Watched the first 20 minutes of the new season of Black Mirror. Pure dog shit. That show should never have gone on Netflix. Garbage since the yanks got involved.
Can confirm. Absolute trash.
Even Bones and Nepia won't like it.I actually haven't watched any Black Mirror.
Do Bones and I have a reputation of liking everything?

@Bones said in TV Serieseseses:
@Catogrande says the guy from the same generation that considers Die Hard a Christmas movie.
I'm not 55 in a couple of weeks, and my daughter is 19. We both confirm Die Hard is a Christmas movie. It's not generational.

Anyone watching In Limbo on ABC?
Maybe available if you're able to get ABC iView.
Don't do the TV series thread often, as don't do many TV series, but ...
Think we're 5 eps in with one to go.
Aussie dramedy.
Dude's best mate commits suicide, and then continues to haunt said dude.
Leaves wife & daughter behind.
Dude has to find out why and help mate out of limbo.
Set in Brissy.
Helps if you know where Maleny is.

Really?? Early Black Mirror was excellent and really scarily prescient

Yeah a mixed bag ( given each was completely seperate ) but the good ones were truly outstanding I thought.

Just dropping this here:
... it led me to download the entire series... watched S01E01 last weekend... it really started with a bang, didn't it?

The Christmas one, the one in Iceland, the one where the chick wakes up and people are stalking her with cellphones and the San Junipero one were probably the best in my opinion.
Good thought provoking stuff which is the idea I guess.
I also enjoyed the one that Ron Howards daughter starred in.

@Tim said in TV Serieseseses:
@Kruse Couple of great episodes in first season (Complete history of you was one of the best JG Ballard style things I've seen). Bail when Netflix gets involved. Awful.
Yeah - I just watched Complete-History-Of-You earlier tonight... pretty good.
Another one where they just keep twisting the knife... you think it can't get any bleaker, but then it does, again... and again...
Definitely one of the episodes that had stuck in the memory... in fact - all the S1 episodes were clear in the memory.
Really not looking forward to seeing the seppos take on it... but I guess I should at least try it. -

-
@Crazy-Horse Cheers... I was obviously going to try it out anyway, but it'll be good going in not expecting it to be ALL utter shit.
High expectations - bad.
Low expectations - bad... as you typically start viewing shit with shit-tinted glasses.
Mixed expectations - good... I'll probably more fairly identify the good amongst the shit. -
Finished How I Met Your Mother.
Great series, thought it was excellent, except the final couple of eps, just felt rushed...even though for most of the series, you thought that was how it would end up.

I think it ranks up there as worst ending for a show to me (Man in the High Castle is another contender). But, I have blocked that out and just go with the alternate ending that was on the internet a few years ago (fan edit I think).
S1-S4 I would have ranked it as my best sitcom ever but when watching it originally I think it took a quality drop from S5 onwards. But, I did a rewatch of those seasons recently and they're actually a lot better than I remember.
-
@Nepia Just another in a long line of sitcoms I been watching, Arrested Development is next on my list...
How I met your Mother, Modern Family, Scrubs, to name a few for multiple seasons were just so good, agree HIMYM tailed off, but still had some great stuff, aside from the finale.
I have started the latest season of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, think I'm gonna bail, man it is so shit so far (def one that shoulda stopped after 2 or 3 seasons)

Season 2 has been a very, very slow burn barely on the simmer
Then Episode 6 'Fishes' gets you right between the eyes
Welcome back

So slow burn that I didn't even know it was back - although I wonder if it is delayed here like with the first season.
