That second episode was excellent.
Absolutely tremendous escalation and pay off. |

Episode 3 is sort of Scandinavian Black Mirror lite, but it wasn't good.
Episode 4 is almost offensively bad after a promising premise and first half. There was a nice kind of Usual Suspects style reveal that went nowhere and served only to undermine the effort. These things are being undone by their execution. Slik if you get a chance to see episode 2 give that one a go. I know you like a good horror. |

Stunningly beautiful woman in episode 5, committed to watching what is surely some horribly upsetting ghost story now.
Why do I do this to myself... |

The atmosphere reminds me of my beloved "Grimm" which is perfect. I don't particularly like horror that only aims to terrify, a bit of humour and geniality is always nice, especially when it isn't only used to set up scares. Stiillllllll love the shit outta this. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are one the greatest on-screen pair ever. |

I'm going to assume you're talking about "Burke & Hare", have confused it with "The Brothers Grimm" because both are pretty crummy despite sharing no similarities and for good measure you've mistaken Andy Serkis for Nick Frost.
Is that what happened here? |

BTW "Grimm" was a TV series based on folklore and fairytales compiled by the Grimm brothers.
It was class. |

Episode 6 of Bloodride is pretty great.
I think most episodes do well to maintain a crawling creepiness that they seem to lose with mostly unsatisfactory endings. A lot of bluffs in this show, too many. This last one, along with the second, is head and tails above the others. |

I've finished season 3 of Westworld; I enjoyed it, though it was weird having the story told in a pretty much linear fashion when the other seasons played around with the timeline. Seasons 2 and 3 are still not as engaging as the first season.
I'm currently in the middle of season 3 of Fear the Walking Dead, and season 3 of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. I'm going to start season 5 of Outlander, and then when that is done watch the first season of The Leftovers, which I bought a while ago but for whatever reason have not watched. |

On Westworld, it definitely feels different after the big "reveal" of the 1st season. Season 2 was alright, very different, but it kinda worked I guess. I was kinda stoked for Season 3, but haven't bought it yet. Thinking of streaming or downloading it, but just haven't bothered. Figured the "real world" would break the show's "original feeling" moreso than the 2nd. Hopefully, that isn't the case. |

Didnt know they would put out a new season if 13 Reasons Why so fast... i usually forget about them as soon as i finish them anyway... this one is insane, it's basically Lost if it was a horror flick. They took out the resistance feminist tho

It's pretty different, I like stuff thats set in schools though. I think s2 was about like a angry white kid school shooter type, s3 was about covering up a murder, and s4 is some people trying to expose the cover up. They try to tackle real issues that kids go through, some of it's commendable and some of it kinda misses the mark and can be pretty cringe. S4 is fucking insane though

So good. If you liked the movie, get on this shit. If you didn't like the movie, you're probably just an awful person. |

I'm coming to the end of season 3 of Fear the Walking Dead and season 5 of Outlander, and I've watched the first episode of season 4 Agents of Shield.
Once I've finished the seasons I'm currently on for FWD and Outlander, I'm going to watch The Mandalorian, The Witcher, and season 4 of Veronica Mars; all on that website Seanny has introduced me to. Glorious. |

It finally "sold me" on "new look" Harley Quinn too (new look almost 10 years old I guess, so not so new)

Episode 5 is classic.

Laugh count is at that perfect level to give me time to recover between gags.
Best show I've started since Rick and Morty. |

No way does this show end well for anyone.
Such a great ominous vibe underneath the hilarity. I have fallen in love with it. Not a note wrong so far. |

Silicon Valley is so fucking funny it's not even fair.
Nothing I have ever said or done is as funny as this. It might be up there with Arrested Development as one of the smartest comedies ever written. Pure undiluted genius. |

I'm exhausted with laughter, but it makes me.
It's like torture binging this show. The torture of joy. |
