I've been looking for good access to this show.

It has some quality.

The whole thing or just select seasons? I watched it a few years ago when it was on there, but they only had 7 of the 8 seasons.

This massively undersells Peep Show. I think it’s a top 10 comedy of all time and likely would have been more popular if not for the sometimes jarring POV style.

I did a search and only the first three seasons show up. Why do they bother only licencing a few seasons of a show?

Just finished watching S1 of Barry. My god what a great show. Last time I tried to watch it was on the a flight and I just wasn't feeling the first episode. Must have been the altitude or something because when I watched it again it hooked me after the first 10 minutes. Glad I gave it another shot.

Alright! Poland is finally getting with the times....they're only getting shows 2 years later than the rest of the World.

This is progress.

The scene with Barry and Chris in the car is one of the best scenes in recent TV history.

I got to the first episode of the second season of Twin Peaks and I'm out. Not my cup of tea in the slightest.

So I'm three seasons into "Episodes". I'd literally never heard of it and just randomly found it. It has Matt LeBlanc which gave me major red flags given how awful "Joey" was post-Friends.

Anyway, it's actually quite entertaining. He plays himself in the show and his acting style I'd say is basically an R-rated, more intelligent Joey persona.

Would recommend to anyone as a good casual show. And 5 seasons with short episodes and # per season to boot (~7 per season).

I loved Episodes. I've gone through it twice already.

I am kind of enjoying giving "Frasier" a second viewing. It's like a strange 90s time capsule.

I think I watched about 1/2 of Episodes original run, then lost track of it for some reason.
Good enough show, didn't really miss it enough to seek it back out when I lost track of it. I think I got a new PVR when I moved in 2013, and that must have been when I lost track.

Season 2 of the foods that made America drops on Tuesday on the History Channel. The first season was really great as they explored most of the brands that we know, and showed their evolution. The first episode of season 2 focuses on the founding of Pizza Hut, and how Pizza was bought to America.

Wow, episode 3 of Yellowstone was a kick in the guts. I didn't think it was possible to cram that much darkness and depression into 45 minutes. I even had to fast forward through one part that was too much to handle.

I assume the show doesn't get any less dire? I think this will be better to watch once or twice a week instead of binging.

I never knew Cattle Ranching was such a dark, dangerous business comprised of insidious malcontents.

Dont make me take you to the Train Station...

Do not bother with Your Honor.

The first few episodes are super tense and promising, and it nosedives hard, with a ridiculous finale.

I quite liked that show. It can be dumb and silly at times but it's well written and funny.

I like alter ego d-bag Leblanc
