I don't think I watched the last season, maybe the last two. It just became so over the top ridiculous it wasn't enjoyable anymore, for me at least.

Kind of like The Walking Dead, after smashing in Glen's head, it was obvious it jumped the shark.

House of Cards? I think we got a few episodes into season 2 before calling it quits.

Thank you, Breaking Bad. I'm scarred for life. You know how a song can take you back to a specific moment in time? Well, it used to be when I heard "Who's tripping down the streets of the city, smiling at everybody she sees" I would flash back to being in the back of my dad's old station wagon with the wood panels on the side on a summer day heading to the beach. No mas. From now on, I will only see beat up cheap white pleather boots and BJs.

Carry on.

As a guy who works in operations, the thing I appreciate about Breaking Bad is it never, ever shies away from the logistical difficulties. It rarely makes the difficult seem easy. You can see by now that distribution is becoming an issue, waly t is like WTF JUST GET IT DONE and it's not that easy.

Even stupid shit like getting your staff to buy the right shit from a hardware store, they will fuck it up.

It doesn't shy away from the nittty gritty in the mess complications and that is what drives the story because if it was easy, there wouldn't be a story.

It's entertaining to say the least. Plenty of holy shit moments. Plenty of disturbing moments. It definitely has me looking forward to what happens next.

I am eager to see the beginning of Ozark's season four even if it's going to be split into two parts.

Anyone else hooked on Yellowstone? The plot thickens with every episode. Just started season two.

Haha, you're right, my bad. That's why I've stopped avoiding this thread and I'm coming back...just gonna skim through stuff that mentions it.

Ya, noticed that too. The last episode they tried that thing to spice it up, but I feel like they should've made it go on more for more effect.


Definitely not everyone's cup of tea but I really liked Dispatches from Elsewhere. So meaningful. Jason Segel is different.

We love it, although season 4 seems a bit unorganized. 1883 is the precursor to Yellowstone. Slow paced but good.

well, i'll give you season 3 as a big, boring mess...but i liked 1 & 2.


we've started 'black spot' on netflix...and it's entertaining so far.

appears to be a french mash up of a detective procedural + campy horror. it may turn into a disaster but the imdb reviews are fairly good. lots of stuff happening in 4 episodes, but they're holding off on the big reveal.

CONDOR on EPIX and thru Apple TV -- Superb. Its the latest version of the Book - 6DAYS OF THE CONDOR and the Robert Redford movie - 3 DAYS OF THE CONDOR. Also the writers clearly had some experienced script consultants who spent time in the business. R // Jim

It's achingly slow, I got 75% of the way through season one and it was going nowhere, like absolutely nowhere. Could have just been a movie.

Season 3, or season 4? I'm really looking forward to season 4. It's going be another cold Saturday, perfect for binge watching the first episodes.
