My Random TV Thread

Netflix Recommendation:

"Fauda" is a contemporary series about an Israeli counter terrorism unit operating in the West Bank. It is really well done.
Sadly only 12 episodes.

Unless you are able to channel your inner Ziva David, you will have to tolerate the subtitles as it is primarily in Hebrew and Arabic. Absolutely worth it though in my opinion.
If you've not watched Fauda yet, get your shit together....season two just came out today!

I'm only one episode in of a 4 part documentary, Evil Genius. It is about the 2003 bank robbery/ collar bomb murder in Erie, PA. I would not watch it with the kiddos around because it does show the bomb's detonation. Ep 1 is solid.
 
HBO shows are great, but do they always have to be so self-indulgent with the opening titles? They're like half the show.
 
For sure. That whole story left my head swimming. I’m gonna gonnack and rewatch in a few weeks and see if I pick up the same things

One episode left, what a dumpster fire. Bodies were dropping like cholera and the police forgot how to collect evidence.
 
Dear Rosanne,

Your tweet wasn't even funny...and now ABC has cancelled your TV show.

Wanda Sykes quits Roseanne Barr's TV show following Valerie Jarrett tweet | Daily Mail Online

ABC has decided to cancel Roseanne Barr's television show just hours after the comedian posted a racist tweet about Valerie Jarrett.
The network released a statement on Tuesday afternoon, calling Barr's tweets 'abhorrent, repugnant, and inconsistent with our values'.
'We have decided to cancel her show,' it concluded.
Barr has come under fire after she tweeted that Jarrett looked like the 'Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby'.


To add....

I'd imagine White House staff members everywhere are taking turns hiding the President's phone so that he can not somehow send a tweet of support for Rosanne and attack ABC.

"How to end your career, in 1 easy step" by Roseanne Barr

I dont understand the mental process that goes through people's head when they do something like this.
 
Ya know, I feel for the cast of actors on a show like this. John Goodman and Lori Metcaff took a chance and came back, the other actresses who saw the potential for a regular paycheck again....and just like that, "cancelled".

I can only try to imagine the anger they must all have towards her today....but as @Salt USMC said above, they had to know they were on a roller coaster that could derail at any moment.
 
I just dont see where the disconnect happens, I love really fucked up gallows humor. But, I understand theres a time and a place, and that some people dont even want to hear it.

You would think being something on the same level as a Nazi, you would keep your views on the down low instead of reminiscing the years where German Shepherds and fire hoses were the answer to all the world's problems. I don't know maybe its just me.


But yeah @racing_kitty said, Hellen Keller saw this shit coming.
 
Shezilla just got a Netflix account and on the advice of Human ManChild #2 we have started to watch Peaky Blinders. We saw the first 3 episodes of Season 1 last night.

Finally caught up on Peaky Blinders after tonight. What a fucking show.

Yeah, definitely Binge-Watch potential.

Just a couple of petty criticisms. Opium makes you relaxed and reduces anxiety--for the short term--that's why people smoke it. In the show it makes him have combat nightmares. Also, if you put razorblades in your hat and use your hat for blinding people and giving them Glasgow Smiles, isn't your hat going to get all bloody and nasty? Who's washing all the hats?
