My recomend :

Jane the Virgin - an american remake of a venezuelan telenovela. It's a comedy, drama, hysterical, heartwarming, fun, suspenseful, ridicules but in the best way, has a really greta and fun narrator, ....

Basically, Jane is 23 year old virgin that made a promise to her grandma (after her own mother become preggers at 16) that she would wait for marriage. She is studying to be a teacher and is dating Micheal for 2 years (he is a detective). During a routine pap smear, she gets accidentally inseminated (the doctor, Luisa, found out the night before that her wife cheated on her and was distracted that morning) and instead of inseminating her sister-in-law with her brothers sperm (Rafael is a former playboy, owns a hotel and had testicular cancer so that is his only seamen sample). You can imagine the chaos that ensues, as it's relieved that Jane use to have a crush on Rafael, that his and his wife's marriage is falling apart and that their hotel is connected to a massive drug dealer named Sin Rostro, who the police has been trying to identify and capture for years.

If you liked Ugly Betty and a crazy telenovela that both has all the tropes and yet openly makes fun of them, it's your show.

Yes, I admit I watch EMPIRE.  It's like crack to me, and Cookie is such a colorful character.

I  would love for Amber Riley (as rumored) to get a role on this show.

It's numbers are insane, this weeks Neilsen ratings are 5.7.

Amber went to the Empire premiere and I believe is friends with some of the EMPIRE PTB, but as far as I know, it's just rumors for now.  Her manager said she has "upcoming projects" pending, so we'll see.  Seriously, a show like EMPIRE would be perfect for Amber, most actors don't have the pipes to sing realistically and Amber with good material, she's really improved as an actress IMO.

If anyone has any more recent news...

no shame in it sister, i watch it as well. it's like a really well produced and very expensive soap opera or even telenovela almost, reminds me of La Madrastra (The Stepmother) from 7-8 years ago, only lot less mistery and crying. and the ratings are insane, it jumped like whole 2.0 points from the premier, which like never happens.

as for amber, she is maybe in season 2, as season one is only 13 episodes and is almost over

TV Series you want to discuss, it's here - Page 26 @Empire_S1_Keyart_vertical_R10_simp

Lucius Lyon is a rap legend and founder of Empire, a mayor musical label, that is about to go public on the stock market. He finds out that he is suffering from ALS and has just a few years to live and needs to leave Empire in the hands of the right heir. Lucius has 3 sons, the oldest is businessman  but has no musical talents and is married to a white girl which is why he isn't a direct choice, the middle one is an incredibly talented r'n'b singer and songwriter but he is gay and his father least favorite, and the youngest is a promising rapper who is spoiled and has huge mommy issues. Now, Cookie is Lyon's ex wife who has been in prison for the last 17 years. In order to help him make it, she got involved with gangster and drugs and got caught and sentenced to 20 years in jail. The thing that no one knows is that the money that started Empire was 400,000 $ of cookie's drug money and if it was known the company would implode. So when she gets out of jail, she wants half of the company which she won't get so she sticks around to make Lucious life hell by favoring their middle son, while Lucius favors the youngest. Thus starts the battle for the top. There are a few more plotlines and characters, but this is the jist of it.

First look at Melissa as Super Girl. I'm kind of unimpressed, it's not awful but not OMG great either.

at least they didn't make it slutty. would have preferred a pair of leather pants/tights instead of the skirt, but you can't have everything.

leather isn't elastic. these are synthetic that can skin tight (like lycra). all super heros wear lycra, so they can better show off their exagerated muscles/curves since comics are always drawn that way.

thank god they didn't stuff 2 soccer balls into her bras.

I am now a total Hannible fan! Smile Can't wait for season 3 to start.

I worried about the blood and gore factor, but who was I kidding! This is broadcast network and the degree of grossness is mild at least by my standard. If you have watched some cable shows this is like fully clothed porn. It's also not a horror show. It maybe called "psychological thriller" but the "thrill" part is mostly psychological.

I stayed away from this series for long because I envisioned it to be more of a slasher type of thing, and I was very wrong. I think a lot of people especially women stayed away from it because they thought they would be turned off by the subject matter or visuals. Only if they could give the show a chance by watching the first few episodes. The first episode alone may not draw you in. The second season of the show is even better than the first.

Compare it w/ AHS, I have to stay that although it's like comparing apples with oranges, Hannible is so much better written, crafted and threaded together. I had trouble stay watching AHS, because Ryan Murphy always wander off and drag the story for apparently no clear purpose.

So, if you are like me, who have been staying away from Hannible because of its "genre" and image/impression, don't be afraid. It's a awfully good show that gets better as time goes on.

The only downside is that Hannible is available on Amazon Prime and Hulu+, but not on Netflix.

told you it was en epic show. Smile beautifully shot, very stylized, great use of visual metaphors and themes, great villain/hero and a great cast in general and i love the way fuller is adapting the hannibal story to the small screen and to today.

^ according to IMDB he has only 6 episodes, but that's perfectly fine w/ me. I am just glad to see him on this show at all.

i have never read the books. The opening credits of the show says it's based on "Red Dragon". does that book provide all the material for all these episodes? I heard the author wrote 4 books about the character Hannible Lector. One of them is Silence of the Lamb. I saw that movie, but not the Red Dragon movie. I am not sure how the show corresponds to any of these books.

the are 4 novels.
red dragon - written first, second in timeline wise, hannibal has already been captured with will's help and they are trying to catch the tooth fairy. basically, the second part of this season should be this book, more or less.
silence of the lambs - written second, third in the timeline, lecter is still in the mental hospital, first appearance of clarice sterling, catching buffalo bill (as of yet unknown whether or not they will get permeation to use her character or will have to make a proxy)
hannibal - written third, forth timeline wise, lector has been out for 10 or so years, sterling has been trying to catch him, has a very controversial ending
hannibal rising - written last, it's a flashback book about how hannibal developed his cannibalistic fixations, people don't like it because it gives him a somewhat simpatetic background and explains the origin of his psychopathy. if they touch on this book it will be heavily edited as it's set during WW2 and in the fifies/sixties of 20th century

thank you so much for the info! I am not going to read the books until after all is over. For me reading books first always ruin my show watching experience. ALWAYS. so i am staying away from all the spoilers. one thing is already spoiled for me of course - that Hannible would be caught eventually. I really hate this creature so knowing he would be caught later gave me some peace of mind. At the end of both seasons, it seemed that

Why doesn't the book continue w/ Will Graham and introduces Clarice instead?

i'm not sure, but i think will has just had enough of lecter as he tries to kill him and his family from prison using the tooth fairy in the climax of red dragon. also, will by that point knows lecter pretty well, and with clarice we get the inside info from a novice and someone who has only read about lecter.

^I read about it on a Dutch newssite: apparently 4 episodes were leaked. ohmy
They say the episodes are of bad quality with a watermark in them, but anyone who can't wait for a few weeks can now see them.

Wow, this is a very deliberate act to hurt the show, and it most likely was an inside job.
Heads are going to roll if they find whoever did it.


(Btw, I don't watch GoT, but I know it's one of the most popular shows of the moment.)

Orphan Black is back and i watched one episode and completely lost as to who is what and what's going on. I think my brain is too simple for this show. Will pass on and try something else.

I am certainly not complaining that

Haven't seen this season, yet, but I guess having too many clones is confusing lol

Oh, anybody here is watching Game of Thrones's season 5? Is it good?

^ yes yes! goodie goodie! love it so far. I heard they are getting away from the books now, since there's no telling when and if the author would complete the series. meanwhile the tv show can't wait, so hell knows what will happen. anybody can die. so far some have already died. yoohooo! (not to celebrate death of course). watch it. it's great as usual.
