The TV thread

Absolutely. It's a great show, and I hope NBC can keep it going for a couple more seasons.

 

Not exactly sure Felicity Huffman really wanted her return to the screen to be the lead detective of the Central Park 5 to help rehabilitate her public image. But she is good in the role.

 

Who wants to break the news to him?

 

Finished Chernobyl. What a powerful piece of work.

Next up is the Central Park 5 series. Probably gonna need a palate cleanser in between that and Chernobyl.

Sad to see Good Place going away, as I just discovered it in the last year. But also something to be said for knowing storyline limits.

It’s harder to leave them wanting more than it is to stretch something out.

 

Just read about the final season last night

 

Vida anyone?

 

Call me not surprised that Bobby Axelrod and Wendy Rhoades end the season of "Billions" on the verge of a hookup.

 

Spoiler tags, my dude.

 

The Netflix continuation of Designated Survivor is better - adding Anthony Edwards will do that for you - but even more interesting is that they intercut interviews with real people about what matters to them in every episode - it's quite effective, probably because the doc producers were asking about issues and not asking people to be on a tv show.

 

Been binging Barry — what an interesting show. While season 2 is super good (we are 4 episodes in) I would have ended after the near perfect season 1 finale.

 

Yes. Those interviews were a really nice touch. Very clever to do it that way,
I had read it was not being renewed early this spring-should have doubled checked the dates on that google search-so I was pleasantly surprised when it popped up on Netflix. I realized when the f word started flying that it must be a Netflix production. Loved a lot of the timely topics. Also, sad to lose that character. I think they also said that the campaign head was a member of an agnostic group. I don't think I have heard that on a show before.

 

The season 2 finale is on par with it. It's really a tremendous show. And I love the reviews that describe NoHo Hank as the sunniest of Chechen mobsters.
