I disagree I thought S1 gets pretty slow in the middle with some 1 off type episodes. I feel like S2 is where the full season plots really come into play
I’d keep going

Yeah, season 2 is the best one and season 3 is really good. Stays good but there’s a dip in the last couple seasons. Season 2 is up there among my favorite seasons of any show.

It does. You're right at the spot where the show figured out what it wanted/needed to be. Season 2 to the end is very very good tv. Beer 30 is right, there are a couple of series-long arcs and each season has a good arc as well. If you aren't all-in by the end of season 2 it isn't for you, but I'd bet dollars to donuts you will be.
Yeah I gave up on justified season 1. Sounds like I need to startup again.

Finally watching the new season of Mandalorian. Saw some comments on it especially the episode with Jack Black. I guess I'm in the minority but I thought it was a really good episode. I'm really enjoying this season and the story it's putting together.

I discovered Mr Robot this week.
I've been waiting for people in here to discuss it as the online reviews were not kind.
I just watched Treason on Netflix - 5 episode series - wasn't too bad for a typical spy thriller type show, and pretty easy watching.

Just finished the Diplomat on Netflix.. First two episodes didn't really grab me.. But that all changed with episode 3.. Many, many great moments and Loved the interaction with the President.
Now to wait for season 2 to see who all won't be returning thanks to the ending.

Wife and I are enjoying this so far; about halfway through. The Kamala Harris PR team probably isn’t a huge fan though.Just finished the Diplomat on Netflix..

I enjoyed the season a lot, but thought the Black episode was super dumb (and I generally really like Jack Black).

Man, Lucky Hank is good, but the back half of the season turns pretty dark and awful melancholy. I think the show is starting to depress me, even though I objectively think it's good.

I'm through three episodes. It's pretty decent, mindless fun.

Overall I really enjoyed Justified. Dewey Crowe is an all time favorite character. I don't remember what season it was, maybe 2 or 3, it started off and I couldn't figure out if the series was trying to be equal parts drama and comedy because it was just throwing in some odd bits of humor that just didn't fit what I had seen up to that point, but it eventually balanced itself out and glad I watched all the way through.

I started down the road when Justified first came out then got sidetracked around season 4. I'm on season 5 now and am really dreading when I run out of shows soon. Love me some Raylan Givens and the constant ****storm revolving around him.

American Manhunt: The Boston Marathon Bombing - Netflix
Really solid documentary. I remembered a lot of the story but had forgotten some details. I had no idea the gun fight that had taken place in Watertown MA was so intense, and I didn't realize it was so soon after the murder of the MIT police officer. Also don't think I knew "black hat" had been run over by his own brother. I remember the story of the young man in the Mercedes being car carjacked and kidnapped but the details he shared and hearing him tell the events was great storytelling. Lots of other good details presented on how local police and the feds differed on releasing the bombers photos.
The production of this program was similar to the recent Waco documentary.
It held my attention for all three episodes. I don't think I moved from my seat once the entire time.

I'll definitely watch this. The Walhberg movie was pretty on point with the events for the most part, will be interesting to see the actual documentary
My wife and I both really enjoyed it - thought it was fairly well done.

Glad you enjoyed it. I thought the writing was weak and it was way more Boba Fett than Andor. Which is fine. They have to try and appeal to a wide cross section of the population with these shows, and kids especially. I just didn't really care about any of it. But it is Star Wars, so i watch it no matter what.

Good Night Oppy on Prime was damn brilliant. Such a well made doc.

Anyone else ever watch The Last Ship? It was originally on TNT from 2014-2018, now available on Hulu and HBO Max. Essentially an end of the world pandemic show before the actual real life pandemic. Focuses on a Naval ship trying to develop a vaccine with a ton of action. Even my wife enjoys it and will watch multiple episodes in a row. I had never heard of it, but it’s really entertaining.

Silo on Apple TV is an adaptation of the book Wool which is a very well regarded (by FBGs anyway) first book of the silo sci fi book trilogy. Premieres today!

The dueling diarrhea episode of Somebody Somewhere was pretty fantastic. That last scene had me rolling on the floor.

Been wanting to see this and went looking for it. FYI, it's on Prime, not Netflix. The Just Watch app is great

No prob. The comment wasn't a rebuke. I think most of us can relate. It was more of a PSA for those who might want to see it.

I discovered Mr Robot this week.
I can't believe I never heard of this show before 2 weeks ago. The first 2 seasons were fantastic. It dragged a bit at times in seasons 3 and 4. I just finished s4e9 and feel like the last 4 (silent episode, Vera episode, Dom's revenge episode, and the hacking of Deus Group episode) rank up there with any 4 episode stretch of any tv show I have ever seen. If the series ended right now I would be satisfied, I can't believe there are still 4 to go.
There have been some outstanding individual performances from the supporting cast (especially Vera and Price) and Remi has probably put up a dozen episodes worthy of an Emmy. The soundtrack/mixing, cinematography/editing, and techie hacking **** have all been A+ too.
I am sure recency bias is in full effect but assuming they stick the landing over the last 4 episodes Mr Robot is going to end up as one of my favorite series.

This explains it. After telling my wife last night that "this guy from the internet whose opinion I trust" recommended this doc, we spent literally like 10 minutes on Netflix looking for it and she wanted to kill me when we couldn't find it and I wanted to re-scroll through all of the documentaries on the service. I didn't remember the exact title so I couldn't do a name search for it (and, I had had a couple of glasses of wine, so I as irrationally insisting I'd know the doc when I saw it scrolling).
Will now check Prime!
