Lights Out

[Abraham Smashington]

Fuck it, this show deserves a thread. Loved it. The main guy is great as was Stacy Keach. My only nitpick? The wife's accent kept coming and going. Besides that, the pilot did it's job and it's now added to our season pass. Really liked the way they edited the ice cream conversation with the beatdowns. Also, WTF to the guy in the bar. I don't give a fuck if you USED to be a NFL player, why would you goad on a fucking ex-heavyweight champ? Silly.

Damnit I forgot to DVR this. Must remember!

[BillyG]

Yup, the accent was SUPER distracting. It was mentioned in every review I read. Otherwise, love.

Maybe they should just hire Dominic West and put a wig on him to play the wife?

If you just pretend his wife IS british but is acclimating to a more stateside accent and forget about it, it's not nearly as distracting. Also LOVED that they kind of made "Lights" seem like a pushover till the flashbacks of him just dismantling those guys. Mother fucker was all like "HI-YAAAAAA" on baseball bat dude and I <3 that. The brother is obviously an asshole.

BUT I'M STILL PISSED TERRIERS GOT CANCELED. WTF FX?!?!?!?

Terriers did SHIT in the ratings, it was getting beat by reruns of Sunny and Rescue Me.

Not a fan of Lights Out yet, but I'll give it a few more episodes.

I get it, the ratings were bad but FFS it was a quality show and maybe they could have moved it to another night. But then again there's a reason I don't run a network.

It was a quality show with structural problems. The first being that it's long form narrative belonged on a premium channel with similar programming. It was painfully out of place on FX.

[B_Metal]

Yeah, just sucks to see a quality show tank when there's so much shit out there. Plus I kind of <3 Donal Logue in a manly way.

[Abraham Smashington]

Really dug the second episode. Should be interesting now that his kid knows about the dementia.

[B_Metal]

Yeah, I'm loving this one so far but it's still early. So far the brother looks like a leach who's going to be more trouble than he's worth.

[Abraham Smashington]

Still digging this show. Sucks to be JoJo. The match between Lights and El Diablo should be interesting.

[B_Metal]

Man, this show is pretty boss. His brother's a grade A fuck up and the harder he tries the deeper in shit he gets.

[BillyG]

Haven't watched last nights yet, but my friend told me they FINALLY covered their ass in regards to McCormacks' inability to hold an accent.

[B_Metal]

Yeah I need to watch this today too.
