I think there's like 2 people watching 19-2 but man the show is turning into a HK drama with cops turned secret mobsters and whatnot. lol

I think I just like it when they're just patrol cops doing their job (rip Southland), but why not I suppose.

Just waiting for saison trois of the French version to hit Netflix so I can finally finish it off.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Ray Donovan was never, in any season, a good show, but it definitely improved once they ditched the original showrunner. Liev Schreiber is actually now allowed to express emotions other than "bored" and "severely constipated", for one thing.

^^^Exactly right Ratsky.

He looks a hell of a lot angrier in the trailers and ads. Ah, I'll give it a go once I close up one or two other shows!

Honestly, Ray Donovan should be at the bottom of anyone's 'To watch' list. There are so many other - significantly better - shows you could be spending your time on instead.

As for Ian McShane, sure he does an okay job acting wise, but his character (like all the characters on Ray Donovan) is so dull that his performance can't salvage it.

 

[KonradLaw]

The Rock smells what you are cooking!!

anyways Ray Donovan renewed for season 5 quality of the show has ended up in the toilet, just slightly above Sons of Anarchy. Only season that was good was season 1. I guess its not the drama that was going to get yanked.

Showtime needs something to put on the air till 2018, since that will be 5 years years since last Dexter season, which is probably enough for them to consider brining it back

Homeland: Season 8 in 2019 should be a crossover, with Carrie teaming up with Dexter to stop domestic eco-terrorists. His years as a lumberjack will provide crucial access to the sinister group.

This is actually a decent pitch for a show.

No.

No, it's not.

Kill it with fire.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Don't give Showtime any ideas. I've been seeing promos for the 10th anniversary of Dexter and I'm worried they'll announce a tv movie or something.

Can't wait for five seasons of Carrie pining over Dexter, wondering if she should move on from Brody.

They are bringing it back, they just don't know when yet. They are even considering rebooting from season 4.

 

[TheOddOne]

No.

The Adventures of Lumberjack & CIA Chick.

Guaranteed succes.

Too late, sending my idea to David Nevins. Let's Make Showtime Great Again!

That would be terrible idea. If they reboot it Dexter is in the perfect place already. Without all the Miami bagage.
I wouldn't mind just one off fast paced series of Dexter in new town stumbling upon some killers and having his cravings awakened.
Show deserves better send off that what season 8 was.

 

[AngmarsKing701]

I think the only episode of Dexter I watched was one of the ones when it went to network TV. And it was pretty bland, which I'm going to guess is because all the good parts got edited out.

If I decided to add it to my "holy shit there's so much TV on my backlog list," where should I STOP watching it, because I've heard the later seasons are pretty bad.

Wasn't It just the first episode that aired on CBS? I remember watching that too because it was such an unusual time for TV because of the Writers Strike and thought some of the censorship was kinda funny.

Watch first 4 seasons (S5 is fun watch, but optional), then last episode of S6, then season 7 and finally the last episode of S8.

Hard to say, S6 and S8 are absolutely irredeemable trash. For safety's sake, finish after S4 but if you're curious take a run at S5 and S7.

Yeah this. Just imagine what happens in the last episode of S6 happened in the last episode of S5 instead, it would've fit nicely.

Last episode of S8 is up there with HIMYM finale level of terrible mind you.

Watch the season with Ray Stevenson, I don't remember which ?

You're the Worst S3 thread is up.

S7

Such potential

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

Finally getting around to watching The Last Kingdom 15 minutes into the second episode but good lord the lame "fit for broadcast TV" language and even lamer Ragnars.

‘Pretty Little Liars’ To End With Season 7

Freeform announced the news today during a Facebook live interview (you can watch the video below) with creator and showrunner I. Marlene King and cast members Troian Bellisario, Ashley Benson, Lucy Hale, Shay Mitchell and Sasha Pieterse. The final 10 episodes of Season 7, airing in April 2017, will conclude with a two-hour series finale.

They made seven season out of that premise?

And also, the key art for CW's Frequency sure is a ... thing

1996 called.
They want their movie plots back.

Parcs & Rec was pure comedic gold. I miss it.

Setup for The Flash crossover

 

[AngmarsKing701]

I just watched the trailer for Frequency. Creepy. I get a Timescape (Gregory Benford novel) vibe. I can see it becoming extremely complicated with the overlapping timeshifts though.

Might check it out.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

The upcoming season of Grimm will be its last.

 

[Stumpokapow]

I was never able to make it through the pilot but I'm kinda amazed how many seasons it has survived. Like Castle, it's a totally utility player that just kept chugging as the bottom fell out of the rest of the market

It's kind of weird to use 9/11 as the distinctive difference there, unless they're going for a major butterfly effect on time alterations.

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

Is Peyton List's character an alternate time line Lisa Snart?

The upcoming season of Grimm will be its last.

No surprise there, ratings have fallen into fractional range and while the last season might've been a bit better it's still been pretty terrible.

I figure once Fringe used the twin towers, all bets were off.

 

[HeartlessNobody213]

I was expecting Grimm to end with this upcoming season. I was also right that a lot shows I watch have ended or were going to end in 2017.

 

[Hobbun]

The upcoming season of Grimm will be its last.

Damn, that's too bad. Really enjoy that show, but understand why with the declining ratings.

Hopefully it ends up getting a few more episodes than they originally planned. I think it only has 13 right now.

The show has more than its fair share of issues, but I always found it charming enough that I'm somewhat sad to see it go, even if the way they handle storytelling can be downright maddening at times.

I think what really helps is that most of the supporting characters are at least amusing, even if they're often stuck in terrible plotlines (although the main character's girlfriend tends to just get stuck with the awful plotlines). I'm actually really going to miss Monroe (the vegetarian, clock-repairing werewolf). Something about the way Silas Weir Mitchell plays him has always been really endearing.

I'm betting on one of the comic shows. So either ABC or CW. Leaning more towards CW.

I still want to know the show that is You'reAlreadyDead.gif

And the series is back on the air in 'the next month' so that points to September.

And the series is back on the air in 'the next month' so that points to September.

Which would rule out the CW superhero shows.

Agents of Shield looks more and more likely.

Oh lord that reminds me, cancellation thread is gonna need a renewal for next season. Time sure does fly.

Maybe a more generic name this time around? Like 2016-2017 Television Discussion?
It also reminds me, I need to set up another TVD thread. And probably look at those for No Tomorrow and Frequency if no one else takes them. OTs go up one week before the show airs, right?

 

[Zaph]

The fall tv thread is up!

Thanks for doing these. GAF is basically where I get all my TV recs (Americans into Hannibal into OJ Made in America into Stranger Things is a damn good run). For some reason TV focused websites are universally terrible?
