If that's your level of nitpicking, I suggest you not watch TV anymore. Or watch movies. Or read books. Or watch documentaries.

I still feel like my intelligence has been insulted. I'm keeping with it only because my wife likes it and my hope is that the following seasons are much better.
The shock and craziness sort of dies off as the show goes on. Season 3 is best IMO.

I'm not that picky. The reality is that everyone has different tastes and tolerances. That scene IMO is one of the all time worst scenes I've seen on any show.

The fact that season 1 is 53% on RT while seasons 2 & 3 are in the 80's is the reason I'm holding out hope that it gets good.

Probably been mentioned before, but The Morning Show on Apple TV is a great drama, huge cast, stellar writing- This and Ted Lasso make it almost worth it to add Apple TV. Also got a kick out of Mythic Quest: Raven's Banquet

IMO The Servant is criminally underrated.

wife and I started watching Bridgerton.
A lot more entertaining than I thought it was going to be. We've gone through 3 episodes and I won't mind finishing the season.

We're also looking forward to season 2 of Nancy Drew. That starts tonight.
Season 1 was a fun watch for those that need something new.

Decided to give Parks and Rec a go. I'm about 8 episodes into the second season and it's really difficult to get into. When does it start getting better?

It really hits its stride when Adam Scott and Rob Lowe join the cast, and Paul Schneider leaves, at the beginning of season 3. The best episodes of season 2 are to come as well.

If you don't like it yet, you probably aren't gonna really enjoy it.

bringing back an old suggestion.

If you want something that will make you laugh your head off,
check out "What we do in the Shadows"

I recently watched it again and it's just as good the second time around.

I've been watching Yellowstone. Never been to the Park, but have been wanting to go to the area for years. So the scenery itself is enough to draw me in.

It does get better in season's 2 & 3 for sure. I was expecting a modern type Dallas, and it's like that but with better acting, and not scaled back for Network T.V.

I am starting to think that my inlaw's would reward me handsomely if I was to take their other daughters current boy friend to the "Train Station."

We just started watching. I love it. I love everything about it.

"Theres no railroad tracks here!!"

Shut up. I'm taking you to the Train Station!

I'm not going to get into more of it due to possible spoilers, but Rip is the best. My favourite character by a mile and I'm only finished the first season.

People have kept telling me: "You have to watch Yellowstone! Its great! Its an amazing show!!"

I'm through one season. Thus far I must admit that I concur.

If you disagree, I'm offering free rides to 'The Train Station.'

By the time I can get my kids settled to sleep and the dog walked...it can be 10:00 and I'll think I'll put on an episode of Yellowstone. Next thing I know it's been 3 of them and it's 1:00 AM and I better get my ass to bed, or work will be sending my to the Bus Station, and I know enough about how things are at my current work...that I could be on my way to the Train Station. Even though it's a Steel company the owner is a Rancher at heart.

My wife really likes it and finding something we both like is half the battle. I don't love it but it's got enough stuff going on to keep my interest. The key is getting through the first season which isn't very good.

I should watch this again, starting now.
I had heard about this show through here I'm sure in the past, but after seeing this post I decided to finally give it a go. Thank you for that, I am really enjoying the show on season 2 now. And Rebecca sure is nice to look at.

How can you not like a show featuring an Amish gangster? It's pretty good right through until season 4 when it kind of runs its course.

What Yellowstone is really like in the summer - bumper to bumper traffic moving 20 km/h. Super crowded.

Just finished "Aunty Donna's Big Ol' House of Fun". If you've ever thought to yourself "...I wish the Lonely Island made a short TV series where they did lots of sketches and songs...but did everything in an Australian accent" then this is a perfect show for you!
