Kyyle23 Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Feb 17, 2014 -> 01:21 PM) Does a character need to have a breakdown and cry in every single episode of TWD? The formula is getting really boring. Yesterday's episode really frustrated me. I understand what you are saying, but in the timeline of the show, that episode happened mere hours after those people lost everything. I cut the show slack for things like that. The drama is a little over forced sometimes though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9347 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I'm over TWD. Same s*** over and over. There's nothing exciting about slow ass zombies being bludgeoned in the head anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was blaming it on True Detective being so good, but I'm starting to lean towards TWD being boring and dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenksismyhero Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Of all times to quit, you're quitting when it's at its best. Which still isn't great mind you, but it's SO much better than the farm nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I can't believe I didn't watch House of Cards until 3 days ago. It's been on my watchlist for a while and now I can't stop watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's alright but nothing has really grabbed me yet. Maybe I just don't care about political thrillers? I'll probably at least watch through the first season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably at least watch through the first season For me, it isn't about the politics. It's about how diablolical the main characters are. Francis Underwood almost makes Walter White look innocent. Edited February 20, 2014 by chw42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched 8 episodes this week already and plan on killing season one tonight and maybe tomorrow. The plot is awesome and I can already see some foreshadowing that will get exciting later on.

Kevin Spacey and his group went around and proposed it to networks, HBO, Showtime, etc, and were declined. Then they went to Netflix and Hulu and Netflix wrote them a blank check for two seasons. He told that story on The Daily Show this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats crazy to me, especially with him as the star and the EP. Netflix has scored on a few of these lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 Yea, very odd that HBO would pass on it, although maybe they figured they had their political shows filled up with VEEP and Newsroom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigHurt3515 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Started True Detective three nights ago and just caught up. It is a really good show. Wish it was more then a short 8 episode series.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Netflix has incentive to release episodes every week as opposed to all at once. It keeps viewers interested and it keeps viewers subscribed longer. For all I know, a lot of people probably just get the one month trial and never subscribe afterwards. I do love binge viewing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine it'd be hard for a major network to carry a show that's this dark and air it every week at 8 PM. They get to be a lot more explicit on Netflix and that's probably a good thing.

The only other networks I'd want airing this would be Showtime or HBO, but I greatly prefer Netflix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
