Rectify, Orphan Black, and other under the radar shows

[ALASKA]

Anyone watching this?

I finally dove in last night, got through the first two episodes. Really enjoyed it. Thought it was pretty beautiful, did a great job capturing what I imagine something like this would feel like.

Loved the way they used music.

speaking of music, anyone know where I can get a track listing of songs they used?

[LilLeftBrain]

was actually deciding between starting this or orphan black last night. went orphan black and will report that that is also awesome. gonna dive in on rectify after that tho, the pilot got crazy praise

I've been wanting to watch Rectify but I always forget about it when looking for something to watch. I don't get Sundance in HD, so I never recorded it. I do have Sundance HD on demand, though, but I never think about it when looking for something to watch. This thread shall serve as a reminder and I will get to it post haste.
I did read that the show was picked up for a second season. I just assumed it was a mini-series like Top of the Lake, which was excellent.

As for Orphan Black, I can't vouch if it's better than Rectify but I fucking love that show. I think it's the best show that no one has heard of. It also has been renewed.

[ALASKA]

it is pretty solid through two episodes, slow as shit, it feels like being down south in the summer it is so slow. But it is dope, well shot, terrific acting, great music, abigal spencer is real nice to look at.

I have wanted to check out Top of the Lake, maybe I will netflix it.

As for Orphan Black, whats that stuff? I saw the commercials during my Luther catch up and few weeks dabbling in the disappointing Copper.

It's a show that reveals what it's truly about in the opening scene of the third episode. Many people were already spoiled before the pilot aired since previews gave it away. I went in blind and loved it. Shouldn't take away your enjoyment either way, it's a great show. I'll give you a non-spoiler synopsis.

It takes place in Canada about a troubled woman who witnesses a woman who looks exactly like her take her own life by jumping in front of a train. The troubled woman has the brilliant idea of assuming the now deceased woman’s identity. Big mistake! The dead woman had more troubles than she could possibly have conceived.
That's just the opening scene of the pilot. It gets crazier from there.

There's only 2 episodes left, tonights and next Saturday.

Next Saturday BBC America will be marathoning the entire season beginning at noon edt. I highly recommend checking it out. The pilot is also currently free to watch on iTunes.

[ALASKA]

i am going to dvr the whole season i guess.

[PopeyeJones]

Really liked the Orphan Black pilot but forgot to keep up with it. Planning to though.

Heard rectify is good but slow. True?

i do. thank you and i will set the dvr.

[LilLeftBrain]

orphan black finale was crazy good. ia lot of what coulda been deemed boring in the first few episodes made up here. t'll be said in the first line of anyone ever talking about this show, but Tatiana Maslany murrdered this shit harder than i ever recall a female drama lead murdering. she was fucking outstanding.

plan to start retcify next, gonna take a few days
but should this thread be a catch all for shows no one knows about
the fall starring gillian anderson i want to see, currently airing on bbca but is already up on netflix
in the flesh just started the other nightbut i wanna see
top of the lake fits cause i don't think enough people have seen it
while we're at it, terriers, man
terriers.

[ALASKA]

i dvr'ed in the flesh, looking forward to that.

need to peep top of the lake, every time i start i get distracted.

really loved orphan black. agree about TM killing that shit. really the entire cast outside of olivier were great.

[Dan]

I'm making an Orphan Black Season 2 thread next year. That show deserves some recognition. Tatiana is so damned worthy of an Emmy and Golden Globe. I hope she at least gets nominated.

[ALASKA]

so the big question is which version of orphan black most made you want to

Cosima

[LilLeftBrain]

yep, would say the same.
sarah after that tho

[ALASKA]

agreed on both accounts.

[LilLeftBrain]

think allison was actually the most fun to watch her play
esp her riding or dying in those last few episodes

allison definitely grew on me. especially when she went off on her husband.

[Dan]

Love the new title. This is now my favorite thread in Curb.

I started out watching Orphan Black. It was good but I lost track of it when I kept watching other shows out there like Rogue. Recitfy is that sci-fi show, right? I think I saw th first episode and the same thing applies, no time for it.

nah rectify is sundance channel. couldnt be farther from sci fi.

[LilLeftBrain]

i was listening to a television related podcast and an episode of rectify was described as 'in this one he got glasses' and i immediately thought i'd like to see that

There was some show that someone brought up on here that was called something like Rectify. Can't remember the name of it now. Still I'll give Rectify a shot.

[Dan]

Well, maybe Tatiana does have a chance at winning an award. Last night she won a Critic's Choice award for best actress in a drama series.

[ThaJim2]

Anyone else watch Falling Skies? I don't know why I do but always seem to watch it. I don't remember if these new aliens where introduced last season or not. Maybe it will spice it up a bit.

[alpha]

I stuck with revolution all season. Got really good after winter break.
