Bro, please what's your view on Ray Donovan Is it a great show or i shouldn't waste my time?

Well, personally I think it's a lukewarm show atm. It doesn't blow hot, neither does it blow cold, just bland. It's sad cuz it used to be pretty meta.

Seasons 1 was good and freshed out, season 2 somehow improved on season 1, season 3 took a sudden dip, season 4 was straight up bad, season 5 was an epic fail.


But hey, I guess I'm a sucker cuz I still tune in every year and binge on it anyway. I watch it for the same reasons I stick to shows I have nearly given up on: loyalty & curiosity, but mainly the later - the Donovans are an "interesting" family, to say the least.

Bottom line, If you're not someone banged up (bothered) on ridiculous plotlines, sure why not, it's a good enough show.

Bloody Friday. They've cancelled almost all my shows. Damn!!!

Yeah its that time of the year and honestly, most of them deserved it.
It's not just enough to be a good show but you need the right network and appropriate promotion.
like wth was CW doing with a show like valor.

As for fans of Brooklyn nine nine, hopes of rescuing the show might have tanked cause both Hulu and Netflix just passed on it and hopes of TBS also coming to the rescue is a long long shot.
This might actually be the end for B99.

Personally, shows like Quantico,designated survivor etc..ought to have been canceled along time. They keep going in circles..

Marvel1206:


Like seriously

The movie didn't Disappoint. Though I had doubts on odessay, her character developed rapidly.

Cancelled.... It was just a matter of time the way it was going...

if they try it I will stop watching.
Those 2 lunatics are the reason I enjoy the series

Yes, they are lunatics especially Riggs.
I read the news online though. You can browse lethal weapon news also.

Well, I started watching TV series from the time I was old enough to comprehend what's going on. I remember Secret Of The Sands being my favorite back when I was 7  years old. A story about two twin sisters, a dashing young rancher and a mentally challenged man. You should look it up, it's pretty good. One of my oldest memories.

Passion, Full House and Friends were also pretty huge back then, and later, Buffy, Dark Angel, Egola: Place of Gold, and eventually, Oz which forever changed my perception in tv shows. Naturally, I started seeking shows just as meaningful and hardcore. Prison Break, The Shield, Six Feet Under, The X-files, Masters Of Horror, The Sopranos, Lost, Sons Of Anarchy, Heroes, The Wire, 4400, 24, etc were worthy thrills.

I was also a big fan of fantasy and the supernatural (remnants of my Buffy days I guess), thus I took an instant liking to Supernatural, which incidentally made me take an interest in it's producers, the WB (now the CW), and I got exposed to teen and young adult dramas like One Tree Hill, Gossip Girl, Vampire Diaries, Gilmore Girls, Hart of Dixie, Melrose Place and Nikita.

Eventually, I took a dislike to teen dramas, and by extension the CW, and by extension, all their shows as I moved on. The cable channel, Syfy was and still is a worthy replacement. And for good reasons too, because that's where I became exposed to sci-fi classics like Firefly, Battlestar Galactica, Stargate Atlantis, Stargate Universe, Caprica and Santuary.

Then, I became more selective of tv shows. Invariably, I found myself more and more likely to watch HBO, FX, AMC, Showtime and lately, Netflix shows, much more than the NBC, FOX, ABC and CBS shows, because of the quality content more prevalent on the former. The shorter seasons also play a big part as I would rather watch quality than quantity.

Seems to me you've been away from the tv series scenes for awhile. My advice, stick to shows similar to the ones that you mentioned and work up your way to the ones that are more complex. Don't jump right in to shows like Breaking Bad & The Leftovers cuz you'll go running for the hills back to your movies (yeah, I know you're a movie guy).

Hmm...

abeg! Where on earth can someone get secrets of the sands to download? Was a huge fan of it back then as a kid. And leftovers was sick. It beats me how people talk sh!t about it.

Why on earth would Designated Survivor be cancelled? The series is actually nice. I feel so sad right now.

I never really liked designated survivor from the start. the premise of the whole series showed it wasn't going to last long and the whole storyline and acting has been sub par in my opinion.

Nova15:
I just saw the first 2 episodes of Cobra Kai. I must say it's very promising.

Yea it is Man...dope series...Tasted and trusted.

Olamyyde:
Legion is just too good. I seriously pity the people who don't understand this masterpiece.

No one can comprehend the power of David!

i stopped watching legion when it got to s2e2.Dnt even knw y.

the first season was lit, the second was about much politics with less action

My brother! That Brazilian telenovela was the real deal back then. My Mum was a huge fan and I remember always watching it with her every week on the local channel. How can I ever forget the drama surrounding Ruth and her evil twin, Raquel, and of course Marcus!

Anyhoo, the whole thing is on Dailymotion. It's in brazilian portuguese tho. Oh, and it's portuguese name is Mulheres de Areia.

The Leftovers is fantastic. But I do understand why some people might not take it to. Just recently, I recommend a show very much like it in overall bleakness, but some people came here to insult the show and I for being crap. I laughed at their ignorance because the soul of the show obviously went over their heads - they simply couldn't understand it, because of the complexities involved. The Leftovers has similar effect on people, and only folks that like complex shows with non-linear mode of storytelling will get it. It's very niched.

Hate to sound like a prophet, but I did predict the demise of this show when it premiered. It's a show tailor made for ratings. You get the feeling from the start that if/when people stopped watching, the show's gonna crash and burn... and, people stopped watching, the ratings tanked, and naturally, the inevitable happened - it got axed.

What even got me annoyed and stopped was the way the whole of one episode will be bland only for them to come up with an "epic" scene to cap off the episode.

You rush to check the next episode and you realise the last scene in the previous episode was just a gimmick to make you check the next.

The straw that broke the camel's back for me was when the presidents wife got killed, I checked the next episode expecting to be treated to some badass manhunt for the killer only to realise it was simply a driving error. That was just it for me, couldn't go beyond that.

Lazy writing 101. The story follows the same pattern that has been stamped out countles times. The dialogue advances the primary plot, and watching eventually becomes tiring and unnecessary as you'll know exactly how it will end as soon as you see a pattern.

It's mind boggling how Quantico survived this long tbh. This show proved to me that the concept behind lazy writing isn't a myth - low effort, high reward.

too make it worse they fucking talk too much in that series

Exactly! That's part of how lazy writing works. The dialogue services only the plot and never the character.
