TV Shows: What are you watching?

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

Really liking the Monday night Louie marathon on FX. My new favourite sitcom.

First couple seasons for sure, the last two were tired.

Homeland is on Netlix, a lot of people seem to like that, but I find it kind of "meh". Whatever you do, don't play the drinking game of taking a shot everytime Carrie cries or spazzes out. You'll be shitfaced real quick...

I enjoyed House of Cards. Spacey is quite the devious prick in that one.

Walking Dead was a favourite, but it's getting recycled lately.

HBO is really where it's at, but if you're after streaming it's unlikely HBO GO comest to Canada before 2018. Easily the best roster of shows around... Sopranos, True Detective, Game of Thrones, The Wire, Eastbound and Down, Curb your Enthusiasm, Band of Brothers... even Rome, Deadwood, the Pacific and Boardwalk Empire all had their moments.
Really hoping for another season of True Detective. Not heard anything at all if they are coming up with another season and the who the actors will be since McCoughany and Harrelson are not coming back.

They are. Different scenario, based in California. Heard the actors are going to be Colin Farrel, Vince Vaughn, Rachel McAdams and Taylor Kitsch.

The creator Pizzolitto(sp?) wrote a great crime noir book a bit ago called Galverston. Loved it. Look forward to another season of it.

Well a carpenter once told me....

Based on that, I'll give it a solid four episode try. :mrgreen:

edit: after I somehow get the US netflix. PM me!

What about the 100 or community? I only have a few weeks left before I'm back to the house with the kids, so I reaally gotta get me binge watching in now otherwise it aint happening. I guess I could read Hilux forums. :look:

Don't know about 100 or Community, but if its Netflix you're watching:

House of Cards - Political Drama, excellent writing/acting :twisted:
Suits - Law office Dramedy with style 8-)
House of Lies - Slimy corporate consultants fucking their way to the bank :thumbs:

That should keep you a shut-in for a couple weeks.

Yeah, hormonal Sci Fi, pretty but predictable.

Ascension was interesting...sexy Sci Fi

Some of the new Amazon pilots are cool too..The Man in the High Castle was fack'n A eh?! But I love Dick so there you go.

HoC -Going to be a great 3rd season, slimy good fun
Running Dead -Is OK
Shameless -Still one of the most underrated shows on the boobtoob. Some of William H. Macy's best work to date


Look at some the stuff from BBC and Australia/NZ if you want good fresh TV. Also, there is some great French, Swedish and German that is subtitled or dubbed.

Awesome thanks doods!

Shameless is under rated, but my wifey went ahead and watched the next ten episodes on shomi. And the main guy on there graduated with us. And he was in Josie and the Pussy cats. The movie. So.....I'm torn. :wow: edit: and I only have the CAN netflix. Someone needs to PM me about this US netflix shit.

A buddie mentioned the fall. Gillian Anderson is in it, looks like a light welsh version of dexter/physco.

I couldnt get into 100 after the first ten. Same with HoC. Keep em coming.
