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

If you've made it through season 2 of Mr Robot, stick with it. I really enjoyed how they brought it all together in the last season.

IMO a really good guilty pleasure show is Banshee

Sons of Anarchy was a great guilty pleasure type show. It was never Emmy worthy or anything like that. It was boys running around with guns, pretending like what they were doing was life.



I liked the first two seasons. I liked the beginning and end of Season 3 but the Ireland stuff (in particular the half sister near bang stuff) was pointless, but I thought the season ended strong. I liked the rest of the series as well, but the final season was filler. Instead of just having a shortened season and wrapping things up more quickly, everything was dragged out. And man alive, perhaps the dumbest female character of all time in Jary. I was embarrassed to be a woman because of her. Just awful, stupid, pointless, huge step down from previous law enforcement characters on the show.


I am working my way through Superstore, which I think is definitely underrated. There is a scene in that show where he's trying to get everyone pumped up and they start chanting and stuff. It reminded me of working at Walmart when they used to try and get us psyched up by chanting out the Walmart store number. No one ever believed me that they did that.

That show was love/hate for me. I really liked the first few seasons (how can't you be drawn to a show that features an Amish gangster?) but the premises was so implausible that it was hard to suspend my belief for four seasons especially as it started becoming formulaic.

Just finished S3 last night and it paid off nicely. Excellent episode to finish that season.

Looking forward to starting S4 tonight!

I enjoyed it.

Okay. I was fine with the first episode and I was hoping it would be the end of it, but these last episodes are now mostly Michelle and Patton and less about the EAR/ONS story. I am halfway through tonight’s episode and they barely touched on it, and what they was relevant to the cases was talked about in previous episodes. I am not sure why I feel committed to this, already knowing the outcome, but I was kind of curious about the legality aspects of using the ancestry stuff to filter out suspects.

Emmy Nominations

No Rhea Seehorn for Better Call Saul? That's so wrong. Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara both nominated.

[getbak]

Yeah, that's insane. The show was nominated for Best Drama, so people obviously saw it.

[Strange Brew]

Glad to see Succession getting recognition. That is a powerhouse show.

Jeremy Strong would be my vote for best actor.

15 Nominations for Schitt's Creek

[Wormius]

Succession was one of the best shows I have seen in a while.

Watchmen was good, understand Regina King being nominated. Not sure about Jeremy Irons. It didn’t seem to be a difficult character to portray.

Rewatching Breaking Bad. I still find it so impressive when Bryan Cranstan goes from Walt to Heisenberg. I love it. Dad from Malcolm in the Middle in his underpants to full blown don't cross me Heisenberg.

Betty Gilpin's reaction to her Emmy nomination for GLOW.

I just finished “Halt & Catch Fire” on Netflix. It’s unbelievable, IMO. Season 1 is sort of trying to be “Mad Men in the 80’s tech race”, but they retool after S1 and it becomes an incredible human story with tech as the backdrop. I appreciated all the 80’s and 90’s references and decor. Would recommend x a badillion

I actually just started and am mid-way through Season 1.

I'm enjoying it thus far.

Lee Pace has serious acting chops.

Is it weird that I would really like a Buddy-Villain movie with Lee Pace and Adam Driver?

A few of the story lines later on are a little weak and it starts to feel repetitive, so I'm glad they stopped it when they did, before it got bad. Definitely worth watching though.

“Driven” was kind of like that... but with Jason Sudeikis instead of Adam Driver.

Definitely an over-the-top show, but I really enjoyed the characters. One of the only shows I managed to watched from start to finish.

If you’re not watching Corporate then you probably have a full, rewarding life with an adorable family and no worries whatsoever. I hate you.
