What about Sense8 anybody? If you thought Orphan Black was confusing try this on Netflix from the Wachowskis! And yet, it kinda makes sense :cool: Also anticipating "Humans" and the new season of "Orange is the New Black". Plus, "Penny Dreadful" is madmadmad.

If you guys have Netflix and haven't already caught on to this then I highly recommend Black Mirror. I believe it's from Channel 4 over on the other side of the pond.

Every episode is a new and intricate "mind fuck". It's actually hard to see a lot of the twists this show throws at you. I really like shows like this too where each episode is a new story in a different world. The episode White Bear was my personal favorite and I still think the first episode is one of the most disturbinging things I've seen on TV.

I go where the thrills are
Yup. Started watching Halt and Catch Fire when it first aired. Great show.

And yeah, Orphan Black is a good one.......Haven't seen any of Season 3 yet. Binge recorded Seasons 1 and 2 on IFC.

Season 3 is freaking nuts, in a good way. Orphan Black has gotta be among the most fun TV shows of the past 20 years. :nod:

Black Mirror was new and fresh. I hear that a movie might be made based on one of the episodes.

I am looking forward to this new show. It's on TNT, I didn't catch this last season. It's an apolcolyptic program where 80% of humanity has died.

Halt and Catch Fire is especially good if you're old enough to remember those times when personal computers, video games and chat rooms were first introduced. Brings back a lot of memories.........like CompuServe. hehe

btw, anyone check out Humans on AMC as well?

Halt and Catch Fire is an epic show. Waiting for the new season to come on for the summer. Really enjoyed the first season.

I'm watching right now:

1. Suits - epic show, just love it.
2. Graceland. Another epic show.
3. Between.
4. Wayward Pines - this show has to be my favourite right now.
5.

Yes, I'm liking it, great when vaked :peace:, as is Penny Dreadful. Not convinced by Wayward Pines... was hoping for Twin Peaks but it's more like The Dome :smug: Also like Suits (kinda a guilty pleasure) and had to watch True Detective SE02EP01 twice to make sense of it, but it's stylish, I think.

Suits is a fun watch :)

I like that they kinda tipped the "innate genius" trope on its head...

Mike has this brilliant idetic memory, has passed the bar multiple times, and in theory should essentially be the house/Sherlock of the show.

But instead it comes down to Harvey knowing HOW the law works, not WHAT the law says...

They still get to use mike for the "zoom in wide eyes revelation", but it's usually while he's doing grunt work for Harvey or something.

I like the dynamic :)

"You just got Litt up" :lol:

Yeah it's quite the show. It's how law really works to be honest. At work I use to have a "Harvey" she was a great woman. The cases we did were epic. She's long gone though. Watching that show reminds me of our days to a certain extent.

I have a friend who is a legal clerk, and he said a similar thing
"It may still be TV law, but it a hell of a lot closer to what we actually do" :lol:

Court on the other hand doesn't really work like that. The shit they get away with lol. If I ever pulled that I would be in jail for contempt haha. The bluffs with the false document or non existent documents is a little off too. Can't be going around doing that. Haha. I saw them filming once before. Half the show is filmed in toronto. Their "office" is at King and Bay in Toronto. If you look closely you'll see Toronto stuff in the background. Filmed minutes away from the big court house in Toronto which you see occasionally.

@mitchgo61 Have you been watching BB17? Feeds are great this year, and I've gotten a beevy of OT at work, which is awesome as my job allows me to listen/watch the feeds as I do work....2 birds, 1 stone!

I didn't expect it, but so far Mr. Robot has caught my attention.. I can't remember the last time I watched anything on USA...

I still haven't caught the new True Detective.. I'm kind of waiting for the season to be mostly over, so I can binge watch it :spliff:

Black Mirror was a trip! I saw those a little while back :tup:
