In what way do the directors/writers of Borgen have..."balls"? What's particularly ballsy about the series in your opinion?Hwen Hoshino wrote:Okay, it was made by some leftists with balls. Not Joss Whedon types.StCapps wrote:ou tell me.

Re: What show are you watching right now?
I am thinking about starting to watch Into the Badlands but I just want to wait till the series end and then I can catch up. Tell me should I just start watching or is it they type of show that I have to see from the start?Hwen Hoshino wrote:Miris kiše na Balkanu
Into the Badlands
Continue, catch up needed:
Netflix's Marco Polo
Agents of Shield
Killjoys
Vikings
Borgen
Piovra
Game of Thrones
I have seen Season 1 of Marco Polo but I wasn't 100% sold on it. It was okay but I really never bothered to watch Season 2.
Tell me why are you watching AoS? I have almost drop watching the show and I am doing more of just reading the summaries than actually watching the show. Although, I have caught a few episodes this season but I have reached a certain point where I am finding all of Coulson's team (and Coulson) to be kind of assholes, except for like May and Mac, which just totally killed my liking of the show in general. I also have liked Mace and Ghost Rider/Robbie Reyes, but I have heard that they have killed Mace off and has written out Ghost Rider, so maybe I am not going to come back.
Also, I hated Season 3.

The series is just really good not uniquely ballsy. I recall some of the creative team making a series about manipulating global warming data after Borgen.BjornP wrote:In what way do the directors/writers of Borgen have..."balls"?

Re: What show are you watching right now?
Most wonderful time of the year for high quality television dramas.
On Sunday you've got The Leftovers on HBO.
On Monday you've got Better Call Saul on AMC.
On Tuesday you've got The Americans on FX.
On Wednesday you've got Fargo on FX.
It's a motherfucking bonanza of peak tv.

Season 3 felt like a wasted opportunity, IMO. My thoughts on Season 4 are this:Hwen Hoshino wrote:I just wanna say i finished AOS. I like the Inhumans thing, i wanna see that wrapped up.

Also, I hated Season 3.
I mean I did like Ghost Rider, the character but I just couldn't get into any of the main characters this season because if felt like they made them even bigger assholes then they were usually portrayed. Especially since everyone was so against Mace and it turned out that Mace was actually working on their side the whole time. Mace was a more competent leader than Coulson both political, media savvy, and strategically IMO. He actually wanted to do good and he seemed like a generally nice guy that was thrown into a shitty situation where his government used him and then he had to work with a bunch of assholes who didn't trust him for really any good reason and dealt it with a smile. Not to mentioned that he was the MCU equivalent of Jeffery "The Patriot" Mace. Overall, in my opinion, AoS tends to really have great side characters but they tend to have their main cast of characters just act like assholes like 80% of the time.
This also doesn't mention that the show tends to repeat storylines over and over again and try to use gimmicks to make you watch their show. Gimmicks like "who will die?", or the whole idea of bringing dead/written out characters, etc...
