The TV Thread - Off Topic - FM24/25 Update

While everyone has been hyped with GoT coming back (I lost interest in it during last season), the real glory that come to light is the release of Daredevil. I've binged watched the entire thing over the last few nights and it's hands down one of the most engrossing first season of any TV show, period. And quite possibly the best comic book based TV series to date. Good to see something with grit and a far darker undertone than what is usually served up within the genre. Fingers crossed it's continued into a second season and beyond.

Watched the first two episodes of Daredevil. Didn't like it at all.
Pretty poor in every aspect, imo. Directing, writing, acting.

Not for me.

First couple of episodes are a little on the slower side and builds the story. It picks up over the next few once more of the characters come into play and the fight scenes begin.

Each to their own though.

I'm a week behind because Sky Atlantic are a week behind. But I think I'll give in and watch as some point.

Latest episode wasn't as good as the first but I'll put that down to trying to build a storyline quickly

Thankfully they have 10 episodes instead of 8 this year so they don't have to rush stories as quick

The beauty of HBO Nordic is that I get everything aired by HBO and everything they've licensed within 12 hours of it airing in the US.

Yeah I reckon so. Quite a lot of tits in it this season too, compared to the last, gets quite interesting, though there's some tedious story lines in there.

Never really got the hype of OITNB. Has some absolutely terrible acting which makes it difficult to watch.

Look no further than the post above you. "Quite a lot of tits in it this season, too"

It's silly.

As expected, Chris Evans is the new Top Gear host. I've got no problem with that, i'm just hoping they don't get someone unbearable to co-present with him.

I thought it was good, going against popular opinion.

Top Gear won't last after the next series imo.

They'll probably lose quite a lot of viewers, mainly ones who only watch it for the comedy that Top Gear brought under Richard, James and Jeremy, and i believe that to be quite a significant audience. I reckon they'll lose more than half of their worldwide audience overall, although they may pull a few million viewers that are "curious" about what format the show will be.

Then Richard, James and Jeremy will announce a new car show to wipe the floor with and then Top Gear will end shortly after.

Apparently ITV are the favourites to sign Jeremy, James and Richard although Netflix and Amazon are also interested. Thankfully Sky have already said they're not going to try and sign them up. If they do go to ITV, I agree with you, they will get all the viewers and Top Gear will suffer. Those three made it what it is, so its going to be weird seeing them kill the show that they made so popular.

I did.

First 30 minutes or so were pretty bad tbh, they were really beating the viewers heads with the characters back-stories but things got a lot better in the second half.

Only problem that I've seen mentioned about them going to ITV as opposed to Netflix, is that there's always a chance they could upset advertisers for ITV by slagging off their product (i.e. a car) on their show; although I'd hope everyone would be big enough to realise it's just piss-taking.

What the hell was that ending True Detective?

Can't wait for next week's episode already.

He can't be dead, so how the hell will it be explained next week. Bulletproof vest maybe?
