4 episodes in, it is pretty good so far.
The dialogue could be better at times but it's mixing it up and I like that. "Maybe it's just a phase!" |

Nearly finished season 1.
Good cast, solid acting, but a few issues with the plot and character development and I feel like somebody should have curbed the constant growing weirdness in the side stories/characters. There are too many character exchanges where one person dominates, outwit or gotchas another too. It's almost every other scene. Just constant sour faces being returned after terse interplay or some droll piece of one-upmanship. It needs some levity. |

Rewatching The Sopranos as of a few days ago... almost done w season 2
Watching the following shows that are currently on air: - Better Call Saul - Freaking great... Amazing season - The Plot Against America - I like it so far... Good concept. - Westworld - Not sure... worried that this season might be "another stinker"... "Maeve" character is so annoying... - Beef House - New Tim & Eric show... funny... New season of "Fargo" starts next week apparently... Good show... |

I liked season 1 a lot but I did not like season 2. Season 3 seems better so far but "Maeve's" character is still annoying and unlikeable to me. Show became shittier and more boring when they started focusing on her too much imo.

Yeah...
The worst episode in season 2 was very Maeve centric, the one in Samurai World. |

Season 2 at least had that incredible plot line following A.I. reincarnation/life extension for humans.
That was top class. |

Will be a huge tragedy if they shot their wad with season 1 and can't carry the story into more interesting areas.

Never watched more than one episode of season 2...... Season 1 seemed like everyone was talking about it, and at the end it felt finished.....
But then they made season 2 and it seemed like no one was talking about it anymore, or cared.... |

Season 2 was good overall, I really did enjoy it for the story with Peter Mullan.
First season was absolutely brilliant though, they aint beating that without a pre-planned follow up story...which they obviously didn't. |

Catching up on the latest season of "Better Call Saul".
Excellent as always. Kerry Condon is a great actress and should have a bit more recognition. I would like to see her in more. |

Better Call Saul is much more fun than Breaking Bad overall. I enjoy the contrast of darkness and levity, Breaking Bad was darker but both cover the emotional spectrum very well. I just find because Saul is more a scamp rather than a full on sociopath you can relate to him. Was hard to feel like Walt a lot during Breaking Bad.

Walking Dead was great, even after Darabont and the zombie changes.
Season 6 was glorious. That's when it ended and the tone entirely changed from then onwards into fantasy. Season 7 is Xena Warrior Princess. |

Finished Money Heist Part 4...... damn.... thought it was gonna "finish this story arc" because the first one was only 2 parts, but guess not.... and even though I was not liking it as much as Parts 1 and 2, I do want more right now, and for the conclusion to this story.....

I can't remember seasons 5 and 6 of The Walking Dead, but Maggie seems to have reached peak hotness in season 4. Damn.

Finished season 6 of Bosch; solid outing, but seems to be lacking something of the earlier seasons. I do like the fact that they have given the Jerry Edgar character more to do this time round.

On to season 6 of The Walking Dead; and I've watched the first episode of a BBC adaptation of Evelyn Waugh's Decline and Fall novel, which is ok. I have still to finish the second season of The Big C, as I've been mostly focused on TWD.

I really enjoyed the first season of After Life, and I don't generally watch Ricky Gervais' stuff.

This season was a bit too obviously formulaic. Last season was simply a sad sack who needed to pull himself together through seeing the goodness around him so you get a mixture of deeply saddening dialogue complimented and bookended by some crass, vulgar comedy which softens the blow.
This season has ramped this up so that each episode wallows for longer and the vulgarity has been exponentially increased and broadened. It's also guilty of some truly dreary montages, there are too many of these. I think most episodes open with one and some may have more. I was dubious of the message in one particular aspect of the first season due to its horrifying detachment from an extremely dark issue in assisted suicide. I am equally skeptical of the message/note that this season ended on. It was actually quite sinister and probably relatively accurate as well. I have a lot of issues with it but it was worth seeing for the good parts. I think that it may be the most obviously emotionally manipulative show ever to come out of a comedian. |

Watching "The Last Dance" documentary about The Chicago Bulls 97/98 season and the careers of Jordan, Pippen and Rodman.
It's great so far. |

On to season 7 of The Walking Dead and I'm loving Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Negan, though I will need a bit of development of the character to stop him getting old. I also hope Darryl kills Dwight (don't spoil it for me).
The whole "Kingdom" thing with the dude and the tiger is just stupid. |

Season 7 rapidly takes on a daytime TV sword and sorcery vibe. It goes from hardcore to who cares.
If Kevin Sorbo had turned up it would have surprised no one. |

Finish After Life S2 over a couple of nights. The “toilet humour” was a bit egregious this time around but the emotional punch was real.
