I just wanted to post that I've been watching Chasing Life on ABC Spark (ABC Family in the US). I wanted to watch something completely different from what I usually watch and I was curious about the premise of the show (early 20's female diagnosed with Leukemia and having to deal with all of that). It doesn't get super dark because it's an ABC Family show after all but I've been enjoying it.

Yes! My bad, I completely forgot to talk about Longmire.
Straight talk: This is the best season of Longmire yet. This is the season where everyone's lives begin to implode and unravel. The serialization's been kicked up a notch too, and all the actors get a chance to do their best work thus far in the series.
Some spoilers, I'll tag them:
Branch Connelly's descent into madness has been my favourite part of the season. He want from bland pretty-boy cowboy to severely damaged and unhinged paranoid lunatic in the wake of his shooting from last season.
Walt's wife's case has also taken some interesting turns with Henry being put on trial and his and Walt's arch-nemesis getting out of the police custody.
And that whole David Ridges thing was fucked up but cool to see.

Two reviews for The Honorable Woman:
- Onion A|V Club: The Honorable Woman is ambitious and riveting
- Poniewozik: Maggie Gyllenhaal is captivating in a twisty Middle East espionage thriller with timely--and timeless--themes.

Good to hear:
Maureen Ryan said:
Just wanted to say thank you for the list. Because of this snip above, I looked into the show. I actually hadn't ever heard of it which surprises the hell out of me. Anyway, about 4 episodes in and I could not agree more. It is beautiful and so very human.
This looks good.

Ehhh. This has been on my radar ever since it was first announced due to its unique premise/setting, but my interest has gone down considerably after watching that trailer. That looked really really rough and reminded me a whole lot of Rogue. (especially with the juvenile "We're a gritty cable drama so we can say "Fuck" every 3 seconds!!!" mentality that it seems to have)
will probably still watch ;___;
*high five*
Now it's Cornballer's turn!

Seriously. I have enough mediocre tv that I watch each week, so I should just cut some of the fat out of the lineup and watch Rectify.*high five*
Now it's Cornballer's turn!

Getting geared up for the Fall already, NY Mag has a list of known premiere dates for August through December.
Man didn't realise Intruders premiers this month on the other side of the pond. Airs in the Autumn over here
Excited about that one, John Simm is the man. Recommend watching Prey if you can from earlier in the year

Whelp, if you ever wondered what Walter White would have looked like if Sean Bean had played him, give this a watch.
It was okay, a little budget and the computer stuff was terribad but I'll watch some more.
Ahhhh, all caught up on Rectify (with the exception of last night's episode) so now I need more shows! Any impressions on The Last Ship? On the surface it looks like the comic The Massive but... probably a bit more 'actiony' and less mysterious. Wary of it. I do have a couple episodes of The Honourable Woman to watch though, hoping that is good. I am also starting Utopia finally.
Rectify seems to be one of those shows that creates a wake of 'nothing is as good as this!' behind it -.-

Wait they replaced Rachel too? WTF indeed!

Yep, that one was equally as strange. I Yahoo!ed after a minute of the ep as something seemed off and I was confronted by news of her and the pretty boy.
They made a joke about the Rachel being different since Cuckoo went AWOL and just from the first episode they seemed to have rewritten her character.

Tonight I will check out Legends and The Knick. Hope it's a fun watch!

It looks exactly like I thought it would from reading the description, down to the color palette. Not sure if I'm game for yet another dreary, depressing kidnapping/murder series.
Just finished watching season 2 of Rogue...I know there was a thread about this show but I cant find it...anyway it was pretty good,both season are good,they are only 10 episodes a season,I like the moody,dark almost serie noir atmosphere of the show...
Hopefully there's a season 3,considering the way it ended lol...

You're in luck! It was recently renewed for two more seasons.
Good news for you: 'Rogue' Renewed by DirecTV for Two Additional Seasons.

- NY Mag: 33 Fall TV Shows to Look Out For
Vert boil

Wait... 33 is a lot and not just the mean amount for telly watching?
The Forever pilot is up on the ABC site.
edit,
Basically an ABC/CW Sherlock Holmes: Medical Examiner show where he's immortal (comes back to life after dying).
The chiquita was a delightful mix of Kristin Kreuk and Angie Harmon.

EW with a new trailer for Transparent.
FWIW, it's probably more interesting to go into the pilot without knowing anything about it.

Might as well include a plug for Happy Valley on Netflix in this thread as well.
Give it a watch, folks.

Finished it a few days ago and quite liked it!
Is this not a miniseries? For some reason I always had that impression.
Too. Much. TV. It was bad enough when I couldn't keep up with movies, now I can't keep with anything.
Sounds and looks decent. Looking forward more to Netflix other big show 'Narcos' though.
