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.

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

One year at Stache Bash, a band covered the outro of WKRP

Couldn’t tell what the hell they were singing either

Full marks

If. You like the British Bake Off you might have heard that Prue is leaving the show. Today they announced that her replacement will be Nigella Lawson. She's a great cook, and sexy as hell, so I'm stoked she's going to be the new judge, and look forward to even more innuendo from Alison and Noel.

Highly recommend.

Whoa, I didn’t know I was so far behind! Just sort of binged it - loved it. ‘Sort of binged it’ because I found it hard to watch 2 episodes back to back. Just the right amount of horror for me.

Enjoying the PITT season 1. What a rush of adrenaline, anxiety and misery.

People talk about it being super realistic, but it would seem things are super exaggerated for dramatic effect. By my math, only 0.02 people die per day in the average ER in the US?

I've watched some YouTube doctors react to episodes, and they say that the portrayal of medical practice is realistic, but obviously they wouldn't see a day with that many extreme cases. Lots of sprains, and cuts, and tummy aches wouldn't be as entertaining.

I posted this before but it bears repeating.

Finish the latest season of The Morning Show. Not as good as previous seasons, but it did have a satisfying payoff at the end.

I started both "Industry" and "Heated Rivalry" this past week. Both shows are pretty good. However, I may need to spread them apart as the amount of sex scenes combined is a bit much to handle all at once.

I like Industry too, but it one of those shows where the tone changes over time. Not necessarily for the better IMO.

Yep it’s much different than the first season. Curious to see how it goes in the new season but I might be done with it.
