Vinyl anyone?

I'm waiting with that until I'm subscribing to HBO to also get the new GoT, Veep, Silicon Valley.

I heard it's super boring. Seems like another of these Mad Men-like tv series that try to captivative the audience with its ambience, without having any meaningful and exciting plot.

I liked Vinyl. Not outstanding but very easy to watch and an excellent soundtrack. Very different to Mad Men, more cartoonish - think Boogie Nights with a touch of Goodfellas

Better Call Saul - slow start but hell, I could watch Bob Odenkirk all day.

Star Trek V. Odd movie, even by the series standards.

He's very good.
Like Bryan Cranston from "Breaking Bad", he just owns the screen.

Berkut

I was watching the Expanse last night, and I realized that Miller, in my head, is basically what I would imagine CdMto be in that world.

I hope that means he's forced to do more Deadwood  :w00t:

Did he decide to stop making them or was it the network?

The network. Although he recently signed up to do a Deadwood film.

It Follows. Pretty cool. Very annoying soundtrack though, but that's usually the case with indie films.

Regarding the hype, it is the best horror film I have seen in quite a while, but that says more of the sad state the genre is than anything else. It is a good film though.

That one really got overhyped last year.  The filmmaking is good, the monster concept great (execution bad), and the score is the best part of it, but it adds up to less than it ought.

2015 wasn't a great year for horror, I agree, though The Nightmare was scary for a documentary.
