I'm afraid downtime isn't really an option lolololol

ProfPacker · 02-15-2014, 05:59 PM

well, when it is, this season is intense. watch it while I work, but no spoilers but Wright just did a doozy, something to look forward to...haha

I might like femmes but I wouldn't turn Robin Wright away...

ProfPacker · 02-16-2014, 10:50 AM

still watchingParker (a guess you Canadians must know her).

As a character said in House of Cards..."it's your voice, it does something to me".

what could that something be?

hmmmmm

Wrote this before carefully read the intent of the thread, hope not a derail from that intent.

True Detective on HBO. Matthew McConaughy and Woody Harrelson. Outstanding. Brilliant acting, very creepy.

The Walking Dead.

I just think it is so well done. More about human relationships than the Z's.

Looking. new series HBO. Waiting to see how I feel about it. A quick 30 minutes of entertainment.

Sherlock-love this. A 21st Sherlock with OCD and anal as hell.

Really guilty TV:

The Worst Cooks in America. New season this week. Makes me feel like a gourmet cook.

Helix. SyFy channel. Kinda bad. Don't know why I am watching it.

There is no way to derail this thread. Anything television related. I have heard about True Detective. I will check it out at some point.

I love, love, love Sherlock.

Did anyone try Ray Donovan? I couldn't finish the first season. I loved all the fixer stuff. But I hated Micky so much that I wanted to kill him.

I love Scandal, speaking of a fixer. I also used to love The Good Wife, but got bored.

I am looking forward to the new season of Suits starting. Not a great show. But I like the unexpected twists and turns.

It's a British detective drama series with two women as the lead characters ! It's on PBS on Thursday nights. Season two just ended tho and I have no clue when season3 will start~

My 2 all-time fave televised shows: The Wire and Deadwood.

I loved The Wire cause it was so gritty, intense, well-written, and I could barely understand a word being said, which seemed as it should be given it was set in the drug/gang/police world of Baltimore.. as foreign to me as Beijing (maybe even more foreign).

As for Deadwood? Well Deadwood has a forever- and- ever first place in my heart for one huge fact. Yes it's well written and excellently acted and you do get to see pigs eat poor unfortunates who piss this or that person off, BUT it was a confession by the writer-director to his use of a clever but cheap trope that really cemented my heart to this series.

Knowing he had some 100 or so years of history to cover in this "loosely- based- on- history " saga, and knowing his audiences' collective eyes would glaze over if he tried to stick it all in there, he did something brilliant. Every time he had a few years of history to fill in in order to move the plot along, he had one of the prostitute characters fellate the hero as he "thinks" about the current and passing events. Fact laden decades roll by but I doubt very many people got up to get nachos during these "pendantic" moments.

And I never suspected a thing.

Thanks about not derailing.

I just could not get into Ray Donovan. I really tried. Right after (or before-can't remember) is Shameless.

I could not get into Shameless either. Hard to watch the father fucking up his kids. I always had an overwhelming urge to put the father (played by Wm. Macy) on a 5150 as gravely disabled due to chronic alcoholism and get him into rehab and a 12-step program.

Suits is fun and entertaining. No strain on the brain when escapism is needed.

House of Cards needs more blondes. I can't tell all the brunettes apart. No problem with the bald guys.

I love Scandal too. And I'm a total freak about it. It's the only show I watch in real time so that I can read the Scandalistas and Scandalrati FB group on the commercials and then listen to Jaha Night's You Tube video on Friday.

I caught a few minutes of this show and it looked like something I would like to watch. I'll have to figure out a way to catch up on all of the episodes.

Dark Shadows (1966-71) is one of the best shows ever created. It still takes my attention from most of the stuff that is out today. So does I Love Lucy!
