Anyone else been watched the 2nd series of Rectify?

Really enjoying it, probably just as much as the 1st series, although I'm probably finding Ted Jr more interesting than Daniels storyline so far.
[+] Spoiler
With Ted Jr going to Carl about what Daniel did to him at the end of series 1 I can only see this coming up again at some point.
Also, the scene where Daniel went to see Kerwin's mum and brother was amazing.
The only thing about series 2 that I don't like so far is there are a lot less death row scenes which are probably my favourite thing about the show. I don't know if they'll eventually fade them out or whatever.

Also, Abigail Spencer :U:

I'm at episode 8 right now


This is so intense, SO INTENSE. It really is a great show.
[+] Spoiler
The settling of accounts between Trey and Daniel in episode 7 is one of the best scenes I've ever seen on tv
+Spencer :U: :U: :U:

And Aden Young is really doing a great job of keeping the watchers on the edge. He and the writers really nailed the "he's gonna snap anytime now" feeling

That episode with Troy when they went to George's house was so damn good. I've got episode 9 to watch still too.
[+] Spoiler
I really think Troy had a hand it in, it seems to have got to that point were I don't think even Daniel knows if he done it any more. Daggett's been really interesting this season too, how he actually wanted to get Bobby Dean for beating up Daniel despite no-one really wanting him to. I wonder if Ted Jr's gonna eventually crack though, with Senator Foulkes telling Ted what actually happened to Ted Jr.
Had a look on wikipedia and it looks like season 3 is only 6 episodes again, that's gonna suck having less next season, really had the time to breathe with the 10 this season!


Anyone else watching this?

new ones:
Extant - interesting, got me hooked at least
The Leftovers - first few eps I've watched have been good
Black Jesus - funny, Charlie Murphy is back (just so you don't get your hopes up, he doesn't play Jesus)
late to the party:
Parks and Recreation - pretty funny in parts, Amy Poehler feels weird outside of SNL for me though
Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job - 3 seasons in. ridiculous, sometimes painful to watch
The Office US - finished UK series twice, love it. this one is great so far as well
Arrested Development - really funny, only a few eps in

vicar

the eric andre show is probably right up your alley. I don't even have a scale for how much i like it tbh- It's like a soulful twin peaks version of tim and eric if you can believe that.

- Yeah Brooklyn 99 is pretty hilarious at times.
- Watching Justified at the moment. Quite good, but expect a shoot first then ask questions approach and a very cringey intro song.
- Went through all of Comedy Bang Bang really quick. I seem to be the only one that likes it though..
someone tell me I'm not crazy :lol:
- Friend just brought Bojack Horseman to my attention, that seems to be pretty good.
We pay an extra two dollars a month to get US Netflix, so I guess I can get the premiere season now.
Looks like it's kind of like Archer, but with funny drawing. Good cast list as well.

yep big fan of both Workaholics and Brooklyn 99, seen all that's out so far :D

Looking into the Eric Andre show now, looks good, will get back to you on that. it's done by Abso-lutely productions who seem to do all my favourites atm...Tim and Eric, Check it out, Jon Benjamin has a van, Nathan for you and Review. they have a few more I'm yet to get too.

yeah just heard about Bojack Horseman as well from a recent Will Arnett interview. pumped for that!

I'm a HUGE fan of the podcast but can't really appreciate the tv version. But those guys are amazing tbh.

DSF Eric? That's mad :lol:
Never really gave the podcast a go properly. Only listening to Flophouse and WTF at the moment.

*edit: BoJack Horseman is seriously good. Very well executed with great voice acting.
Similar to Archer, Bob's Burgers etc.. Really mixes all kinds of comedy and it works.
There's a seal called Neal McBeal the Navy SEAL seal, but what won me over is the incredible
theme music :D

Critics do not seem to agree though.
