      Yeah, I enjoyed Season 1. All of these streaming shows suffer the same pacing issues, and I have a pretty low bar set for plot development.

      I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

        THE I.T. CROWD - don't even ask me why I've never watched it, I just don't know… I mean: written by Linehan (Black Books, Father Ted)... With Richard Ayoade...

        Twelve minutes into the first episode and I know I'm gonna enjoy this...

        Oooh, you have a fun time ahead of you!

            You finished s.1?! So much promise but so little plot development. Gave up three episodes from the end ‘cos it EAs doing my head in.

            Same. Suck, suck, and more suck

            Maybe so. Maybe not

              Punisher was far more watchable than Jessica Jones and The Iron Fist and I enjoyed it just as much–possibly more--than Luke Cage.

                I’m sure, but that’s a mighty low bar.  Its like a cavity filling being preferable to a root canal 🙂

                  So long as someone gets shot in the face or crushed by a falling piano once in awhile I’m pretty happy.

                  If I wanted to put more brainpower into things I’d read a book (I only read nonfiction) and learn something or get back to work and make $.

                  My job requires me to be creative and think most of my day, so getting out of my head for a bit is requisite.

                    Gotta compare apples to apples, right? No real point in comparing Netflix's Punisher to, say, The Night Of or The Americans.

                        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.

                        We just started TD s2 last night as it is reduced on Amazon Prime. I really like it a lot. I think I left enough time between s1 and s2 to not risk too much comparison.

                        They are clearly stand alone pieces, and in that sense are only comparable in the sense that Rocky and Copland are comparable…similar input, very different output!

                          Currently watching American Gods. I’m a Gaiman fan so it is sort of high stakes but I’m really impress so far. Bodes well for the tv version of Good Omens.

                            We stuck with about 5 episodes of s1. It got old a bit quickly for me. Ian McShane was the best thing in it. He's come a way since Lovejoy.

                                RUSSIAN DOLL is next... Been hearing good stuff... Might have to check MURDER MOUNTAIN first... And THE TED BUNDY TAPES... Killer stuff, I hear...

                                  i'm late to the Breaking Bad party but I finally finished season 2 a week ago. Good stuff.

                                  Is Better Call Saul any good?

                                    Ian McShane is good in everything he does. Can't wait to see him revive Swearingen in the Deadwood movie  😃

                                      And the movie is looking like it’s about two hours?
                                      I think so.

                                      Fuck that. Make it last six years.

                                        Very different in tone and content. It also starts «Meh» before developing nicely over the four seasons.
