Binged watched the entire 8 episodes of season 1 between last night and today. Good show.

Was browsing through HBO earlier and realized we didn't finish Season of Vice Principals with Walter Goggins and Danny McBride, big fan of both and typically anything they are involved in.

Got 2 episodes in to Season 2 before the better half decided she had stayed up late enough.

Just finished the first episode of The Terminal List. Wasn't bad. A little slow at first but picked up at the end. Could be worth watching.

Reviews for this aren't the greatest but I'm gonna keep at it anyway to see what happens. I don't always agree with the reviews and that may be the case here.

I agree the first episode is not perfect, but it sets up the story very well. You will understand what I mean as you watch more episodes. My wife and I started episode 5 tonight and we couldn't stop until were were done with episode 8 which is the end of the first season. We really liked the show.

Yup, the story keeps dragging you in deeper. We're really enjoying it.

Tried 2017's The Mist ........ good GOD, speechless as to how bad this is. Trying to wedge every social justice issue they can into the script, it's also basically Days of Our Lives with the Mist in the background, like the entire premise has been forgotten. It's super dark, everything happens in dark, close quarters so you can't see shit. The lead female is out of her depth acting wise to top it off. Closest thing I can think of is Manifest, where the script and trajectory just go places that make absolutely no sense.

Abysmal.

We're too busy watching Wimbledon and Tour de France to have time for any fiction series just now. Or much else -- there are hours and hours of coverage.

Love me some Tennis but wife doesn't like to watch sport. Watching Kyrgios implode will be fun.

Just finished it up as well. It was kind of iffy at first as in the usual story development and 'where is this going?' phase. It was still a little jumpy for me but I liked the show overall and would watch a 2nd season.

It threw me off seeing (hearing?)Josh Bernthal NOT acting in the type of roles I've previously seen him in. Good for him!

Also, still watching One Piece but on the last aeason (on Hulu). Will probably pickup the past 2 eps of Stranger Things or start The Old Man as well.

I started watching Westworld after never seeing a second of it all these years. The first few episodes have been interesting but just okay. I don’t know if I’ll get much into it. Supposedly it’s going to get better so I might continue watching it here and there.

I watched the first episode years ago and just couldn't get into it. I hear it's a fantastic show though.

I’ve been watching Season 3 of Umbrella Academy and it continues to be entertaining, the Footloose dance scene was funny.

He's such a talent. But only if he can control himself.

He can't though. His brain is broken. He's learning to use it to advantage though, which could prove interesting.

He's a a lot like his countryman, Bernard Tomic. Wasted talent, except Kyrgios has/had more potential in my book.

So, I’m the exact opposite. It took me and the wife a bit time to get into Season 4, but found it really started to gel together and gain momentum -especially the second “half” of the Season.

Yes, there will be a Season 5, but not likely available until mid-late 2023 considering they have yet to even start filming. I just hope it won’t be pushed until 2024 or 2025.....

It's good! Worth the watch. The premise is interesting. This new season is off to a great start.
