Finished the second season of The Man In The High Castle. Great show, can't wait for season 3 to start on October 5th.
Saw the trailer for Jack Ryan, and agree it looks very promising as well.

Oh heck yeah! We have a release date! How did I miss that. Thank you and I agree, can't wait to see season 3!
EDIT: I just read Amazon has given the go for a season 4 also!
For fans of horror, I'd highly recommend Channel Zero on SyFy. We watched S1 it was very good, saw S2 was planned, for some reason just sort of forgot about it - then I recently saw the accolades about Season 3! Wow, we missed two seasons, so we just finished S2 and it's fantastic. It's probably some of the best horror television produced in the last several years.
So it's an anthology series, with a self-contained story per season, 6 episodes per season so it's pretty tight and focused. The interesting thing is the stories are taken from Creepypastas, horror stories that originate online, usually short, sometimes crown collaborations (where people post their experiences of some phenomenon as non-fiction), usually these are very viral as well.

Plots of the 4 season, not really spoiler-y, but I'll hide them in case anyone wants to go in totally cold:

Sounds awesome! Where are you watching it from?
Our sofa!
*rimshot*
Anyway, yes, that's an important detail I should've mentioned: we're watching directly on SyFy.com (I don't believe it's "included" on another streaming service as of yet, i.e., Netflix/Hulu/Prime), it's pay-per-episode on Prime/iTunes/Play, and SyFY is included in some bundled "TV" packages like Hulu Live, Sling, Vue, etc., not sure if those provide only "as broadcast" watching for SyFY or any access to existing content[?]

Haha thanks!! The sofa is a good spot.
Yeah I saw that it wasn’t on any of the streaming services. I have cable, but it seems season 1 is no longer available on the site. Guess I will have to pay for the first episode and see if I like it.
Root around the SyFy.com site, there's a lot of video content, some episode excerpts, maybe even a S1E1 freebie[?] You can probably get a sense of it, and S2 shifts gears a bit, gets a little more visceral, hahaha, there's a scene in S2E2 that was one of the more WTF moments I've had watching a television show in a while ...
Awesome! I am going to check on the first episode of season one today to and lunch and see what I think.
Sounds good! Have to check if it's available in Germany. Maybe Sky has it..
Was watching The Exorcist S1 a couple of weeks ago. Not bad. Not awesome of course but still captive.
S2 unfortunately is 25bucks for now so will wait that one out till they include it within Prime.

John Adams(HBO 2008)
An outstanding mini-series all around. The direction, performances and script are all top notch. The performances by Laura Linney(Abagail Adams), David Morse(George Washington) & Danny Huston(Samuel Adams) were particularly outstanding.
Quite possibly the best portrayal of the American Revolution IMHO. Highly recommended.

Just caught up with Killjoys on SyFy - through Hulu. Into Season 4 now.
Actually well done story and production.

i saw 7 or 8 episodes (did not watch TV then) and never seen them sequence, so I started yesterday.
the first 3 are kinda raw, dialog very tacky and portraits other departments are close-minded bullies.
what caught my interest was crime scenes than had over 10 investigators, this was before downsizing were today's crime TV shows have 3, tops!
The Man In The High Castle is a great show. I just finished rewatching seasons 1 & 2. Have you started Jack Ryan yet?
I read some bad reviews of Ryan so I'm holding off for now. Especially since its not a limited series, don't like to get into a show that might just be cancelled before it ends the way the creators want it to. Man In Castle is getting a bit boring for me, as well. And I know there will be at least two more seasons. They are really stretching out the original story. I hope they have an end in mind and in just doesn't keep going and going....
I wasn't aware The Man In The High Castle was given 2 additional seasons so thanks and thanks for the heads up on Jack Ryan.
Yeah, season 3 starts in a month and they got the thumbs up for a 4th. I've also seen 4 1/2 episodes of PKD's Electric Dreams. Although based on short stories written decades ago, I can't help but feel like its an inferior Black Mirror clone.
Awesome it's a good series. Thanks I'll check it out. Where do you get PKD's Electric Dreams?
