I thought it was pretty terrible at all times.

Agreed. Some episodes are okay but some are really bad and it's not helped by the acting which is horrible at times. I don't care for soft-core porn enough to keep watching this mess.

when my brothe rin law was staying with us for a bit he got us watching Forged in fire on History channel.
interesting and strangely addicting.

I've been hooked on FiF since it started. It's like a cooking show but with fire, hammers, and weapons. I think I've learned enough to be a master blacksmith by now.

If you want to see something really bonkers on History, watch Knight Fight. Just a bunch of dudes beating each other over the head with blunted axes and swords. I don't believe they follow a concussion protocol...I'm really kind of surprised the lawyers allow it.

This has probably been mentioned here, but if you haven't watched Drunk History, I highly recommend it. It's clever, hilarious and highly educational!

we're watching that, too.
kind of cheezy, but entertaining. I didn't realize until seeing the show that there was an actual armored combat league in the states.

new episode tonight, everyone.

[Fuzz]

Oh, it's super cheezy. I skip most of the talking stuff and just watch the concussions. Cuts the episodes down to about 10-15 minutes.

Watched the first couple episodes of True Detective season 3, and so far its waaaaaaay better than season 2, and is much more comparable to season 1. Looking forward to finishing it.

Not anymore, tonight's episode was fracking tragic.

Just finished binge watching all three seasons of Crashing and found it to be highly enjoyable. Would recommend!

Fargo is excellent. I can’t decide which season I like best.

Filmed right around my office no less. I like them all, they're really good.

I liked season 1 the best. The second and third dragged too much and got boring/bad I thought.

To each their own, I felt that it kind of grew into its groove while maintaining its style.

[Fuzz]

Second season was the best, but first was #1. And the third, well that one was tops for sure.

[Cecil Terwilliger]

It reminds me of Twin Peaks in a lot of ways. Especially some of the more “out there” stuff from S2 and S3.

[Yamer]

It's definitely tough to pick favorite season of Fargo. The villains in each have been absolutely brilliant.

Looking forward to see what Chris Rock does in S4.

[Displaced Flames fan]

So, this is coming to HBO....a miniseries, but.....I will be all over it

Saw the pilot of What We Do In The Shadows the other night. Written by Jemaine Clement and directed by Taika Waititi. It didn't disappoint.

Of particular mirth was the introduction of a new type of vampire: The Energy Vampire. Look for that in this series trailer. I was literally ROFL as the energy vampire used his power against his victims. Amazing stuff. Highly recommend.

I’m a big Matt Berry fan so I was excited to see him in this but I think Mark Proksch as the Energy Vampire stole the show.

Line of the episode though:

Spoiler!

”They’re half drunk.”

“Where’d they find the alcohol?”

“No, they’ve been half drunk.”

[Weitz]

Veep is amazing. How did I not find this show till now?

Absolutely hilarious.
