The TV thread

Anyone else watching Billions on Showtime with Paul Giamatti as a US attorney trying to bring down a hedge fund guy for whom his psychiatrist wife (and dominatrix at home) works as a resident job performance coach? It's kind of vulgar and tawdry, but fun. I should also mention the No. 2 guy in the hedge fund is very open about his need for ATM.

 

I've seen the pilot and have it set to DVR. I'd like to catch up this weekend. I liked the first episode. Pretty tremendous opening scene.

 

Better Call Saul Season 1 finally dropped on Netflix!

 

Just in time to binge watch ahead of season two, which premiers on the 15th, I think.

 

I watched the first season on Netflix through a browser that made it seem I was in Great Britain. It was released there either when the show premiered or when the season was over. It might be the same for the second season.

 

Is there a worse hour of television than NBC's "Superstore" and "Telenovela"? I've tried to sit through these a few times and it's just torture.

 

They both seem like shows sketched out on a cocktail napkin. Sketch is actually a decent description, one-note at best.

 

Haven't watched, but every time I see an ad for "Superstore," I get happy flashbacks thinking of the Buy More in the awesome 2008-2012 NBC action dramedy "Chuck."

 

Hooked on entourage.
Holy shit, do I love this show!

 

It deteriorates rapidly.

 

What? Damn.
I'm through Season 4 or 5. They returned from Cannes.

 

Yes! Loved the early seasons of Chuck.

Correct. First few seasons were great, then it was rapidly downhill.
