I sincerely don't understand the fuss over House Of Cards. I quit watching that lame, prosaic sh!t since last year. Even the time I forced myself to sit through the complete season one, I found it (wait for the adjectival dirt bomb to explode) ... UNIMAGINATIVELY boring!

What HOC couldn't do to my attention in ONE SEASON - which is arrest it, Designated Survivor managed to do in just ONE EPISODE.

Wow! I'm surprised you didn't like Black Mirror. It's actually the best of the lot. It's theme deals with the danger of technology in our daily lives. Every episodes is standalone, so even if you don't like an episode, you can try the next one without missing anything.

Oh i see. Maybe i give it a try again then.

Anthology right? Got it on my radar. Is it any good?

Yup. A biopic on Albert Einstein to be precise.

So far so good it's pretty engaging. Characters have depth, too. And the plot is non-linear—one minute we are in Zurich, 1900; next minute we are in Berlin, 1869.

I just wished it were a little less accurate. Some healthy dose of fiction and it'd be a dainty doppleganger of Da Vincis Demons.

Also, the physics terms used are too inside baseball, too complex for the average viewer. I think they should cut down on the physics terminologies. People like me wey no sabi Science no go enjoy the show if the physics talk too plenty.

Bros!!! Na wa oh try to understand what the bone of contention is. My message was personally directed to someone. Except you are also confused about your sexuality. You dont just quote and spew trash. You must be embarrassed about the list up there that took me less than 2 mins to come up with.





You are wrong about Breaking Bad though...


In the 408 episode of the Breaking Bad podcast, the show's creator Vince Gilligan was asked whether Max was Gus's lover. He said that "It's open to interpretation. It's whatever the audience wants it to be." Several of the people involved in the episode said that they thought of him as being in a romantic relationship with Max and Gilligan said "It's okay to infer that."
You are not serious.I said mention three major shows.I expected to see atleast "The walking dead" and "Stranger things".You are mentioning some of the crappiest tv shows ever created.Jessica Jones?Ironfist??Luke Cage?Insecure?the black women version of "girls?"
As for the character Gus,why didnt Vince just say he wasnt gay which he clearly was?He simply wanted the show to reach as many people as possible around the world without upsetting them(People such as yourself who have a sickening obsession with gays because they are also not comfortable with their sexuality

Disjointed storytelling! I'm sold. I'm rather partial to complex plots.
One more question... Is it more of a docuseries than an historical drama, i.e, more fact than fiction?

You need to recheck the definition of "Major" . So funny you already had premeditated answers (WAYO!!!). Sorry to upset you. The truth is that most shows now recognizes the need to involve the LGBT community (I have no issues with that, I am just after a good storyline)


mablie:

Fans: Is Gus Fringe gay or Not?
Vince: "It's open to interpretation. It's whatever the audience wants it to be."
Marvee (Audience 1): He is not Gay, he has a wife and Children
Mabile(Audience 2): He is gay

Hope you get the above clearly now?

Also check what "obsession" means Mr LGBT sympathizer. You just jumped into what u are ignorant about. Read a few pages back, u would probably get the angle i was coming from.

I meant complex/technical language, not plot. Someone with no background in physics could easily be overwhelmed when the characters start yapping some esoteric physics jargon --- and they do that a lot! Think of it as a million Sheldon Coopers (from The Big Bang Theory) discussing physics in highly technical language. grin

And yeah, it's more of a docudrama.

Thats good to hear.I wanted to ask you for your thoughts on some shows so I searched for you on this thread and the phone section for a few months and came up with nothing so i was a little bit concerned.
Anyway,since you are here now,what do you think about the mini-series "Big Little Lies"?I thoroughly enjoyed it

3 words; Ended too soon.

Too many unfinished business and unresolved issues. And the husband's perspective would have been nice as we were only shown the women's. The show has a lot more to offer the audience so a 2nd season would have been nice. embarassed

I wonder where you got that ideal from? I have always rated The Wire higher than Breaking Bad

This post is from February 2015:

koice:

Breaking Bad is better than the Sopranos or any other shows out there, You'd better believe It. the only show I can say that is a bit better is the wire. No show is better than the wire.

One thing about BB is once you don't like the first few episodes, you'll never like the rest. It's much like The Wire in that instance. BB is not overhyped my
friend, what may seem like an overblown reputation to most people is nothing but justified.

Side note: iOS is better than every other OS out there. Apple products destroy other competing products. It's not a snobbish hype, merely a simple fact.

I had to dig into the archives for this.

Also this...
koice:

Lolz. Fraternity ke? If we're taking a debate about the greatest TV show there ever is or will be seriously, there's only 2 contenders: it has to be either Breaking Bad or The Wire.

Here's why: For starters, it captured the TV zeitgeist unlike any other show has ever been capable of. I have never been as overwhelmingly addicted to a show as Breaking Bad. During its ridiculously riveting final two seasons, I remember physically shaking with excitement before I pressed play. I learnt that gigantic magnets really could destroy a laptop in a police lockup. I probably now far too much about how to set up a meth lab in a caravan. And if I owned a machine gun, you can bet I would have tried rigging it up into the boot of my car in case I ever had to take out a bunch of hoodlums in black masquerading as the Nigerian Police.

Secondly, over five seasons and 62 episodes, there wasn't one dud episode. For that we can thank Vince Gilligan, the ultimate perfectionist who must currently have network executives camping outside his house offering him barrels full of money.

Bottom line, Breaking Bad shouldn't be rated a mere 6 which is far too mediocre a rating for a TV show that never had an off moment. I never felt disappointed when the credits rolled. Like a serious meth addict, I just wanted to know when my next hit would come.

Note the emboldened.

Typical Supernatural. When they think they've defeated Lucifer, Mom gets dragged into alternate earth by Lucifer and the door slams shut.


Then comes season 13. They re-open the door to save Mom, Lucifer escapes.........again and the whole cycle restarts.


They need to end that show ffs!!

So this show is still running?? Na wao. Jensen Ackles and Sam Padalecki have practically wasted better part of their adult lives feeding to the fantasy of teens & young adults, collecting multiple Teen choice awards, whilst their mates were busy winning Oscars, Golden globes, Baftas and Emmys.

I think Jensen is edging towards 40 years now...

What's the matter with this people? Its fantasy for heavens sake!
They're doing things you expect in a show like that, that's why they still have an audience.
It's pure entertainment. Regardless of what you guys may think, some adults actually enjoy it. I know I do.
Yes, maybe they lost its touch a little in the last season, but it still entertaining.
There are other shows worse than this and they were still renewed for another season.

You are 100% right.Its a good show but still has some unresolved issues.Will Ed act on his impulses with his step-daughter who he is clearly attracted to?Will the marriage end if he finds out about Madelines' affair?Will Ziggy live in thesame house with his twin half step-brothers?
