I'm really impressed with sense8's opening theme. Everyone should watch it. It'll only take you about a minute!

I mean, I like the show quite a lot and I am clearly not the target audience.

Yeah, the show itself is pretty good, too.

[smarttony]

I used to be addicted to The Walking Dead, I stopped watching. After that I got hooked to watching The Arrow and Flash. I have yet to watch Gotham.

Legionnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.....

man I like this show

Me toooo.

[silverspawn]

Although I thought the finale was weak and the opener of season 2 is so far the worst episode of the show. Way too much fan service, and apparently not even in universe. I liked the show more when it was serious and less over the top.

I also have some moral complaints. The German guy is an awful person and the show never really judges him; he's treated just like any of the other 7. That and he should have died already!

It's been a while since I watched it, but I think your complaint does get addressed at some point.

I have got to watch it.

Anyone watch Into the Badlands?  Season 1 was a little lackluster but not bad.  It's a little stylistic with combat (kind of like martial arts movies; in the vein of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon).  Season 2 is starting up next week.  I hope it picks up a bit.

Fun fact, the main are place where the Baron Quinn lives is Evergreen Plantation in Louisiana.  (It's a pretty historic site, that comes up in a number of movies/shows.)  An ancestor of mine (my mom's family is from Louisiana) was actually an owner of the property for a small period of time.  This was after slavery, but the land was (and still is) active for growing sugar.  It's also available for tours, where you can walk through and see the house and slave quarters.  (If you watch Into the Badlands, the little wooden shack/houses in which the Clippers live are the actual slave quarters; entire families would live inside those little shacks. I've actually gone inside of them; they're very small.)

I've seen the plantation in other films; for example, one of the plantations that they visit in Django Unchained was Evergreen.

Badlands? I haven't watched it yet though my brother told me that it was a good series.

[JaketheBaseballGod22]

Yeah I thought it was very good.

I watched it. I really like the fighting. The plot was a gigantic mess. But it has promise.

[smarttony]

Watched the first episode last night. It was good! Thanks for the recommendation.

House of cards is like the perfect thing to watch if you want to lose all faith in humanity and start being depressed.

Legion renewed for Season 2 (reddit discusison).  Good news.  Apparently ratings have not been great (ratings are stupid, but sometimes still given credence), but the show is absolutely fantastic.

Last night was another great episode.

[pingpongsam]

This is Us wrapped this week. Final episode was definitely the weakest one of them all, wow, I guess they thought they left us hanging on a cliff? Biggest gripe I had was Jack stopped being Jack which I guess is explainable with the alcoholism but I don't think the two were appropriately linked for the viewer..

Low ratings?  But it's such a wild ride!

I know.  But these ratings aren't indicative of viewership that much, and also it's kind of out there so a lot of casual TV watchers may not invest.

Watching the first episode of Iron Fist. Some of the acting (or maybe dialogue writing) is a bit weak Hopefully it picks up.

I binged through all of it!

I'm pretty forgiving of mediocre TV in general, so I'm OK with it.  My biggest gripe with the show is simply that Danny Rand is just kind of stupid.  Why in the world would he think that it's a good idea to tell everyone he meets about his magical fist?  And why is he surprised when people think he is crazy because of it?  It's just kind of unbelievable for someone who is presumably highly trained and highly capable. 

I also found it strange that so many fights were evenly matched.  I guess it's supposed to be more tense that way, but I think it would have been way more fun if the Iron Fist just totally outclassed every opponent in combat ability.  But to be fair, I guess it's just conservation of ninjutsu.

I suppose both these things are kind of addressed when they reveal that Danny left before his training was complete.  Not really a satisfying explanation for me though.

[Witherweaver]

I've only watched two episodes so didn't click the spoilers.  I was a bit annoyed with his naivety, for instance admitting to the psychiatrist that he was the Iron Fist after the psychiatrist believed he was Danny Rand, even though it was obvious that it would get him committed.  However, it did occur to me that  he was raised in basically an alternate dimension where mystical powers are the norm, so he there isn't really a reason for him to not just tell the truth to people.

[Haddock]

I don't know if I'd say they're the best opening credits, but I do like them.  Maybe they're in the same category as others.  There are really some quality openers:

The Leftovers
True Detective
Twin Peaks
Walking Dead
Daredevil
Mademen
Game of Thrones

.. probably many others I'm forgetting. 

Dexter

Better than what we have currently in the oval office...

[Beyond Awesome]

Westworld. That's all. Watch it.

Question to the people who watched iron fist, how would you rank it with DD 1/2, Jessica jones, and Luke cage. I'm a huge superhero/comic fan but I only have so much time for B tier television and DD, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron fist, Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, Legends of Tommorow is way too much B tier.

Currently I am one season behind on all the D.C. shows and haven't watched luke cage or iron fist yet. Im now stuck in a pickle because the flash is by far my favorite of the shows though Jessica Jones was really really good. Arrow has become a pretty awful show and and having to watch all four D.C. shows to get the most out of flash and legends is annoying. However on the other hand I think daredevil season two was not great and I'm worried luke cage and iron fist will be mediocre as well leading to a super disappointing defenders show.

[jonts26]

Iron fist is the weakest of the defenders shows. It's just mediocre in pretty much every way. Acting, writing, fight choreography. The biggest plus is there's a good mount of character development and depth.
