What are you doing when Gotham is on that you're having so much fun? Mrs. Master getting kinky?

That and dunking on Jordan Schlansky.

I agree, along with just getting out and doing skits with people in general. He obviously didn't redo the show because he wanted to change things up. He just wanted to put in less work. There shouldn't be any monologue at all. Just focus on one good skit and one good guest, and that's it. But Conan Without Borders and anything with Conan and Jordan Schlansky interacting are highlights. Maybe they should get rid of Andy and just make Jordan the sidekick.

Watched the first 4 or 5 episodes of Sex Education.

Pretty solid comedy that makes me want to watch more. Considering I usually hate any shows based around a high school that's actually surprising.

Maybe because half the actors look 25.

It does feel pretty alternate universy with the messing around with what era the show is actually in. That seems to add to it as well.

I had to turn it off 10 minutes in because I couldn't understand a word anyone was saying.

i thought sex education got significantly less funny after ~4 episodes, but i really enjoyed it.

i'm 7 episodes into homecoming. i don't think it's all that great. this is one of the very rare cases where i seem to disagree with critics. there was never a question of me not finishing it given how short it is and that it's sam esmail, but it's just not particularly interesting, and it's kind of amazing that a 30 minute show can feel this slow. some of the directing flourishes are really slick and unique, but then some of them just seem super dumb. i paid a small fortune for my TV - i don't want to watch a show where 1/4 of every scene is blurry.

2 eps of Black Monday out. Don Cheadle. 1987 market crash comedy. Recommended.

Same feelings as @yeti for Homecoming. Wasn't good but couldn't not watch it. Don't get sucked in. Just give it a pass if you haven't started.

For me, it slightly edges out the wire as the greatest show of all time.
I have yet to find anyone who agrees, but i have Justified in third place.

Sopranos typically had 13 episodes per season btw.

I have Justified sixth behind BB, The Wire, The Shield, Mad Men and Sopranos.

Heisenberg would blow up the Big Bang set, and make it look like a faulty coffee maker malfunction.

Heisenberg would have Butthead murdered, and frame Beavis for it.

I can't think of any other BBs. Did Big Bird have a spin off?

Heisenberg poisoned the writers before the pilot aired.

Conversations with a Killer on netflix is fascinating. It's only 4 episodes. Went in not knowing anything about Ted Bundy. The whole thing was so surreal. So many wtf moments.

For those who enjoy shows like Mindhunter, Escape the Dannemora, Making a Murderer, OJ American Crime Story this is a must watch.

Justified may not be the very best, but it's my favorite

finished wayne. thought it was excellent. i dont know if im saying this how i want, but it had none of the bull**** that you see from alot of recent stuff. didnt go after the lowest common denominator crowd like marvel and their focus groups, no politics, except the white privilege line, fu youtube. nothing felt preachy. it was only about the story. and there was only one episode that felt like filler. great pace, easy to watch. good characters that you cared about. not sure if id watch again but 9/10. ty

i liked season 1 ok. but season 2 is hard to get through. i'm about halfway through so far, but it's a struggle.

sex education

i think some people were complaining that it's not funny? it's not really a comedy. it's more a drama than a comedy. the second to last episode was the best episode of the season imo.

Two episodes through S1, and I'm liking it, but I'm afraid that it's gonna be like so much other Netflix stuff that's stretched into about twice as many episodes as it should be.

Trailer looks really bad. Is the show quite a bit different?
