Anyone know the deal with amazon prime pilots (yes I've bought a sub' and stopped stealing shit )? Oasis seemed pretty good*, a bit rushed towards the end but it's a pilot. Hoping there will be a full series?
Also watched The Tick, better than I was expecting, looking forward to the series next month.
*a few worrying similarities to Lost though |

I've been a massive fan of the Preacher comics so was really excited when they announced the TV show. I agreed with the casting (except Ruth Negga initially), and decided to wait until the end of the series and binge it. Then forgot until Season 2 was starting.
I downloaded all of S1, and watched it over a couple of days. Then, took out a free Prime membership for a month and watched S2 up until the last one.
I really enjoyed the first season. It was different to the comics, but I loved them that much that I was happy to see more stories. Some characters were criminally under-used, some are/were brilliant, and yeah, overall it was a good season.
Season two is a different kettle of fish. The change of scenery is a shot in the arm. Moving to New Orleans with the neon, jazz and "real" people is great. Some of the characters are really growing, the Saint of Killers was an amazing character, and I hope to see more in the future. Fiore and DeBlanc really were great too.
Looking forwards to see more of this, hoping it leads into Jesse's family history whilst they are down that neck of the woods.
Also -
GoT - the new series has started off steady, lets see what happens.
Harlots - an ITV / HBO thing that was very entertaining, with Samantha Morton and bewbs.
Outcast - Season 1 was brilliant, season 2 is slow so far. Good idea though.
Key and Peele - Not a boxset, really, but I've been watching their sketch show. At times it is insanely funny, and other times it is a bit hit and miss, but 5 seasons in total, worth a watch.
Oh, and started SOA season 6 again. ____________________ thx1138 wrote: Well if you had a car, I'd bet it would smell like urine had had drunken sex with vomit and made a poo baby.

I've foolishly overlooked this show for years, I'm probably going to order the box set very soon. |
You should, if there was a top 10 crime/drama list on the BCF, this would be the number one show to watch or at least in the top three. The way the producers worked with the storyline and characters is exceptional. You really become to know the main characters and care about them. The show had its lows, but that's just a few episodes very late in the series, so you already either like the Sopranos and will watch through it or you've never got passed the first season and won't care.
After The Sopranos, I decided to try the next big thing: The Wire (2002). I watched the pilot and decided not to carry on. I guess the Wire is one of those shows that worked great when released, but didn't hold up well. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

Ozark , first series on Netflix (or download elsewhere )
8.7/10 on IMDB https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5071412/?ref_=nv_sr_1
Absolutely brilliant. If you were a Breaking Bad fan, you will love this.
Financial advisor ends up laundering for a Mexican cartel, has to move with family due to crazy Mexicans, and has to launder millions, while also getting tied up with a crazy hillbilly family, and redneck heroin dealers.
Very very good. I binge-watched in 3 days. Only problem now is I have to wait for a year for series 2. ____________________ CBT passed 02/02/17, Theory passed 21/02/17, Mod 1 passed 10/07/17, Mod 2 passed 14/07/17

I gave HoC a go and it was pretty much what I expected (a boring political drama). Also gave Under the Dome a go which was garbage, and American Playboy which's part documentary, part dramatisation when they should have picked one or the other.
Oh well I'll have to drip feed the latest GoT series to get my fix |

Urgh, I guess I should, but it depends who was behind the camera.
Jessica Jones - surprisingly superb.
Daredevil - the supporting cast were mostly great + brutal action scenes.
Luke Cage - tedious and morose drawn out blaxploitation.
Iron Fist - muh culshural approprates! Also, hipster tosser. Also j-j-j-j-ump cuts.
That Iron Fist was apparently the most popular of the four on Netflix gives me a sad. I'd really just prefer another series of Jessica Jones, or for that matter a Wilson and Vanessa Show spinoff from Daredevil, since they were hugely more interesting than the nominal leads.

I spent most of the first episode wondering who the blind guy was, so maybe I should watch Daredevil* first Pretty much agree with you on the others, I didn't finish hipster and his magical wank hand.
*the Ben Affleck effort put me off for good I think |
