    Critically acclaimed shows of the last 20 years that you haven't watched

    Last time I checked what was probably a few years ago it was available on netflix instant, but couldn't make it past 15 minutes, it was really really bad and I liked the show a lot.

    Southland season 5

    Then yeah I guess that's it. Was hoping TNT would limp it along just to have a critically highly rated show in their line up, but if that's true it's done. One random thing that's been bugging me about this show, they had the episode with the dead baby and finally the mother tells the true...

    Southland season 5

    Damn, I like how they have managed to move every character into the moral grey area. Hopefully this isn't the last season cause I thought it was their best yet and they have plenty of fodder for a new season. Show has always had good acting but I thought Cuddlitz (sp?) did an amazing job, and...

    Vice-HBO

    Anyone watching this? I kill some time on their youtube channel and for now at least, the new episodes are available for free on HBO's homepage. They make some good documentary's overall especially the one's when Shane Smith is involved. With all the sabre rattling going on in North Korea...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    "Your analogy is bad, equivocation fallacy. There is a vast difference in education level between you, a mechanic and a physician. Peer review. It's there for a reason. You're not a peer in any professional medical sense" Actually I was responding as a medic/ff with a 4 yr diploma so you...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Dude, you don't need to be a doctor to judge the competency/incompetency of a doctor. Same as even if you don't know shit about cars you can still spot a bad mechanic as soon as they pop the hood. Edit to respond to my neg: I'm sure you could wreck my ass with your medical knowledge, but...

    Spartacus

    Great end to the series! I was wondering how they were going to handle everyone's eventual deaths and make it fit with the series overall theme that Gannicus and Spartacus are basically unstoppable and they handled it perfectly. While season 2 was definitely shaky, and season 1 was pure...

    Southland season 5

    Fuck that was a messed up episode, the fact that they aren't too afraid to kill off/write major charters out of the show does a good job of adding to tension. The one problem I have with the show is the endless number of foot chases, do cops in LA not carry tasers? When I worked as a FF we got...

    Spartacus

    Haha I thought the same thing about the bleachers and then just put it up to who the fuck cares. I love this show and as sad as I will be to see it go they seem to be setting it up for one hell of a finale.

    North Korea goes full retard

    Then why not practice with real applicable technology rather than 40 year old hardware? The last thing any country wants is a war with the money pit that would be the North. I refuse to believe as backwards as North Korea is that they have no clue what would happen if they started a war with a...

    North Korea goes full retard

    The bombers are there as part of the military exercises we do every once in awhile with the south, it's not like they are there in response to all the norths crying as of late. Planning/live strategy practice for a hostile nuclear armed north is not what I would call warmongering. The...

    The Americans

    Haven't seen homeland so can't compare them, but the show is definitely not dialogue heavy/slow moving. So far no episode has seemed like place holder/filler and there's a good amount of action built in. It's surprisingly light on politics as well given the shows subject matter. If your on...

    Spartacus

    I think a lot of it has to do with other characters sharing equal screen time so he in effect takes a step back, at the same time complete 180 from season two. I didn't like him at all and now he really does seem to own the role aside from the fight scenes. Maybe it's just fond memories of...

    The Walking Dead

    To anyone who has read the comics is Andrea the same as in the TV show? I know tv/the walking dead in particular sucks at writing female characters, but I don't think there is ever someone as badly written/unsympathetic that I just want to die and be out of the picture and would make the show...

    The Americans

    Yeah, this is fast becoming one of my favorite shows and I really can't even put my finger on why exactly but the action/story moves well from episode to episode without getting bogged down in filler so far. Doesn't hurt that Keri Russel has aged very very well though I'm sure. The fact that...
