people need to watch this show because it is better than whatever they're watching now. And it won't take 12 hours to get to the good stuff.

Please tell me you watched the episode this week.

It feels like I'm the only one on Earth who's seen it.

I was actually talking about last week (abduction). Gary was amazing last week, I loved that the show went that way. The speed and efficiency of Ray reaching out to his contacts to get everything done was fantastic, and I loved that the show had him lose his way to rage and frustration... After doing all the smart things first.

This week was good but paled to the stand out episodes. This was primarily fallout.

Oh got it. Yeah, that was filled with tension. I kind of guessed the girl was abducted as soon as he asked where she was but I didn't expect how the episode would play out. A nice touch was him smoking again. Plus, how the episode before the abduction one fed into his need to get her back, even moreso than him being a "righteous" criminal with a code and a father. Utterly brilliant and as I said before, Gary is a true bro. He was calm, cool, and got shit done but turned it up when he had to whereas Ray, as you noted, just lost it and lashed out at anyone he even thought might have been involved.

"Toys" is a word forever tainted to me now, lol. I also really enjoyed the toilet paper discussion! Just a little slice of life dialogue to lighten things up before everything got very, very dark.

Going back two episodes to the biker boss, "I'll see you in your dreams." Man.....that's the kind of writing that makes your soul burn. And I don't even think it was malicious....just a killer nodding to another killer and their previous conversation. Also, did you notice the guy with the biker boss a few episodes back when Ray was in sniper gear and scoping out the house?

I haven't been a huge fan of this show, even though it has had some admittedly brilliant moments. I've remained distantly attached, watching bits and pieces here and there.

Is it weird that Quentin's death hit me so hard, and it's impossible for me to watch that scene without feeling a phantom weight on my chest?

I'll probably make more of an effort with the new season.

I'm a big fan of THE MAGICIANS after season 1 and yeah there are some brilliant stuff in there, including Quentin's funeral scene. It was one of the finest moments on television for me. Made me love A-ha's "Take on Me" even more.

If you're talking about the guy Ray spared in last season's finale (holy CRAP what an episode), definitely.

Have you checked out Scott Ryan's iMDB page?

He plays Ray in a film (The Magician), does nothing for thirteen years, and then BAM, this epic series about Ray.

Yeah, I need to give that a watch sometime. Also, the director/asshole brother is Joel Edgerton's brother irl was surprising.

Currently watching a few show

prison break (for the first time ever, on s4. Amazing show)
Bates motel s1... meh nothing amazing so far tbh but its okay

Bad blood on Netflix.. s1 was fairly good s2 the female ruined it

Shooter s3. Better than s2 which I'd give 2/10. This season 5 at max. S1 was a solid 8

Still need to watch stranger things s3

Don't give up on Bates Motel trust me! I initially watched the first season because my wife liked it, by the 2nd season I was hooked and enjoyed it as much if not more than she did. It's a rare TV show that continues to improve with each passing season. The finale season was my favorite and I rarely if ever say that. They didnt drag the series out with exta filler seasons and it has one of the best modern day TV endings.

Frank Miller's SIN CITY TV Series in the Works from Legendary

Legendary TV has struck a deal with Sin City author Frank Miller to adapt the comics as a TV series.

The deal gives Legendary the rights to develop a series based on Miller's film noir-influenced comics, with the indie studio guaranteeing a first season for the show pending distribution with a network or streaming outlet. Robert Rodriguez, who directed the 2005 movie based on the comics, is close to a deal to executive produce.

The deal with Miller also calls for an animated prequel series based on the world of Sin City.

Miller and Rodriguez would executive produce the series along with Stephen L'Heureux, a producer of sequel film Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, and Silenn Thomas, CEO of Frank Miller Ink. A writer for the project is not yet attached.

Miller regained the film and TV rights to Sin City in 2018 following a settlement with Lantern Capital Partners. The latter had scooped up the rights to Sin City as part of The Weinstein Co.'s bankruptcy sale; Miller objected and worked out an agreement with Lantern to take back rights to a series and the first film (the settlement doesn't apply to A Dame to Kill For).

Should it go forward, the Sin City series would join a roster at Legendary TV that includes Amazon's The Expanse and Carnival Row, Netflix's Lost in Space and Hulu limited series The Looming Tower. The company is also behind HBO Max's Dune: The Sisterhood, an offshoot of the Dune film franchise Legendary will launch in December 2020. The series received a straight-to-series order from the WarnerMedia streamer in June.

Hulu announces Runaways will end after season 3.

 

[GtehMVP]

I also gave up The 100 early in the first season. I revisited it in the season one finale and season two premiere and was hooked ever since. Yes, you should give it another try, at least try to watch season 2. The story is much better from season 1.

Is Batman in Gotham now? I don't want to goole it in case of spoilers, though I'd like to know if Bruce has grown up to become Batman. I stopped watching after season 1, but always meant to get back into it

And I'm with you, the 100 gets so much better. It's rare to see a show, let alone one on the CW, with so many women kicking ass that isn't cringe. There are untold pieces of hot ass throughout each season too.

Love this chick

Raven is mint too,

I stopped season 5 after a few episodes for some reason, so now I have almost two full seasons to catch up on

There are a lot of great characters, like this sketch bag

and Zack Mcgowan's role, though he's usually great period. He would have been an excellent Geralt in the Witcher series, but I can understand why they wanted a bigger name

Gotham series has ended. They did a time jump at the series finale where Bruce is all grown up and is now Batman.

The 100 is good for a couple of seasons but you'll get sick and tired of it during the later seasons. Personally I am tired of the constant alliance switching plotlines.

Last week's Saturday Night Live hosted by Harry Styles was very good. Waaay better than the Chance the Rapper episode (dude should be banned from hosting, he was so cringey). Lots of good skits last week including my favorite one, "That's the Game." Hilarious.

Vikings Sequel Series VIKINGS: VALHALLA Moves from History to Netflix

History's longest-running scripted original will continue with a new series — but on Netflix. The streaming giant on Tuesday announced it has handed out a straight-to-series order for the drama Vikings: Valhalla, a continuation of creator Michael Hirst's show Vikings. Netflix has picked up a whopping 24 episodes of the series. It's unclear if those will be split into two, 12-episode seasons or air as a super-sized one.

Vikings: Valhalla picks up 100 years after the History series and dramatizes the adventures of the most famous Vikings who ever lived — Leif Erikson, Freydis, Harald Harada and the Norman King William the Conqueror (also a Viking descendant). These men and women will blaze new paths as they fight for survival in an ever-changing and evolving Europe.

Hirst hand-picked Jeb Stuart (Die Hard, The Liberator) to pen the script and serve as showrunner on Vikings: Valhalla. Hirst, Stuart and Morgan O'Sullivan (Vikings) are all executive producing the series. The project hails from MGM TV, where Hirst is under an overall deal. Much of History's Vikings team will return across multiple departments, with production also going back to Ireland. The sequel series had been originally in the works at History as of January when news broke that Vikings would be ending with its sixth season.

Vikings was History's first scripted original series (and the first for the revived MGM TV banner). The series is in the midst of airing the first half of its sixth and final season, which will conclude in 2020. The network continues to remain in the scripted space with Project Blue Book and Knightfall. Sources say History is happy with the creative for the final season of Vikings and feels that the show comes to a proper ending on its network. The Hearst- and Disney-owned basic cabler has a robust scripted development pipeline and, given the high costs associated with a genre drama like Vikings, opted instead to allocate both its financial resources and limited shelf space to a new series.

The move to Netflix comes as a bit of a surprise, especially considering Hulu has streaming rights to the flagship History show. Still, the series comes with a built-in fan base at a time when Netflix continues to spend big as it looks to compete with new entrants in the streaming space including Disney+, Apple TV+ and the forthcoming HBO Max and Peacock, as well as stalwarts Amazon and Hulu, among other niche services.

For anyone who liked Community as much as I did


It's an hour long, but worth it if you really liked the show. I can even see crowd funding for the movie. Maybe the story they want to tell has to include Glover or its not worth making to them. They really took shots at Chevy Chase.
