I was extremely disappointed by the ending but the other 5 episodes were good.

Now starting season 4 and you can see the show has found it's groove, but for me season 2 still the highlight (maybe because it turned such a corner at that point). The mayor's character is still absolutely the worst thing about it and his role is still far too big IMO. It's too bad because I think there was real potential to subvert expectations and either use Chris Elliott and play him against type (sophisticated, classy etc.) or have a more polished looking actor portray the character as written. As it is, it's like getting hit over the head with a hammer. Like we get the joke already.

Also decided to start Party Down at the recommendation of others on here. What an incredible show. The main cast is hilarious and the guest stars each show (because of the party of the week format) really get a chance to shine. Some big names sprinkled in there and happy to see Molly Parker with a guest spot in the HS reunion episode.

Yeah, Party Down was definitely overlooked because it hasn't been widely available until recently. It was short, but very good for the time it had. Didn't even miss much of a beat when Megan Mullaly was brought on to replace Jane Lynch.

I just started watching “Corporate” On season 2 now and it’s hilarious. There are some Silicon Valley vibes to it.

I know there was a thread on this, but holy crap Ted Lasso is a wonderful show.

Yeah, the premise is excellent but some mack truck size plot holes. I don't know. I really enjoyed it but

Spoiler!

For example, the last scene. So the police have finished with the crime scene and somehow missed not only an inhaler lying in the middle of the street, but a bloody inhaler no less?
That's nonsense.
I hope is not indicative of the writing. We see

I just like it when Bryan Cranston goes into full panic mode. It's mesmerizing to watch!

It’s the kind of show the world needs right now

Better call Saul not winning anything at the Emmys is the biggest rip off in history. Emmys can go suck it.

Started liking Travel Man with Richard Ayoade. The Dubrovnik episode with Stephen Merchant is particularly good.

^Travel Man is another show I've binged during this whole debacle. Great choice, especially for people who aren't overly keen on travel. Ayoade is always funny IMHO.

[Locke]

What service is it on? I'm a big fan of Ayoade.

In Canada? I never know for sure. I do know it is on Prime and Hulu in America. I did see it on CBC Gem as well. Is that their streaming service?

I started watching Normal People after checking out this list. Boy, what an emotional rollercoaster. I was on the verge of tears more than I’d like to admit. The two main cast members have incredible chemistry and the (frequent) sex scenes seem genuine.

I highly recommend it.

Just finished Ted Lasso. what a great show. thanks for the heads up.

[Manhattanboy]

Started watching the Flight Attendant.

After 4 episodes I’m done. Awful.

Don’t waste your time.

I tried but its like it was intentionally uninteresting.

But I'm a completionist so I'll probably finish it....reluctantly.

I bailed midway through the first episode. I’m not sure why it’s getting so much high praise.

And this my friends is how bad series become drinking games. Its insidious.

[jayswin]

Good to know, because I had tried the first episode after high praise and thought "wow, this is awful".
