gonna watch The GFE thanks to some posters in this thread. is it just 2 episodes in?

also i see its described as an anthology. is it different characters every episode? or the same story over the course of the season?

Right when I get hooked on Episodes, this happens:

Episodes Cancelled By Showtime

It's all on demand but they're showing it as regular weekly

Pretty sure at least the season is same cast

I know it's based on a movie, but it sounds a lot like Secret Diary of a Call Girl, which I thought would be terrible, but while away for work it was the only DVD I could find to watch, and I ended up really enjoying it.

GFE looks horrible (except for the bewbs). Will need a couple more reviews to be convinced to give it a go.

sepinwall was meh on it and i usually find myself agreeing closely with his opinions:

I'm not saying it's great - but I do think the first 2 episodes were good, and boobs obviously

speaking of visuals (boobs), what I liked most about episodes 1-2 is the mood- the scenery (both kinds), the pacing, the color, the minimalist conversation. It was very Bret Easton Ellis like.

A lot of this rings true with me. I'm through episode 3, and without revealing too much my main issue is with pacing - some plot points that I want to move faster aren't, while others are progressing too quickly. But overall it's a decent time passer.

Although Sepinwall was meh on it, Seitz on Vulture really liked it. Those two seem to diverge on things more and more, and I'll be honest that I'm increasingly siding with Seitz. I think that Sepinwall's stardom has gone to his head a bit much - I feel like his reviews now factor in what he thinks people think he should think.

Lucha Underground?

news on new star trek show

Huh. That actually sounds pretty cool.

I'm liking the girlfriend experience through the first 2 episodes. Is there a way to watch the rest or do you have to have Starz?

2p2 is not exactly the right demographic, but i liked "flesh and bone" starz scripted drama about a ballet company in nyc.

Only place to, watch the whole series is Starz. You can always ask someone for their Starzplay password or a lot of providers have at least a $25 rebate if you keep it for three months, and possibly even a special price for 3-6 months.

Season 1 is on Amazon Video, but you have to pay for Prime, and Starz is . $8.99 per month additional, and Amazon does not qualify for the 3 month rebate.

I largely agree with the writer. I'm through 4 eps and its average. Lead is pretty good and hot but the story just wanders IMO

meh. ill just watch it every week instead of paying for it. but it does seem like a good binge show

Just stating the obvious. The Detour is awful. The acting is somehow worse than the writing and I like the chick from Justified and Jason Jones.

To be honest, if Natalie Zea is in it, I'm interested...

lucifer is going pretty good. i'm loving the story arch. the monster of the week is pretty ridiculous. but i like what's going on with lucifer and chloe

Yeah I think Lucifer is pretty decent. Nothing special and very predictable but its an enjoyable show.

I wasn't expecting much but watched Containment. Cliches everywhere. The pregnant girl, the hero cop, the government baddy and so forth. At least it's only 13 episodes.

Thoughts on some I watched if you like looking around for different shows:

Stan Lee's Lucky Man (sky): Watchable but very predictable and last episode left much unresolved IMO. 10 episodes.

Wanted (7 Australia): Modern take on Thelma & Louise, 2 not so innocent women on the run, doesn't take itself too seriously. Some of the bit characters I found really funny. 5 episodes. Enjoyed.

Letterkenny (CraveTV): I thought this was great but probably not for everyone. I'd describe it as Trailer Park Boys meets the farmland. All the characters bring the funny but the hockey bros get tiresome IMO. Katie is a smokeshow. 6 episodes.

Marcella (ITV): Crime suspense drama. I really like Anna Friel, she plays the lead as separated housewife returning to work as a detective, who has both unsolved cases and past mental health issues. Reminds me a lot of a French Canadian show from the 2000's called Fortier. 3 episodes aired to date.

Watched the pilot of You, Me, Her (DirecTV) about a polyamourous love triangle. Wasn't horrible, just other shows I wanted to watch more.

Season 2 of Catastrophe (Amazon/BBC) was good but a different vibe from S1. I don't have a family so I think it didn't resonate with me as much.

Patiently waiting for season 3 of 19-2 (bravo Canada), which has been in the can for months and promised a spring premiere.

I'm through 3 episodes and I agree with all of your points. It is much better than I was expecting.

same. its legit

good show?
