What are you watching on TV?

Fargo is a great movie - :)I used to be a movie buff. Years ago. Now? I watch about 5 movies a year. If that. I did watch Frozen a few weeks ago and was surprised by how much I liked it. I'm a fan of Disney/Pixar but the last few movies were disappointments. I actually fell asleep during Tangled...

I'll have to give musketeers a shot.And I never watched the Fargo movie either. Didn't know it was a show now.
Fargo is a show now? huh...so is From Dusk Til Dawn.Yes, he came at 1:00, MrsJ. He's still there now. If he knows what's good for him, he'll have me able to watch GoT tonight.
I'm so sick of all the online spoilers for it....
I once adopted a dog who had been deserted by his owner (we won't go into detail as the guy came back and demanded the dog and I had to turn him over. the dog subsequently disappeared. I assume the guy [who was an alcoholic] allowed him to end up taken by animal control). Anyway, the dog was big. He looked frightening but was one of those big puppy types. He loved everybody...except the cable guy. I had to sit and hold his collar when the cable guy was there.

Only an hour late. How convenient.
I've been watching more of AHC. They're covering a couple of the Nam battles tonight. Won't be watching much this weekend as we have church "stuff" both days. A service at 3:00 tomorrow followed by a potluck. Then a "brunch" instead of Sunday morning classes, service and then the regular free lunch we serve on Sundays (we get a lot of homeless).

Is it a mystery or something, right?"
It kind of is, but it's also a black comedy. Very dark, very..."
Do catch the movie. It's so good. The Coen brothers do some very strange things, but funny. They did Barton Fink, Raising Arizona, Oh Brother Where Art Thou, Millers Crossing, No Country for Old Men, The Big Lebowski, and others. The TV show is produced by them. I almost turned it off after the first 5 minutes, but then I was hooked. DVR is the best thing since (your gadget here)!!
I'm starting my education on Dr. Who. I'm starting with the David Tennant episodes.
My boyfriend decided to try watching Orphan Black, because I love it so much. His sister, who lives a city away, decided to do the same. Space, our Canadian version of SyFy was showing a marathon of the 10 season one episodes leasing up to the premiere of season 2.Boyfriend episode 1 - I don't know, it's okay. They're laying a lot of ground work.
Boyfriend episode 3 - I guess we could watch another one. It seems like it could be good.
Boyfriend episode 6 - Well, we need to watch them all today so you can see the new episode...
Boyfriend episode 8 - okay, we can't f@cking stop now!
Boyfriend's sister's texts:
"I'm on episode 4 and am already hooked!"
"I love Felix and Alison!"
I can't post the rest as they're too spoilery. It took us until 2:30 am to watch all the episodes, but he HAD to make sure I didn't miss my episode ;). His sister has already texted twice to talk to me about what happened. They've been texting about it all morning.
I've created 2 monsters
Ive never watched Orphan Black but laurels description of how it hooked her man and sister I decided to check to see if it was airing anywhere over here. BBC is showing the first season over the next five nights.
Yes BBC3 is showing it from 2.15 am. I should have said I'm in Ireland.
I try not to over hype things. I've had Casablance ruined for me that way. That said, it's worth a try. It sneaks up on you! I won't say anything more!
I'm just trying to get into Black Sails (is that the name??) - too much of this stuff is on premium tv. :(
What is premium TV? Another non-Canadian thing most likely?
Laurel wrote: "What is premium TV? Another non-Canadian thing most likely?"HBO, Starz, etc. Those channels. Black Sails is on Starz (and we don't have Starz).
Not sure about Orphan Black - but I'm sure its on something like that, too.
My BBC isn't doing an Orphan Black marathon. :(
Hubby just started watching it online.he's loving it.

Woo hoo!
Felina, I think it's available to watch online as people are becoming interested in it through word of mouth.
I typed in "watch Orphan Black online" and found a few sites. http://www.sidereel.com/orphan_black
The above site had all of the episodes. But, I know that some sites like Hulu work in places like the US but won't work in Canada. Do you know of a reputable site for your country?
Oh! I looked around a bit. I thought that www.space.ca only had the most recent episodes, but they have all the episodes commercial free!
Since we were forced to give up Dish and get cable, we now have Starz as part of it. So I'll be watching Black Sails. But I lost the entire final season of Breaking Bad by losing Dish.
Watched 'Seven Psychopaths' with dinner tonight. It was kinda awesome. Weird. So very weird. Kinda funny, kinda sad, very meta and fairly effed up. Me likey.Jer gives it 3.25 outta 5. I'm gonna go 3.75.

Before that we binge watched Supernatural all day, and we're finally caught up to current.
And now... withdrawal.
I might try and find Orphan Black on amazon.
I got two sisters and three nieces all hooked on Orphan Black. Makes it sound like a drug...
Never even heard of it... now I must google.
Orphan Black bath salts... no, um,Orphan Black tar, hmmm... still no

*sniffle*
So proud!
I watched episode 1 of Orphan Black. I have the same reaction as Laurel's boyfriend. I need to watch another episode to decide, but it's definitely different and interesting.
I'm curious to hear your opinion after episode 2 or 3 ;)
I mentioned it to the hubby last night... Since I'm not paying for HBO this season (& my sisters HBOgo account keeps failing over PS3!?#!) I imagine we will be checking it out soon.
I caught two episodes of Face Off last night. I LOVED IT! Hubby was furious because I recorded the whole season and the DVR is stuffed. But I don't care!!!!
:-D yaaaay!
I'm still behind...two episodes with RuPaul's Drag Race. Then I'm gonna try to glom the rest of this season's Face Off.
Watched first episode of Black Sails.Eh...Didn't do much for me.
I liked it. Its no GoT or anything, but still, pirates...
I'll give it another episode or two..
Laurel & Ala- not sure if I should hug ya'll or wave my fists at the two of you! Just finished the 3rd episode and my heart is in my throat. Reading time is going down the drain!
Sorry Jackie :PAt least its a short season show and the second is just now starting.
I'm trying not to miss too many episodes of Vikings Season 2 ...
Ala, that's true. I'm just mad it's not the weekend. I want to binge watch. :PRotuma, I love Vikings too!
Da Vinci's Demons. Admittedly most of it is jumping the shark, but I'm still enjoying it immensely.

I've heard it's good, but haven't had the chance to watch it. I think some of the people involved in Sherlock were involved in producing Musketeers, but I could be mistaken. Still, I'm crossing my fingers. Walking Dead is on hiatus. Dr. Who isn't back for a while and Face Off ends next week. I need something, dammit! I may even go back and start watching a Game of a Thrones on DVD. The fourth season previews seem enticing.
