Anyone watched Z Nation?
Eh, a couple of us were raving about it a few weeks back! It was really good, the penultimate episode probably being my favourite. Laurie and Hollander owned those roles, especially Laurie. What a performance!
We talked about it before actually, I enjoyed it a lot. It has been a great year so far for miniseries in general. The Night Manager, And Then There Were None, Mad Dogs (US remake), 11.22.63, American Crime Story, and Hap & Leonard.Surprised I haven't seen a shout for The Night Manager, an excellent 6 part Le Carre (Tinker Tailor/Constant Gardener) adaptation starring Tom Hiddleston, Olivia Coleman, Tom Hollander, David Harewood and Hugh Laurie smashing it as an evil plum voiced gun running war monger... Beeb drama at it's very best.
Yep, there's a thread on here for it.Anyone watched Z Nation?

I expected more from it, considering the array of acting talent on show. Still enjoyed it.Surprised I haven't seen a shout for The Night Manager, an excellent 6 part Le Carre (Tinker Tailor/Constant Gardener) adaptation starring Tom Hiddleston, Olivia Coleman, Tom Hollander, David Harewood and Hugh Laurie smashing it as an evil plum voiced gun running war monger...

Horace and Pete were brilliant too. And Baskets. Really good year for a TVWe talked about it before actually, I enjoyed it a lot. It has been a great year so far for miniseries in general.

You're the Worst, Better Call SaulCan someone recommend me a light hearted TV show similar to Entourage \ Californication?
I've watched only 3 episodes too and I thought it was okay. Nothing great so far but the cast is really good and the dialogue is decent. It's not nearly as exciting as the premise makes it sound to be, so it's disappointing in that regard.Horace and Pete were brilliant too. And Baskets. Really good year for a TV
Are Hap and Leonard any good? I watched like 3 episodes but it was very boring
"Very" was probably an exaggeration from me, but I expected much more from it - Sundence TV, great cast, so my expectations were very high - especially considering the great and complex comedy projects from this season like Horace and Pete and Baskets.It's not nearly as exciting as the premise makes it sound to be, so it's disappointing in that regard.
Yea, maybe you're right about the format. It does seem to have pacing issues with episodes being ~45 mins long. I expected something similar to Justified in tone and maybe quality, but it really hasn't been that so far."Very" was probably an exaggeration from me, but I expected much more from it - Sundence TV, great cast, so my expectations were very high - especially considering the great and complex comedy projects from this season like Horace and Pete and Baskets.
Also I feel that they choose the wrong format - the show would've been better if it was 20/30 minutes per episode and not a full 45 minutes

Are you? I'm going to watch it, probably, would like a feedbackAnyone watching The Girlfriend Experience?
Anyone watching The Girlfriend Experience?
Is she playing herself? Or is it just an Easter egg?In the first episode there is a scene where Riley Keough's boss gives her a lecture and he actually says "we don't give a shit about your grandpa", bastards.

Horace and Pete is an amazing show, but also depressing and heartbreaking.
Watched the first 2 episodes last night, thought it was brilliant, laughed out loud a few times, thanks for the tip !!!
May 3rdAny idea on when Person Of Interest will be back ? This is reported to be the last season, which is a shame coz I quite liked it.
Don't get me wrong, it is brilliant. The dialogues and acting are great. I don't want to go further into it in case I may spoil anything for you.
So I've finished The Sopranos. All in all a great show, definitely. Well-acted, good writing but it doesn't beat The Wire for me. Far too much filler involving Carmela, all of Tony's goomars, the psychiatrist Melfi, his awful sister Janice etc. That's also why I'm not keen on watching it a second time in the future while on the other hand I'm tempted to watch The Wire for the 3rd time. Let's be honest, the mob stuff itself was the most entertaining part of the show but the rest became quite dull at some point. I guess I rank it on the same level as Mad Men and Breaking Bad but below True Detective season 1 which on its turn is below The Wire, the very best TV show ever as far as I'm concerned.
By the way, the native Italian mobsters were hardcore as feck.
Fair enough. I guess they should just make a show about criminals only.It's funny but I felt the same about The Wire. I loved all the street stuff on the show because it looked and sounded real, but everything to do with cops, politicians, longshoremen or fifth estate left me quite bored.

I thought it was a bit meh, few good eps, cancelled after season 1.Anyone watched The Messengers?
