The episode where he plays on the shitty high school soccer team is GOAT.Commander of Awesome;1573678 wrote:Wonder Years. Recently rediscovered this.
And Kevin isn't half as temperamental as Paul. He was on his period most of the time.

Should I get HBO or Showtime? With HBO, I can watch them on the HBOGO app. Showtime have an app?

HBO occasionally has decent movies...a lot of times old ones you've probably seen multiple times, newer releases (which are always WAAAYYYYYY behind Netflix, OnDemand, etc) are ok but far from the best movies.
I think we had this discussion before...if you are the patient type you just get HBO for 1 month each year and binge watch the series you want (which would actually be pretty satisfying). Of course, I keep getting free HBO with my cable promos. I should probably get Showtime for a month or two and binge watch their best series.

I think I'm going to start An Idiot Abroad on Netflix. Had several people tell me how funny it is. Anyone else watch it?

Started watching Banshee. Pretty good show.
Btw - was there a new episode of True Detective this week or not?

After the Super Bowl, got caught up on Banshee at my friends, since I was 2 episodes behind.
I learned more about impromptu forced dental work than I ever thought possible.

We're on season 4 (I believe) of Dexter, and John Lithgow is building a coffin. Starting to get interesting. This season was starting to drag on.

Recently binge watched the first two seasons of Game of Thrones and binge read the five books of A Song of Ice and Fire.

If any of you have seen Treme on HBO, I'd be curious as to your opinions. The reviews look good, bu I've never talked to anyone who's seen it.

The reading part definitely would be a binge. I'm partway through them and have to say the reading there is a bit slower than in a lot of books just because of how dense they are. Particularly in the true-to-life aspect of how if a person was great or powerful (or perceived to be so), virtually everyone would name a kid after them, so you have tons of characters with the same name, so a lot of times I'll have to stop and look up online to see which (for example) Walder is being talked about.bigorangebuck22;1577821 wrote:Recently binge watched the first two seasons of Game of Thrones and binge read the five books of A Song of Ice and Fire.

I started the first season when it came out. I think I got about 4 episodes in before I lost interest. Not saying it's not good, it just lost my interest quick. I may give it another shot someday.Dr Winston O'Boogie;1577857 wrote:If any of you have seen Treme on HBO, I'd be curious as to your opinions.

The books are good, but GRRM just goes way too much into detail. He'll take 20 pages just to describe the settings at a dinner table.Heretic;1577871 wrote:The reading part definitely would be a binge.

Thanks. I read some good reviews, but the subject doesn't seem interesting on the surface.TedSheckler;1577903 wrote:I started the first season when it came out.

I only gave it shot because it was created by the same guy the created The Wire. It's no The Wire.Dr Winston O'Boogie;1578215 wrote:Thanks. I read some good reviews, but the subject doesn't seem interesting on the surface.

Did the same thing. Watched a few episodes from the beginning, then stopped. Watched an episode towards the end of the season and just gave up on it. I didn't like any of the storylines and the flow of the show seemed to be boring/slow. That worked in The Wire, but not in treme, at least for me.TedSheckler;1577903 wrote:I started the first season when it came out. I think I got about 4 episodes in before I lost interest.

I heard this precious season was really good so maybe the plot was better in this season.

Finished season 4 of Dexter, and now into season 5. Real disappointed with them killing off Rita. Kinda made me want to stop watching the show. Does it get better?
