Chris Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Anyone else up to date with Fargo? I've loved this show. It's been constantly great, there's something about the characters and the atmosphere of the show which make even minor conversations entertaining. The latest episode was a bit calmer than the previous two but has set the show up very nicely for the final two episodes. It's fucking brilliant. The scene where Malvo stormed the building in Fargo, and the camera stayed on the outside was amazingly well done. The quality has just been sky high through the whole thing.

Paranoid Android Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 That was a brilliant scene. They've done a much better job at connecting it to the film while making it its own thing than I ever thought it could. Has episode 8 aired in the UK yet? I'm not sure what day it's on, so won't say anything specific about it, in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarmaTsunami Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Orange is the New Black! That's pretty much my plan for the weekend. I'll have to look into Fargo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarmaTsunami Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 So I binged on Orange is the New Black over the weekend. It continues to be great, and the ending was absolutely perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca_gere Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Onto season 3 of Friday Night Lights. Still ace. Loved season 2 (so far more than season 3 at the midway stage). Watched the first couple OITNBs. Not blown away yet but it's still very watchable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skubbs Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Fucks sake, I'm finally caught up with Vikings, Mad Men etc... and now there's another great one to watch. I'll have to put OITNB on my "to watch" list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moose Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 FNL is so bad, but I fucking love it. I love the Explosions in the Sky soundtrack too. Matt Saracen is such a fucking hero. I thought it really trailed off in S3 though. It also got abruptly cancelled so doesn't finish off the story arc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 It got cancelled and then picked up by another network. It finishes very nicely after season 5. Nothing bad about it either, great tv show. Good characters, well written and well acted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca_gere Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Season 3 is a bit of a slog I must say. I still fucking love it. I get teary-eyed almost every episode. The Lions story was a nice left turn (i'm at episode 8 so still waiting to see where it goes) but I feel the rest of the arcs are a little lacking compared with the Smash, Street, Layla, Tyra glory days. JD is a fucking turd in S3, he needs more air time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Come on, there's nothing as bad as the Landry story in season 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Fargo finished on C4 last night. Absolutely perfect. It's been a brilliant series. Kind of hope they stick to the one off mini-series rather than bring it back for a second go as I can't see what they could do or where they could go that would be as good again. Was fucking tense through some of the finale last night,Amazed at the depths Lester stooped to, sending his wife in to get murdered by Malvo instead of him. Then when I thought he might break and just admit everything to get help from Saulverson he just kept on being a squirmy little shit. Good ending for him on the thin ice. Got really worried for Gus when he went in the cabin. Couldn't see it working out well for him and was all ready for a bittersweet ending with at least one of the "nice" characters being killed off but in the end I liked that it was him that got the moment to finish Malvo after Lester had wounded him. Weirdest moment for me - at the end of the second last episode when Malvo emerged from the shop after shooting Lester's wife and lit up a cigarette I got a mental image of a wolf howling after making a kill (think it was the way he took the first puff). Then in the last episode they use a wolf in the road to get Gus' attention before he spot's Malvo's cabin. Felt bad for the feds. Incompetent to the end. Also felt bad for Bill as he finally realised how bad he was as a cop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skubbs Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Making my way through Hannibal, and finding it really off-putting that it's set in present day but is somehow a sequel. The use of tablets and that just makes it all seem odd, as you'd surely be able to track stuff more easily nowadays than you would have in the pre-Red Dragon days?

Paranoid Android Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Agreed with everything you said about Fargo, Chris. (well not the wolf stuff, I didn't think about that at all). It definitely should be left at just one season but the show has opened up the possibility of more adaptations of this style. Setting a new story in an environment created for a film. I think some other coen bros' films would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Agreed with everything you said about Fargo, Chris. (well not the wolf stuff, I didn't think about that at all). I probably wouldn't have noticed it but because we'd been away we were catching up on the last couple of episode immediately before watching the finale, so it was fresh in my mind.

Lemonade Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 I've started Prison Break and I'm about halfway through season 1. It's been awesome so far, really tense and exciting but a lot of people have said its gets really shit soon. So I've got that to look forward to. I've got the last 6 episodes of Fargo on my Sky+ ready to watch in a oner (or more likely a two-er). Will try and polish it off this weekend. It was really good but I was struggling a bit to get in to it watching it week to week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca_gere Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 The first season of prison break is fantastic. The second is ok and the rest is serious horse shit. That first season though... so addictive. Onto the final season of friday night lights for me. Feels like the end of an era. I'll miss the Taylors and buddy and the whole gang. Great show.I'll need a new show soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroopy121 Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 I've almost finished all 8 seasons of House. I fucking love House. I want to gimp my leg up and get addicted to Vicodin just to emulate his greatness. xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Broonbreed Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 Getting hoorna into Fargo just now. 2.25 episodes to go. I used to think Billy Bob was shite but he's aright noo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Broonbreed Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Finally got Fargo finished. Magic min. I'd imagine if they have a season 2 it'll be all new characters, apart from maybe the police wifey and a completely new story with a few nods to the movie and series 1. Now, when the fuck does the returned start again? Dead French cunts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
