I think seasons 1 and 4 were great. Seasons 2 and 3 were okay, and certainly better than anything after 4, but I just wasn't into Lila and Miguel as villains as much. Has to be one of the most disappointing plummets to the end, however. It's kind of amazing they kept it going to 8 after how shaky it got after 4.

1-4 were amazing television... especially 4. After that masterpiece of a season everything else felt like I was watching a crappy episode of Law and Order from a different point of view. And they couldn't make me care about the characters... and I hated Deb from season 1.

New/last season of clones wars was top-notch. The last 4 episodes/movie was the outstanding prequel we were denied.

Yep...The sister was annoying af. Season 4 was fantastic. I threw in the towel after Season 5.

Someone whose opinion I trust recommended “How To Fix A Drug Scandal” on Netflix. Just came out last week. I think it’s four parts and apparently quite bingeworthy.

excellent documentary

Binged “Normal People” on Hulu this weekend. 12 episodes but 30 min each so manageable.

FANTASTIC from both the cinematography to the performances to the pacing. Focuses on the on again/off again relationship ups and downs of an Irish couple from the end of senior year of HS through college graduation. Incredible character development and “realness” and never seems forced or jumpy despite the years passing in relatively short amounts of screen time.

Only con is that it’s not a particularly uplifting watch. It’s so real and honest that it’s not super feel good and the bleak overcast backdrop of Ireland weather doesn’t exactly help.

I got a good laugh when I realized that the same actress had a cameo in the movie White Chicks

Really enjoyed Dead To Me season 1. Not loving this one as much. A lot of stupid.

Just finishing Season 2 - I thought it was better than Season 1.

My wife and I finished watching it last night. I thought the second half of the season was much better than the first. She agreed with you and loved the entire season.

All in all, glad I watched it.

Anybody watching the new Amazon series Upload? We're almost finished.

It's .. interesting, but it seems like it was written by high school level talent.

I could see a season 2 being far better with a better crew.

Anyone ever watch Bosch and is it worth the watch?

Big fan of Matthew Lillard, think he’s a criminally underrated actor and I know he’s in it.

I thought the scene with James Marsden dancing in the pew is one of the funniest I have seen this year.

Best police drama on TV. It’s feel kinda reminds me of NYPD Blue back in the 90s.

I really liked the concept but the story has been lacking a bit. agree with your writer take.
