The trailer has been in the OP since the start of the thread. ;p
I got a AHS/supernatural vibe from the trailer. Its another show I want to check out when it hits streaming.

^ this is great. My definition of B movie is fun, typical, predictable, bad acting, unnecessary but good nudity and hot girls.

And don't forget, Troll 2 is the film that brought you this amazing scene ...

I swear I searched "Hemlock" before posting. But yeah clearly I didn't read the OP LOL
I'd actually be rather surprised if My-So Called-Life is not instantly renewed. It's very rare that Netflix actually loses a television series.

Yesterday I watched a episode of season 7 - was 16:9/HD.
I still cringe when I think about how ABC mishandled this. Such a great show. Yes, the premise has been done before (think Groundhog Day + suspense + cop protagonist), but they managed to execute it perfectly on just about every level. Taye Diggs, Moon Bloodgood, Adam Baldwin, and Mike from Breaking Bad. It's on Hulu, too (and for free, so no Plus required), but Netflix has it in HD. This one's up there with Journeyman, folks. See it before it's gone.

I just started watching the new Battlestar Galactica after holding off on it for so long. Loved the original and didnt want to watch the new one as I thought they'd ruin it.
Surprisingly after 2 episodes I love it. Aside from changing Starbuck to a butch female, I think this show is great.
The best thing for me is the music and sound, so subtle and muted. Fits the space theme very well.

You have no clue what you're in for and I don't have the words to convey how much I envy you right now. I've gone through the series twice and both times I was genuinely sad it ended. Top 5 all-time series for me.
Pro Tip: On Netflix, S4E1 is the BSG movie "Razor"(it aired between season 3 and 4). Watch this right after S2E17 "The Captain's Hand" to keep the story in chronological order.

Looks like they added Compliance. I think I'll have to be in the right mind set to watch it
i cant believe this was made into a movie, just read the wikipedia on the incident, wasnt really movie material..
So true. It is a great little show. I still have 3 episodes to go. I have marathon this, and FlashForward.
Season 1 is amazing. Loved it the whole way through. S2 becomes sort of a chore towards the end. I'm planning on starting S3 next weekend.

Oh shit. Gonna have to remember that lol
What about Caprica? Do I just watch that after BSG is fully over?
Watch Caprica after. Although, I heard it was disappointing.
Good news/bad news time.
Bad news first: the music doesn't stay that way. The guy who composed for the miniseries didn't stay on for the series proper. The music in the first few episodes of season 1 stays really close to that of the miniseries, as the producers wanted to have continuity, but they started letting the replacement composer have freer reign about halfway through the season.
The good news? That replacement composer was Bear McCreary, and his work on BSG's music is one of the best things to happen to television in years. He went the John Williams route on the series: weaving together specific musical themes for certain characters and ideas.
I can't imagine anyone actively disliking the shift, but I'd love to know what you think once you get there.

This movie is kind of infuriating at how damn dumb the people in it are. All it made me do was sit there and think, "REALLY? You've got to be kidding me."

I'll certainly post opinions probably when i'm halfway through season 2 to let it sink in. As long as its not too over the top I should like it.
Hard to say really. I grew up on it, so seeing the original movie then the old series was great for me as a kid. Even had battlestar galactica jigsaws and the like. Loved it. The new series is at least an homage to the original show in the mini-series it seems. It features the same Mark II vipers that the original featured exclusively, the main battlestar is virtually identical on the outside, and it even features the same characters. Give it a try. Obviously the FX wont hold up, but the old cylons look way better than the new ones, as do the cylon ships.
The writing still holds up really well. The SFX depends on you. If you go in with an open mind on the SFX, I think you will enjoy it.
I finished it last night, one of the best new shows period.

Hmm if you thought the first few episodes were slow I think it actually slows down from that point...
Yeah, turns out it was just episode 1. How odd.

Saw this over the summer. Don't know anything about the guy or F1 for that matter but I was riveted. Really interesting stuff. And I second the recommendation for Religulous (didn't know it was on Netflix actually) - very good, very funny. You'll especially love it if you read and remotely agreed with any of Dawkins books.
