All Things:Fx

Priority: watch the first two seasons of American Horror Story. Pretty sad since I already have them.

Thankfully, they're all stand alone, so you can still watch the new season. :)

He's right you know. And Lags...Asylum is one of the better seasons of television in recent memory. The first season has it's moments and is worth watching, but yeah, I am actually going to buy Asylum.
 
I wasn't a fan of Asylum. It was all over the place. One of things that bothered me was the Satan possession. If there was Satan, then there's God. Why bring in aliens? I don't buy their explanation that the aliens were angels. Maybe it's the Catholic in me, but it made no sense. They did nothing with that storyline. Same goes for the nazi doctor & his experiments storyline.

It was as if they couldn't decide which way to go, so they ended the alien, Nazi & demon stories abruptly & focussed more on the bloody face storyline.

If there are vampires in Coven, I'm out. Please no vampires!

see, for me the wtf/kitchen sink nature of the show, while laced with an underlying storyline to tether it, was what made Asylum one of the best single season shows on tv in a long while. But to each his own, and I completely understand it was not for everyone. I think Coven is going to be a lot more fun(and maybe a little less dark/violent) but we shall see starting this Wednesday.
 
OK. I'll try posting this here instead of starting a new thread. I watched most of the first season of AHS and loved it at first but for whatever started to lose a little interest as the season got close to the end. Our DVR took a huge dump and all of my recorded shows were no longer, including LOST....that's right. Anyways. My neighbor was telling me about the second season and how gruesome it had become forcing her to stop watching it. I have a hankering to jump on the third season but wanted to know if I will need to have watched the first two to really "get it" or do you think that I can come in cold.

Each season is stand alone, so you can jump right on in.
 


One of the best things during Sons the other night were the Teasers for Archer/Justified/Americans.

And The Bridge...thank you! Way to not only get back to the vibe you had pre-Supervillain, but to set up the story points for next season and show a hell of a nice little teaser of your own at the end of the finale' episode. I am REALLY liking Demian Bechir after being indifferent to him for the most part in the past.
 
FARGO TV Series Adds Bob Odenkirk, Oliver Platt, Kate Walsh, and Glenn Howerton | Collider

More on board. Starting to shape up nice castwise at the very least.

and here's a little more info on the shape of things

FX’s Fargo will feature an all-new “true crime” story, following a new case and new characters, all entrenched in the trademark humor, murder and “Minnesota nice” that has made the film an enduring classic. As previously announced, Oscar? winner Billy Bob Thornton stars as “Lorne Malvo,” a rootless, manipulative man who meets and forever changes the life of small town insurance salesman “Lester Nygaard,” played by BAFTA Award? winner and Emmy?-nominated Martin Freeman. Colin Hanks plays Duluth Police Deputy Gus Grimly, a single dad who must choose between his own personal safety when he comes face-to-face with a killer.

Rounding out Fargo’s colorful cast of recurring characters will be Emmy winner Bob Odenkirk (Breaking Bad), as “Deputy Bill Olson,” a Bemidji deputy with seniority over his younger, smarter and more ambitious fellow deputy, “Molly Solverson,” played by Allison Tolman (Sordid Lives), who will be a series regular. Golden Globe™ and Emmy-nominated Oliver Platt (The Big C, and the upcoming features Lucky Them, Chef and Kill the Messenger), will play “Stavros Milos,” the Supermarket King of Minnesota. Screen Actors Guild Award? winner Kate Walsh (Private Practice) will star as “Gina Hess,” a former stripper and mother of teenaged twin boys. Glenn Howerton, star of FXX’s It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, will play “Don Chumph,” an ambitious personal trainer. Joey King (The Conjuring, Oz: The Great and Powerful) will play Gus’s daughter, “Greta Grimly” and Peter Breitmayer (The Middle, A Serious Man) will play “Lieutenant Schmidt,” Gus’s superior officer. Tom Musgrave (Beethoven’s 5th) will portray “Bo Munk,” Lester’s boss at the Bo Munk Insurance Shop, and Josh Close (The Master) will play “Ron Nygaard,” Lester’s younger and more successful brother. Russell Harvard (There Will Be Blood) and Adam Goldberg (The Unusuals) will play members of the Fargo Crime Syndicate, “Mr. Wrench” and “Mr. Numbers,” respectively – Mr. Wrench is the muscle. Mr. Numbers is the mouth.

A 10-episode limited series, Fargo is written by Noah Hawley. Emmy Award-winning director Adam Bernstein (30 Rock) will direct the premiere hour. Executive Producers are Hawley, Warren Littlefield, Joel & Ethan Coen, and Geyer Kosinski. Fargo is produced by FX Productions and MGM Television.

Slumdog Millionaire and 127 Hours team reuniting for FX series Telemark

The Oscar-winning director-writer-producer team of Danny Boyle, Simon Beaufoy and Christian Colson are reuniting for a 10-part FX miniseries called "Telemark."

The trio -- who collaborated on "Slumdog Millionaire" and "127 Hours" -- will join forces for their first project for American TV.

Written by Beaufoy, "Telemark" will recount the story of the Norwegian resistance to the Nazi occupation during WWII. The British-trained warriors helped sabotage Hitler's nuclear development.

"We’re incredibly honored to be working with Danny Boyle, Simon Beaufoy and Christian Colson who are three of the best filmmakers in the world," said FX exec Eric Schrier in a release. "'Telemark' is a compelling, powerful and important story, and we know Danny, Simon and Christian will do a masterful job producing it.”

Cloud Eight/Decibel Films will co-produce the miniseries for FX, but no release date has yet been set.

"As we all know, some of the very best narrative fiction ever told is currently being created as episodic television," said Beaufoy. "This incredible story is ideally suited to the slower burn and added complexity that the longer format allows and I cant' wait to get my teeth into this."

Boyle added, "This is one of the world's greatest stories and we want to tell it on an epic scale."
