TV New Season!

[Roo Stercogburn]

Yeh, I still remember Flash Gordon. Dreadful.

 

[MYstIC G]

The writer/creator for Farscape is involved so it has potential but considering the network my expectations are limited.

I'd imagine they'll be more limited when Joss Whedon says they're ripping off Firefly?

Firefly with no ship

Shocking news. SyFy actually making a new sci-fi show.

Anyone else catch Utopia on Channel 4 last night?

So far it's pretty good. Has the potential to be one of those shows where the first episode is much stronger than the rest, but it's been set up quite well. For the most part I really enjoyed it. Good to see something a little more adventurous on TV.

Weeee Supernatural starts up again tonight

What did you reckon? Ep 2 was pretty good as well.

 

[ECA]

I really liked ep1, downloaded ep2 but havn't watched it yet.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

So far it's the best thing I've seen Britain produce, TV-drama wise for a good long time. I really hope the quality remains throughout.

new parks & rec "I LOVE NOTHING!!!!!!!" bahahahaahahahahah

 

[soze]

I just watched the first episode of The Following and it was brilliant, it has so much potential. Which normally means it will be shit canned in 6 weeks time

Purefoy plays Joe Carroll, a former college professor who taught the works of Poe and killed young women in the gothic hero's honor—until he got caught. Since then he's been spending hours on a computer in the prison library, building a social network of copycat killers who hang on his every command. When the series begins, he's just escaped from death row with help from those followers, and the FBI calls in former agent Ryan Hardy (Bacon)—who brought down Joe the first time—to consult on the case.

 

[caLLous]

Yeah I saw a trailer for that last week, it does look good.

Watched it today and loved it. Hope it doesn't get shit canned.

Jerry's little giggle after that was priceless.

Also, one of the daughters looking at him and just saying "no".

You need a few more episodes before you can really judge if a series will last. If I remember right last year Alcatraz got similar high ratings for it's premier and two months later it was already cancelled. A good pilot doesn't necessarily make a good show.

 

[Cerb]

I just really hope The Following doesn't fall into the same trap that Alcatraz did - I.E. a mystery of the week type procedural.

It seems like everyone producing television looks at the drivil that is CSI/NCIS/Criminal minds/Bones and says "hey we should do that too". At least it seems like the market for those is saturated.....well....except for how well that POS "Elementary" is doing.

 

[Raven]

I don't mind a story a week, so long as they run in some sort of order and add to the main story. Dexter for example does it very well.

You can still make that idea work, but it is getting increasingly difficult to stand out. Ripper Street is pretty much a "Victorian CSI" but its no worse for that, and there's some nice backstory going on to keep the whole thing moving along. Also helps that its got decent actors (it was like Game of Thrones reunion week this week).

Great British Menu starts tonight, BB2/HD 7:30pm.

One of the best food shows around, always fantastic.
