It really is. Just about every show has me laughing and either in tears or just about there. A lot of the stuff for me that hit centered around Paige this season. Usually a character that annoys me after a little bit, but there is some really funny stuff with her and also some gut punches - I believe the main one I am thinking about is the very end of Ep.4.
ETA: powered through all of S3 this weekend.

Been looking at that one...I think my kids would still like it (12&8).
For our movie night this week, we watched Edward Scissorhands- and it's exactly how I remember it. Visually fantastic- love the art direction and contrast of gothic vs suburban pastel monochromes. Otherwise, just a stupid stupid movie. Had forgotten how awful Winona's character was...even through the end- completely irredeemable. 12 floppinho figured out the entire story after the first two minutes- including the hair cutting.

It's pretty great on all fronts. I binged to about ep 7 or 8, and I'm loving it. Two quibbles: it's getting a bit heavy on the melodrama as the season progresses after it's done a great job straddling humor and melodrama previously. maybe it's the bangs, and I know this bad form, but I find JJ Leigh's cosmetic surgery work genuinely distracting.

Sad but true. Have some early favorites from him- peewee, beetelgiuse...but lots of crap after.
Oh...big Ed wood fan, and also might be the only person who really enjoyed Mars Attacks.

I liked stuff like Sweeny Todd and Big Fish as well, but it felt like more often than not he became the director for hire if you wanted to make a children's property weird and creepy - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Alice in Wonderland, etc.

No, I liked Mars Attacks! but mostly because of the cast. Jim Brown + Tom Jones = Cinema Gold!
Yeah same here, both myself and wife.
Its funny, I read about the show in this thread a long time ago but was never motivated to check it out. It was over a year after I first heard anything about it before -out of desperation to find something my wife might like-we checked it out. I was really surprised it hooked me. Lot of heart in the show.
I liked Paige’s story line too, it seemed there was much more being juggled with the characters this season and I thought they did so deftly and thoughtfully.

Atypical Season 3 is out. Michael Rappaport, Jennifer Jason Leigh..
This is a good show for all.

I liked Mars Attacks. Could never decide if the Slim Whitman bit was a rip-off or an homage to Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, tho.

The scene where the martians bust in on the Tom Jones performance...Jones look of resignation and inevitability killed me. Like he had been waiting for martians to attack during a show his entire career.

Didn’t realize The End of the ####### World season 2 was dropping. I loved season 1 despite the subject matter. (About a teen boy who wants to murder his girlfriend.)

I tried searching (not my favorite thing on this forum) and came up empty. Is there a “The Office” thread in the FFA or are there just comments in the Netflix thread? I thought it had it’s own thread, but I could not find it.

Half way through the season. I don’t want to go too fast through the episodes. So perfectly weird and awesome.Juxtatarot said:

About to finish Unbelievable, based on a true story. Riveting with some of the best acting I've seen from teh ladies. Tony Collette is fabulous but she's not alone. Terrific series.

So, I watched Dolemite. I 2nd this
.It was the most fun watch I've had since GoT ended.
When they began working at the abandoned hotel, I immediately thought of Oscar Wells' The Trial and Gare d'Orsay.
I will watch again.

Season 2 of Castle Rock is just underway on Hulu. A few episodes into it now, it's more AHS from Fx than the previous season. It's also more aligned with the King universe than S1. It's kind of bat#### but still good creepy fun. Lizzie Caplan - from my beloved "Party Down" - does some good work with the character as written for Annie Wilks.

Yes, it's about Demjanjuk. I'm still bothered after watching it. Not only from the holocaust footage that is really, really hard to watch and on another level from what I've seen to date, but also at what a sham the whole trial was. I've never been disgusted by all three of the defense, prosecution, and judges until this one.
You'll also be going back and forth from episode to episode if you go in relatively blind to the whole story. In one you'll be sure he's Ivan the Terrible, then the next you'll think the opposite. By the end you'll probably have a good idea who he was but I have conflicted feelings on both Demjanjuk and the holocaust survivors who testified at the trial.
Just a fantastic documentary that will stick with you a while.

season 3 is up on Netflix and it's a good start through 2 episodes
if you thought the English accents were a big thick.. this one features Jamaicans. i went sans closed caption but think i need to go re-watch the first two with closed caption on.

Agree. I'm most entertained by the 2 smokeshows (Ruby and Manon - who just got the boot in the last ep we watched)

I saw a couple reviews here about this show that weren't good.
We started this a couple days ago and I think it is utterly fantastic. Cohen is ridiculously good in this and I love the writing and pacing of the show. Fascinating show, 3 episodes in, can't wait to finish the last 3. The end of episode 3, in particular, is depressing and hit harder than I would have expected.
The Spy- Cohen is great as the lead but found the series a bit of a slog to get through.
Paradise Beach- location: Thailand...plot: a bunch of robbers get together, some with old scores to settle. 90 minutes of enough action and scantily clad Asian women to make it worth a watch.
Lavender- ghost story type movie but found it slow/boring.
Delirium- stars Topher Grace...about a guy under house arrest in his parents old mansion and suspects it may be haunted. Surprisingly decent thriller.
Rattlesnake- women's daughter gets bite by a rattlesnake and is saved by a mysterious woman but at what cost ? A liked this ...enough twists and turns to hold your interest.
End of the World- great coming of age, dark comedy series. Each episode is 20 minutes long so easily binge-able.
Assimilate- friends make a web series about their hometown and realize not everyone is what they seem. Invasion of the Body snatchers type remake. Worth a look.

I punted after Sue, Mel and Mary got the boot. Really really enjoyed the show up to that point though.

It's still pretty decent. The dude in there is pretty dorky, though. No idea how they decided he was a good fit.

American Son - the very delicate topic of racial injustice handled with the most asinine characters and dialogue. A very large “oof” for this sad play for emotions

Agree, I watched "The Accountant of Auschwitz" after it and it was also well done(and had some references to Demjanjuk)

Noel Fielding. Dorky/off-the-wall is his shtick. He has a bit part in the brilliant The IT Crowd which is also on Netflix.Sand said:
On a tangent from The IT Crowd, check out the "Big Fat Quiz of the Year" BBC shows on YouTube. Fielding and Richard Ayoade are a regular team on those.

I'm like 65 episodes in and I haven't hit the end of the first season. There's about 400 more episodes to go including the remainder of this season and the next 4 seasons. I'm not kidding. I might not watch anything else ever again. And I don't know why.Somehow I started in with the "Resurrection: Ertugrul" series. It's total Turkish state propaganda, the subtitles are atrocious, the pace is bad, much of the acting is laughable (like I find myself laughing at the performances and they're not intended as comedy), the characters are almost non-dimensional caricatures, the writing is both incredibly simplistic and improbable (even given that we know the title character can't die - at least until he fathers Osman - if any sort of historical integrity is to be maintained), the action sequences are straight out of Xena Warrior Princess, and there are all other kinds of issues. Yet I keep watching it to see what happens next.
Turkishballguys - for the initial run in Turkey, do they show 2 new episodes per week or something?
