I’ll admit, Season 3 starts slowly, it plods along, but really seems to pull the plot together in the second half.

Season 1 is a darn tough act to follow just due to its unique nature. Season 2 is okay - not great, but helps to fill in a few of the pieces that come together in Season 3.

I'd agree with this. Season 3 turned out to be brilliant.

I was so bored watching it, I gave up half way through episode six when I realised I didn’t care about any of the characters or what happened to them. The story was so meh I honestly can’t even remember what happened in the eps I watched, and it was only about 2 months ago.

What is it with wives and plot-free series anyway. I have the same, err, situation.

It's kind of a Homeland wanna be.

Has been a holiday tradition for me for years now.

You should check out "The Pacific", based partly on "With the Old Breed: At Peleliu and Okinawa" by Eugene Sledge. Excellent series and book. I'm partial to this being a Marine myself.

We watched 4-5 episodes of "Murder Mountain" last night. Docu-series based on a murder and the number of missing people in Humboldt County, California. The LEO effort is very reminiscent of "The Innocent Man."

aka, weed growing capital of the country.

Gonna check out project blue book. Looks like it might be a pretty cool show.

My wife and I watched the first season of Letterkenny last night......OMFG not right but yet so funny. Gave me flash backs to when I worked my uncles farm in rural Ontario.

The lead character, where have I seen him before?

Edit: Little finger, from Game of Thrones.

Yup. Little finger. I think the 1st episode is on tonight. History Channel

Just finished the first season of Sunderland, 'Til I Die on Netflix. Filmmakers expected to chronicle Sunderland's efforts to get back to the Premiership and instead got something else and far more riveting instead. Was an awesome watch.

Same here. Traveling for work. I'll check it out in the next day or 2 and report back

Catching up on season two episode one of "The Orville". Hilarious! What a great show

Rhidium · 01-09-2019, 10:05 PM

Watching some anime.. Yamato 2022.

The Libertine · 01-11-2019, 05:00 AM

I actually like to watch old Alfred Hitchcock Presents shows.

Enjoy the plot-twists, black & white reflecting late 1950s society (cars, clothing, social norms), and without the ubiquitous mobile phone.

oystercheese · 01-14-2019, 04:22 AM

Finally getting around to binge-watching Parks & Recreation. It has started off super wacky, but getting a bit serious at times. Prefer when it goes full out comedy. But really enjoying the characters, especially Chris Pratt
