Shame on you. I loved both of them. I was really pissed when they cancelled Constantine. Lucifer was a bit slow at times but I'm glad that they saw enough potential in it to give it a second season.

i was totally hyped for the constantine tv series, and i enjoyed the first few episodes or so, but after that i wasn't really into it. it's definitely way better than what the 2005 movie was, but it felt restricted. for what the hellblazer comic series offered, i don't think nbc was the right place for a tv series based off its main character.

i thought the lucifer tv series was decent for the most part, but it was like a completely different story than the comics. for a lot of the episodes, i just wasn't involved in them 'til the end, which was usually a cliffhanger for the next episode. i'll probably end up watching the second season, but going into it

Spoiler for s1 finale:

neither are terrible by any means. they're just lackluster to me because i expected more from them considering the source material. with preacher on amc, i don't think it'll be too restricted, and the plot is already straying from the comics, but the first episode was fun

Definitely agree on Constantine. It just kinda feels like a 2nd-rate X-Files.

Halfway through season 2 of The Americans and all I can say is:

Keri Russell's naked ass....... Good lord.......

Hola.org is your friend.

I don't think anyone that's been around the internet for a while should have any problems working around that

or finding the content they want. No, I won't post links.
What I absolutely despise though are these pointless and quite frankly often offensive region locks of all kinds. I can understand them in some cases, not all are pointless... just the vast majority.

The Americans - Season 4 - Episode 4 - last 10 minutes

It's not very often that I find myself exclaiming "No f*cking way!!!" at my TV over and over again.

Spoiler for No f*cking way!!!:

Spoiler* for No fcking way!!!*: After having an awesome dream where she's given her freedom and she walks through the facility and out the doors, Nina is woken up rudely by a couple of soldiers, led out of her cell to an official sitting at a table, told that her appeal has been denied and that she will be executed shortly. A split second later she's shot point blank in the head from behind. It just happened so fast! Gonna miss you Nina. __________________ “The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be.”
