Black Mirror

It's just a two-part mini series to set up the movie, not a whole season. Then again, the Luther seasons were only 4-6 episodes anyway, lol.

 

Right, exactly lol.

 

Yeah in the UK.

 

I don't think Elba is doing the US version although he is attached, he won't act in it.

 

I don't have much faith for US versions of these shows, they seem to work sometimes BECAUSE they are what they are.  Elba is the reason Luther rules, so without him, idk.

There are only 6 episodes? The one I watched last night was unimpressive, about a guy who died and his wife bought a doppelganger version of him.

 

Will never beat Torchwood or Primeval.

The first season was mind blowing.  The second was not as good IMO.  Still good but not like WOW good like the first season.  Start from the beginning.

Watched the first 2 shows (the Prime Minister one and the American Idol one). I think there's a reason they didn't do more.

 

Although "Howie Mandelbot" was funny.

Maybe it's not for everyone, but I really enjoyed them.  I loved the old Twilight Zone episodes and thought this was kind of a modern spin on that.  Really liked the slavery-esque second episode of the first season, but thought it was a little over the top.  Kind of felt like the movie "Idiocracy"

Watch "Darknet". Interwoven horror stories. If you've ever seen "11:14", you'll like it.

Since we're talking about awesome shows that went the way of Firefly, Longmire should be added to the list.

almost human was showing some promise, too.

I think the idea that you need 20-24 episodes for network programming is what kills shows these days. There is so much filler that is just thrown together. The shorter seasons from cable networks (Breaking Bad, Justified, etc) allow the writers to get the point quickly.

IIRC, Lost only had 3 seasons of material from an early Abram's interview, but ABC wanted 5. Then it goes 6.

Lost also happened during the writer's strike, and fuged stuff up.

For some reason, I liked that show.

 

 

Anybody watch The Killing?

Netflix is bringing back Longmire for another season.
