It just gets weirder and weirder and I’m going to wait until it’s over to see if it gets resolved properly.

I just started s2 last night. I'd kind of like a glimmer of resolution AKA a reason to keep watching.

Started watching Ripley while traveling. Really good.

It is shot beautifully. Rome looks fantastic, really captures mood and period. If you like noir style, you'll love this. The acting is great and minimalist, which suits the genre.

Kaitlin Olson's new dramedy High Potential is pretty enjoyable. Easy to watch.

Nope. Bad Monkey was entertaining from start to finish.

Vince Vaughn was great.

Finale was lacking. Eve and Rosa deserved better endings. Never saw the point of Bonnie.

There could be a sequel - there was a second Yancey novel.

Oh I just assumed it was a setup.

Overall much better season than season 3.

Got back to being about spies instead of shoot outs.

Netflix canned Kaos, and that just plain sucks.

It's the 2000s again, where just about every genre show I tried to get into was killed by the network.

Kaos wasn't great, but it was pretty good. And it sits in a very small group of Netflix originals from this year that are worth your time.

Yeah Agreed

It had holes, but frankly was a lot better than some shows.

At least it was a novel idea

He put out some quality stuff. Great to see him rewarded with a leap to mainstream tv.

Hope it gets more seasons. Critic ratings are very high.

Cancelled after 6 weeks.

If you don't enter the zeitgeist in the first couple weeks, you might as well not exist.

I wonder what would have become of shows like Parks & Rec, Community, the Office, etc. in this current era where shows are not allowed to find their footing.

Netflix has ultimately become the most infuriating streaming platform. They once made solid shows, but have fell behind in Premiere TV to places like Apple and even Prime. They have rested on trash TV like realtor shows that people will watch while scrolling their phones

Bad Monkey ended with a wet fart but the first season was pretty good overall if you like Vince Vaughn doing a slightly toned down version of his swingers character. I do indeed care for that particular flavour of idiot and liked the show well enough to watch it every week.

I think Apple renews shows sometimes too so maybe there’ll even be a second season. You never know.

I liked Kaos at first - was falling asleep by episode 4.
