Thread: teevee sucks

    Anyone whatching Better Call Saul? I like it so far, same style as BB which is no surprise. But I once read it should be more comedy and less drama. I don't have that impression yet.

    Just saw the season 2 finale of Hannibal. Great show. Surprised it's not more popular than it is.

    Started watching The Following on Netflix. Haven't quite finished the first season yet, but it's pretty good.

    Meh, we watched the first season, but after a season of watching the FBI screw up more than CTU from 24, we gave up.

    It's lazy writing.

    Meh, nothing really stuck out as implausible or lazy writing to me. I mean you do have to suspend disbelief a bit for the core premise, but beyond that I thought it was all pretty believable.

    I'm with Veldan on this one. It was hard for me to not think about how bad the decisions they kept making were.

    The premise was awesome, the idea of making the FBI a bunch of morons was lazy.

    In a short while I'll be having a look at CSI Cyber.

    When one remembers how hilariously bad CSI approached computer science in general, this should be a trainwreck of epic proportions.

    I don't know what you're talking about. Two people on one keyboard is twice as efficient at hacking!

    Due to my new SSD (and the subsequent reinstallation of Windows) I have yet to see the whole episode but currently it's on a normal CSI level of terribad.

    Is there any tv show that shows computer and internet stuff in a somewhat realistic way? I mean, I don't mind some artistic licence, but it would be refreshing to see some at least not entirely ridiculous scenes about computers.

    Anyone recall this ludicruous scene from Password Swordfish with the 9 monitors?

    I mainly remember from swordfish that he got a bj while hacking, to be honest.

    What's wrong with that?

    Everyone knows you have to move blobs onto a cubed frame to hack stuff.

    Extra skillz shown here for bashing away frantically at the keyboard and no use of a mouse whatsoevah.

    Well, just using your keyboard can be faster, depending on what you do. There's a reason people tend to know all the shortcuts for the programs they work most with! Gotta love the visual representation though, that's always grand in any film or tv series. And of course it's very ergonomic to have your extra displays high up so you need to stand while typing!

    I have to admit I don't know how one would actually hack something, and how it looks.

    It's either very, very quick if you have the right tools for the right weaknesses or it's very, very boring and time-consuming.

    My wife's been following it and I've been impressed with what I've seen even though I strongly dislike one of the main characters. Not my cup of tea, but even so.

    I've been trying to like Scorpion but it's not the easiest thing in the world to do. The entire show is just so fucking Fox, at least for the first five or so episodes. It seems to have no idea what its target audience is so it targets a hypothetical audience that has no taste or demands or interest and of course it shows no respect for that audience. Slightly odd casting choices, but they work well apart from the main character. You def. get the feeling the real Walter O'Brien had a great deal of influence on the show still, it's showing some improvement so I'll give it some more time.

    Agent Carter, in contrast, has been frickin' amazing. I was a little skeptical at first but it's gotten better and better for every episode, even though they had a few occasions when it felt like they were about to start passing around the Stupid Ball. Def. learned some valuable lessons from the mistakes made by AoS.

    Elementary has been a mixed bag lately, but I still enjoy watching it and I think it's beginning to recover from Season 3 Syndrome. Blacklist on the other hand has been less enjoyable and seems to be suffering from early-onset Season 3 Syndrome. Teevee generally sucks right now but Flash has been a very pleasant surprise apart from the iffy early episodes. Looking forward to more awesomeness from that show.

    Spader is the only enjoyable part of Blacklist.

    His writers have become a little too impressed with themselves and with his character, they have an unfortunate tendency to get carried away these days.

    I was so bored with this week's episode I gave up on it.


    This season of The Americans is pretty good, though.

    Finally got around to finishing House of Cards yesterday. This was the weakest season yet.

    Spoiler:
    Frank seemed uncharacteristically stupid and lacked the self-control he had in previous seasons, and the story-lines just weren't as engaging as the other two. I'm also disappointed that the Underwoods weren't the evil bastards they had previously been. This season, Frank was just a jerk, and Claire wasn't even that.

    Oh, that's a shame.

    Am halfway through season 2 on boxset and loving it.

    Anyone watching Fortitude, reportedly Sky's most expensive ever production?

    Set in a remote Norwegian island within the Arctic circle, a couple of savage, motiveless murders has the town on edge. 7 episodes in and we're still not sure if there's some supernatural element to the proceedings.

    It's good.

    The first two were great! The third one was alright.
