The Television Streaming Thread: Now With Felonies

Season 1 was the best, but 2 & 3 were still damn good fun, and the closing credits of the final episode are the funniest thing they did, so do not miss that.

Also pretty sure @beetlejuice introduced it to me via this thread.

S1 of The Boys was outstanding. Iā€™ve seen it twice now and just watched these preview clips for s2 coming in September.

As youā€™ll see, they already had a legendary cast, including Karl Urban (McCoy/Bones from the Star Trek film reboots, Judge Dredd), but now they have Aya Cash (Youā€™re the Worst), Giancarlo Esposito (Gus from Breaking Bad/BCS), and Patton fuckin Oswalt. LIT.

Skip to 47:35 below for the first 3 minutes of s2.

Have we all just given in to clickbait now? What a repulsive headline.

Yeah lol had no clue what the ā€œbig catchā€ is. Maybe they mean itā€™s the last season or that it will come out in two parts? But just posted that article for the info regarding the 4th season, donā€™t think it was confirmed before this

So I just finished the first episode of Perry Mason? Am I missing something? Why the hell isnā€™t he a lawyer? Perry Mason is supposed to be a lawyer, right?

Ok, for real finale of The Shield starting now. Letā€™s do this!

The big catch should be that my high roller poker player role becomes recurring.

My dad has every old Perry Mason episode on VHS. I told him about the new show and he already knew about it, but has no plans to watch because itā€™s just Perry Mason in name only. He has no doubt that it could be good, but heā€™s not rushing to see it because of the name.

This is annoying to me, but not as annoying as if they remade Quincy and he wasnā€™t a Medical Examiner. Iā€™d be fucking furious about that.

And then the reverse is true too, people are going to be put off of it because they donā€™t want to watch a the show their grandfather used to watch about the old timey lawyer guy who got people to confess on the stand. Whatā€™s next, HBO makes an Andy Griffith Show reboot about a hard nosed vice cop in 1980s New York City?

The stuff Iā€™ve read about the show describe it as an original story portraying Perry Mason before he became a lawyer.

Lol I would totally watch that trailer.

Just saw the trailer. Hype. This looks awesome.

Episode is still going but typing my thoughts about the series as they enter my heavily buzzed brain (parents picked up the daughter today so Iā€™m playing hooky and watching TV and enjoying a silent house for an afternoon).

- Love the return of Andre 3000

- Julienā€™s character never really panned out. Could have been something interesting involving the conversion therapy he went through, but they just dropped it. Hey, I guess that therapy works! (joking obviously and Iā€™ll remove it if anyone is offended, that type of therapy is disgusting)

- I couldnā€™t remember Julienā€™s name when typing up that last point, so I googled him and the the actor Michael Jace is in prison for the murder of his wife. Crazy.

- this scene with Shane at the payphone talking to Vic is some pretty good acting. I havenā€™t been too impressed with Walton Goggins acting ability but that was solid.

- him immediately turning into a druggie after one night being forced to do some blow is pretty lame writing

- this storyline with Butch and the serial killer kid is just dumb/weird. I get that they have to give him something do while the real story is going on, but cā€™mon. If he ends up going down for the murder of the serial killer kidā€™s mom, I will unfortunately have to call this a terrible show.

- i do like the character development of Ronnie. I actually thought he was gonna get killed as kind of a throwaway character in like S2 or 3, but heā€™s developed into a pretty good bad guy.

- still disappointed Glenn Close only had one season

- David Aceveda - i dunno what i think. sometimes i thought his storyline was decent, sometimes it sucked.

- Shane saying hi to his neighbor like it was no big deal and going into his house with a few little gifts even though he knows he intentionally gave the jig is up was pretty cool. he still sucks balls, tho

- oh damn he shot himself

- wait he killed his family too? cā€™mon! wtf!? FUCK THAT GUY FOREVER. Mara sucked but his kid and unborn baby? I hope his stupid fucking sitcom gets canceled.

- uh oh Ronnie, Vic hung you out to dry. donā€™t be so happy, pal.

- lol someone needs to shoot Aceveda during this press conference

- CCH Pounder is good. real good.

- honestly the play between Dutch and her was awesome the entire series. great partnership and great casting.

- steve billings was annoying and he was designed to be

- aw andre 3000 got got?

- tina sucks all around

- you know what, Dutch did kill that alley cat so maybe he needs to go down too

- fuck Shane for life

- Vicā€™s daughter is his daughter in real life (random trivia)

- this is a great scene with him in the interrogation room at the end

- ronnie, you dumb dumb! youā€™re dumber than donnie dumb dumb!

- ok thankfully itā€™s looking good for dutch in ā€œdutch vs the 8 year old boy geniusā€ so this might go down as a great show after all

- desk duty is a punishment for Vic, but not enough (doesnā€™t mean that affects my liking of the show tho)

- lol i love the way the HR lady is describing the rules of this federal building

- you know what, iā€™m drunk but iā€™m happy tina got a cake for her one year anniversary

- being reduced to nothing and never seeing your kids again is a big punishment for vic, but like a said a few points up, itā€™s not enough. he didnā€™t win, but he didnā€™t entirely lose either

- while nothing is happening her for a sec, the season(s?) with Forrest Whitaker were pretty decent, as was his character. I knew Glenn Close was on the show, but I didnā€™t know he was so it was cool when he popped on the screen

- i hope in between the final credits as part of the outro they show Ronnie getting shanked

- wait is Vic gonna kill himself too?

- oh nope, prob just gonna go solve more crimes

- THE END

- posted w/o review

yeah you bricked the spoiler on that one, try again

fuck why is it not spoiling?

I think you have to have the spoiler tags on the beginning/end of a line, not their own separate lines.

oh jesus lol
