Yeah. I like it. Definitely better than Arrow or The Flash.
Nice and dark in places and The Penguin is amazing. As is E. Nigma. Really like his little appearances.
Not sure about Catwoman and the introduction of other characters as kids like Poison Ivy but we'll see how it plays out. |

Most recent Banshee feels like a homage to Assault on Precinct 13.
Brilliant stuff.
First 2 episodes of Better Call Saul were amazing too. |

Yeah,good call on the Assault on P13 homage,decalaced...what a blast of an episode that was...non stop action and fun...that show is such a great throwback to the over the top excessive action shows of the 70s and 80s...I can wait for eacj new episode to get here...
Saul episodes were a lot of fun...especially the second one where things really get going...nice to see a lot of the Breaking Bad type landscapes and visual flare...should be a very solid series... |

Cool. Could do with some weird tv 
Lack of action in this thread kinda reflects the quality of tv at the moment.
Besides Game Of Thrones and Penny Dreadful there's not a lot going on.
Not been a decent new show in a while. |

| It's on Netflix UK. I'm still not sure how to describe it or if I like it, but it is fucking weird. |

Anyone watching 'Wayward Pines'?
First review I read mentioned Silent Hill, The Prisoner and Twin Peaks. Tall order to live up to that
Gonna give it a blast tonight. |

I watched the first 3 episodes and I'm definitely intrigued by it even though at the moment I haven't a clue what the fuck is going on...definite nod to Twin Peaks and the film,In the Mouth of Madness....I am going to keep with it.... |

I think I'm going to give up on it. Matt Dillon can't act for toffee, his family annoys the fuck out of me and while the story is intriguing i don't think it's a patch on Twin Peaks and it feels to me like `big network trying to be mainstream weird'.
Now the new season of Hannibal on the other hand started off pretty nicely. |

Yeah I did enjoy the first episode but it just fell flat on its face for me afterwards.
Apart from the last episode, the French show The Returned did something similar much better. |

I enjoyed Wayward Pines...glad they didn't cop out and deliver a feel good ending...
Ray Donovan is so fucking good...my favorite thing on right now...
The Brink is funny...so is Maron...
I watch Ballers just because it is all shot in Miami...
The Strain second season is way better than the first...
Looking forward to new seasons of Fargo,Banshee,The Walking Dead(and the spin-off-forget what they are calling that...
and definitely looking forward to the premier of The Bastard Executioner from Kurt Sutter(The Shield,Sons of Anarchy)...
hmmm did I miss anything? |

I've just started on Mr Robot and American Crime. Both look pretty good.
Rectify has just finished its 3rd season. Simply the best show on tv by a mile. |

I watched the first two episodes of Mr. Robot and it's really entertaining. Will have to finish that.
Narcos, the new Netflix show (premieres August 28th) is about Pablo Escobar and stars Wagner Moura and is directed by Jose Padhilla, whose names you should recognize if you enjoyed the Brazilian Elite Squad movies. It's getting good reviews and I can't wait to check it out. |

Show Me a hero is very good...what you would expect from a great mind like Mr. Simon...
Fear the WD was ok...slow start to what I believe will turn in to a good series..
Dennis Leary's new show Sex and Drugs and Rock n Roll is a blast...funny as shit show about an decadent aging rock star...especially fun for Afghan Whigs/Greg Dulli fans as their are numerous references and cameos(Dennis Leary and Dulli are old friends) |

Mr Robot is fantastic, one of the best things i've seen in ages. It gets better later on as well. |

The last man on earth. Pretty funny but god Kirsten Schaal's voice is annoying (just like in Bob's burgers)
First episode of Blindspot. Not sure about that yet, very Memento like and pretty weak characters. |

New series of Ray Donovan is insanely good. Hard to think of another show as good at the mo.
Halfway through Mr Robot. Like the way the tech stuff is pretty realistic for a change. Story is decent enough. Well worth a watch. |
