Awake

After a car accident takes the life of a family member, a police detective lives two alternating parallel lives, one with his wife and one with his son. Is one of his "realities" merely a dream?

Or

American Horror Story

A family of three move from Boston to Los Angeles as a means of reconciling their past anguish. They move to a restored mansion, unaware that the home is haunted.

Both sound good and both have the same rating of 8.3 on imbd http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YPO-X8XrMLY/ThXb-y70nZI/AAAAAAAAAGE/cwXDZSX21Ls/s1600/confused-thinking-smiley.gif

Pointless starting Awake because it's just been cancelled so American Horror Story. I've heard good stuff about it.

American Horror Story, i've been meaning to download it for ages :amazed:

Niamh.
17-05-2012, 03:28 PM
Just googled it, might not be bad to watch Awake if there's only one season as long is it properly ties it all up

One Tree Hill, that's just finishing so you can catch up on 8 years worth of series and watch the last 2 eps on monday :amazed:

It's up there on addictive levels with Lost and Dexter for me. Just even stream the first episode and you'll be hooked, I guarantee it

American Horror Story is excellent, it's very addictive.

Jords
17-05-2012, 05:20 PM
They both sound really good! Zachary Quinto in AHS :worship:

In fact because I finish school a week on Wednesday I need a few things in the line-up to do over summer and I reckon Im gonna watch both these.

Gonna start with Awake since its only 1 series long, better now be too sad :sad:

Is it scary?

17-05-2012, 05:21 PM
Awake had a 9 season plan, it won't have a proper ending it will just have a regular season cliffhanger.

Jords
17-05-2012, 05:23 PM
Why did it get cancelled if it got good ratings? :S

Not really, It's a bit tense in places but you get used to it.

It didn't, it was apparantely close to setting a new record for lowest rated drama on a major broadcast network

Oh, it got an 8.3/10 on imdb but it's actual ratings, as in people watching it, were really low

Niall
17-05-2012, 05:47 PM
You should watch Heroes or Battlestar Galactica, not these. :nono:

Jords
17-05-2012, 05:50 PM
Yeah I was just reading up apparently the pilot did really well but interest got lost. Downloading the first ep anyway I think Id enjoy it.

Ive always wanted to watch Dexter but theres 72 eps now and Id think itd feel like a chore to get through them idk

Accidentally clicked in 'Awake'. Would be pointless doing that as it's just been axed. Yeah, I'd agree with the general sentiment on here - 'American Horror Story'.

Jords
21-05-2012, 02:19 AM
Its definitely not pointless watching Awake! Ive just watched the 6th ep and its getting better and better, such a shame it got axed because it didnt rake in the views. Dont see how it didnt???

Honestly it covers all angles with whats happening to Britten with the 2 different therapists in each reality and the crime situations he gets into are very intriguing. Its great how they relate it back as a coping stategy.

:love:

Jords
21-05-2012, 02:27 AM
Apparently theres a campaign called 'Save Awake'

-hopes works-

Jords
24-05-2012, 02:18 AM
Just got the 2 part finale to go! So ****ing good I cant wait!

Ep 11 was amazing and revealed something majorly significant to Britten. Id been guessing it for a while but Im so looking forward to what happens now he knows. And cant wait to find out why and how it all ends and whats real and whats not and omg jgfiorwjgf4wojfw4ttg4

Niamh you have to watch.

Niamh.
24-05-2012, 09:24 AM
I started it last night Jordy I'm 4 episodes in already! I love it! here's my theories so far :

I think either

A - The world with his son is real because I think the world with his wife is too happy and everything works out better in that world, plus his wife seems to be handling losing Rex almost too well

Or

B - Maybe neither world is real and he's actually in a coma or something? :suspect: and what he actually has to do is wake up from both worlds

I dont know if 1 reality is real and 1 isnt yet but if thats the case I really want it to be Hannah's. I know its horrid since you should always go with the kid but Rex is a bit annoying and Hannah is lovely plus a few things happen which youll get to.

I thought the coma thing too :suspect:

So excited shall be watching them tonight! :)

Niamh.
24-05-2012, 02:49 PM
Oh also I was thinking

another reason to support the coma theory would be, maybe all the things that happen in his dream are clues for him to try and remember what happened before the crash. Like the psychiatrist in one of the "realities" tell him that they found alcohol in his system when he crashed, then the girl in one of his cases has her drink spiked, maybe these are clues to what happened to him. Those cops are obviously hiding something that he found out about

Not sure about the ending though Niamh, we'll have to discuss when you finish but I think it ended with a series 2 definitely in mind so you dont fully know but yeah Ill wait dont wanna spoil anything :tongue:

Soooooooooooo good though :amazed:

Dr. Evans is a bit meh but I love Dr. Lee :love: I think he's too forceful to be a real doctor though :suspect:

You should watch nikita, if you havent already. Its bloody brilliant

What's that about? I just got one called Afterlife delivered from Amazon, Scott said it was really good, plus True Blood will be back again soon :amazed: I need to start making a list to keep track of all these series

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikita_%28TV_series%29

Basically its about a woman who is a 'legal' hitman but forced to do it...and escapes then tries to bring the company that forced her to do it down. It doesnt sound good but it really is, my mother forced me to watch the first ep because it didnt sound like my kind of thing and now am addicted :joker:

I chose AHS but I finished that now, decided to start Awake as well cos it sounded so interesting, I'm 5 episodes in and it's very good. When I started it I thought that they ended it properly but Jordy reckons they may not have :suspect:

25-05-2012, 01:40 PM
I'm going to start Fringe once this season of Game of Thrones ends I think

Marsh.
25-05-2012, 01:45 PM
Unfortunately, I think it's on a slippery slope of going into Lost levels of dropped plotlines judging by the recent finale. Just glad it ends in 13 episodes. I'll keep the faith.

Roy Mars III
25-05-2012, 01:45 PM
Fringe is very good. The first season is poor though, but once you get past that it's great

Marsh.
25-05-2012, 01:46 PM
Some really good episodes of the show are in season 1, the only gripe is it's very procedural at points.

Niamh.
25-05-2012, 01:49 PM
How's AHS? Is it worth watching? I need another show to take over from Fringe.

Yeah, it's good, creepy. Have you watched The walking Dead or Dexter? I would recommend both of those over AHS if you haven't already seen them

Oh bloody dear

Oh no, is it crap?

Yeah Twin Peaks is amazing. You should check out Deadwood then

Is that a cowboy type one? Don't know if I'd like that

25-05-2012, 02:14 PM
Oh god, I need to finish this now so we can discuss properly :amazed: The only thing is I stream them and the last few episodes have been very bitty and annoying to watch

Jords
25-05-2012, 02:15 PM

The torrent downloads are really good quality, only take about 10 minutes.

Niamh.
25-05-2012, 02:30 PM
I only watched 5 last night. Do I need something installed on my lap top to be able to d/l them, like will utorrent do? sorry, not too up on all this stuff :laugh:

Jords
25-05-2012, 02:35 PM
uTorrent is perfect!

Search on http://isohunt.com/ for the torrents and download VLC media player also to watch them all on.

Is "After Life" the one with Andrew Lincoln and Lesley Sharp? If so, I remember enjoying it.

Ohhhhhhh that's such a difficult question emmmm I prefer Dexter ..........slightly but there isn't much in it

Yes, that's the one, glad it's good then, got the two series for €14 includ. delivery so it was a bargain

I always use Videoweed. It streams the episodes straight off and then I paste the url into keepvid.com to download them. Torrents never work for me.

Think I'll start on The Walking Dead, there's less episodes to catch up with.

Jords
25-05-2012, 06:28 PM
Yeah cant be doing with 7 series before youve caught up with everybody else :joker:

hhmm that sounds a bit complicated.........eventhough this torrent I'm d/lind has been doing so for 15mins already and it says about an other hour :/

lol fair enough as I said there's not much in it between the two. You should try Dexter at some point though, it's really good

Roy Mars III
25-05-2012, 06:34 PM
putlocker is the only way to go

Niamh.
25-05-2012, 06:35 PM
I've tried both of those and they're all bitty and crap. It's the only series I've had such bad luck streaming

I think I might watch season 1 at some stage online and then get the DVDs if I like it. 7 seasons feels a lot to download. lol

It's not that complicated, you click on the video and then copy and paste the web address from the top and then it downloads straight to your desktop. Sometimes you get a crappy pixelated video, but more times than not it's good quality.

Jords
25-05-2012, 06:41 PM
An hour??? Maybe you didnt pick a fast torrent Niamh :laugh:
Always pick torrents with high seeds (S) and low leeches (L).

btw when searching for an ep put TV as the category and search like this - S01E06 (stands for series 1 episode 6) youll get them all come up straight away.

http://isohunt.com/torrents/?iht=3&ihq=awake+s01e06

Did you use the top 1?

Niamh.
25-05-2012, 06:45 PM
It's gone up to 1hour and 20mins now :/ think I'll try and find another

Jords
25-05-2012, 06:46 PM
Click on my link and use the top 1 should take about 10 mins

Niamh.
25-05-2012, 06:46 PM
ok thanks, the one I used is the 7th on that list

Jords
25-05-2012, 06:47 PM

The video file should be in your download document somewhere, you can delete the download file from Utorrent :bigsmile:
