I've caught up on Misfits on Hulu (I think there will be about 3 more episodes to see but I have to wait for them), and their algorithm is recommending I watch Alphas. Some people here liked it, yeah?
Zombies! Hyena people! Snyder!
Student ,'Touched'
Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I like Alphas. Straithairn and the guy that was an intern on Bones are great, and everyone else is okay.

Agreed - Gary and Strathairn are the best characters. Bill his moments, but I'm pretty neutral about the rest. They had a few good guest characters, though.

Thanks, I'll give it a try then.
It doesn't seem possible that I need more TV, and yet apparently I do. Weird.

Art Crawl!!!
It's one of those shows that starts slowly and gets better over the period of the first season. . . so give it a few episodes, you know?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
What sumi said. Alphas could be better but I liked it and look forward to next season.

I mostly watched for the guest stars last season, I hope they flesh out the characters a little more this season.
