Re: Shows You Aren't Watching that Rule
The missus doesn't hate Drew it's more the eating of human flesh and perhaps the trivialization of that kind of violence that she usually doesn't go for. Which is not to say the show does that as I haven't seen it and I think I would likely go for it but she probably would not so ...BostonBeaneater wrote: ↑23 Feb 2017, 10:31pmYeah man, c'mon!

Re: Shows You Aren't Watching that Rule
the show DEFINITELY trivializes the violence of zombies eating people.
it is a good, funny, sometimes gross show. high recommendation from me as well.

I was a little torn about whether to watch it when I found out she was a zombie rather than your run-of-the-mill cannibal. She's a very high functioning zombie, so it was hard to tell from the trailer I watched, but I got over it by the first episode.

Re: Shows You Aren't Watching that Rule
I watched the first episode during my recent return from the outer rings of hell.
First impression was good cast I always like Andy Richter and Nathan Fillion is good most of the time, it was wierd to see "the waitress" in a different role though.
Second impression was the comedy seemed forced at times.
I'll keep watching until I feel myself liking it more or until I've had enough.
Other show I've really been enjoying lately is Baskets.

Re: Shows You Aren't Watching that Rule
The Boss is out of town for a couple weeks, so I usually watch some dumb series that she'd have no interest in. I decided to see how much of Battlestar Galactica (original) I could stand. Similar to my above comment from long ago, I was struck by the silliness of having Cylons in those fighter ships. What is accomplished by having them insider piloting the craft? It's a machine … working a machine. Cut out the middle man, save the Cylons for on-the-ground jobs, and just upload the fighters with the artificial intelligence to fly themselves. Super advanced robots, my ass.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑15 Dec 2014, 7:58pmAnother Battlestar Galactica observation: It's obvious that the Cylons can track the fleet because they keep on meeting up with them. So why the fuck don't they order several of those quasi-Death Stars to just crash into the Galactica and call it a war. Ta-da! Do they have to worry about draining resources or satisfying Cylon public opinion? As machines, they are always on a suicide mission, so get it the fuck over with. (Strictly speaking, the Empire was also unnecessarily hamstrung in its commitment of resources. Stormtroopers exist to be killed so kamikaze them as a basic strategy.)
Also, I couldn't help but feel pity for Lorne Greene. Here's a guy with a distinguished record and he's reduced to reading that inane script.

Late to the party here but this series has been brilliant. Last episode airs tonight. Would love to know if any North Americans have seen it, and what they think of it.101Walterton wrote: ↑18 Nov 2014, 3:13pmHappy Valley. Brilliant stuff, even better than Broadchurch.

Re: Shows You Aren't Watching that Rule
I've seen it all and it's brilliant. I also watched "The Mare of Easttown" with Kate Winslet which is basically a rewrite of "Happy Valley".Heston wrote: ↑05 Feb 2023, 3:39pmLate to the party here but this series has been brilliant.

Re: Shows You Aren't Watching that Rule
I enjoyed Mare also. But it wasn't till afterwards I felt like I'd seen it all before. It's basically a rewrite. Names and places changed but pretty much everything has striking similarities.revbob wrote: ↑05 Feb 2023, 5:29pmReally? I never saw Happy Valley.
