Son of Zorn OT is up.

 

[iceblade997]

The Young Pope, starring Jude Law, will premiere in Italy and Germany on October 21, the UK on October 27 and on HBO in the US sometime in February.

The Young Pope - Sky/Studio Canal/HBO

Awesome! February isn't too far away. Can't wait for this one to come out. Seems like a really interesting premise and the trailers have been really intriguing.

Also this is ahead of time, but still: any idea if they're going to have a big series going for December / January? Seems like in years past they've had The Leftovers and The Newsroom in December.

Netflix has announced a new series premiering December 9 called White Rabbit Project.

White Rabbit Project - Netflix

Mythbusters’ alums Kari Byron, Tory Belleci and Grant Imahara head down the rabbit hole to investigate weird and wonderful events from pop culture, science and history. Under their microscope are topics as diverse as jailbreaks, superpower technology, heists and crazy world war two weapons. In each episode the hosts immerse themselves in experiments, builds and tests as they sleuth the truth behind these and other well googled themes.

Write up sounds kind of ... silly? I'll probably watch it though as I always found Kari and Tory amusing (plus Kari is hot)...

REALLY hope they're not going to be acting out those "hey we just thought of this right now" moments again. They're not anywhere near good enough actors to make that believable.

Is there anything you won't watch Ratsky?

Oh, and apparently Swedish Dicks sucks (Ratsky, get your mind out of the gutter you know full well what I meant). The nicest (by some margin) review that I've seen for it was mostly lukewarm and gave it 3/5. And that was the nicest. It got really panned elsewhere.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Yes, the 400+ other shows I left off my list~

Welp, I guess I can check that one off my list then!

 

[inm8num2]

Thank you as always for putting these threads together, Ratsky.

I've been trying to cut back on the shows I watch, which is hard since the selection seems to constantly be growing and improving in quality.

Returning (will watch)
The Affair - South Park - Rectify - Ash vs. Evil Dead - The Flash - Arrow - Gotham - New Girl - You're the Worst - The Strain

Returning (maybe)
The Last Man on Earth - who am I kidding, I'll watch it
American Horror Story - skipped season 5 but will see how reviews for this season are
Black Mirror - haven't seen previous seasons but have always been interested
Documentary Now - ditto, but seems like a funny show

Dropping
Masters of Sex - it's a really good show but I've simply lost interest
The Walking Dead - too cyclical and repetitive w/ no apparent endgame
Legends of Tomorrow - eh, Arrow and Flash are enough for me

New (very interested)
Atlanta - Quarry - Luke Cage - Westworld

New (maybe)
Better Things - Debate Wars - Easy - The Exorcist - Son of Zorn - Frequency - Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency

Movies
ARQ - The 13th - Mascots - Rocky Horror: Let's Do the Time Warp Again - Into the Inferno - The Ivory Game

 

[User 479360]

I'm more excited about Survivor than anything. I caught the bug again over a year ago, after having not watched it in quite some time.

 

[kevin1025]

Question for those that watch them all: for The Flash, Arrow, Legends of Tomorrow and now Supergirl, should I watch them in the order that they air? I'm catching up on Arrow, and plan on alternating episodes of The Flash and Arrow like their air dates for seasons one and three of both shows, but am wondering if, outside of the connected episodes, I'm making it more complicated than it should be?

Not really, the crossover episodes are one thing but the rest is super minor.

Slow down there bucko! Fall TV season hasn't really even started yet!

(as for your question, nothing big appears to be scheduled for December and I don't think anything has been announced yet for January. Maybe Taboo on FX? Maybe The Deuce on HBO? We don't know when those will air yet.)

I don't watch Supergirl, but with the other three, I'd say that it doesn't really matter too much.

According to The Hollywood Reporter's list, here's the notable things in December/January so far (likely to be bulked up once the midseason shows get dates):

Mozart in the Jungle (Amazon) - December 9
Man in the High Castle (Amazon) - December 16
The New Celebrity Apprentice (NBC) - January 2 (I figured I'd add this since Arnold and all that)
Homeland (Showtime) - January 15
Billions (Showtime) - February 19

Not really, the crossover episodes are one thing but the rest is super minor.

I don't watch Supergirl, but with the other three, I'd say that it doesn't really matter too much.

Cool, thanks! I'll try and work it so that the crossover episodes are the only thing that keeps me from switching.

I always have nothing but praise when Ratsky puts these lists up. So much more effort than I have put into the cancellation threads.

That reminds me though, that thread should be up in a day or two. /cackle

I'd say no. The fall HBO lineup will last through the first weekend in December, I believe, which is exactly how The Leftovers: S2 aired. They could quickly burn off The Newsroom since it was short, but even that premiered early November and ended two weeks into December. It would be stupid to launch any notable new series at that time, like The Deuce. Maybe stuff like Girls and Crashing will air in January, but they could wait until February.

 

[Alex Anderson]

The Goldbergs, hoping it returns to form. S3 was not nearly as good.

Fresh off the Boat

Maybe some The Middle because of Eden Sher's char

Also looking forward to Wheel and Jeopardy starting back up.

I went on and on about this show in the Summer TV thread, but it (way too quietly) got added to the UK Amazon at some point. So it is available with English subtitles now.
Le Bureau des Légends (or as it boringly is called in English; The Bureau)
It is one of the best modern spy shows, and if you've been looking for a show to fill that Rubicon shaped hole in your heart this is that show.

*=New show I'm going a shot.
**=Old show that I've watched for so long I might as well stick around until it ends or just watching out of habit.

Looks like Saturday will again be my catch up day this Fall. I honestly thought I'd have more but FFS I'm still watching a shitload of CW even with dropping Arrow and iZombie going back to mid-season.

Sepinwall - 20 new fall TV shows to get excited about

Atlanta

Queen Sugar

When Parenthood ended a couple of years ago, I suggested that audiences might have to look to cable to find the next great family drama. Based on the first three episodes, which have an impressive command of tone and place on top of the family dynamics, this one could be it.

Better Things

One Mississippi

The Good Place

This is Us

One of two shows on this list created by Dan Fogelman it's a low-key relationship drama where the less you know going in the better, but if it works (and the pilot mostly does, particularly at the end), it's the kind of show the broadcast networks should be making more of.

Speechless

Pitch

Timeless

No Tomorrow

Frequency

Divorce

Divorce is as cutting as you might expect for a comedy created by Catastrophe's Sharon Horgan.

Insecure

HBO's been developing this show with web comedy star Issa Rae for a while now, and the result feels fully-baked: likable and funny and deeply personal.

More at the link.

 

[maxcriden]

In the same vein as Ratsky's post above, cross-posting this from the new Cancellations thread:

Anyone reading Feinberg's yearly Take Me to the Pilots series?

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/topic/take-me-pilots

Impressions articles for several of the new network pilots. I usually find these to be as objective as possible an arbiter of what to expect from the pilots. Good reads.

 

[SalvaPot]

After catching the Panel at Comic-Con, I am REALLY excited about Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.

The cast seems like they had fun, and I love the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, so getting more in that spirit sounds great.

 

[Rei_Toei]

Guys, question. I think earlier this year (spring or summer) I read about this new (comedy) show but I forgot what it was called and googling it didn't really help me out. I watched a trailer that was kinda cool so I'd like to check if it turned out good.

It was about a woman that somehow ended up taking care of the children of another super-rich woman (maybe her sister?) after not having contact with each other for a really long time. Said rather rich family lives in a mansion, has a cleaner/nanny etc but the parents of the kids are for some reason (maybe arrested for something?) not in the picture.

Lots of Good Stuff !

And LOL at van helsing for biting vampires back to human xD

Pretty Much everything based on comic books that does not have zombies in it
Black Mirror
Class
Samurai Jack
Son of Zorn
Elementary

Maybe (probably will see one episode and think about it):
Elijah Wood with a Corgi
Man in the High Castle (if I finish season one)
MacGyver (love how it is almost a parody of macgyver)
Arq/Timeless (I am a sucker for time travel)
Stan Against Evil

 

[RatskyWatsky]

I'm shocked critics gave Queen Sugar such positive reviews. I struggled to make it through the first episode, and while the second was definitely an improvement, it's still Hallmark Channel level shit mixed with some ABC primetime soap, plus a dash of cable edge.

Spoiler

I mean, the opening scene involves Rutina Wesley sensuously getting out of bed and getting dressed, only to be warmly greeted by the ridiculously hunky (and naked) cop/detective that she's sleeping with. And then of course the other sister meets a hunky, honest, down to earth dude just days after she leaves her no good, lying, cheating big city basketball player husband. Hmm, I wonder what's going to happen there? And don't even get me started on that preschool teacher. Oh my god. Literally every scene with her is so awful and embarrassing.

Also, several reviews have made special mention of the series' quietude, going so far as to compare it to Rectify, which makes me wonder if critics were sent episodes with incomplete sound mixing, because in the ones I watched there was almost never actually a moment of silence - whenever the characters aren't speaking (and sometimes when they are), there's music fucking blaring into my ear holes. There's literally almost not one scene without some loud music playing in the background/foreground.

I'll keep watching because I was sort of compelled by the second half of episode 2, but this is definitely getting filed under "not great soap opera that I'm still watching because of reasons".
