Brian Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 QUOTE (farmteam @ Jan 31, 2016 -> 10:53 PM) It doesn't know what type of show it wants to be yet. The extended dog s*** scene early on was unnecessary to prove Rhoads' brand of righteousness, if that's what it was going for. And there's too many sorta peripheral characters too soon. Sometimes feels like it's try too hard, also. The "ass to mouth" scene comes to mind. I like it so far, but it needs to tighten up. I have last nights on DVR and I am just not up for watching it. I'll put it one when I'm cleaning or something and see if I hear anything interesting. I just want a faster pace like Shameless. Seems like it is a topic that Showtime could have gone out of the box with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shameless just has too many dumb story lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad it's being made now. Made for tv movies and tv series in the 90s weren't exactly subtle (though, not saying Ryan Murphy is subtle).

southsider2k5 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Anyone else out there watch Vice on HBO? I caught the last one ISIS, and have been going back watching some of the older episodes on demand. It is like a less depressing version of Frontline on PBS.

I caught the last one ISIS, and have been going back watching some of the older episodes on demand. It is like a less depressing version of Frontline on PBS. It's produced by Bill Maher. I don't watch it regularly. The episode they did on Killing Cancer went Viral. Also remember the one they did on Japan's Suicide Forest: "The Aokigahara Forest is the most popular site for suicides in Japan. After the novel Kuroi Jukai was published, in which a young lover commits suicide in the forest, people started taking their own lives there at a rate of 50 to 100 deaths a year. The site holds so many bodies that the Yakuza pays homeless people to sneak into the forest and rob the corpses. The authorities sweep for bodies only on an annual basis, as the forest sits at the base of Mt. Fuji and is too dense to patrol more frequently."

Think it was summer before my sophomore year. I only remember the bullet points and not the little things. Thought first ep did a good job with tension. Thought it was going to be cheesy but it was more gritty. I almost wish it was on Netflix so I could binge watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
