New TV Series to watch

[theSTEREO.]

They just released the first trailer for the Arrow/Flash spin off, "Legends of Tomorrow." It looks absolutely incredible. Just amazing that it is going to be a weekly TV series. Anyways, I am going to hold off on specific comments so as not to spoiler it, enjoy.

The idea looks great.

If the dialogue is gonna be that cheesy and on the nose, it's gonna be a chore to watch.

Well it's on the CW so you can expect that. Still The Flash and Arrow have been very good so I am confident this will be good as well.

Very pleasantly surprised by the Mad Men finale. I was expecting them to take the easy way out by having Don go back and end up with Betty or even have Don kill himself.

Loved that the had Mr. Forget and Move On do exactly that and come up with an iconic idea when it looked like he was at rock bottom.

Jon Bernthal, aka Shane on the Walking Dead, cast as Punisher on Season 2 of Daredevil.

Already pumped.

If it goes well enough, you have to think a Punisher series might be possible.

I would love a Punisher series!

Banshee is the best show that no one is watching.

I'm sure it's been mentioned here but I just finished season 3 and it continues to have strong episode after strong episode.

If you're looking for an action/violence/sex show Banshee is a must.

"The Knick" is another solid Cinemax show that no one watches. Beautifully shot, well acted look at the beginnings of modern medicine. SO much good TV these days.

I always try to catch an episode or two of Banshee when cinemax is on free preview. I will probably wait til the series ends and hopefully have a banshee marathon when it goes on netflix

True Detective back this Sunday. Reviews of the the first 3 episodes have been "meh"

Also the Brink and Ballers look like junk.

HBO is in a weird place, imo. Obviously Game of Thrones is awesome. But that is on the downside of its existence.

They don't have a ton right now. Especially from a drama perspective. The Leftovers was interesting but wasn't exactly awe-inspiring. The Wire creators are supposedly making a show about the development of the porn industry. That's going to be a tough sell for a larger audience. HBO better hope Westworld is something special.

On a different note, the Netflix show Sense8 was really intriguing. A first season of a show with that many characters in different settings is difficult but I thought it had a lot of potential at different moments.

It is a type of show that could really become epic in future seasons if they can pull it all together.

The Last Ship season 2, starts this Sunday at 9PM. Great show.

"True Detective" was always going to live up to people's expectations after that first season came out of nowhere and was awesome. I have a feeling it will still be better than most stuff on TV though.

"Brink" and "Ballers" definitely look awful. Half of me wants to give "Ballers" a shot because I love the Rock, but I doubt I actually will.

I think that HBO is just in a little bit of an in-between stage as they look to find their next big hit. "Luck" was an intriguing show but the animal cruelty stuff killed it. "Treme" was a critical success but a commercial flop. "True Blood," "Boardwalk Empire," and "The Newsroom" all had their problems (although I though BE and Newsroom were both really solid).

"Leftovers" is a really good show, but I don't think it catches on with the masses because they feel burned by Lindelof. "TD" was a massive success, but these lukewarm reviews might kill its chance to build on that momentum. You're probably right that "Westworld" has about as good of a shot as "GoT" to be a breakout hit for them. And as far as Simon's new show goes, I'll certainly be watching it but I doubt it becomes commercial success.

And don't forget about comedies, as I'm a big fan of "Veep," "Silicon Valley," and "Girls."

That all being said though, I still watch most of HBO's shit, and pretty much always give their new stuff a shot. They've earned that.

The Last Ship season 2, starts this Sunday at 9PM. Great show.

I agree, I just watched season 1 after seeing the many commercials for it during the TNT games in the playoffs. Was pleasantly surprised.

How many here have watched Person Of Interest?

If you haven't give it a try. One of the best shows I have seen. The creator of the show is Jonathan Nolan. Christopher Nolan's brother, who along with Chris wrote Memento, Inception and Interstellar.

Person has a great over arching story line. I love it. The one thing it lacks is a little humour but I think after the addition of root that even improved elias is a great character as well
