    Hemlock Grove (Season 1)



    The trailer for this is now up on Netflix. It really looks like True Blood.

    Hilariously, they even got Alexander Skaarsgard's brother to star in it.
    Quote Quoting Donald Glover
    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    I can't muster up much motivation to watch a True Blood clone when I haven't been excited about that show for three years. Bring on Arrested Development.

    I watched the first episode. It was solid but nothing that really hooked me like American Horror Story did. I'll at least watch a few more.

    I wonder how this is going to perform. It doesn't have the advantage of being the first Netflix series released, nor of being the continuation of a beloved property (AD). Reviews are quite mixed as well.
    Last movies seen
    Frank: Good
    Mistaken for Strangers: Good
    Guardians of the Galaxy: Good

    Last TV seasons watched
    Treme (S04): Good
    The Legend of Korra (S03): Good

    "Explain it to me."
    "I can't. How do you explain dancing to a person with no legs."
    "I have legs that won't quit."

    This is the worst.

    Hahahaha I knew someone on MC would complain about that. Yeh the dialog is pretty terrible. They don't have a Kevin Spacey to hold down the fort in this one. That said, I was definitely intrigued at the pace this series was moving. I'm on the third episode and I still don't know what the underlining plot line is here between the main leads.

    Famke Janssen has an awful British accent.

    Wow. Well, it started with a slightly promising beginning before very quickly sinking into a despondent morass of total ineptitude. I mean, really, there's absolutely no excuse for those last two episodes. Did the * ahem * "screenwriters" just give the fuck up, or what?

    Episode 2 has a nifty werewolf transformation scene. The rest of the series has Alexander Skarsgård's little brother trying to act his way out of a paper bag.

    He fails.
    "We eventually managed to find them near Biskupin, where demonstrations of prehistoric farming are organized. These oxen couldn't be transported to anywhere else, so we had to built the entire studio around them. A scene that lasted twenty-something seconds took us a year and a half to prepare."
