It's got a good cast, but I didn't make it through the first episode.I can’t believe you even watched it

Yeah, I was about to stop watching until we got to the chimp and the dog. I finished the season and ended up enjoying it quite a bit.
It's definitely not very funny, and I assume many are just going to hate it because of that. It seems a show without a purpose that doesn't know what it is. It comes off as a farce (though I'd say it's not), and most won't stand for a farce that's not funny.
Despite that, I think there's something here. The characters are great. Captain Ali is really the heart of the show, and I'll keep watching just to see what happens to her. Mallory and Chan are both great. And I even preferred this slightly toned down version of Jean-Ralphio in F. Tony.
The foundation is there, and I could see the show really finding it's footing and turning in a stellar 2nd season.

Were three in, and it has some funny bits (carrel's assistant has moments). but if it's not truly a farce as Pollard writes above..and as it's set up to be after three episodes...its missing the mark.
So far there's enough to keep going for us

watching Veep this weekend, wife says "you know this is just The Office in the White House, right?"
maybe. probably not. Veep is at least funny.

What’s the consensus on homecoming? Watching episode one, seems kinda boring, is it worth watching? Or should I just tell the wife to watch it when I go to bed

I've taken the "House of Cards" plunge.
Almost finished S1 I't's good but hasn't lived up to the hype.
When did "Smoking" become part the rating system warnings?

my wife said on Saturday "you know how you hate that i used to watch soaps? you know this is just a soap on Netflix, right?"and i guess i knew that without realizing, but her comment just crystallized that thought for me.
we've noticed that, too. it's on every freaking Netflix show we watch.

Season 1? I liked it... kindof slow out of the gate, but there are some interesting plot lines and twists. Season 2 I haven't started yet.

Thank all you guys for the Kim's Convenience rec. It's so awesome. One of the best new (to me) comedies I've seen in a long time.

Season Two also gets aI started watching The History Chanel series Alone on Prime. Almost through season one and it's a pretty great show. I know there was a thread at FBG about it a while back but I never watched it live, much easier to binge. Love the survival aspect of course but the transformation and introspection you see from the "contestants" is pretty amazing. Highly recommend season one(other seasons TBD).

finally got around to watching S3 of Ozark.
the bipolar plot device grated on me, even if there were elements of the character that were handled well (notably- I'm doing fine, I don't need meds... and even when ranting, it was still him ranting the truth... just at forced plot-driving irrational moments). I found myself mostly frustrated watching this- even though I liked the rest. the writing was one moment spot on, and the next... three's company misunderstandings and things not said that would void entire story arcs.

Yeah, started this last night. Tough to watch. Maxwell also needs to be left alone in a prison cell.A couple episodes into Filthy Rich (Netflix). Jeffrey Epstein story.Classic story of someone that thinks they are above the law, and for a long time was.
Again, only a couple episodes in:
Basically setup an underage sex pyramid scheme with girls recruiting other girls. Epstein had experience with financial pyramid schemes and was a talented con man and manipulator. Hard to believe Ghislaine Maxwell wasn't also in jail.

My family just finished watching the first season of "Into the Night". Really enjoyed it. Not the best acting, not the best production value - just an interesting story.
I'm sure this has been covered in this thread, but I am very concerned that an eventual season 2 won't be as interesting. If it follows the book the story comes from, the story will take a very weird turn and turn into something far less interesting to me. That said, I do recommend Into the Night as an easy and entertaining six episodes.

it's strange. there's a lot that works- great acting in particular, and some decent characters. but then there's 6 episodes of... just take your meds. somebody wanna chime in- take your meds. or- this can't work...the cartel will kill you/me/us if you do x/y/z- but I won't bother saying that, so we can milk another few episodes or plot out of the silence. and yet... it's still worth watching for me. and while the Ben bipolar plot device was annoying to me... the actor killed it. and the writers did a great job writing the illness in the abstract... other than the obvious moments where it was thrown in to screw with plans.

It seems to me like most shows/movies now rely on huge plot holes to move things along. Unfortunately I'm one of the people that struggle with this and it often times gets in the way of my enjoyment of the work. Netflix is horrible with this. An example is when a writer tries to add mystery or tries to throw the audience off. One partner points out to the other a legitimate reason (or three) why the antagonist should be considered as a suspect the the 2nd partner is like, "no way, they've killed five people already. No way they could have six, seven, & eight in em. Let's go question the blind church librarian over in the next county."

My scope is limited as I rarely read reviews. I'm just gauging from word of mouth and this board. People tell me how amazing it is and I'm like meh. It's Sons of Anarchy territory for me.

I watched it and ended up fast forwarding a bit to get through it just to see what happens. I didn’t like it at all. Didn’t care about the pace or language, just felt like I didn’t care what happened. GF looked great in lingerie but that’s about it.

I like the Amazon Prime show "Upload", but it's taking forever to get to where it's going. It telegraphs every punch that's coming. Cast is really good though. They also make what's a pretty ludicrous idea seem plausible. Closing in on the end of season one, and really hoping they wrap this up...but I get the bad feeling it's going to set up a very unsatisfying cliffhanger.

It’s ok. The concept was fairly cool but I feel like the acting and production was subpar, probably not something I’d watch if I wasn’t stuck in quarantineStatorama said:
