I need a new TV series to get into (old or new) v2

I agree. I mean we watched most of it, and may possibly finish last 4 episodes of S2 one day (because of momma's OCD), but I'd be happy if we didn't.

Maybe wait to see the reviews of S3 before committing. S2 doesn't get better over the last four episodes. One of the more disappointing second seasons I can remember from a series that got so much right in S1.

Shoresy- Watched the season finale tonight. Always an entertaining show if you are a hockey fan. This latest season was great, as usual. I just wish episodes were longer. 26 minutes isn't enough for the ridiculousness it brings. Not sure where they'll go for next season after this one. It has been renewed for a sixth season.

This is the thing...the first couple episodes I thought were good. I also thought the premise was good and I wanted to like it.

But hoo boy...that went off the rails and fast. Sometimes shows like that need some time to find their feet, but I felt that show went in the opposite direction.

The concept of a plane full of some of the most hardened criminals crash lands in a small remote town and the local Sheriff who mostly deals with mundane day-to-day infractions all of a sudden has to deal with that was, in my mind, a cool idea. That could have been fun all on it's own...but man did it just spin out of control and turn into a complete mess.

One year for Christmas my kids bought me the box set of WKRP with original music.

The show doesn't get the love it deserves

Been watching Party Down on Crave/HBO. Some hilarious episodes but also some duds. Enjoyable so far.
