I need a new show...

My only concern about True Detective is how do you top what McConnaughy and Harrelson did in season 1? It was superbly acted and executed.

My advice would to be not to evaluate it on those terms. The goal that the second necessarily has to top the first is how bad sequels are made.

Good point IK. I will try to remember to treat it like a completely brand new show. That may be tough.

I recommend Bloodline. Love it!! Season 1 is on Netflix.

Game of Thrones Season 5 premiers tonight.
If you like to torrent, the first 4 episodes have, apparently, already been leaked.
Just means you will have to wait a long time for episode 5 - or maybe another batch of episodes will leak.
Crazy times we live in.

Already got the first four, might do them all tonight!

Same here - no way I will be able to pace myself so what the hey.

Ugh, I just realized these are all lower-quality versions...

I need minimum 720p or it looks shitty on my 75 inch tv. Guess I'll have to wait like everyone else

Why don't you just download them through torrent like everyone else?

Yeah they are lower resolution, but only slightly more than the format I usually get anyway - I'm not picky though, and I watch everything on my computer so I will probably burn through them tonight

Just finished Season One of Neflix Daredevil. Here is my quick review.

SPOILERS....

I really enjoyed the overall tone of the show. It is dark and gritty; it is everything that Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. should be, but isn't. It isn't without it's flaws, but it was a really solid first season. I felt it paid tribute and stayed true to the comics without pandering the fanboys. Cox is fantastic as Murdock as is Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page. The star of the show is Vincent D'Onofrio as Fisk/Kingpin. Sadly, I wasn't a fan of Henson's portrayal of Foggy Nelson. I really enjoy how they show Murdock struggling with his Catholicism and what he is doing. Father Lantom is awesome. This was a line from Father Lantom to Murdock which I found particularly awesome; "There is a wide gulf between inaction and murder, Matthew. Another man's evil does not make you good. Men have used the atrocities of their enemy's to justify their own throughout history. So the question you have to ask yourself is, are you struggling with the fact that you don't want to kill this man, but have to? Or that you don't have to kill him, but want to?" Brilliant stuff...

In the comics, Daredevil has super heightened senses, but no super human strength. They really show this in the show; Daredevil is constantly getting beaten up, maybe too much actually? The hallway fight scene was amazing; you will know what I mean when you see it. One thing that they didn't do which disappointed me, was that I expected some sort of glimpse into what we could expect for Season 2. A hint of Bullseye or Elektra the Hand would have been great.

Overall, I was pretty impressed. I give it a solid 8 out of 10.

Just finished watching the Netflix Bloodline series that Shake recommended. I quite enjoyed it. Started watching it about a month ago, so 13 episodes in about 4 weeks. I do enjoy being able to watch a series without having to wait. I think it adds to it when you can watch them in quick succession. You remember a lot more of previous episodes that way.

Anyways, Bloodline was good. Interesting story and as the layers were peeled back more and more, revealing more and more of the background, it got pretty better as the series finished. A lot of shows will start strong and finish weak. This was not like that. It started average, but it gave you enough to be interested. Each new episode built on the previous one. Since there was no delay to get the next episode, it was easy to get hooked. Then it finished strong.

I would like to highly recommend HBO's Silicon Valley. To me, it is a brilliant version of The Big Bang Theory.

Watch this "Jerk Algorithm" and tell me that this isn't brilliant. Warning, some vulgar language.
