Finished The Strain S3 last week and was a little underwhelmed with it. The kid is annoying.
Also finished 12 Monkeys S2 and thought it was ok. The time travel thing was getting repetitive but it was marginally better than The Strain.

Nightflyers on SYFY is worth a watch. Science fiction horror based on a George R.R. Martin novella.

Luther….oh yes

looks as though UK terrestrial TV has some great offerings this year. It's great to see that streaming and on-demand services don't necessarily have all the best shows

Season 3 of True Detective started on Sunday with a double episode premiere. Very pleased with the season so far, much more like season 1 than season 2.

Good to know. I just read an article that said critics gave it a favorable review, but that ratings were lower than season 2. Fwiw, I actually liked season 2 but am looking forward to season 3

Saw the first episode last night and it is very promising. Lower key and currently less weird than s.1 was after the first episode. More grim realism.
I love s.1 and I’ve seen it three times. but it wasn’t as amazing as a lot of people made out. The ending was underwritten and poorly conceived. Likewise, S.2 wasn’t as bad as everyone made out and the ending was heart wrenching.

Season 1 will be a near impossible act to follow. McConaughey and Harrelson were unreal. McConaughey won an Oscar that year and harrelso n couldnt have played that part better. That season haunts me.
“Wheeen the last light warms the rocks and rattlesnakes unfooooold.” Damn son!
But I am looking forward to this season

I detested Season 2 but loved Season 1.
A bit of a turn-off that Nic Pizzolatto famously plagiarized Thomas Ligotti (whose writing is an absolute ray of sunshine!). Would it have killed him to give Ligotti some credit? I don't get that, did he think he would get away with that?
I'll start Season 3 despite my misgivings, and am hopeful that the show gets back on track, minus the plagiarism.

He plagiarized in season 1? If that’s the case I want the person to get credit for
Their writing…. but season 1 is amazing regardless of who weots what -

The misanthropy of Rustin Cohle is where True Plagiarism occurred. The work "borrowed" from, Conspiracy Agaisnt the Human Race, is almost unreadably misanthropic and dire. You might feel like Marty enduring one of Rustin's melancholic rants reading the damn thing.

That’s funny. One of my favorite moments form that show is when Marty is impatiently waiting in the car for Rustin and he says “ who walks that fuckin slow?”

Read this today which shed a little light on TD S02. It's a post from a year ago, but Nic Pizzolatto apparently confirmed today on Twitter.
