Orange is The New Black season 5 is out. Just watched the first 3 episodes and I have to wonder if they changed writers? It's very slow moving and not as good as before. Anyone else with some input?

Episode 7 and 8 were awful.

I'm watching it too. It does get better but overall the writing isn't as good. I'm not through the whole season yet, but I'm interested enough to finish it. I wasn't sure I would after the first few episodes.

That show was set up for a nice two season run. Stopped halfway through season 2. Lost interest

@Adam you still have that opening in accounts receivable?

yep...saw the announcement for Season 5 recently....realized we hadn't bothered to watch the rest of Season 2 yet. Wasn't she given a one year sentence originally?

Watched the first new episode of Poldark last night. So much happened I might need to watch it again.

Best "Guilty Pleasure" since Downton Abbey.

I believe so.

 

Once I realized they were going to set it up to go indefinitely I quit. I didn't think it was great anyway. The first season couldn't decide if it was a drama or a comedy and the acting was pretty awful.

Yep, and she mentioned in a recent episode that she "only has a couple of months left"

The "Big Lebowski" bowling alley scene had me shaking my head wondering WTF?

I will have to see the Big Lebowski again.

As I was channel surfing the other night I saw PBS had a special on "The Weddings of Downtown Abbey"...how was it Adam?

f*ck. that was awesome.

man episode 7 and 8 have been fantastic!

the season started a bit slow but holy sh*t they are in a groove now. so many layers and deeply intertwined.

the bowling alley scene was just flawless. curious how it plays out, with that kind of godlike/story teller character. that is the same dude the chick cop met back in california (on the plane, and at the bar). 

and this season has tons of little coen brothers references. i love it. this is what television is all about.

Raining in Gainesville...turn on MLB tv early thinking might be some pre-draft coverage

 

in 5 minutes Kevin Millar has talked about serving dirty cake to his kids, asked for a inflatable doughnut to sit on and threatened to drop his pants to show his bruised ass.

 

holy shit someone should turn off his microphone (and punch him in the nuts for good measure)

Finally got around to binging Bosch Season 3. Excellent as always.

Wonder Woman

Felt like a half hour could've been edited out pretty easily.

It was nice to have characters that seemed almost sentient rather than cardboard cutouts like with Man of Steel and Batman v Superman.

Last 20 minutes were worth the price of admission.

4 episodes into Deadwood, and they killed Wild Bill already???

Fargo coming down to final episode. Started a bit slow but man it hit a fantastic groove about half way through.

I just finished the series.  I was curious about that also, and historically, looks like he did die in Deadwood.  There is an even briefer historical cameo in season 3.

The last episode tied it a little more..

Spoiler

My guess is that old broad who was looking to buy the company had something to do with all of this.. 

But why was the episode only 35 mins long???

I feel cheated!

"Turn" season 3 is out on Netflix. The plot keeps twisting and people are getting exposed. Interesting show.

Started watching it, and binged the first two seasons.  Pretty good cop/murder show.
