watched a bit of Perry Mason and said no, I have enough dark graphic crime drama in the rotation right now. Maybe try it later.

Been watching Hannibal along with last season of Homeland and too me several episodes to realize Hugh Dancy is in both.

The fourth season of Brockmire is easily the best comedic script ever written.

It channels the best aspects of the direction of Paul Verhoven with the most tongue-in-cheeck, under the radar, offensive comedy I have ever seen in my life.

Looking forward to “I’ll be gone in the dark”, starting on HBO tonight. 6 part series about Michelle McNamara and her hunt to find the “Golden State Killer”.

“High Town” seems to be getting panned a lot, but I actually enjoyed it. I think it’s over now, so it’s an easy 7 episode binge watch.

Harley Quinn season 2 ended last night, and I'm really hoping for season 3. What a great, zany show. Just so much fun that realistically in this series, the hero's are pretty much all jerks, and the villains are more anti-villains except for the Joker.

Anyone watching season 2 of Jordan Peele’s Twilight Zone? Season 1 was uneven but overall entertaining. We watched episode 1 of Season 2 and it wasn’t bad. Just so hard to surprise an audience anymore.

Yeah I just finished season 2.

A couple great episodes, and a couple duds I thought. Still fun overall.

I don’t know. It was okay. I think they dealt too much with her relationship with Patton Oswalt, but maybe they felt they had to say something to get it out of the way. I was more interested in the crime story, and not her or Patton so much.

As someone who know’s this story well and read her book, I don’t want to spoil it for anyone. Episode 1 is showing the people involved and setting up the rest of the story.

I enjoyed it.

Same. I have absolutely no issue with them using her widower husband to allow the audience to get to know her. I look forward to seeing subsequent episodes.

Interesting to see, as well, that the perpetrator was in the news today

Doom Patrol quietly returned last Thursday with a 2 episode premiere. And yes, it's every bit as strange and out there as the first season.

My kids love it. I am having trouble following it. I need to rewatch.

There is too much content out there. I can't even catch up on older shows let alone get into the new options. Over the last 5-6 months my wife and I have tackled;

Stranger Things
Man In The High Castle
Peaky Blinders
Watchmen
Westwing
Deadwood
Luther
Billions

Haven't finished them all but damn near there.

I thought I remembered getting pretty into it about halfway through the first season. It was good at the time, but I don't know if it would really measure up to current Netflix/HBO/AMC quality shows. Also, it got really bad somewhere around season 6 I think.
