Just finished s2 of Happy Valley, it's really good. One of the best shows currently airing, way underrated. Main lady just kills it in every scene.

Is anyone watching "The Family?"

I think the network mystery is dead. Maybe it's just my rampant ADD talking, but I like the show (even though I've seen this 20 times by now) but I just have no damn patience anymore. I think this type of show needs to be a "binger" from here on out. An episode ends, and I feel like a spoiled brat. "Just tell me the damn secret so i can move on with my life." Put this on Netflix for 12 episodes and I'll bng it out in 3 days...

I watched the Missing on Starz last year, and they put the first chunk of episodes on demand, but i had to wait for the final two episodes to air in England to watch and it was torture.

I guess The Real World has finally hit rock bottom

They're in Vegas staying at The Golden Spike?!!?!?! And one of the cast said its the place to be in Vegas.

WTF?

Has The Golden Spike done some incredible makeover or something?

Last time I was near the GS, it looked like a place to rent by the hour.

I think this is a signal that the end is near for this show

Spoiler:
yet I still continue to watch

Getting pretty bored with Lucifer, Blind Spot, Hap and Leonard, and Second Chance. Unwatched episodes building up on DVR.

Lucifer is weird, it has potential to be top tier, but they just do MOTW.
Fantasy that **** up every episode and I'm with it to the bitter end

I watched a random middle episode of Lucifer - not terrible but the guy didn't really sell me which is pretty pivotal for that role. Almost seemed like he took his acting cues from Doctor Who but not in a good way. Cool concept for a show though for sure.

Dispicable DVR busting trend i'm noticing where shows are releasing 2nd shows under the same name. So if I set my dvr to record all new episodes of '60 days in' it catches the new episodes on Thursdays, but also recorded a 15 minute 'sneak preview' episode last night.

Inkmaster has been doing this too, with their 'inkmaster redemption' series that also get recorded in addition to the regular show. I can't remember each other show that does this, but I know i've seen a few others.

super annoying.

Its really just a show like castle except the twist is he is the devil and not a millionaire author.

Its not trying hard to be more than a case of the week and likely never will be. The continuing arc is always going to be the B story.

On Verizon Fios there are options like, all new episodes in this time slot and day only. Or just delete it. Can't be that annoying. lol

Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders is probably the worst show I have seen in awhile.
I mean the original used to be pretty good and has gone down hill lately but this is way below the worst the original ever got.

The new show Heartbeat is alright. Out of all the medical dramas, I think Chicago Med is the best by far. All of the Chicago shows are pretty good. Fire>Med>PD.

Just saw Garry Shandling died. RIP
Just a few minutes ago I somehow ended up on crackle and saw I guess he did the last episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee and the title was:
It's Great that Garry Shandling is still alive.

Saw 'The Catch' - it reminded me a bit of 'Castle' ... just some light-hearted entertainment, nothing too heavy

His 1986-90 Showtime show "It's Garry Shandling's Show" had a great theme song.

‘Togetherness’ To End After Two Seasons On HBO: No Season 3

The decision was made five episodes into the HBO comedy’s eight-episode second season. The April 10 Season 2 finale of Togetherness will now serve as a series finale for the underrated comedy created by Jay Duplass, Mark Duplass and Steve Zissis.

I saw Jimmy Carr recently on Jimmy Fallon and he was pretty funny.
He has a 1 hour stand up on Netflix(Dark comedy) that is funny. His laugh is pretty annoying but it is worth it.

I was coming to post the same news. This show actually made my top 10 for 2015, as I really liked both the characters and the actors, which can be rare these days. Also, the comedy was realistic enough to be funny, yet the show didn't just seem to be checking boxes.

But fast forward to now - the second season has amped up the drama and, in the process, lost a lot of its soul. At least that's my take.

Long story short - I'm not upset to hear this.

Thought the 1st ep of the 2nd season of Togetherness was sort of weak (compared to how things were left off at the end of the previous season), but it's been going strong since.

I'm happy they decided to call it quits before it gets bad. That's how good TV is made.

'Bloodline' Season 2 Premiere Date News: Netflix’s Drama Thriller Returns May 27; Season 3 Not Happening?

"Along with talks that "Bloodline" has got its premiere date, it has also been revealed that the series' season 3 might not happen.

In a statement, Netflix revealed that new Florida tax credits to lure film and television production are not going to push through, as indicated in Keys Net. According to the publication, a $300 million statement program, which was created in 2010, let tax credits to productions that film in Florida as the location. The publication added that the said program is set to end in July, but the tax credit reserves have already been utilized.

While "Bloodline" producers managed to obtain tax credits for the first two seasons, it is assumed that the inadequacy of the said credits will not be able to push season 3."
