Is Shameless worth watching?

Binged the first 3 seasons over a course of like 2 weeks. Been enjoying it, a very showtime format where each episode has its own plot outside of the over arching plot. I would recommend though as its a fun show to watch, about to put on season 4 episode 1 right now.

Anyone in here watch survivor?

Oh man, I just watched 'Wind River'. F#$%. Hits home deep. I know DB didn't get the film...but, man, I lived in New Mexico for 5 years. The entire range of New Mexico into Montana (Wind River, Wyoming definitively a part) has that desolate, cold, isolated feeling present in the film. The subject matter of the film - just gut wrenching. The hopelessness of some of the communities. The predation from the energy companies. The aloneness of the law out there amidst rampant drug abuse and crime. S#$%. The film broke me down. Jeremy Renner was fantastic again.

And, I would be remiss if I didn't remind us (as the film educated us at its close): Native American women are the most under-reported missing persons in the U.S. God damn. Not a good statistic.

Yeah I've been watching since season 2. This season has been pretty good. The hidden advantage is probably the best one they've ever done.

Just saw Justice League. Man the critics were right. Bad story telling, HORRIBLE CGI, SOMEHOW ABLE TO MAKE Superman more over powered than he should be (didn't even think that was possible) and while The Flash was entertaining his character was strait up useless.

Save your money

Forgot how awesome Wolf of Wall Street is. Has a ton of replay value.

A lot of people recommended Mindhunter so I watched the first two episodes last night and nothing grabbed me. I find the main character somewhat anoying. Might continue, might not.

If you find him annoying in the first two episodes, you might want to quit watching. He gets worse as the series goes on.

Loved Zodiac so Mindhunter was right down my alley, could definitely feel the Fincher presence.

Yeah could be huge for her later on in the season when votes get real tight, also has potential for mindgames.

I still watch Survivor. This season is kind of bland. And too many "advantages". It makes the game more luck oriented. This latest "no vote/double vote" is interesting though. And I like that it's all new players. I don't like "all star" seasons or when they mix old and new.

I like either all returners or all new players no mix. Joe might be the goat heel right now.

Oh man it's so good. I don't watch a ton of TV - I want to, but there are just other things I'd rather do or tend to do to relax (watching sports, playing video games). Not many shows grab me. This one...I watched four episodes today. I'm in.

Another episode of The Walking Dead. Another hour of my life gone. Another episode where literally nothing happens.

Waititi really took some chances and basically made an indie comedy with Marvel superheroes putting them in weirdly personal interactions with amazing results. He also voiced Korg, who might be my new favorite Marvel character ever. The part where he tries to kick the “ghost” still cracks me up every time I think about it. The action sequences were every bit as good as any Marvel movie I’ve ever seen.

Wait a minute...Taika Waititi was given the keys to a Marvel flick? That's must see. Eagle vs. Shark is incredible. Hunt for the Wilderpeople also incredibly well done. I will go see this.

Just going back thru this thread-did u go?

Dangerous Person would be an excellent User name...

This is the first season I stopped watching (Minus the 1st episode). I'll probably catch up at a later date, but I'm bored with it.
