All Things: TELEVISON

First two episodes of Hannibal have been great. Especially loved the dinner scene in Ep1. "Is it going to be that kind of party?". So good.

So apparently my On Demand that I used to watch True Detective has the full run of pretty much every HBO show from the last 20 years, plus Cinemax and Showtime even though I don't subscribe to them. So the question is, what do I watch?

From various people's yappings, I think I am most interested in Band Of Brothers, Boardwalk Empire, Deadwood, The Pacific, The Sopranos, Banshee, House Of Lies, and Penny Dreadful. There are also a few shows on Starz, but they only have the second season of Black Sails. Yes, I never saw the Sopranos, but I am leaning away from it because it has 100 episodes or something. Feel free to go off the board, but no shows where nothing happens and especially no shows about quartets of annoying NYC ladies led by a ghastly uggo.

I also can alternate my drama back and forth with Curb, Eastbound, or Entourage.

Based on the ones I've watched, I'd recommend Boardwalk Empire and Penny Dreadful are two of my favorites. If you can find Season 1 of Black Sails, definitely watch that as well. Season 2 of Black Sails is one of my favorite things I've ever watched. And if you have access to Spartacus on Starz, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD...WATCH SPARTACUS!!! <3 <3 <3

Neil Gaiman's "American Gods" Greenlit By Starz

How could you leave this out Adgy...

According to the cable channel, the start of production will be contingent on the casting of protagonist Shadow Moon. Bryan Fuller (“Hannibal”) and Michael Green (“The River,” “Heroes”) will write the series and serve as showrunners. Gaiman is on board as executive producer of the project, which hails from FreeMantle North America.

That's pretty exciting in and of itself.
Whilst I don't share your exuberance SO FAR for season 3, Fuller being involved lends a whole 'nother level of potential to the thing.

I think whenever I last mentioned American Gods here, the bit I quoted mentioned Fuller was running it. :)

I checked and apparently Starz does not want me to watch their programming, because they only have the third season of Spartacus. I'm still confused about getting shows for networks I don't subscribe to, but oh well. I have multiple votes for Penny Dreadful, so I think I'll try that first, even if I would prefer something with an ending so I can see it all.
 
Anyone else watch A Deadly Adoption tonight? Still trying to figure this one out.
 
If anyone was disappointed that Mob Doctor was cancelled check out USA's Complications. This doctor tries to do a good thing and help a child who is shot at a park by gangs and now his life is changed and not in a good way. 3 episodes out so far.
 
Anyone catch Battle Bots on ABC last night? That s*** is good fun! Glad to see they brought back some of the old bots and engineers from 15 years ago.

Looking forward to more!
 
NBC Cancels HANNIBAL; Could It Live On Elsewhere?

However ?

Since NBC doesn?t produce Hannibal, Gaumont will likely shop it around to another distributor, since the show garners so much critical acclaim (and on another platform ? especially one where Fuller is able to completely execute his vision for the series outside of what is possible on broadcast ? the show might become something even more intensely beautiful and frightening). There have been rumors of other suitors for Hannibal for awhile now, so though NBC is passing on the series, the show is probably not over for good. Fuller has said he has a 7 season plan for the series, so let?s hope someone else picks it up so we are able to see it through to its fruition. This is my design.

And yet again ...

So I watched the show from the beginning and while it had a decent start it immediately jumped the shark. Talk about stretching to find an audience to help NBC ... this show doesn't need a reboot ... now if you want to talk "Blindspot" I would be interested. Talk about a new and interesting concept ... something Hollywood has seemed to forget how to do ...
