[quote=Mattyk;793761]^Was just about to post about FNL.

I saw the first run on DirecTV and it's definitely worth another watch.

Great show isn't it?[/quote]

Definitely. They have done a great job of getting you to hate certain characters and then make you cheer for them later in the series or like them and then hate them so well. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for a couple plot line conclusions to go certain ways, but definitely glad I have something like Netflix to help me get into a series like this. I'm about to start watching Sons of Anarchy as that was just added to instant que and looking forward to Mad Men during the summer.

Okay. Just watched the first three episodes of The Killing.

Wow. Just Wow.

While all of the acting seems really good, I was really impressed by the two boys playing the brothers. Haven't checked to see how old they are but they are really believable in their parts. I know they aren't asked to do a whole lot - still, believably playing grief is tough at any age and they nailed it. It was like a knife in the heart when Tommy realized he was starting to put the extra plate down for his sister while setting the table.

So, can we start guessing whodunit? Or would that be too much of a spoiler for those who might want to catch up?

Also, do we know how many episodes? I am assuming we will actually find out who the killer is at the end.

re: What Shows Are You Watching?
 

I am wondering if the whole series will be about this murder or they will eventually solve this one and move on

re: What Shows Are You Watching?
 

No - It's just about this one murder. 13 episodes - Each representing one day of the investigation (Just looked it up).

Deangelo Vickers... just the name cracks me up. Good episode, the shaving scene had me rollin'.

Yeah should be interesting to see who replaces Michael. Huge shoes to fill.

I havent heard,so Ferrell's not his replacement? Is this just a few episode deal for him?

Haven't heard anything concrete. I've read that he is a possibility, then I read something else just recently that said he's not in the running.

Good the Killing last night. We might have to start a thread on it so we can discuss with spoilers. I like to get folks opinion on whats going on.

Last nights letters, what a curve ball!

I liked it but I also had a gut feeling there was more to that character in this than the first three eps had shown. Considering the character seemed to have no point within the narrative of the show. The stuff with him making his to the destination at the end of the bus line was great. One story tool they use is to jump back and forth between character arcs to keep the suspense up. It works well because they don't drag it out though. I am really loving this show.

I just hope that they don't throw one red herring after another because I feel like that could get old pretty quickly. Of course that isn't to say I don't want there to be twists and turns, because I DEFINITELY do, but I think if they eliminate one character after another from the lists of suspects each week it might make it too easy to figure out the killer in the end.

re: What Shows Are You Watching?
 

Also, I need to try to avoid AMC's message boards because I was glancing through one last week and a poster very matter-of-factly said who the killer was. Obviously they could have been lying/guessing/bluffing/whatever and I hope the person is wrong but it's still annoying.

re: What Shows Are You Watching?
 

I thought I had read that the killer would be identified long before the season is over, that it wouldn't necessarily be a case of waiting until the final episode to find out who the killer is.

I'm fine with it either way if they handle it well. I just don't want to spend all this time learning about the suspects, the political story-line, etc only to find out towards the end it was some random drifter with no motive or something like that. That to me would be lazy writing.

They ahd to be guessing. The producers haven't elt the secret slip yet. They even switched the killer from who it was based in the original version from Sweden.

I think at this point we have to assume that we've been introduced to the killer. It would be pretty lame to be 1/3 of the way into a heavily serialized crime drama like this and have some random killer come from left field. Even now.

re: What Shows Are You Watching?
 

I am almost as quizzical about the Rosie's dad as to who her killer is. Something is up with that dude. And who gave him that money, that he got all pissey with?

re: What Shows Are You Watching?
 

Anyone catch Game of Thrones? I dug it... am interested to see the shifty politics between all the characters.

re: What Shows Are You Watching?
 

I loved the new "Hawaii Five-O" as it has a sympathetic more lead as Steve McGarrett. This new Danno Williams is a crackup. He got a nod for Golden Globe Best Supporting Actor.

Definitely digging the first episode and they r pretty confident in the series and have already signed up for a second season.

re: What Shows Are You Watching?
 

What are you Office fans going to do tomorrow? DVR Steve's last show?

[QUOTE=skinsfanthru&thru;794615]Definitely digging the first episode and they r pretty confident in the series and have already signed up for a second season.[/QUOTE]

I'm definetely digging games of thrones. I must say it is a bit weird seeing Sean Bean play a good guy.

I've watched the last couple episodes of that new show on CC called Workaholics. I'm still kind of feeling it out, but I do feel like it'd be a lot more hilarious if I was on drugs. And I just watched the season premiere of South Park tonight, I didn't think it was anything special but it was ok.

re: What Shows Are You Watching?
 

Human Planet anyone?

New season of Swamp People as well.

Everyone's been found now that we got Bin Laden...

The 2 hour specials should be interesting

Interesting about 30 Rock being a mid-season, currently unscheduled, replacement. I think the end is definitely near for that show

(sidenote: As much of an institution as the show is, and as much as I love it...it's time to put an end date to the Simpsons. Just not funny any more)

As for The Event, maybe I imagined it but I thought I read somewhere that Netflix might pick it up

I haven't watched it regularly but I have seen about 4 or 5 episodes and personally I loved all of them. It's certainly a better take on a behind the Scenes SNL show then the atrocity that was Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.

re: What Shows Are You Watching?
 

The show was awesome the first couple of years but has since gone downhill, in my opinion. It has its moments, but not as consistently solid as it used to be

I'm looking forward to Pan Am next year. Not entirely sure why, I guess because I remember the days when the airlines were ruled by Pan Am, TWA, and Eastern.

The Flintstones remake could be awesome

Are you ****ing kidding me ? I shitted on Outsourced too in the beginning but they hit their stride a few episodes in. The Event, I can kind of understand because it started a little out there but it ended up being quite a good show ! But I'm sure Miniute to effing win it is coming back ! Essadee NBC !!!

Game of Thrones is becoming an elite show. Politics, bloodshed, sex... it's got it all.

I agree. I've read the books three times while waiting on the latest. Most of the time you feel a bit disappointed with the tv or movie adaptation, but overall, I'm really liking the series. If you're not familiar with the storyline let me assure you the best is yet to come.
