Just found out about Frasier 2nd season.
I missed the first season.
The world is spinning super fast.
Not enough time.

I completed Episode 1 last night. So far, so good. Colin Farrell has been great as Penguin. I'll keep watching for now.

Nearing the end of Bad Monkey and noticed that the entire soundtrack is made up of Tom Petty cover songs. Unsurprising, as it is set in Florida.

Watching it as well. Noticed the TP covers in each episode - didn't know if they were from a tribute album.

Any thoughts on the upcoming Dexter: Original Sin? I really enjoyed Dexter, but they should have left it alone and not done the sequel.

We shall see.

Didn’t even know about. Just watched the trailer. Seems iffy but I’m sure we’ll watch it.

I didn't mind the sequel. Also didn't mind the way the original 8 seasons ended.
Definitely uncertain about a prequel with different cast. I do like the notion of Michael C Hall doing narration.

I actually read the book series, the show followed it pretty closely. The wife never watched it, so we are (re-)watching right now and at the end of S07.

One major difference in the books was that Dexter's Dark Passenger was an actual supernatural entity named "Moloch", though it was only in a single book and not particularly emphasized. Apparently, not a fan favorite concept.

I learned something new today. I had no idea Dexter was a book series, and I'm a big reader. I'll have to check it out.

I learned that last week! Been watching it on Netflix - didn't have Showtime when it was on originally. Up to Season 4.

So started watching Monsters- The Menendez Brothers. Great start, fast pace, solid actors, hell of story but then I see there's 9 fucking episodes..... 9!! Are you fucking kidding me.

I want to see that one but 3 or 4 episodes in a limited series seem like it would be sufficient.

I don't see the need for a Menendez limited series. I've seen it, heard it, and read about it many times over. Just doesn't seem necessary. Now we're recycling stuff.

That’s what they do - recycle both documentaries and fiction. Scott Peterson, OJ, Madoff, the guy who pushed his wife down the stairs, the lawyer in SC who shot his wife and kid, many movies and TV shows re-made, often to incorporate new social statements, etc.

The return of one of my favorite Horror Series...

Great show, i just hope it doesn't end up like Lost!

[tranquility]

Watching Ioan Gruffudd's Liar and Forever, not bad.

Started this but thought the acting was bad. Maybe I didn’t give it enough time.

Thoughts on the show Justified? Looking around and thought I would try it….from 2010-2015. Halfway through S1E1. Worth keeping up with it?

I thought it was a great show and recommend sticking with it. Pretty sure I read about it earlier in this thread.

Oh yeah. From my favorite author Elmore Leonard. Great cast. Great stories. Excellent soundtrack, including Dave Alvin. I watched it twice.

Elmore Leonard is considered by many to be one of the best writers of crime fiction that ever lived. This is true to his style and directly based on his writing.
