Just started watching this and I think its really bad. Its enjoyable but the main character is written to be a fucking idiot. To the point that it heavily reduces the quality of the show.

So 1992 started last night, (could they pick a worse fucking name for googling?!?)
It's okay. The first episode left me wanting more but I doubt it's going to build to anything worthwhile.
The biggest problem it that it's wildly derivative of US/UK productions, to the point that it doesn't feel like an Italian export. If it wasn't for them speaking Italian and them showing footage from old tv shows of bouncy young ladies dancing you'd have to be told that it was meant to take place there.
Plus it suffers from Obvious thing is obvious syndrome.
...
but this prick,
GLORIOUS!
and it was only fifteen seconds to man butt. So at least two good things.

And Undateable season 2 is just a fucking terrible as season 2 of Ground Floor. ;( no more Nikki or Amurri ;(((

Looks fun.
Also, it's interesting that it's coming 'this summer'. I read that season two of "Survivor's Remorse" is also coming this summer that that Starz will be airing them together. Where does that leave "Da Vinci's Demons" season three then? That's typically been a spring show, but with Outlander, Power, and then Survivor's Remorse/Blunt Talk, I'm guessing Starz is pushing it way way way back into the fall? What about Flesh and Bone? That's been completed for several months now and Ash vs. Evil Dead is also supposed to air some time later this year.
I'm convinced that Starz will being programming two hour blocks on Saturdays because there just isn't enough space left for just a single one hour show every Saturday.
Cancer: The Emperor of All Maladies is airing next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. 9pm on PBS. Direct by Barak Goodman. Produced by Ken Burns.

BBC Three are getting back into drama, a new supernatural themed show is coming some time in April (currently rumoured to be April 12) - Tatau.

Oh, created by Jonathan Ames? Cool I'll watch it when it appears on whichever streaming service picks it up over here.
p.s. Thank you Starz for being generous with your licensing for the Nordic territory.
p.p.s The "z" in your name is still stupid and makes me take you less seriously no matter what you make.

The 'Z' is what makes Starz the best channel name in existence.

Me too. I thought the first episode was pretty fun.

Having posted this in the Fortitude thread, I want to spread the message a bit as that partiuclar thread seems to just merely exist.
I was lukewarm on the show myself after the first couple of episodes, a general scandinavian crime affair, but it's a bit more than that. Definitely worth a watch!

I just caught it on Hulu because I was bored. I really was surprised by it, very enjoyable. I was thinking of making a quick make shift thread for it to raise awareness.
Was wondering what people thought. I like Becki Newton and Zach Knighton so I was thinking about checking the pilot out.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
I watched it due to the glowing review from AV Club and didn't really like it. Nate Torrance's (who was great on Hello Ladies) is really annoying. I'll give it a couple more tries, though.
Well it was just a pilot. To me pilots, or sometimes most of the first season with sitcoms can be some what hit and miss. But there seems to be good chemistry and the cast is fun. This pilot was also very much to set up the story of course. Having to introduce four characters and having the pieces come together to line up for the rest of the season in 20 minutes is a tough job.

Thanks for the impressions. I've been meaning to check that out but wanted to wait until it was all over before diving in.
Yeah I liked the cast well enough given only 20 minutes but the pilot story was kinda was just 'meh' to me.
Just finished the pilot for WL.
I've been craving an offbeat single cam friends sitcom for a while since You're The Worst finished its season (Community doesn't really do it for me) and WL scratched that itch quite nicely.
Down for the rest of the season. I think I read it's only going to be six episodes though? Shame if true.

I typically give new shows a 4-5 episode try-out period, but I think I might be done with Weird Loners already. All of the characters are just insufferable to me; Stosh especially, with the whole douche-narcissist, pseudo-rapist thing (that kitchen scene from the pilot yikes). I may try one more if it's on next week and I'm not doing anything... but I don't know...

Why were Secret & Lies and other shows on break this Sunday?
Never sure where to put stuff like this, but I started watching Banshee for the first time and man is it fun so far. The fights are amazing. Will be caught up before too long.
I'd assume because of Easter.

Yes!
Banshee kicks ass. Season two is a bit less action oriented than the first season, but never fear, things ramp back up in season three.

Yeah Season 2 doesn't seem quite as good as 1 so far, but it is still enjoyable. Very excited to hear Season 3 steps things back up though.

odd they didnt put Secrets & Lies ending this upcoming sunday up there.
I can't find any official thread for this show...but damn my cousins. Those girls got me hooked on it. I rarely? no, never watch tv shows... mostly Sports and movies.
but yeah, I just caught up on the last two episodes.. and hoooly shit I don't know what to think anymore.
I just visited a forum about the show on another website and had to stop reading because they are breaking down every single little conversation...and hell they might solve this shit before these last two episodes left in this series...lol.
anyway tonight should be fun.

this show is why i just want to skip to this sunday...
I wonder if ABC would get another season of it. Cornell is such a great character.
