No horsing around on this week's silicon valley ;)
SPOILER WARNING: Prestige Television Discussion
Game Of Thrones has been so slow. I feel like the first 4 episodes could have been cut down for one large extended season premiere or 2 episodes at most. We'll see if they hit hyper speed in the last 6 episodes. Lots of moving pieces, but I wonder where it ends up at.
Got an email saying Peaky Blinders season 3 is now on Netflix. I sincerely thought that show was cancelled. It dragged on for so long. It took me a long time to finish season 2. I wanted to finish it just so I could take it off my queue . What a boring show.
Im slow at watching tv shows. On season 4 of true blood. Jesus, that show bit the big shitter.
yeah True Blood just got worse and worse!
Anyone else watching Preacher?
I didn't start it yet, but I am really excited to see it. Preacher is such a great comic book.

I think I stopped watching after that demon lady made everyone in the town horny or something. I can't remember. It started as a cool take on racism and the idea of vampires being out in the open was cool but then it really went batshit insane and it lost me. I think that was one of the first shows I ever bought on DVD….. just season 1 though.
We binged season 2 of Happy Valley on netflix over the weekend…. in typical BBC fashion 6 great episodes and done, no filler or convoluted plot twists…
speaking of bbc….has anyone seen Jack Irish
I really think Guy is the nazz

Vinyl cancelled
I know everyone on here was blinded by the musical element but it really was an awful, awful television program.

the headline for that was classic
HBO scratches Vinyl, rendering it unplayable
so I really wanted it to be awesome, but even I have no desire to watch it
I really liked James Jagger tho
and I didn't know it was mick's son until later in the season

SideStageHead wrote:The soundtrack was admittedly great as was some of the faux-classic bands. The story, though, was a steaming pile, the characters were utterly uninteresting, and the plot basically consisted of Bobby Cannavale pretending to do coke and yell "the music man! the feelings!" Oh well, classic "better concept than execution" example.

I guess we know what time slot the new David Simon series is getting. . .
I knew it was in trouble when the Mrs stopped watching. I enjoyed most of it, but yeah, it had a lot of holes. I basically watched the last 3 episodes just to see if Olivia Wilde got naked. I'll just assume punk music wins out in the end…

Did that ever happen?

Episode 6, but not to occur again, sadly.
Pitchfork Weighs in on the Vinyl Cancellation
Money shot: "?Vinyl? thought it was clever, fictionalized historiography, but it was actually rusty old rock ideology clad in retro aesthetics, designed for a recap-friendly, reference-spotting audience who could skim past more cumbersome political realities and who don?t care much for character depth. Rock as an idea might keep devising ways to maintain mainstream relevance, but music fans should be grateful that HBO took ?Vinyl? out of circulation."

Last nights GoT was like watching a movie. The whole episode was gorgeous to even just look at. By far the most epic episode in the whole series. They did an amazing job tying a lot of the storylines together and leading into a massive showdown for next season. Very excited to see how this all plays out.
I was actually a fan of the Starks last night. First time since Ned died.
