Glad to see a third rec on Catastrophe. Leaving on a trip on Sunday, and will plan to watch this while I'm gone. Does Amazon allow downloading like Netflix does?

Ya I was confused by the sepinwall hate for Ozark. Decided to watch when he complained about the premise which I thought sounded entertaining. It's not outstanding but definitely worth viewing this time of year.

There's a black mirror thread also. Great show but really gives me the creeps. New eps in October which are supposed to be the darkest yet.

I hate how all the comedian specials now have to have some kind of unfunny shtick for the first 5 or 10 minutes before they get to the standup.

Through first 2 episodes of Ozark. Pretty good so far with some Breaking Bad-like qualities.

Really enjoyed Ari Shaffirs Double Negative stand up. He's a smart, funny dude with great timing.

I just realised I have seen Catastrophe and quite enjoyed it, for some reason the name didn't click. Started watching The Handmaid's Tale and it's pretty hard to not binge it, very very good!

Watched Ozark this week and really enjoyed it. Very well done and easy to stay interested in. Sure there is lots of manufactured drama and situations that seem very far fetched but that is what any show is nowadays. Just suspend belief and it is a very fun ride.

Will definitely watch the next season if there is one.

Like I said suspend your logic but this little twist was really WTF

Two episodes into 13 Reasons Why and it's a terrible high school soap opera. Does it get better?

I've heard a few people say that the beginning is horrible, but the last few episodes are actually quite good.

Ozark is awesome. Bateman really does have that relaxed smart ass dickhole vibe cornered.

Writing of Ozark was definitely . I feel it is s like house of cards. Decent overall and easy to binge but super far from goat tv.

Really into Scam City currently. Guy travels the globe with hidden cameras to show how tourists get fleeced (and possibly harmed) and really digging into it. Very eye-opening and informative. Scary stuff out there.

I would disagree and almost argue the reverse. I only stuck it out because I was hoping there might be some interesting big reveal, but nope, just craps out in the most predictable way one would think from reading 1 sentence about the show. I recommend abandoning.
