[TV] Talk about the last TV you watched, the catchall thread

Ahh, I see the problem. You seem to think this is a sci-fi story. No, no, see, it's an opposite partners police procedural. In fact, you can have the exact same story lines just by setting it 50 years ago and having the android be black instead. Or set it today and just have it take place in Mississippi.
Yup, and that's incredibly dull and a complete waste of the setting.
Batman: The Brave and the Bold This show has a LOOOOOOOOT more death in it that I anticipated. I mean damn, this show advertised itself as a more light-hearted incarnation yet it drops the dark outcome card easily. Damn good show.
Trust me, the one hour premier was hilarious. ALSO-
* I thought they were the same actor, still cool though.

It was funny at points, but was I the only one who felt a lot of the actors were just phoning it in at this point?
I will say that Abed's complete breakdown trying to figure out Nicholas Cage was magical. As well as Jeff being completely straight-faced and dead inside while the Dean did stuff to him. I can't imagine how many takes either of those scenes took.

Maybe a little from Allyson during the first half, but all around I felt it was all around solid. And yeah Abed getting Cage madness was awesome.
I felt weird typing Cage madness, reminded me of that Evolution movie. Course Cage Fever would've sounded just as weird.

So I caught all 5 episodes of Almost Human on Hulu and...I actually quite like it. The last episode wasn't great but it wasn't bad either. I enjoy some of the moral/philosophical implications that they skirt, but don't dwell on in the show. And while Karl Urban is clearly pretty good at his job, the android partner is my favorite in the show.
Not me. I didn't hate season 4, but I forgot Community could be this funny. Certain moments of season 4 were hysterical because of the actors' delivery and not the lines themselves, but here everything was back to form. I didn't see any failings on the actors' parts.
I was surprised to see Chevy Chase make a cameo. After what happened between him and Dan Harmon, and then what happened with him without Dan Harmon, I thought he'd be out entirely.
Great scene referencing that, when Troy says "Does anyone else feel bad about doing this without ..." *head tilts towards Pierce's chair* "... Magnitude?" I loved both episodes. We didn't buy season 4 of the show, but we'll definitely be getting season 5 later if they keep this up. Gonna be really sad to see Donald Glover go.[/quote]
Didn't even catch that. Nice.
While I felt season 4 had its moments, I'm perfectly okay calling it "The gas-leak year."

My favorite moment from season 4 was during the Thanksgiving episode when Annie, Troy, and Abed are about to poison themselves to escape Shirley's house when Shirley catches them and asks what they were doing.
"We were ..."
"... about to ..."
"Eat garbage dip!"
The joyous way Donald Glover delivers that line had my wife and I hysterically laughing. They've done that gag before, but the delivery was priceless. The show-runners weren't Dan Harmon, but the cast still gave it their A-game. They wrote a terrible speech for Jeff in the season 4 finale, but Joel McHale sold it with every scrap of confidence and charm he could muster.

Sold!
Getting near the end of Parks & Rec season 5.
After such a forward momentum season like 4, I'd think having a calmer season would feel like a drag, but nope--this show is still beautiful.

the third ep of Community was really fun.

Loved the bit with Abed as the "gifted" detective.

Alpha House?
I've never heard of it either.
Amazon is obviously doing a poor job of marketing it. I watched the first episode after seeing this thread. Something felt familiar about the vibe through the whole episode. I finally figured it out when I saw during the credits that it was created by Doonesbury creator Gary Trudeau. It seems good, but not worth signing for Amazon Prime for.
it's worth it for me. It's fucking hilarious, and is from the same DNA as veep and in the loop, which i adore.
Agreed, I go on Amazon almost every day and saw no advertisements for said show.
