What Are You Watching/Binging/Streaming Now?

Now you know I love you for your excellent taste in older men, but...NO. lol.

 

She usually goes off the rails around Season 3. GREY'S and SCANDAL had great second seasons from what I remember. I would say that about HTGAWM as well. 

 

Maybe you meant Ryan Murphy?

lol.  Nah, Shonda is terrible after 1 season.  But I can't mistake her for Murphy, who can't resist going off the rails mid season 1.  

 

I don't even [!@#$%^&*] with Shonda any longer because I know I will be disappointed.  

[All My Shadows]

I was gonna say, Murphy cuts up after five episodes. Every time.

[ChitHappens]

 

You can set your watch to it. 

[Taoboi]

Hahahaha. You don't even give Murphy a full season. Daaaaaaaaaaarn.

 

But I still see see GH and SCANDAL Season 2 as great season...especially SCANDAL's season 2 given what He Who Shall Not Be Named is doing in office trying everything he can to steal the election.

 

We will have to agree to disagree.

I'm rewatching Dawson's Creek with a friend who's never watched it, and I forgot how much I missed Capeside.

And because it can never be said enough - Tamara Jacobs was dumb as hell.

[ChitHappens]

Brothers and Sisters.  I forgot how much I loved this show and I'm stunned that I still loathe Justin!  Usually, the 2nd time around, my feelings change.  Not on this!

 

Dreading the moment mediocre Van Camp shows up but there are just things in which I have zero control.  

 

Flockhart and Van Camp on the same show?  Who hates an audience this much?!  Thank goodness B&S had Fields, Rhys, Griffiths and Getty to balance it out.   

[Faulkner]

Lol I love it. Reminds me of Donna Summers.

[ChitHappens]

lol.

 

Field, damn it!  Field!

[Taoboi]

I've always wondered if that was a good show. I saw so much promotion of it but could never find the time to watch. So a good show then? 

[ChitHappens]

 

Oh yeah!  You just have to suspend disbelief and imagine 2 hot successful men chasing a grown woman with the body of a 12 year old zombie.  And of course, Van Camp plays Van Camp.  Zero range , but if you enjoy mediocre overrated blondes, she's your girl.  

[Faulkner]

For me, B&S never knew if it wanted to be a Zwick/Herskovitz family drama or a political show or a quirky dramedy (like its Desperate Housewives lead-in) or a balls-to-the-wall dishy soap (ditto), sometimes within the same episode, and it did all of those things poorly. The writing never lived up to the *incredible* caliber of that cast. Feels like a huge waste.

 

You know, I actually liked EVC on the early episodes of Revenge. Another waste. Should have been a limited series, but that was before those were fashionable.

Brothers and Sisters was SO good, especially the first few seasons.  I remember reading about some behind the scenes drama with maybe the lead EP or creator - anyway, you could tell something happened and the latter few seasons were not nearly as good.  Similar to Revenge, for me... the first 2-3 seasons were so good, and then something just happened and it got stale.

[ChitHappens]

Revenge was a convoluted mess that should have been a mini series.  Each week, whatsherface had a new person she needed to get revenge on.  Then when it's time to bring everything to a head, they add another person.  Of course, there's EVC to bore the [!@#$%^&*] out of everyone

I also felt like B&S pulled their punches with Kitty, never really going there with her as a conservative. They wanted her to be a sweeter, less self-absorbed Ally McBeal. I loathed Calista and Rob Lowe together. That was definitely a show I hate-watched to the end.
