Title: New Amazon Pilots 2015!
Post by: Nikaer Drekin on January 17, 2015, 04:49:10 pm
So for those of you that have Prime Instant Video, Amazon has put up a bunch of pilot episodes (http://www.amazon.com/b/ref=svod_pilots4_p_TH_s_l_0?ie=UTF8&node=9940930011&pf_rd_p=2019120942&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_i=2676882011&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=146AJYSY1P3V8W9A04SX) for possible new shows. Have you watched any? Are they especially good or bad? Discuss them here!

I've watched one so far, "Cocked", and found it to be... not so great. It's a wacky family drama about a family who runs a gun-manufacturing empire, and you better believe the characters are a whooooole buncha stereotypes. Here's a write-up I did on my review blog (http://wggh.tumblr.com/post/108374227308/amazon-pilot-reviews-2015-cocked-or-when), linked because it's sort of long and there are a bunch of pictures.

Don't have the service, but sounds like a bloody terrible idea for a show. My dad will probably love it.

Hey, don't hold back on my account! That's what the show says, I would love to know all the reasons that's terrifically dumb.

I might pirate The Man in The High Castle because it's Ridley Scott and Philip K Dick.

But I really don't trust most people that produce "what if the Nazis won" fiction to handle the whole genocide-of-Jews-and-Rroma thing well, so I look forward to much cringing.
