Boss
Plot:
Mayor of Chicago, sick with an irreversible illness similar to alzheimers/parkinsons, decides to try and hide it
from everyone to keep running the show. I found it similar to breaking bad as an individual tries to cope with
the idea of slowly dying and Grammer really does a great job.
Watched a couple episodes. Really great acting and story. Politicians lives etc.
Damages season 4 (season 5 running couple episodes)
Very underrated show. Season 3 was not as great but still ok, this season kinda picks up a bit from the past season and hopefully turns it around this season 5

i started watching a show called white collar since everyone on TL was raving about it. man its so shit. characters dont have any substance - it might be due to the terrible acting. if the show had john malkovich or someone similar playing the lead part it would be much better considering the story lines aren't all that bad

suits is not terrible but its certainly not good. no more than 6/10
its basically people waltzing around hash tag winning. character development is poor - nothing raw or real.
that being said the best character is louis by far.
watched some bored to death yesterday. it is excellent.
Suits - sucked for me, really just another, "quirky" law show
Newsroom - is amazing - thank you for this heads up
Missing - is "taken" for women (sucks a bit)
House of lies - heh, not funny, and character is really not that believable. lol
Boss - is so fucking insanely good.
I hope American Horror story lives up to it's previous season.
Sons of Anarchy might wrap up, season 4 was a surprising turnaround
Going to try watch Copper, looked good from the trailer posted here before
god damn newsroom got bad after 1 episode. Looked promising, until they decided to cut the focus on the actual running of a modern news room, the focus on the actual news, and make all the show about inter character drama garbage. disguised soap opera.

bump. Anyone seen The thick of it? It's already on to it's 4th season.
'The thick of it' Is basically a tv show that has turned swearing into an artform. It's a comedy that follows the members of british government and it's filmed in documentary style kind of like the office. It's also very re-watchable because it's hard to take in everything in one viewing.
Aparrently they tried to remake a US version but it was really bad so it never got past a pilot episode.

Netflix series (13 episodes out so far on torr*nt)
Arrow (surprisingly decent enough for a superhero series)
American Horror story (not as good as season 1 but if you're a fan of the genre its ok)
Im caught between calling this thing not good, but i was still able to finish season 1, season 2 was shite tho

Show's gritty, violent plus some sexxing. One of the year's sleeper gems on tv.
(update: not too sure about this one now, its not that it's a terrible show after 2 episodes, its just that, i dunno, i feel the dialogues are kinda cheesy and the fight scenarios a bit too unrealistic. well you guys be the judge)

For those not familiar, it's a mini-doc series that follows a different team every year during training camp/preseason.

Just watched first episode of Narcos on Netflix. Really good, looking forward to watching the rest
rick and morty.. it's soooo brilliant. it's kinda like a darker and less inhibited futurama, but with the same genius story telling you see in the best futurama episodes.
don't judge based on the pilot though, but get through the first three episodes and hopefully you are hooked. I don't think there's ever been a show where I've been equally looking forward to new episodes.
Rick And Morty s closest thing to perfection imo :D
Dunno about new series, but I recently got into "Oz" ... this is one of the best series I've seen, I've never laughed so hard at someone else's pain actors re great and many well known faces + its just a hilarious show
"Baller" - This show is great!! The rock does very well in his role and there's light comedy/drama about pro football players based in Miami
HIGHLY RECOMMEND this
Peter Berg = director, Mark Wahlberg = Executive producer (what you get is entourage meets friday night lights)
So I went through Oz, and went through Narcos and I'm kind of clueless what to watch next. Tried to continue with Getting away with murder but ep 1 of s2 made me change my mind. Think I've seen anything good thats aired except Madmen - i tried watching it but gave up after 3 eps. Feel kind of bad ... once you read http://www.amazon.co.uk/%C2%A39-99-Frederic-Beigbeder/dp/0330490079 you kind of can't get surprised when it comes to advertisement business
Is Heroes any good? I could only watch 10 min in or so, just felt acting was poop, the cgi was godawful, just zzz. Maybe spoiled after Mr.Robot, Narcos, n shows like that xD

Feel the same way
I won't even bother trying with Heroes, at least The Blacklist s coming out in a few days and its the only same shit different episode kind of series i can still tolerate
The more i read about Mr. Robot the more genius the series seem. Even the producer laughed at people,that called the series a Fight Club rip off by ending episode 8 or 9 with:
The original by "Pixies" being the most notable Fight Club soundtrack
Season 2 should reveal the "real" plot supposedly and its planned to be 5 seasons long

A couple I've been watching lately, so many shows out there I can't catch up
I notice shows start off great and promising but lose steam and completely devolve to crap (heroes, limitless, last kingdom,etc)

im not so bothered about the lack of innovation, theres a reason its super popular and thats because its easy to make and its enjoyable (the genre), I enjoyed White Collar even though its not innovative.
However limitless is a pile of shit, I like Jennifer Carpenter alot and I so wanted it to be good, but I could not force myself to watch the 7th episode, kinda shocked I lasted that long.

it's a t.v version of this american life (Adnan Syed). the show is quite good although i wouldn't describe it as pleasurable or leisurely.
i still think mr robot and stranger things are amongst the best current television. transparent season 2 was amazing as well (even if you ignore the pc undertones the show is just the human experience distilled).
I love that guy but it won't beat his Kenny Powers character in Eastbound and down.

Highly recommended underrated but amazing shows! Watch these!
3 seasons out
"Halt and Catch fire" - Fantastic AMC series about the age of "IBM clones" and open architecture which broke the IBM pc division eventually.
2 seasons out
"Gomorra" - An Italian mob crime series set in Naples Italy, which is getting some great reviews and is a huge hit in Italy. First couple episodes did not disappoint
There was also a movie version back in 2008, just look for ENG Subs version. I'm sure it was worth a watch since iirc it was nominated

Please watch those shows and get back to me. I have a simple movie tv blog where i put all my favorites so check out the cast trailer and short review. I don't put whatever movie or tv shows that I found terrible to make sifting thru everything out there easier. Of course there's lots I haven't watched yet but I'll be constantly updating it.
Killing Eve - Now this crime-thriller drama surprised me a lot. Sarah Oh is one of those actors who just turns any role into her own, tactless, unintentionally funny persona. Go try it out. https://foundaz.com/2018/05/killing-eve-tv-series/

I thought Barry is just gonna be a cool comedy, it turned out sick
If you guys haven't seen Handmaiden's Tale - just do it now. This show is amazing... the director is perfect, the way how it is shot is perfect, the effects, the actors, the script (even though season 1 isn't going by the book and I really hate when people do that as they usually fail - this one I'd say is much better). It's just the most brutal drama I've ever seen
Handmaiden's Tail and Westworld best two shows out there right now.

I thought Cobra Kai was very entertaining. :D
They basically made a series about the karate kids-kids 34 years after, with the same actors involved. What I like the most about it is how they managed to modernize 80s cheesiness, like, they brought characters from 80s movies, placed them in a modern context, and made their surroundings relate to them like if it actually is 2018. It's not really brilliant, but light hearted and fun, and just 10 episodes of ~25 minutes each.
It's a youtube production also; for the first episode.

It's indeed a dystopian story, but SJW? Nope, there is diversity of topics discussed including ones the SJW do, but not the way they do it. It's just pure, brutal and seems extremely real.
Also why "another dystopian story" ? This is not the hunger games and its series. Basically, The handmaiden's tale's novel is put up there with "1984" and "A Brave New World", except the series surpasses the book a lot.
Another good series I got recommended is
But haven't had the tiem to check it out, Hugo Weaving & Benedict Cumherewat are in.

^^ Yup Ozark Season 2 coming this year! I'm eagerly anticipating a couple shows, Castle Rock is one!
Watched Peaky Blinders and turned out really good, cillian murphy is great and tom hardy just brought it to another level. 4 seasons but you gotta power through the first couple character arcs before stuff gets really good. Watching Penny Dreadful now. I'm allergic to period shows so took me years to watch these haha

Succession - great HBO drama about internal family squabbles for the empire's control
https://foundaz.com/2018/06/05/succession-2018/ - my new and improved blog! :D Thats where I've put all the movies I've loved from as far back as 2000-2018. I also put coming movie trailers in there and its my hobby/passion project. It's never going to be done as there are tons of stuff to put in there but i do very short reviews on each hopefully sometime in the future.

isn't handmaiden's tale another dystopian story with some sjw sprinkled on it? if not then i'll check it out, ive really been wanting to watch it but man im so sick of postmodernist lectures already lol. But yeah I keep hearing that it's so good
It's indeed a dystopian story, but SJW? Nope, there is diversity of topics discussed including ones the SJW do, but not the way they do it. It's just pure, brutal and seems extremely real.
Also why "another dystopian story" ? This is not the hunger games and its series. Basically, The handmaiden's tale's novel is put up there with "1984" and "A Brave New World", except the series surpasses the book a lot.
Another good series I got recommended is
But haven't had the tiem to check it out, Hugo Weaving & Benedict Cumherewat are in.
wow its not a SJW series? I assumed it was I will give it a try
It explores the subjugation of women in a patriarchal society... but Atwood is no SJW, she's a very serious thinker. She is an old school leftist, she even finds the label "feminist" problematic and has received flack for her critical view of the MeToo movement.

I thought Cobra Kai was very entertaining. :D
They basically made a series about the karate kids-kids 34 years after, with the same actors involved. What I like the most about it is how they managed to modernize 80s cheesiness, like, they brought characters from 80s movies, placed them in a modern context, and made their surroundings relate to them like if it actually is 2018. It's not really brilliant, but light hearted and fun, and just 10 episodes of ~25 minutes each.
It's a youtube production also; for the first episode.
+1 exactly what drone said
new shit has come to light... a-and... shit! man...

anyway, you can thank me later, plus a good time to start as the season is about to end
If you've seen the new movie with Jennifer Lawrence (red sparrow? red something?) , that one is just as SJW as the Handmaiden's tale, except the Handmaiden's Tale environment is dystopian so its fucked up on a whole other level

nevermind this season is longer than S1 so it actually runs till mid July so thats good I guess

Watched the first couple episodes. Not HBO or AMC quality but was really interesting. It's about Jack Parsons, father of american rocketry and disciple of Aleister Crowley, another strange and infamous American figure who is like the MJ of occultists and heretics to this day.

I usually really hate sitcoms, the laugh at the back feels like someone is inserting a needle in my brain, that is so fuckin retarded. Friends is the only sitcom which uses that technique that I managed to go through and only cause of the superb script, jokes etc... The big bang theory I gave a shot but was ultimately super disappointed, Chuck Lorre was pure shit there, so I was quite skeptical when I heard about Young Sheldon.
Young Sheldon is about the story of Jim Parson's character from the Big Bang Theory as a young kid, it doesn't have any background laugh and the actors are doing a good job - especiially the kid playing Sheldon. It's a pretty decent sitcom if you just wanna turn your brain off at the end of the day and laugh at dumbass shit and absurd situations which could only happen in the head of some junkie script writer in Hollywood. Don't expect another "Friends" though , that aint gonna happen

I missed it but Luke Cage Season 2 is out, no need to watch it to know its gonna be good with an insane soundtrack
Watched episode 1, got hooked, downloaded book, read it in a single go.
This is the type of thing that is so fucking good but yet so disturbing that you wouldn't recommend to anyone as it will leave them more fucked up... and the series are going into a much DARKER path than the book. Imagine True Detective Season 1 except more realistic, couldn't describe Sharp Objects better
Amy Adams is also legit one of the best actresses out there and I'm still kinda annoyed she didnt get the oscar for Arrival.

Season 2 out already. The first season was great. An origin story on how the infamous "crack" drug came about in the US

Please watch Gomorrah season 1 to 4 if you haven't yet. It's just a masterpiece. The show is just so unbelievably good they decided to make a movie for Ciro the immortal. I just can't shut up about it and let some of you guys miss out on this. Go to the reddit sub of "gomorra" and ask around for s4 episodes but season 1 to 3 is out on tpb

I like how neither Yennefer or Tris are white women with red hair and thats literally the most important thing for Gerald lmao
Gotta love how every adaptation has come to politics with fans, the game fans already started commenting about what they dont like and i imagine book guys will be even more annoying. Its an adaptation and u just saw a 1 minute teaser from it and already started complaining about skin cololr. At least wait for the first season to air lol, there is no adaptation that is 100% loyal to the books in the history of TV, why would u expect that this will be the one?

It's always the same though, people complain about people that read that books complaining, and later those same people adopt the same opinion e.g. GoT fans complaining during Season 5 that its still super good show blah blah and book readers should shut the fuck up, yet now that its over everyone is like "uhh they ruined the show from S5" - no fucking shit.
If they have to be politically correct over someone's color then they are most likely going to be politically correct about shit in the show which will essentially ruin it, cause the books are a literal fuckfest on many different levels
This is another great fantasy trilogy which is getting turned into series and looks promising. This one they have no other option but to ignore social norms and actually stay true to the books otherwise they'd have to rewrite everything.

Well some of the changes the writers are forced to do. I mean GoT was under attack at the beginning because of the lack of racial diversity in the main characters. Then the rape of Sansa happened and some women got offended that such scene was on screen(even some senator woman made statement). But Red Wedding was such a cool scene and nobody gave a fuck when a preggo woman got stabbed to death.
I imagine that if it was so easy to create an adaptation of a book written in polish by a polish author with slavic mythology so the world can enjoy it they would not have changed one bit from the text. But its not - this show is going to be distributed worldwide and you have to sell it so... they changed Yennefer and so on...
And dont start about GoT... its another story - im still salty :D
P.s Anyway The Witcher trailer looks good so far. Lets hope for the best.

This story should be told. The movie version (The Golden Compass) was subject of an attack by some Catholic religious civil rights league which scared Newline off from making more movies based on the other books.
"Atheism for kids" they say. And I don't know who the pope was during that time, probably Gollum, but he too with the Catholic church condemned the making of The Golden Compass.

Decent series. Felt a little like part "Watchmen", part "Kickass". Superhero themed show with a lot of pol/soc overtones.
Great show imo, probablyh one of the best this year. Liked it a lot.

^ I agree it's so layered and has enough action to keep you interested. Gomorrah is like the Shield in that it's the opposite of The Wire. It's insanely fast-paced with a lot of action. You get to know the characters very well by the time the season is over. Foreign shows don't follow typical Hollywood tropes which is something I enjoy

Terror Season 2 looks interesting but since it's an anthology type series I miss the creepiness of the first season and it awfully feels like watching "The Ring". This thing still has potential but I dont think it'll ever hold up to the first season/story
Succession Season 2 though is fantastic. Just like the first season. Casting and screenplay is just so on point with this one. HBO level quality shit
Started rewatching Mcmafia (what a stupid ass name for a show) and I really want to watch the second season because it's going to be awesome. I highly recommend this one guys. Location shoots from Prague, London, Mumbai, France. Cast is a bunch of unknowns but is really criminally underrated.

Peaky Blinders and The Terror turned out to be terrible this season but Succession really pulled through. What an amazing show and I recommend people look it up. This thing really surprised me a lot since I'm not really into family dramas and shit but jesus christ this series is too good. Screenplay writer loosely bases this on his previous script on the Murdoch/Redstone family which never materialized so he tweaked it a bit into this marvelous show.
