Watched the first three episodes of ‘Barry’ last night. Man, it’s pretty good...wasn’t planning on picking a new series up yet but it looks like I just did.

That show is good stuff!  :tup :tup

I started Big Little Lies recently, which I had heard good things about from a few people (both men and women).  Season 1 was very good, and I will dig into Season 2 here shortly.

Finished Hanna in one day. Started season 2 of Star Trek: Discovery tonight. 4 episodes in and really loving this season. I enjoyed season 1 but this really feels like a Trek show this season. Loving the lighter tone too.

Holey Moley!

Utterly stupid concept, but it's fun to watch nonetheless.

The Confession tapes on Netflix.

Two seasons so far and it goes over murder cases and the interrogation videos that were given, and it goes over whether the confessions are valid or coerced.

Basically its Making a murderer, but each episode is a new story.

Lucifer season 4, and Stranger Things season 3.  Both shows one episode per day.

Just finished 'You, Me, and The Apocalypse' recently. That was a British show.

Moved on to Wynonna Earp. Yet another Canadian show that has me hooked already after a few episodes. Have 3 seasons to watch and they finally got the funding for season 4 and possibly 5 too.

Watching "The Boys" on Prime. I usually don't like comic book stuff but this has some edge to it that I like.

Just watched first two episodes last night. Seems pretty interesting.

Tried to watch Another Life on Netflix but I had to quite after 1 1/2 episode, it's just so bad unfortunately.

They send a bunch of 20 yo scientists and astrounatuts to save Earth and everybody is mad at eachother all the time. :facepalm:

Why do sci-fi shows most of the time suck so much, honestly? I love the genre but most of the time it's a major letdown.

Sad to hear this about Another Life... I was kinda intrigued.  What pisses me off is that a lot of GOOD shows only last a few seasons - Continuum, Travelers, Colony are 3 off the top of my head I was REALLY in to, and got the boots way too early.

Yep. Was looking forward to Another Life. And the shows you mentioned were/are great.

I'm a few episodes into the final season of Orange Is The New Black ... This is a hard season to watch. I know the show has always tried to highlight societal issues throughout the story, but it's almost like the writers went into the room for this season and said "Abandon all plot lines and character arcs, and instead find a way to cram as many social issues into this season as possible. Black racial tensions, women in the work place, wage gaps, illegal immigration, suicide, political correctness.... Everything. Include everything".

I thought Orange Is the New Black went off the rails years ago; I stopped watching somewhere in the middle of Season 4, I think. And based on most reviews and fan comments I am seeing online, it sounds like this last season was a thud.  Too bad, as it had real promise at the start.

I know I am 6 years too late on this, but I just saw the office entire show in the past 2 months. Finished it last night.

The show was pretty good up until the last 2 season which felt forced. But they managed to wrap things up nicely.

I'm watching Deadwood season 2. Planning to follow up with a rewatch of Westworld season 2, 'cause if anything's worth a rewatch, is that complicated show.

Love me some Office. I will always argue that that show went downhill not because of Michael Scott's departure, but rather because of what they did with Andy's character.

Agree! It got to the point that I was hoping for Andy to have a sad ending  :coolio

I feel the same way. I actually like season 8, at least half of it, but season 9 is just weird in so many ways. Still has some great moments but it's a shadow of its older self. I didn't particular like the Jim-Pam stuff (felt like they ran out of ideas, plus the cameraman stuff still bugs me, and I don't recall Jim ever saying he likes sports until season 9), I really don't like Nellie, Toby turns into a full-on creep ("Smile if you love men's prostates!"), Clark is okay but Pete is whatever, Erin is full-on stupid instead of just naive. I thought Andy was obnoxious back in season 3, but by 9 he's a little hard to handle. Each time I get to Robert California's house party, though, I crack up.

Office is on a LOT in our house. To the point of I pretty much feel like a failure of a parent being that my 9 year old can quote near everything from the series and uses 'that's what she said' in context regularly.

While the last couple seasons weren't 'peak' Office....they were still funny enough but I will agree with Brian. They kind of butchered Andy's character at the end.

They butchered the hell of of Kevin too. He went from a pretty competent (Scrantonicity) guy who was just kind of slow to a full blown mentally disabled adult.

In the middle of The Office season 9 now and it always bothers me watching Darryl and Jim be roommates. The way the show depicts it, Jim is the one who starts being rude for no good reason - starts with Darryl's coffee mug, and he not only doesn't give it to him, he dumps it at shoulder height into the garbage can, right next to the sink. That's just so unlike Jim.

Finished all of Wynona Earp and season 2 of Star Trek Discovery.

Started The Boys on Amazon. I think GLOW comes back this week. Will definitely get right into that once it's back.

Caught up on Seasons 4 and 5 of Homeland. 

Watched all 3 seasons of Stranger Things

Watched season 1 of The Sinner, now on Season 2. 


All have been fantastic and fun to watch.

I have 2.5 episodes left. This season has been awesome and I feel like the show has lost no steam whatsoever. Sam is such a good character this season.

Sam is awesome...freaking love that character. Honestly, they've all been pretty awesome. This show has done a fantastic job of developing them all. The story is strong and I find myself curious as to how close they are sticking to the 'actual' history/people who inspired show also.

You mention 'no steam' for the show...and I kind of agree. I feel like this should be a bigger hit due to how well its done. Given NETFLIX pension for cancelling shows for the hell of it...I'm wondering if we will get a S4?

 :lol No, I fucked up typing.

I meant to write " This season has been awesome and I feel like the show has lost no steam whatsoever. ".  I kind of left out a critical word in that one

I'm with you though. I feel like this show has gone under the radar for most people. It's weird, a lot of older women I know have absolutely no interest in it. I figured they'd have eaten it up given the subject matter and the 80's nostalgia it provides.   

I'm going to be pissed if we get robbed of a season 4.
