Just dropped today. Anyone started it yet? The bombing news is the only thing I've watched all day but my plan is to try one tonight.

Saw it in the line up. Thought about watching it. What is the premise? Does it involve a werewolf?

Just looked 5 minutes ago if a thread was started to see if it was worth a look.

Yeah there's a werewolf. It's a horror themed show based on the few things I've seen/read. I think it's based on a book and Eli Roth is producing.

Watched about 10 minutes of episode one. Was OK for that, but it's shot like a porno. The lighting is really soft and yellowish.

If you can get past the editing and at times crapy acting, it's an intriguing story. I'm about 6 episodes in and I haven't gotten bored with it yet.

We must be watching different types of porn.

Just watched the first 2 episodes and I'm definitely intrigued. Not sure what I just watched.

Netflix is starting to up its game.

Yeah I really like what Netflix is doing with the release of their original series.

Because House of Cards was such a success, I definitely have some high expectations for everything else they are going to put out.

I'm about 6/7 episodes in and it is rather "meh" it reminds me a bit of Teen Wolf/The Gates series with some softcore porn in between. The magical crap in the show and acting is a bit meh as well....


Also the chick who played Jean Gray in the X-Men series is in this and damn she looks good. Also the way they transform in this is probably the most realistic if I was a werewolf type I guess

I watched the first episode last night and wasn't really blown away. Don't know that I'll finish it unless I get really bored. I assume it picks up?

Yeah when I was 12, straight brazzers/bangbros from here on out.

I watched two episodes last night. The show has kept my interest so far. Like an earlier poster said, I'm not really sure what I'm watching. I'll probably go ahead and finish the season.

Watched the first 4 over the weekened and I'm still not sure what I think. It is entertaining enough to get me to finish the season but I'm on the fence as to whether or not this is quality television show yet. Feels like it's getting a little cheesy but I'm holding out hope

If you ever saw the Gates television show it is very similar just a little more dark

Watched the first two episodes. I'm having a hard time getting past some of the terrible acting.

Don't get me wrong, some of the acting is great, but at least two of the main characters are borderline horrible.

Well no shite. Doesn't mean Skinemax isn't porn. I wasn't referring to porn with the HD camera six inches from the girl's cum squirting vagina. Jesus.

This is exactly how I feel.

I also cannot figure out if Famke Janssen is trying to speak with an accent or not. She goes back and forth between what seems like British and American. Its distracting.
