Always good to hear about sitcoms as we are exclusively drama fans/watchers with a few reality shows (Survivor, Amazing Race, Voice and Bach) mixed in. Thanks, jamny.

Those are actually my 2 least favorite on the list. I think People of Earth has fallen off a bit in the second season and Catastrophe can be a tough watch since it's hard to root for either of them at times, especially her.

tbh, I've only watched a bit of baskets (wasn't interested) and falling (same). I don't remember if we watched the second season of PoE yet.
but catastraphe I really like.. very smartly written and acted- going far enough with the humor (and I love the supporting cast and characters) in gut-punching ways to make it clearly not drama or melo-drama, even though given the subject (new family, relationship struggling to make it) it can easily veer that way. that makes it easier for for me to not worry about routing for either of them and just sit back and enjoy the situations and humor.

Is that Elisha Cuthbert? I wondered what she'd been doing.

Feels like it could end up being a Religious Cult like reasoning.
You have the
Religious Mom blaming her for the sisters sickness, the reference to 7 stab wounds, 7 punches, aka 7 sins...and of course, the title of the show, The Sinner.

Confirmed premiere dates for S2 for The Crown (Dec 8) and Victoria (Jan 14). We're nearly through with The Crown S1 and it's very moving. Some incredible performances. Pacing similar to Mad Men/Boardwalk Empire.
Now through the third ep of The Sinner. To my relief it may actually not involve supernatural forces (!). It's well-acted and tightly written but I think I can guess what happened. And whoever thought it would be a good idea to have Bill Pullman in the thrall of some matronly dominatrix needs to take a long walk off a short pier.
Going to try to blast through The Defenders this weekend.

Anyone here watching or have watched "Z: The Beginning Of Everything," which is about Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald (F. Scott's troubled wife)? I'm into S1E4 right now and it's been pretty good, though I already know that this isn't going to have a happy ending.
eta* It just got renewed for a surprise season two on Amazon

So a show i really wanted to like and had to bail on in the 1st season is The Strain. I am pretty sure it had a thread a bit, and there isn't a ton on now so i have been binging to catch up. And holy hell does this show suck. I mean like reaaallll bad.
The plot is pretty good, has enough action, and isn't totally predictable so there is opportunity there. But i have never watched anything and hated the Protagonist so much. I mean i hate this dude more then most of the guys you are supposed to hate on shows. Started with the rumors when the series started that i guess he is from ER or something and he made them change some things to get him more attention. But everything about this character and actor makes it so it is basically where i watch the show, and have to fast forward when he is on the screen.
Anybody watch this one? there was another show, and it had it to a much less degree, about a history teacher who was leading humankind against an alien invasion. i think it was the same idea with the main character wanting to be more of a presence on the show, and had to stop watching that one because of the main lead again.
this happen to anybody else? wondering if it is just me, or is this a trend? and how do shows not realize these mistakes (unless it is just me being a pissy dude)

If you don't like it, that's cool - plenty of options out there. I think it's great and "hip" & "me" don't even touch in a Venn diagram.

Just finished up "The Sinner"
What an intense Roller coaster ride... There are parts that were a little hard to watch
but overall the story, the drama and even the eventual pay off were all well done. Highly recommend it. 
Next up.... Even though the ratings haven't been very good, and the chances of it getting renewed to get a "conclusion" are not looking good... I've been enjoying "Salvation".
And can't leave this catch all thread without giving a BIG to The Last Ship..
Just when I think they've hit a spot where they should end the series before they ruin it, AKA Heroes, they throw in a new twist that grabs my attention and re-hooks me in again for another season.

I mentioned this somewhere last year in some long lost thread but I think many are missing out on Good Behavior
Really enjoyed last season and the 2nd season starts up October 15th

A lot of really???? moments, but thought the idea.. Asteroid, Trip to Mars, World War III almost began, Conspiracy inside the White house had it's moments to..
I thought Sinner kept you guessing all the way to the last two episodes exactly what happened and thought it was well done.. Except Jeff Bridge's Character... They didn't fully go into why he liked to be the "Slave" or why, or what he blamed himself for..
And The Last Ship is my idea of a great Summertime
movie, except you get to watch it each week!
