Its watchable enough. Its missing something in the plot to build it to something interesting however.

Hot chick being something paranormal, explaining how it seems she is the only one who can resist his desire power and maybe is the only one who can hurt him, could tip the show IMO.

The last episode with his box going missing ended in an interesting place though.

yeah, his missing item is interesting. and ldo the girl is paranormal. it just hasn't been revealed yet.

i can't stand db woodside(the black guy). he is an awful actor.

tapped out of Lucifer after episode 3. It's whatever, but too much other good stuff to watch. Still behind on Better Call Saul.
New Girl is back on track with the addition of Megan Fox.

Well I was planning on watching ng again at some point but no longer.

I don't think she's staying for long, given the way they introduced her character. She's only been on for 2 episodes so far.

Have been watching Join or Die with Craig Ferguson on the History Channel. If you liked Fergusons late night show you will like this. It's only a half hour once a week. Starts with a short monologue then goes to a panel discussion with 3 b list celebrities discussing some obscure historic category. I find it very entertaining.

I was a big fan of his late night show and find this to be pretty boring. Maybe I'll check out one or two more.

The Night Manager starring Tom Hiddleson and Hugh Laurie looks promising 3 episodes in.

So this airs on AMC in US in a few weeks but is on now in UK or somewhere?

I assume it's on terrestrial tv in the UK. I just watch shows on couchtuner 2.0

Bates Motel opening to season 4 last night was good.

I couldn't get into the show "Damien", just seemed boring.

"Of Kings and Prophets" tonight on ABC. Hope its good.

Damien didn't work for me. It gave me no reason at all to care.

I didn't dislike it, I nothinged it. That is probably worse for a show.

Didn't care for Damien either. Makes me wonder how this show even got off the ground. I mean presuming A&E is wanting to reach a younger audience, they might not have based a show on a 40 year old movie that the 18-49 viewer was unlikely to have much knowledge of.

Caught the first two episodes of Love after work last night, thought it was great.

It wasn't good when his flashback memories were super dated in look.

And yeah I have watched lots of films and only remember some of that movie.

I don't think the idea of the show is bad. I would just do as little as possible to reference that film and would enter the concept of the anti Christ taking over the world in a different way. He certainly wouldn't be the protagonist of the show lol.

I'd have approached it as Damien is a young guy who is entering politics and one priest is the only person who believes who he really is, give him some connection to the last film to tie it back loosely. Bring in a partner for him to work with to flesh the show out a bit, an internet journalist with no credibility who mostly makes listicles but falls into the story fits well, and make Damien self aware but I wouldn't even give that reveal until mid season - so it starts with the audience not being sure if the priest is right or wrong and Damien seems good.

Jig it how you need to in order to match the biblical lore - I'd make him ex military to get a middle east connection for eg and that background as a veteran can drive his public perception. Give some dark background that they can dig into (interview people who served with him and have a whistleblower/witness get murdered which solidified the journalist chasing the story and believing the priest) and some kind of cult of followers who try to stop the protagonists.

Anyway **** it thats how I would develop the core idea of the show. Supernatural meets house of cards I guess.

it s never great to do a serious tv show when south park did the story in an episode

I'm still gonna check the show out to see if it's more of an age thing for why people don't like it, but I'm not confident I'm going to make it past episode 1. The Omen is a great movie, The Omen II is pretty good, and I did not make it through The Final Conflict. The Omen was a really scary movie, largely done in very subtle and creepy ways , and even The Omen II succeeded there. A show like this would have to hit a lot of right notes to work, and based on what I've already read here, it's starting to sound like it missed everything.

That scene was in the pilot. He flashed back to it like a memory.

The show definitely isn't scary, creepy or shocking.

I agree. It just doesn't work as is. Waiting for the reveal makes sense. It just felt like they wanted to hurry things along to get to that. Contrast it with Bates Motel which has slowly showed Norman becoming who we all know gradually. Definite swing and a miss.

Bates Motel was definitely a miss for a good portion of season 1, where they were showing us a Norman that isn't anything like what we know. But they got there, and I love that show now. I'll check it out, and see if I think they'll find their way. I was one episode from quitting Bates Motel in season 2, but am very glad I didn't.

I quit the show something like three or four eps in. Bates Morel didn't work for me, not really enough going on imo.

How was Hap and Leonard?

It was decent all of the first season, but didn't get really good until maybe 5 or 6 episodes into season 2. Since then, it's been outstanding, and well worth a watch if the source material is of any interest to you.

i liked it. nothing amazing, but good solid show. the leads are great. writing is good. good buddy show.

first two episodes of Love were really good
