It's just brilliant. I almost cried during the scene where Russo is on the phone with his daughter in front of her house.

That entire episode is so intense.

I love Corey Stoll (the actor who plays Russo) now. I'm hoping that he gets some more notable work moving forward.

I hated him at first but by the end it pretty much broke my heart. That's what makes a great show.

What I love about the show is that it's forcing a younger audience who may not have seen a ton of Kevin Spacey's work to recognize his greatness.

One of my all-time favorite actors and he is nothing short of brilliant in the role. I'm expecting him to win a few Emmy's as a result.

Yep, I'm gonna have to check out some of his other stuff. He is brilliant. Frank is one of my favourite characters ever.

I hate Frank so much, yet I can't look away. I want him to die or somehow have his plans turn to crud. That's a sign that Spacey has done a great job with the character. Evil jackass.

Still haven't been able to will myself to watch past the first few episodes. I think the breaking of the fourth wall is getting to me.

Orange Is the New Black, though — fantastic stuff.

I root for Frank every step of the way. I just love him too much despite knowing that his intentions and actions are quite immoral. :laugh:

Played the Destiny alpha for the first time today. It was awesome.
The game is very beautiful graphically. It feels a lot like Halo, but more fast-paced. I like the variety in characters and weapons so far.

We are working our way through OITNB season 2, and it is really good so far. I did not take this show serious at first, but about half way through season 1 it started getting exceptionally good.

I find that the characters in that show are all guilty of making the absolute worst decisions possible to move along the plot.

Its still a fun ride though.

My wallet is going to be hurting in September.

Destiny.
NHL 15.
FIFA 15.

All within 2-3 weeks.

Same here. I have no money right now, and I probably won't be getting a summer job, but I'm looking forward to:

NHL 15
Destiny
Last of Us PS4

And would also like to play inFamous Second Son which I haven't gotten around to.
That's just to name a few.

Christmas is going to be fun for once I guess.

Unfortunately, I can't imagine any of you will be seeing me around much until July.

Off to Toronto for the World Championships tomorrow. Going to be the busiest, most hectic two weeks of my life. Wish me luck.

Funny thing is though, it's based on an actual biographical account.
I haven't read the book because I don't want to spoil the show, and I'm sure there is some artistic license on details - but the actual person is listed as a producer credit if I recall correctly.

I still need to start watching season 2. Have fallen behind on shows the last couple weeks.

Yup, it is. They get some parts of prison life wrong, and they create extra tension in the couple's relationship, but the core of the story is true.
