Mad Men.
Game of Thrones.
Hannibal.
Anybody been following this? It's transformed into an amazing show that is not easy to get into but it is incredibly deep and well made. Acting is amazing too.
True Detective started on the level of these shows but had a very shallow and safe ending, didn't deliver. Orange is The New Black is very good, but not quite here. Any other shows?

Maybe Boardwalk Empire. And Luther (although I think that has finished as a TV show). Homeland is up there too but I wasn't a huge fan of season 3.

Homeland fell off hard even from season 2. Boardwalk is good and can be very good sometimes, but these shows are very good and on ocassion become great.

It's a shame that it keeps getting shit ratings. A third season doesn't seem likely, but I hope a cable network picks it up if NBC cancels it. Since half of the budget comes from overseas, it's a pretty small investment for a network (and probably the only reason NBC renewed it in the first place).

Yes, i wondered how the show would deal with him behind bars and if the other actors would be able to carry the show...
But it ended up being that the show now revolves around him even though he is in prison, and how they are revealing bit by bit what happened last season, how the main characters all have more time on screen because of the cut back on regular cases, and the dialogue and acting being excellent.
Wow, just wow.

We probably don't have to worry that much, i read that other networks were definitely in the hunt to pick up the 2nd season if NBC didn't step up and what with the quality and the good reviews that this season is getting, it wil probably be picked up for a 3rd. The show is a commodity to NBC even with the low ratings.

I'm wondering if NBC is going to keep it around mainly for prestige reasons. It has a small fanbase, but the fans it does have are fanatical about it, and the critics fvcking ADORE it. Apparently the showrunner has up to six seasons all planned out, each one way different from the last.

Yes, that is the word. The prestige and critic's recognition/fanfare that the show gives NBC would be pretty hard to pass up, though i wonder if another network picking it up would result in a raised budget and more freedom for the show runner...

I was of the opinion that True Detective was probably better until i saw the last two episodes of that show, and i started the second season of Hannibal. True Detective looks like the better show, and the acting from the two leads is better... But the plot, the combined cast, the art direction and the way it has kept and actually raised it's quality while True Detective went down in the moment of truth...
Nope.

Also, I think in every walkthrough so far he's been pumping up episode five, which is leaving me anxious for Friday to come around.
The first episode had a flash-forward of Jack and Hannibal fighting two weeks into the future, maybe now that he sees Hannibal was aware of his wife's plans for suicide, and the disappearance of Beverly(she won't get out of that house alive) he will start diggin and confront him. I think that's what will happen in episode 5.

I think I am on episode 6 of Season 1, the show is amazing but holy shit you need to watch it with an empty stomach. Some of the scenes make Saw movies look like family cartoons.
If anyone is looking for a something to watch I would recommend Justified, FX shows are usually quality. They offer some good stuff to hold off until the HBO/Starz series come back.
Did you see that banned episode too? The one you can only find online.

From what I read, the episode on-line didn't contain the banned stuff which involved school kids being brainwashed into commiting murder, which was deemed "inappropriate" due to the Boston bombings.
They originally aired Ep 5 instead and the stuff put up online was from the banned episode, but was only the stuff that moved the story along and not the "murder of the week" stuff that involved the school kids.

That was silly they didn't show the episode, it was a huge stretch it was related. BTW, they do have rights to Silence of the Lambs, the person who writes the show said so. His plan if allowed to continue would be a season of Red Dragon and a season of Silence of the Lambs, albeit his take on it.
People should watch it, this season is awesome. It got more pulpy (more horror cliches) but it's a great hour of TV, it's really unlike anything else out there.

The Red Wedding is kind of like the Cersei and Jaime scene in the first episode, it's make or break for some people. Some depended on the Starks to enjoy the show, and they leave after it. Others enjoyed it for other reasons.

What stuff affected you the most? The only thing that really had me kind of looking away is the bee killer in Season 2, there was an incredibly tough part.
I did see the banned episode, they played it safe but it really wasn't all that much to connect to the bombing. The episode itself wasn't a can't miss but it still sucks that there are some people who will never see it.

What did you guys think of episode 5? It was so consistently good from start to finish; great start, the reveal of what happened to that character was expected but it still hit me, and the acting of Jack Crawford was top noch. There were no slow parts or anything that dragged on...
This was a very good episode. With that said, i'm already yearning for the return of Dr. Du Maurier, **Spoilers- and i was just beginning to really enjoy Katz, she was getting more time and she had good chemistry with Will.- Spoilers**
The way Will's storyline is going is majorly making up for it though, he is becoming an amazing character.

Yeah, it had a 1.1, which was better than the Season 1 Finale.
The reviews and media buzz its getting have hoping it will get nominated at the Emmy's. If this thing gets nominated for something, anything, it will firmly plant it into the awareness of most TV critics, whose readers will then start giving it a chance. I really, really want this show to be renewed.
Whats your take on the episode only showing the end of "her"? I actually wanted to see the fight/chase, if only because she saw something that made her stop, which i believe could be Abigail... either dead or alive(only missing an ear).
Oh and Jack... he's shifting over to the Will side. Well, he was until Will got himself an envoy.

Mad Men is better, Game of Thrones is better, and Hannibal is overall better.
Go watch all three of those shows, then watch the disappointment than the last 2 episodes of True Detective were and compare overall which show is better.

The last 2 episodes of True Detective were great. I don't know what you're talking about. It's kind of hard to compare a show that only has 1 season to other shows, though. Not to mention it only has 8 episodes. I've never really been interested in Mad Men, the 1st season of Hannibal doesn't seem to be available on TV nor on the NBC website, and I'm currently watching GoT through for the 2nd time. The shows are quite different, so they are kind of difficult to compare. 1 is a gritty drama that focuses on 2 characters while the other is a fantasy show that has like 100 different characters. GoT might be better, but it also has 3 seasons and each season has more episodes.

Anyway, GoT is back on and things about to get crazy. If Hannibal is close to the level of GoT or True Detective, then I'm going to watch that ASAP. I do like Mad Men too. There are so many good shows lately. We're in the golden age of TV shows. At least cable TV.

I was not expecting that ending AT ALL. What I find hilarious is that people are bitching that now it'll be impossible to do a "faithful" adaptation of Red Dragon and Silence of the Lambs. As if the Miriam Lass story didn't completely change how Will discovers the truth about Hannibal.
Also, I'm really loving that we're seeing more of Hannibal the evil genius this season. Can't wait for Will to take this fvcker down. :bowdown:

But what would they do with Will now? Remember he is wanted by the FBI, and is going to prison. Doesn't make sense to bring him back, though i really enjoyed his character.
Jack makes the most sense, as he could possibly get a job in another city and keep trying to pull the strings to catch Hannibal.
Alana... I don't know. They may keep her alive and use her character more, instead of just having her as a well-dialogued prop.
I think Jack will survive.

Thrones (this season has been it's worst, but still good compared to other shows)
Hannibal
And as far as the 3rd, I'll wait for True Detective Season 2 before deciding between it and The Americans.

Interesting episode (last Thursday's). I really have no idea what way they're going to go with this. In the books Will is the one who ends up catching Hannibal, right? Will this lead to that or are they going to depart completely?
Also that animated torso-elk-heart thing was terrifying.

The Americans all things considered is better than true detective.

The shows is currently the epitome of narrative ambiguity.
Hopefully tonights episode is limited in overall wtf's..

I hate their use of slow mo visual effects with that annoying music, please no more. I know they are trying to show how Will feels inside, but god damn half of Season 3 has been torture, it's like nails on a chalkboard.

Unfortunately for you, the entire season is going to be literally shot that way. American Gods will probably utilize similar effects as well.

"What if no one died, what if we all just... left together?"
That line is just... man.
It was also when i knew.
Will has to catch him, i know, but i wonder, if he were given the chance to choose again...
Pazzi seems to be well acted and amusing character, hopefully GOT syndrome does not reach Hannibal.
Episode 3 seems like the verging of storylines, or at least, Jack and Alana will show up.

I've read about The Americans being top flight. Have the pilot downloaded, will give it a watch.
And True Detective was truly great for those first 4 episodes, then the had to reign in the plot, and settle on a (lacking)villain, and things fell off the course.
Still have hopes for season 2, though Greenwald from Grantlant seems to think it's dryer and has less of the panache/mysticism of Season 1. And that's what helped elevate that show so much.

According to Fuller they are treating this season once again as if its the last one. Since the start they pretty much have been in fear that NBC will pull the plug. He says they have another drop the mic finale for the third season even better than the one from season two. Which is reassuring because wed hate to see the show end without some sort of resolute conclusion. The ratings have been low so this could likely be the last go round.

Give it a few episodes before you pass judgement on The Americans. Some find it difficult to get use to them often wearing wigs and being Russian protagonist for some reason. Once you get accustomed to the beats of the narrative, it will be all good. Each season builds to a satisfying conclusion. The spy world building is pretty great as well.
I liked True Detective a lot myself. Its just different in comparison to a show like the Americans that has extensive character depth due to it being several seasons deep. Its too bad that not a lot of people are watching it, theres a lot of great performances in it, that aren't getting their due.
Season starting out very shaky. Its plainly evident that they're budget has been slashed considerably. They are limiting their scene backgrounds and keeping everything as dark as possible. Im guessing its less about artistic choices, and more about financial ones.

Probably the cost of recording in Italy factors in. Also, they were recording inside that church, so probably they had a time limit.
Will's story for me hasn't been as strong as Hannibal's, apart of course from the Abigail conversation. That was great.
But Hannibal and Bedelia is just superb dialogue.

I agree, i still like it. Feel its better than your typical show. The dialog is great. I just hope they find a way to be dynamic with bright imagry as they are currently doing with noir opaque darkness.

Definitely watch it
Starts off a little slow as it sets the stage and puts the pieces together, but by the 2nd half of the 1st season it has been AWESOME stuff. Probably the deepest, thought provoking tv series I have ever watched. It's just such a psychological masterpiece. At times it's a slow burn with the over-arsty, pretentious style, but it makes the plot that much better. Not to mention the execution of the plot is 2nd to none.
Best show easily at the moment...

The plot advanced substantially in this episode. It didn't linger as much as the first four.
Alana and Mason, against all odds, really have good chemistry together, and are more interesting than apart. Or it could just be the dirtiness of Mason making Alana more interesting than she is.
Seriously though, "spitters are quitters, and you don't strike me as a quitter". :roll:
The dialogue between Bedelia and Hannibal continues to be top notch. I will be so, so sad if she doesn't make it through this season, Bedelia Du Maurier has been a fantastically acted character.
Hannibal and Jack. Wow. And the music elevated it all.

Finishing season 2 right now...I can honestly say this is one of the GOAT shows. If you haven't seen it, watch it now. There are certainly some big faults (characters doing really stupid things) but it doesn't take away from the psychological aspect of the story, which is the real masterpiece anyway. I guess another thing to keep in mind is I've always been a huge Hannibal fan going back to Silence.

Season three is still ongoing, and from the look of it, it's going to end spectacularly.
Each season so far has ended with a "This could be a series or season finale" and they were both great endings.

Best episode of the Season.
Bedelia is a boss.
Jack and Will were awesome.
Mason Verger has some of the most amusing dialogue i've ever seen in a show this season. Just excellent.
Margo and Alana :applause:
And of course, that table scene. My goodness.
This show is going to ride into the sunset one of the biggest creative outputs TV has ever seen. The cinematography combined with the dialogue, the performances.
Hannibal, i tip my cap.

This mother***ing show.....
:bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:
And Du Maurier, the most exquisite character in the show, will now be thoroughly explored and showcased.
The only character i see surviving that end is Alana, and she's the least interesting. Jack probably is the one they will keep.
Will ran his course, but what an amazing character he was, and the performance put in by Dancy these 2 seasons are worthy of an Emmy.
I hope the show gets some nominations at least.
Hannibal as a character is the best villain i've seen. Hannibal as a show is firmly on the top 3 now, and there is a line between what Mad Men, Thrones and Hannibal are doing on the tv medium right now than any other show.
as I'm done with season 2 I'm reading through this, and surprised at you thinking they let Will die :oldlol: :facepalm tf bro.. you're smarter than that, I thought
edit: looks like im the only one in dis bich
