My wife found the show called 'Zoo' on Netflix.   Got though the first series, but my God it's bad, like really bad.

I barely got through the first episode. Complete trash, and I'm surprised it's even survived for this long.

Oh Man that first episode was the best episode, seriously.  The show is just so fucking awful - It has nowhere near the budget for the story it's trying to tell, and the plot is just weird.  This is how series 1 ended...

Yeah...

So realistically speaking they should all die due to that stampede, but they'll probably come out with cuts and bruises and be driving the same car next season.

Have been close to giving up on Under the Dome several times but I can't stop watching for comical reasons at this point. The characters and the plot makes me mad but I still have a slight urge seeing the development. Light entertainment I guess.

I gave up on that show about 5 episodes in.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

I watched the entire show because of the interesting premise and it was something to kill time, but it was pretty bad. The smarter choice would have been to give up. :lol

Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

Did it have the same ending as the book? Because the book had a really, really annoyingly weak ending - one of King's worst ending and he's written to duff ones!

From what I gather, the series deviates entirely from the book. After the first season, I don't think it bears any resemblance. They just made up new shit to milk it out however long they needed to.

I'm so annoyed by that Phil character that went from laid back radiohost to police officer in one episodes and then acts like it's his proper job, the same can be said about Junior.  :facepalm:

I gave up on shows a long time ago, not even kidding.  :D

Scream Queens. Gave up after 3 or 4 episodes. Horrible.

I've seen about 3 or 4 random episodes from the first season and quite enjoyed it. It didn't take itself seriously, and the writing cracked me up. Not my usual kind of show though.
