Premium Cable: The Cursing Costs Extra

[NAFDA] A thread for the discussion of all original programming on HBO, Showtime, Starz and other premium channels.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Short of subscribing to Showtime, is there a legal way to watch Homeland online? Do they have any kind of HBO Go type thing that doesn't require a cable subscription?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Does any pay channel do that? That would be cool. I could deal with watching some shows that way.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Jessica,

no legal way unless Amazon, Netflix or Itunes has it.

If "The Wire" were an 8-bit game.

Ironically enough, that "game" has spoilers in it. If you're still watching The Wire for the first time and want to stay unspoiled(though, honestly, can we ever?) you might not want to watch that, although it is funny as hell.

I stopped watching when I got confused, and luckily can't remember what was confusing me.

Well, that's okay then. I suppose The wire is not like other shows when it comes to spoiling, but it's funny there are real plot points in it.

So, did everyone else kind of fall off The Newsroom? I fell behind after episode 2, and have finally started to get caught up. It goes without saying, of course, that the Sorkin self-recycling continues unabated (that's why you should let the other writers in the room actually write episodes, Aaron...), but I have to say I thought episode 3 was okay, but episode 4, the one about tabloid journalism and culminating in the Gabby Giffords shooting totally got me. And of course, being Sorkin, he did it in the most ham-fisted, anvilicious ways possible, and yet I still totally fell for it.

Some day I may have to conduct a deeper examination of why I am so willing to overlook Sorkin's massive flaws in favor of his good points, but today is not that day.
