i claudius Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Not watching yet, but I've heard The Knick with Clive Owen is good and the first series started August 8th. Appreciate feedback if anyone is watching. Medical drama set in the 1900s charts the exploits of the staff and patients at a New York hospital, where they try to maintain their reputation for quality care while struggling to keep the doors open very good ,look foreward to each episode 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watched episode 5 last night. Maybe have a look at episode 1 first and see if it's your cup of Lipton's. I think it's the best of the new shows. Careful attention to period details, great cast, outstanding writing and direction. All of the things that were lacking in an earlier period piece called "Copper,' and another called "Hell on Wheels." Imagine being operated on by a surgeon who has spent the evening "relaxing" in an opium den, and then injected himself with cocaine before scrubbing up for your procedure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watched the first episode, but incredible period treatment and all the elements you mentioned, plus I love how they have integrated modern ambient music into the drug-induced moments, etc., and it really works, which often does not in period pieces. I'll comment after watching all the episodes available so far. *and Clive Owen is a great actor, one of my favorites.

jope Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I'm just re-watching "The World's End", a film with a simple answer to "What's the worst that could happen on a night out..." Good call! What a cast! Silly story, though. For reasons unknown to me, I enjoyed it nevertheless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses G. Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I really liked the cast, but not the movie itself. Too silly for me and maybe overly improvised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Frank James Posted September 17, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 17, 2014 I just watched the latest "Ray Donovan." Every episode leaves me wondering what happens next and thinking that I have to wait a whole week to find out. That is my measure of a great show. Just 2 episodes to go this season Thanks for waking me up! I thought episode 10 was the season ender. They have two more hours to straighten this mess out. Word out of Hollywood is there was a big shakeup at the producer level of Ray D. and Ann Biderman is out. If she was in charge of the stable of writers, I'd say they were hanging out in Shorty's room too much, huffing his medical marijuana and oxygen bottle. They need to get reined in, and re-focus. There are too many spinning plates in the air. I'll try not to do a SPOILER, but you guys get touchy sometimes, so proceed with caution. This show needs to tighten up! There's the reporter from Boston, who keeps stirring the pot about the Sully Affair. Something's got to give there. She's been warned, repeatedly, but doesn't listen. You've got this Steve Knight guy, the "motivational speaker", a cross between Tom Cruise in Magnolia, and real world hot dog Tony Robbins. Where's this going, and why? Abby has gone CRAZY, and may not be back, except we know she will, because she and Ray are old Catholic kids, and di-voss is a sin in South Boston. Both of the Donovan children are in deep trouble, for different reasons. I'll leave it at that. Keep the M & M's handy. Mickey has hatched a "plan" that will either be a disaster (likely) or all time great comedy. (Maybe) Bunchy and his traumatic childhood event is a thread that has outgrown its usefulness. "Ah'm a sex-you-ull ano-wreck-sick!" Indeed. Send Bunchy back to Boston and let's have more of Darryl. He's a more interesting character, and deserves a break. He's finally wise to Mickey, at least. Terry and his dumpy girlfriend...She needs to go. Big mistake, her "threatening" Ray at the birthday party. The scenes between Mickey and Shorty have been great. Hope Shorty stays around for a while. Ronald the Degenerate Gambler/Parole Officer is a good addition too. The business with the FBI "swingers" was a step too far into Fantasyland. Hank Azaria is a good actor though. Guess he'll be on call for Ray now? Ray needs to cut Abby loose for a while, move to his apartment, and get back to work on his bread and butter fixer jobs, after he resolves one very dangerous situation. Hey, if Mickey Donovan can get paid to be a "consultant", (well, not any more) so can I. Call me! Only Two more episodes!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patsycat Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) Scott and Bailey - i really like those two. And when i wasa googling i noticed that my Chicago Fire with my firemen is starting very soon... No one told me that. I could have been off with the fairys and nothing ... Anyway, let you off, i found a list of all new and old "Fall" series on Huffington Post. Gives you dates and times and whatever. And quite a good read as well. Next week seems to be the staying at home an downloading week. I thought Ray when he so lovely dived into the sea he was drowning himself.

Frank James Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Having almost lived on the beaches in S. California in my youth, I an tell you that winter or summer, that water is COLD, especially at night. Dangerous too, with those scattered rocks. Ray is going to have severe "shrinkage" when he climbs back out of that surf. No towel to dry off, unless semi-gay Steve comes down to "help."

GrantSmith Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 New show kicking off last night: The Mysteries of Laura...

It seems that Barry can escape the firing squad then. Jamal didn't knock his uncle off when he had the chance, doubtful he'd knock his brother off... Despite the deceit there's a fairly strong underlying need for Jamal to payback his Barry for sticking up for him when they were kids... The wife will be pleased with this update of a 2nd and longer season... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulysses G. Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 For Michael C Hall fans, "Cold in July" is on Pirate Bay with Don Johnson and Sam Shepard as well. I really enjoyed it. A protective father meets a murderous ex-con. Neo-noir directed by Jim Micklee, based on a novel by Joe Lansdale. A dark, grim and violent story of retaliation and retribution. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank James Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 If FX is going to renew "Tyrant", they'd better damn well bring back The Bridge. I love that show. Episode 11 kept the extreme tension jacked up to 11, as usual. Worth the price of admission just to see Eleanor and Sonya having a brief sit-down chat. Wish I could rave on about it, but I know most of you fans aren't up to speed yet. Is there ever a show on TV that doesn't make the CIA seem really evil? Not counting that lame Tom Clancy stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrantSmith Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Speaking of Tyrant... Anyone looking to get their fix of Jamal's wife (Moran Atias)... Set yourself up with... Third Person... Also set yourself up with the same movie if you enjoy seeing Olivia Wilde's boobs Mila Klunis is always a delight to watch, though she's a bit rough in this one... But remember to fast forward the parts involving that muppet James Franco, he adds absolutely ZERO to this film... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jope Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 No, can't do it! Sorry, but I can't handle listening to the precocious wisdoms of 15 year old boys and girls in a hospital for the rich and super-rich. The constant girly music is not helping, either. i quit "Red Band Society" after the pilot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
