creep, you really have to watch Quarry. It's only 8 episodes, season finale was last night. I think it's one of the best shows I have watched all year. The acting, directing, story and camera work are excellent. Last night's finale was close to perfection for tying up loose ends; it left the viewer satisfied. The entire series was directed by one director, Greg Yaitanes. Oh, and the music in the show is pretty great too.




Here's an example of the music. This is a cover of Sam &Dave tune. The show is set in early 70s Memphis.

Is an awesome show.
there is a lot to wrap up in one episode. before this episode i thought they were going to find the real killer but nasir would murder someone in jail and end up staying behind bars.

now i think he gets killed in jail and that is the end of the story. trial over. he leaves behind something where he confesses to the murder.
Thought this was awesome (loved the scabby defence lawyer) until the last episode - felt cheated

i love shameless, but feel it is an acquired taste. its a character driven show so if you get invested in the characters youll enjoy it, no matter how ridiculous it gets. and it gets really ridiculous. its lost steam the last few seasons like all showtime shows, but the first few seasons were great. i still enjoy watching it, but its not a show you can take too seriously after all the bullshit theyve pulled with storylines. great acting though.

Agree. The last couple of seasons were so-so, but this year is better, I think. I can't stand Fiona's character, though this year, she's stronger. My fave character is Lip. I also find him really attractive.

Earlier this year I binge watched the original British series and enjoyed it. I think the American version is done pretty well and worth watching.

I just saw yesterday that there's a remake of One Day At A Time airing on Netflix tonight at midnight(13 episodes). The younger ones here probably don't know it, but it was a sitcom from the mid 70s to the early 80s). I'll check out a couple of episodes..

Season 3 of American Crime looks good.


As in the case every year, American Crime will have a new setting, new characters and a new storyline in the upcoming third season. The critically acclaimed drama is known for tackling complex issues through the prism of various committed crimes. In the first two seasons, it took on the subjects of race and class.

According to Deadline, Season 3 will take on a story about “labor issues, economic divides and individual rights.” The whole thing will be set in North Carolina (although filming has been moved to Los Angeles after the show was awarded a California tax credit).
Starts March 12th

I liked the first season of Mr Robot, season two was so-so.

I liked Billions.

A little while ago, I watched Goliath and enjoyed it. It's with Billy Bob Thornton.




I'm currently watching Riverdale and loving it. It's the dark, teen show based on the Archie comics. It started a few weeks ago, episode 4 this week. Luke Perry(90210 Dylan) plays Archie's dad. :lol:

The kid that plays Ziggy is my niece's nephew (his Mom is my niece's sister in law) I only met him in-utero :lol: He started out on you-tube reviewing Broadway Shows.
Then Perez Hilton tapped him to do the red carpet interviews for the Tony's. His Dad is a Broadway actor Euan Morton and his Mom Lee is a Broadway Stage manager.
He did a fantastic job! :banana:

Detroiters on Comedy Central is pretty good. I laughed out loud a couple of times.

I've also watched Superior Donuts but I think it should be called Inferior Donuts. Great cast, but not very funny.

I finally finished watching the three seasons of "The Fall" in less than two weeks (5-6 episodes per season, the longest one was season 2 finale). I really like Jamie Dornan. I still don't know what is he doing in those 50 shades movies. He really is a good actor (yeah, he's gorgeous but he can act).

I'm probably late on this one but Stranger Things was great! Wifey and I blazed through it in 3 nights.

I read some very negative reviews about this show too. I'm still planning to check it out to see if I like it or not.

Well I m not a tom hardy fan (mrs ec is) so didn't keep me engaged it's a bit weird. Generally what auntie (BBC) puts out has a certain quality

(Not selling this am I?) it will appeal to fans of victoriana noir..
