No laugh track though, right?

No, not really worried about a virus. I just liked using private stuff because with public stuff while it is easy to find real files, sometimes people upload fake stuff and just mess with people. It's just also nice at the private places because they are all official, they are uploaded extremely quick, it is easy to add lists of what shows you watch and to be notified when the next episode is up, etc. I just figured a lot of people here discuss TV And should know of ways to get on these sites.

Public trackers are mostly fine for my tv needs. Some weird 10+ year old stuff I have to get elsewhere

[junior94]

okay for the Blacklist, I reeeeeally hope they're not setting up some love triangle subplot for Ressler, and the other two agents (I'm totally blanking on their names... the ones that look like middle eastern types, the guy who's the geeky IT guy and the girl who's this latest episode was all about, her long lost brother) Anyway yea the IT guy has clearly been crushing on her big time for forever now, and I thought even by the end of last season they were at least hinting at that she could be interested, too. Then blam - they've got her and Ressler boning at the end of this episode. Please don't have a whole "IT guy gets jealous and now things are awkward at work" thing... I mean they've otherwise been on a decent run so far this season with the whole fugitive thing, and interesting dynamic with Tom returning as he has.
Hang on it just came to me... Samar? is that her name? She'd never really done much physically for me, but damn if she didn't look sexy in that tank top at the end.

and kinda strange to see the one black dude, back as one of the later "new team" on House he was quite a bit more timid, and always taking abuse from House about his Mormonism, now here on this he's like on of the main villains it turns out.

Watching With Bob and David on Netflix, it's good.

If you're going to use a public tracker, you might as well just call your cable company and tell them you're pirating media.

[AllifromOhio]

Can you provide example of public and of private? I don't know that much about it. PM if need be.

[ExistenceNow]

Piratebay and Kickass are big name public trackers. Wouldn't fuck them with your dick.


IpT is a private tracker.

What is TorrentDay?

Anyone watching "The Man in the High Castle" on Amazon Prime? I watched the first two episodes and it's quite compelling. I didn't see a thread for it. Alternate history about how WWII ended.

Was thinking about watching this and the show about crime scene cleaning.

Based on a book by the same author as Total Recall and Minority Report (which, interestingly enough, take place in the same universe. I think one of them is a sequel for the other, although I can't remember which is which or even if that's 100% the case), Philip K. Dick.

My apologies if that read like a junior post.

Looks like Man in the High Castle is getting very strong reviews. May have to peep this one soon:

The first two episodes are absolutely amazing. The book was fantastic so I'm really excited to see how the rest of the show translates.

Just started Into the Badlands. That was one hell of an opening.

Was that good? I saw the promos for it but couldn't decide if I'd give it a go or not.

[ExistenceNow]

Good action and a somewhat intriguing plot. I'm gonna keep going with it for a bit.

This grew on me as the episodes went on. It wasn't an absolute favorite, but I appreciated how well they blended races in without making it a thing, and how certain episodes were good for a different perspective (Parents episode, Indians on TV, etc) Plus Aziz' love interest is absolutely adorable.

[thebridge15]

the acting is borderline, but jokes are regular enough and there are some asides that are really funny (the flashbacks at the beginning of the parents episode were hilarious)

I enjoyed it. It's not a lot of lol moments but it's enjoyable and easy to digest.

Can't wait to check this out.

I'm 7 episodes into Master of None and absolutely love it. It's so fucking relatable and real. And I have the biggest crush on Noel Wells.

I saw the pilot for Man In The High Castle way back what's got to be like at least 6-7 months ago now, when I'd seen it had leaked out somewhere, so there was just that at the time.

but okay Chad, since you've even read the book, let me ask you this one thing, something I was wondering from the pilot and depending on the answer it may swing me that I wouldn't even bother with the rest.

Alright so obviously in the most basic terms it's about what if we actually lost WWII and so Germany and Japan had dual control here in America in the 50's. and then much of the narrative is about this underground newsreel showing what appears to be the reactions from us winning the war (the stuff we're familiar with as it happened in real life), and so it's about spreading this thing out, getting it into the right hands or whatever (sorry it's been several months since I saw the pilot). But so what I thought maybe this meant is that the footage on that film WAS real, and the conceit is that America DID win the war, or at least, didn't outright get creamed like it would otherwise seem in the rest of the set up of the story, but there was somehow this elaborate deal struck between the major parties involved that this false narrative would be presented to the public at large.

Is that at all what the story is? cause if so, it kinda feels like a bit of a cheat from the way the premise is initially presented, that things aren't really as different after all. And sorry this got so wordy, but ya know, well I guess that's me thanks.

finished master of none tonight. I'm honestly blown away. The season got better and better as it went on. And that finale was just something else. So well done. The dynamic between Dev and Rachel is just so real, and the writing in the show does such a great job of really exploring things that happen in relationships in real life and the thoughts that people have. Being in my mid-twenties I can relate a lot to the concepts/things that the show focuses on. Wow, what a season of television. I became so emotionally invested in the characters by the end. Bravo Aziz.

Oh, and the robotic seal is the fucking best thing ever.

That's a very good way to sum it up. I enjoyed it more and more with each episode. After the first ep I thought it was just gonna be another dry, crude comedy, but it gained some depth with episode and really made you connect with the story/actors. Very relatable storytelling. The relationship was one of the realest things I've seen in TV. I'm hoping there'll be more seasons.

exactly. The show makes a complete transformation from episode 1 to episode 10. And yet the themes/concepts explored in episode 1 (the idea of settling down with the right person and when to do it, etc) become a reality for Dev by the end. The show really does come full circle. Awesome, awesome writing.

Totally agree with you on the relationship being so real too. The 9th episode "Mornings" is seriously probably the best 30 minute RomCom concept on screen I've seen in a long time.

Just came in here to talk about Master of None. This show is fantastic. On Episode 6 (Nashville) right now and I'm blown away.

[RJP2741]

Finished the season. Loved it, can't wait for the next one (assuming there is one). The Louie comparisons are definitely accurate in terms of style and premise, but Master of None is a bit lighter, which makes it really enjoyable to watch.
