It's a show about engineers working in Silicon Valley by Mike Judge. Judge just nails this part of society so well...

Some good laughs.
Fuck, I saw the trailers and thought it looked decent, but they never mentioned it was by Mike Judge. Sounds like a must-watch.

It'll be a one season-wonder :(
HBO just picked up Silicon Valley for a second season :D

Friends with better lives

I didn't expect to like this as much as I do. I was thinking I'd be turning it off part way into the first ep but here I am 3 EPs in and pissing myself with laughter. I find a lot of the comedy relevant to my life... I probably laugh too loud at the married couple and sometimes wonder what my wife thinks of that...

Dawson is great and doesn't play the obvious character for him. He plays a dude who has divorced from a 12 year marriage that started after high school. It's cool to see him play a dude who now has to navigate the dating scene, a life he has never had to deal with.

Kevin Connolly is probably my fave. He plays a married with kids character. Just his somewhat defeated delivery feels so perfect. If you're married or in a long term relationship you can relate to how he feels. It may not be exactly the same but you can understand the mindset.

It's better than expected and fills the gap left by himym nicely.

It won't be everyone's cup of tea but it's better than your generic US comedy crap... imo.

‘Friday the 13th’ TV Series Announced

Crystal Lake is finally reopening on the small-screen.
While Platinum Dunes works out their remake for 2015, Emmett/Furla/Oasis Films and Crystal Lake Entertainment have set a deal to produce a new hourlong dramatic series based upon the characters and settings of Friday The 13th, Deadline reports.

Sean S. Cunningham, who helmed the 1980 original, will be executive producer along with EFO Films principals Randall Emmett & George Furla, Dan Farrands, Mark Canton of Atmosphere Entertainment MM, Steve B. Harris of Diversion3 Entertainment, and Ted Fox of Fox Entertainment. Also producing is Horror Inc. president Robert Barsamian, who produced the features. The series was conceived by Daniel Farrands & Geoff Garrett.

Bill Basso (Terminator) and Jordu Schell (Avatar) have been set to script “a storyline that re-imagines Jason in multiple time periods.”
seems to be the new thing remake movies into tv shows, from dusk till dawn, fargo now this

Brooklyn Nine-Nine has been a pleasant surprise.

Despite Andy Samberg (The Lonely Island) and Terry Crews (Old Spice commericals) being 2 of the main characters in the show, it's nowhere near as amateur as you'd expect.

Give it a try and Watch the first couple of episodes - I recommend it.

John Wesley Shipp who played the flash in the 90/91 series will be showing up in this too (maybe as an older flash)

Tell you what... Just finished the season finale of Agents of SHIELD. Fucking loved it. Slow burn of a season but it exploded in the last half and cranked it up. Loved how it is in sync with the other marvel movies and yeah.. Pumped that it has been renewed.

Other than Buffy.. Can't remember a show that got consistently better with each episode.

My brother in law put me onto Veep recently.

Julia Louis Dreyfus is outstanding in this as the Vice President of the U.S of A. Tony Hale (Buster Bluth) is great. Great show. Seinfeld fans need to get this. It's like an unshackled and uncensored Elaine. It's like we get to see Elaine without a camera on her...swearing, making threats and generally being terrible but with real power. I don't know why I hadn't gotten around to this until now.

They should have just made a Flash film. This looks like cheap garbage.

Extremely meh. Give it to Marvel, they know how to treat their characters with respect. If Guardians of the Galaxy can get a movie Flash is definitely worthy.

Arrow has been awesome and has been the best superhero tv we've ever had. I think with Geoff Johns writing the pilot we'll be fine.

'Some of the best superhero TV we've had' isn't exactly a high bar to clear. :lol:

I'm aware of that. I'm never going to say Arrow is the best show on tv, but it's great superhero tv that respects the shit out of the character and the entire DC universe.

I would like to see WB/DC fail hard at all these teen drama 'superhero' shows (Smallville, Arrow & Flash), just so they would learn they're lesson & do their characters & DC universe justice.

WB don't care about how the characters are represented, they just want viewers & the majority of these will be teeny boppers looking for a 'power' induced spin on Dawson's Creek...
