How does James Franco still have a job. He hasn’t sold me on a performance since Pineapple Express.
I’m with @Seul
Damn it. Stitches failed. -
I think the Deuce is still going strong! Really enjoyed the second season.
I'm starting to fear the looming AIDS epidemic.
Yeah, AIDS, and the video format wars I guess. And probably a lot of drugs.
I really enjoyed season 2 also. Hot Ingrid, not so much. She felt it became too documentary and didn’t care enough about the characters or their development, but that side of Simon’s storytelling appeals to me.
The protracted demise of the pimps, the feminist politics and inevitable double standards and the redemption of Larry Brown all were all brilliant and the fact that it was all told with detachment was pleasing. That being said, the last episode was pleasantly sentimental (Darlene and Larry), and the future looks momentarily bright for some of the characters. I’m pretty sure Lori is going to get screwed in CA though (pun intended [emoji847]).

Just finished season 1 of 12 Monkeys and thought it was decent. Gonna have to try and find season 2 at the library and jump right into it so I don't forget what's going on

Vic and Bob's Big Night Out…they still have it after decades. An acquired taste that I developed over 20 years ago, and my 3 1/2 year old son is just starting to. He asks to watch the 'silly man program'.

Finished The Strain S3 last week and was a little underwhelmed with it. The kid is annoying.
Also finished 12 Monkeys S2 and thought it was ok. The time travel thing was getting repetitive but it was marginally better than The Strain.

Nightflyers on SYFY is worth a watch. Science fiction horror based on a George R.R. Martin novella.

Luther….oh yes

looks as though UK terrestrial TV has some great offerings this year. It's great to see that streaming and on-demand services don't necessarily have all the best shows

Season 3 of True Detective started on Sunday with a double episode premiere. Very pleased with the season so far, much more like season 1 than season 2.

Good to know. I just read an article that said critics gave it a favorable review, but that ratings were lower than season 2. Fwiw, I actually liked season 2 but am looking forward to season 3

Saw the first episode last night and it is very promising. Lower key and currently less weird than s.1 was after the first episode. More grim realism.
I love s.1 and I’ve seen it three times. but it wasn’t as amazing as a lot of people made out. The ending was underwritten and poorly conceived. Likewise, S.2 wasn’t as bad as everyone made out and the ending was heart wrenching.

Season 1 will be a near impossible act to follow. McConaughey and Harrelson were unreal. McConaughey won an Oscar that year and harrelso n couldnt have played that part better. That season haunts me.
“Wheeen the last light warms the rocks and rattlesnakes unfooooold.” Damn son!
But I am looking forward to this season

I detested Season 2 but loved Season 1.
A bit of a turn-off that Nic Pizzolatto famously plagiarized Thomas Ligotti (whose writing is an absolute ray of sunshine!). Would it have killed him to give Ligotti some credit? I don't get that, did he think he would get away with that?
I'll start Season 3 despite my misgivings, and am hopeful that the show gets back on track, minus the plagiarism.
