What are you watching?

And, JFYI Suzanimal, we are into episode seven of Jessica Jones and we are officially hooked.
 
aw man....
We taped the final episode of Fargo and apparently the last five minutes were lost or something...
Does anyone know what happened after the trooper stopped and phoned home while Peggy waited in the car?
The Indian, Michael and his goon, etc.?
And what happened with Peggy?

Fargo finale SPOILERS:










They never show what happened to her. Presumably she went to prison, but possibly with a mitigated sentence.

The Indian got a new identity and plastic surgery. He became the mob boss Tripoli, who was killed by Malvo in Season 1. The kids on the baseball field in that scene grew up to be Mr. Numbers and his partner in season 1 (note that they were using sign language).

Mike Milligan was king for a day, then he went to meet the bosses and got promoted to a desk job managing bean counters, and was encouraged to cut his hair, change his wardrobe and learn to play golf.


It is confirmed there will be a 3rd season.

It's OK; I really don't like the lead actor in this, because all he does is remind me how horrible a show Under the Dome was, and his role here is similar.

If you're facing a tornado in the Great Plains, be sure to look for an elevated stage like structure and then stand on it.
 
I watched all 3 eps of childhood's end - no spoilers, but, I liked episode 1 the best - after that it got almost predictable
 
The Expanse, after 1 episode in, LEGIT.

Some of the sets look like they came from Dark Matter (another good show, but for different reasons), but it looks closer to a movie than what you would expect from a SyFy show. Haven't read the books, and I wasn't sure about the story working until the last couple scenes. I've seen the first couple eps of Defiance, this story appears smaller in scope- so far, humans only, within the solar system.

I've read the books (everything out so far except The Vital Abyss).
It's fairly close so far (episode 4). There are some differences, but nothing really major (except maybe the Naomi thing).

For what I'm assuming are dramatic purposes, they're playing up a lot more tension and conflict between the survivors of the Canterbury (Holden, Naomi, Amos, Alex and Shed) than there was in the book. In the books, they were actually good friends and only became even more tight-knit after the Canterbury was destroyed.

Chrisjen Avasarala doesn't appear until the second book, but she shows up right off the bat in the show.

They also reveal Naomi's previous involvement with the OPA very early on. That didn't happen until the 4th book, and it was a pretty big plot point, so I'm surprised they did that.

I was kind of hoping they'd have Ron Glass play the part of Fred Johnson. He's who I "saw in my head" when I read the books.
 
All I know is TV is awful during thise midseason hiatus. We watched Diehard 1 & 2 on bluray.

Reminds me of Battlestar Galactica, SE and the sets...

I like it a lot. It's not a fast-paced show, though, so you'll be disappointed if that's your thing. It's definitely not a barn-burner - or if it is, it has a very slow fuse ...

And given that it's a character-driven drama, if you're not caught up on it, I'm not sure how much sense you'll be able to make out of it if you jump in "in the middle" (especially since this will be the season finale, and understanding a lot of the things being set up for next season will depend on understanding things that have already happened). But who knows? Maybe you will. Or maybe you'll find it interesting enough to go back and watch the rest.

I love Rectify. Our internet husband got me hooked on it, btw. I think season one is on Netflix.

We love this show! Watched the first two eps last night.
 
The Hateful Eight was great! I saw an interview where he said he'd like to bring it to the stage. I would be all over that. It felt like a stage play. He says plays are what he wants to write after his 10th (and final?) film.

Go see it! The 70mm was icing!

'There's no perfect end for this story': Rectify creator speaks out as SundanceTV cancels its first original series
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbi...als-s-no-perfect-end-story.html#ixzz3wsXpjSPs
Will Daniel Holden ever fit back into his hometown after spending 19 years on death row?

It seems TV viewers may never find out.

SundanceTV announced on Friday that it is cancelling Rectify, its first original series, after four seasons, according to Variety.
[...]
But don't expect a big finale wrapping up all the loose ends.

'There is no perfect "end" for this story nor for these characters,' series creator and director Ray McKinnon said on Friday.

'They will continue to live on. We just won’t document them any longer. And the timing of this "non-end" end feels exactly right.'

He added that Rectify 'is in many ways an existential story that was allowed to come to life during an existential era in serial storytelling. It was a case of perfect timing with the perfect partners.'

Ray continued: 'I am so grateful to have been allowed the freedom to tell the tale I wanted to tell in the way I felt it should be told with the mad and beautiful collaborators who joined me on the ride... Oh wait, we haven't shot the final season yet. I'll get back to you.'

Although the drama was never a ratings hit, according to Variety, it was a critics' darling and won a Peabody Award in 2015.

It is currently nominated for three Critics Choice Television Awards, including one for best drama series.

The final season of Rectify will begin shooting in April and premiere this fall.
