Basketball and I are just very good friends.
Funny you compare Lost to Manifest because the reason I refuse to get sucked into Manifest is I thought it would be like Lost: never explained mystery that just pisses you off after nothing really happens.
I've managed to stay relatively un-spoiled on lost, aside from hearing that ending wasn't satisfying. Maybe I'll pick it back up. Honestly, I'd probably have to restart from the beginning.
Finished watching S3 of Man in the High Castle for the second time. Had to watch it again since I felt extremely underwhelmed the first time. At least I picked up on a few things I missed the first time through, but I can easily say I was disappointed.
Currently watching Atypical S2 on Netflix. Fantastic show that I'm shocked doesn't get more buzz. Also the new OITNB season. After a few down years, I'm enjoying S6 more.Recently watched Jack Ryan. John Krasinski is so freaking good. I'm amazed the MCU hasn't yet thrown a pile of money at him to play something (Reed Richards?). Also, GLOW is really good. Very much looking forward to Daredevil S3 this week.
I'm 2 1/2 episodes into S3, and I told my wife last night that i was thinking of bailing. This helps confirm that feeling.
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny. Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.
I watched three (3) episodes on one of my flights this summer and I did enjoy.
That's what she (chick) said. Boom
Blasphemy. LOST INVENTED modern television. The whole idea of the online episode recaps: LOST. The mystery premise (like Manifest today): LOST. The broad, diverse casts: LOST. Sci-Fi on the major networks: LOST. The "you have to watch it for the water-cooler and online talk": LOST. No other show has ever captivated viewers with recurring "mysteries" and compelling characters like LOST did, until maybe Game of Thrones.Sure, seasons 4-6 weren't so great, but seasons 1-3 are probably my favorite television series.

Lost was water cooler talk? Huh.
Hey... Boston Store and Bennigans had water coolers, too.
Even though S2 suffered from losing Spotnitz (showrunner) halfway through, between Stephen Root's appearance and Julia's "defection" early on, there was enough of a hook, and just enough twists throughout, to keep audiences engaged through to the climatic Volkshalle scene in E10.I don't want to spoil anything, but I felt that E10 this time around was very anti-climatic, and the whole season was just too predictable... in fact, I felt like all of the major plot twists were already revealed in the various trailers [travelers, an early machination of Rick's portal gun, someone's alive, someone's dead, J Edgar Hoover is right at home being a Nazi, etc.] I won't go so far as to say they've jumped the shark, but it definitely felt contrived to the point where you immediately say to yourself, "I could have come up with something better than that" and then you go back and watch it again just to make sure that you're right.That said, I think a lot of people were turned off from the first two seasons because they found themselves (and felt guilty about) sympathizing with certain Nazi characters... the good news is that there's none of that in S3; the Nazis - all of them - are clearly the villains again.Unfortunately, S3 just strikes me as a setup for S4 in that it doesn't stand on its own like the first two seasons do... I was really hoping for more development on the Smith character (e.g. what happened to him in Cincinnati, how did he transition from Army to SS, how did he gain the confidence of Berlin, what happened to his American ideals, just how much does his family know about his job, etc.) Unfortunately, all of that is probably revealed in S4, which makes S3 a necessary evil.
I watched The Good Place earlier this year, and it's one of my favorite network sitcoms ever. By the time I started watching, the first two seasons had already been broadcast but I was unspoiled. I really, really enjoyed it and got my family hooked as well. It's an easy binge show because there are only two past seasons, and only 13 half-hour episodes per season. So, you can blow through 5 episodes in a couple hours.I'm still not entirely sold on S3.
Anyone watch Narcos?
