Dub_City30 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Re watching Altered Carbon again, for those who haven’t seen it I highly recommend this show. The first season is an absolute masterpiece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INbengalfan Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Finally finished Dexter. Great first four-five seasons with the rest good enough, but my goodness, what a cluster-%$#@ of a finale. You all warned me, but morbid curiosity won out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexGreen#20 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Question: Is Deputy on Fox the worst primetime show to ever see the light on a major network? I'm trying to think of a worse show, surely there has to have been a CBS dud worse than this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with the atrocity of an ending, it'll always be a top 5 show for me. Just finished season 4 and that ending hits me harder than anything Game of Thrones has done to me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacReady Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Sorry, but all network television is trash. Name a single solitary network television series from CBS, NBC, ABC or Fox that's worth watching. That is even on the level of Breaking Bad. Go back 10 years if you have to. A single solitary television series that was high quality that had its premier within the past 10 years ago. I don't know why anyone is surprised by crap television anymore.

That is a high bar to set for network TV. Also, network TV almost solely excels at comedy, which has probably the most variation in opinion as a genre goes. There is quite a way between "crap" tv and Breaking Bad, so I don't know what point you are really trying to make here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you're leaning more dramas? There's been some good comedies. What about Hannibal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sllim Pickens Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Finally watching Shameless season 10. They have been doing a good job developing story lines without Fiona. Its getting a little redundant but still entertaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have the most money and they can’t come close to AMC? They specifically dumb down their programming. How many TV shows on network television aren’t procedurals? What real difference is there from one show to the next? Network television caters to old farts who can’t keep up with anything other than what is essentially a monster of the week or a disaster of the week or a bad guy of the week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again though, dramas aren't really a focus of network television for whatever reason. I will say though A Million Little Things and This Is Us are good dramas, just in a different tone than Breaking Bad. Mainly though, you chose Breaking Bad as the bar to reach for network TV, when Breaking Bad is likely (without thinking about formulating my own list) a top 5-10 show all-time.

What good comedies are you referring to? Comedy is subjective so Im not going to slam anyone for liking something I dont, but I think most comedy that has come out of Hollywood the last 8 years or so has been absolutely insufferable, especially CBS comedies, which are all so formulaic, one-note and dumbed down. The only good comedies still running (that Im aware of) is Always Sunny and SOMETIMES South Park. There may be other comedies Im not aware of, but its gotten so bad that I usually stick to watching older comedies on Hulu. Sad that alot of comedies today make some of those cheesy 80s sitcoms seem watchable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
