On the small screen...
Does anyone have anything to say about "Halt and Catch Fire"?
There is a lot of good TV around these days, more than enough to fill the time I give to TV viewing, but I hate it when a winner slips past my radar.

Re: On the small screen...
Halt and Catch Fire looks good, but is only available as season 3 on Telus - I'm hoping to see season 1 first before picking it up (as we had begun watching Breaking Bad - backwards to forwards, I don't want to make that mistake again!)
SURVIVOR starts again tonight
HBO Canada has a new series - Vice Principles with Danny McBride (Eastside and Down).
9 episodes are available - for us bingers. A darker comedy than Mr. D

I'm a pretty big Walton Goggins fan, so I checked out Vice Principals and was pretty disappointed. I felt like the central joke is that the two lead characters are paranoid, scheming, bumbling fools who swear a lot, and it's ironic because they're school teachers. I guess that's a pretty harsh review, but is there another angle to the show that I'm missing?

Humour - not everyone has the same tastes in entertainment - hence my Eastside and Down reference. Both shows are about 'paranoid, scheming, bumbling fools who swear a lot (great review BTW)

Have you seen The Black List? We just started and are catching up - it highly addictive.
James Spader is simply excellent in his role.

Re: On the small screen...
Like I said, there is a lot of good TV around these days. I'm not huge on Network TV either, I'd rather just do downloads and disc sets. I went without cable TV for three years and didn't miss it a bit, I'd probably still be without it had a new roommate not offered to foot the bill.
Shows of note in the fluffpad lately:
The Newsroom (a MUST see)
Stranger Things
Narcos
Daredevil
Jennifer Jones
Game of Thrones
Orphan Black
Halt and Catch Fire (I stole the first episode off the internet and it impressed me enough to order the first season)
Sense 8

It's so good. I'm also enjoying the hell out of this season of Game of Thrones.

Re: On the small screen...
Trekkie fans have something new, it appears though they are giving everyone a small taste with episode 1. New show: Star Trek: Discovery
Episode 2 you either buy it or already subscribe to Space network.
