The Official Good Television Thread

The first half was. We'll see how the second half pans out

I thought the first half was the worst the show's been in a long time. The fakeout death was the stupidest shit they've pulled in the show's history, the moralizing is getting unbearable and the finale was a total non-event. Still, I liked seasons 4 and 5 so I hope they can get their shit together again. As a comic reader, I'm telling you, if they somehow get the upcoming Negan arc right it'll be amazing.

Man, Better Call Saul is fantastic! I really hope to see some more BB characters in this season.

Netflix are working on making Altered Carbon (and presumably the sequels) into a series. This is a good thing.

Looks like there will be a lot of Punisher in the next series of Daredevil. Another good thing.

Getting back into Breaking Bad. On season three now. Fuck... its more intense than I remember it being. Love it.

Gonna fire up Better Call Saul after finishing Breaking Bad. I am excited.

Is the Daredevil show shite?

 

[Krow]

It's trash, but I keep watching it for some reason even though they keep rehashing the same storylines over and over. The writers reckon they've got like another 8 seasons worth of material, lol.

I've quit watching it for the most part because I've gotten bored with the series.I hate that it seems like the fucking show has caused this awful trendy zombie culture. There may never be a good zombie apocalypse type movie again because of TWD.

Sounds like I'm being an elitist or whatever but goddamnit my parents shouldn't be inviting me over to watch a zombie show with them. They never even liked a zombie movie, ever. Not even Shaun of the Dead.

Quoted for being the realest shit anybody has said on this forum since I've been here.

11/10.

i thought zombies had got trendy well before THE WALKING DEAD and if anything it was taking advantage of that. i remember people going on about the zombie apocalypse several years back. i'm sure it's contributed and whatnot though. i don't personally care, what bothers me is how repetitive it gets sometimes--same old crises and moral dilemmas over and over. also the regularly shitty dialogue and the inability to decide how comic bookish it wants to be. i'm only on the fourth season though, still persisting with it for the time being. the game looks cool, i started it recently.

Oh yeah zombies were popular as shit before the show came out, I'd say The Walking Dead is more the horrible and inevitable conclusion. I remember people randomly buying these zombie survival guide books they sell at nerd shops, it was definitely building up.

Zombies suck, zombie related shit sucks. That is all.

 

[no country for old wainds]

Metal is not for me.

As a huge fan of zombie cinema, I feel you. I could easily see myself saying this these days.

As soon as something references a zombie I'm like [yaaaaaawwwwwnnnnnn slit wrists with a box of unsalted crackers].

hey it's not the zombies' fault a bunch of cunts started liking them, they never wanted this. they're basically the kurt cobain of supernatural phenomena except they have no way of killing themselves

 

[CiG]

They went down the path of the vampire.

 

[no country for old wainds]

it's the same principle as with metal; just 'cause loads of twerps have hijacked it and made shitty music with dubious knowledge of its history and little respect for its lore and no talent to speak of does not make it any less badass, unless you let it.

 

[CiG]

Well sure, it just means it's watered down and played out. But the underground always persists.

 

[NinjaSweater]

So much Walking Dead hate smh

 

[CiG]

It's deserved.
