Second season of Orange is the New Black launched today.

 

Anyone else into this?

 

I have to admit to being a bit of a TV/movie-phile.  I generally buy Blu-Rays when there's a movie I want to see rather than just watching it on PPV or In-demand (I like to collect).

 

Premium TV has really been leading a creative resurgence in recent years, probably dating back to The Sopranos.  Its nice that Netflix has become a legitimate competitor for HBO (which puts out some really great shows like Sopranos, Deadwood, Boardwalk Empire, True Blood etc).

 

House of Cards was tremendous.

 

While cable channels like AMC are getting in on the act, I annoys me a bit.  The Walking Dead would be so much better on Netflix or HBO where they could truly appeal to adults (HBO passed on The Walking Dead when Thomas Jane was attached).

 

As for Orange, it took me a few episodes to get into last season but Im looking forward to banging out a few episodes tonight.

 

As an aside, for you Trekies, it was recently the 20th anniversary of the finale of TNG, one of the best Series' Finales in TV history.

    Fallout on Amazon was great. The props, sets, costumes and effects were incredibly detailed and almost totally faithful to the aesthetic of the video games that inspired the show. The gore is intentionally silly without spoiling the action, the doe eyed 'Ned Flanders in the Apocalypse' protagonist bit never wears thin, plenty of comedic actors like Johnny Pemberton, Michael Rapaport, Chris Parnell and others filling out the side-cast and keeping the wasteland fun and wacky like it's meant to be. Between this and The Righteous Gemstones I'm becoming a Walton Goggins fan

    Goggins was great in Vice Principals too.

    Goggins is also great but I also think people just like the name Walton Goggins.

    It does have a ring to it doesn't it.

    I still have to watch the newest season of Gemstones, but my goodness Goggins is incredible as Baby Billy. When his baby mama tracks him down at that mall he's preaching at and he tries to drive away without them seeing him.... few times I have laughed harder than that scene.

    Show like this is cheap.

    It probably wasn't 20 years ago

    Groggins was great as Boyd Crowder on Justified.

    I'm sure she's as sick of all the ******* forced exposition as everyone else.... Every time I see poor Dean Norris in Organized Crime I'm like "this poor bastard was in Breaking Bad and now it's down to this....?"

    I realize its used for the viewers to understand whats happening but I hated her role in the show. Does she really need to tell the detectives what to do next?

    If I was one of them I would say thanks but I know how to do my f'n job.

    It's so frustrating how they play to the lowest common denominator. Always beating you over the head instead of letting you figure it out for yourself. I get that's what network TV is but it's increasingly difficult with the advent of quality prestige streaming.
