I tried to get into Deadly Class..but couldn't. The 1987 throwback is cool, but I think the problem is that pretty much all of the characters are unlikable. And all they're is learning to kill other people, when they're not trying to kill one another. idk just was kind of a chore to watch imo and I gave up ep3. Too bad, would love a 1-2 punch of The Magicians (which I do like) and another SyFy show.

Fair enough. For me, Saya is very likeable, Willie is likeable, and Marcus, Maria, Billy, and Petra are fine. You're right about the "just learning" part for now, but it's only been a few eps, and they're developing the villain, as well as expanding the world, and they have the blueprint of a critically acclaimed graphic novel, so I have hope that it'll go somewhere decent. Not trying to convince you, just commenting.

It gets similar ratings to The Magicians, which I haven't started yet but might now. I assume you recommend it?

hard to say, it's not for everyone. if u like adult fantasy/sci-fi stuff then maybe. It's weirdddd, so just know that going in. I think the show has gotten better each season (S4 is airing now) so if ur not sure at first maybe stick with it until at least early S2.

Just finished Sharp Objects. Took a break from it bc it was moving so slow and some of the stuff just gave me a sick feeling. Came back Bc I had to know what happened and the ending really delivered. Idk if I can really give it a whole hearted recommendation, I’d imagine this isn’t for some people. If you start it just see it through to the end it’ll be worth it.

OMG it is awesome. New (probably last) season in April. Enjoy!!!!

Took me until ep 3 to get into it. If it hadn't been so acclaimed I doubt I would have gotten past the first two.

Is Russian Doll not just a blatant Happy Death Day rip off?

Russion Doll is very derivative, but I really enjoyed it, well written and executed. I watched the whole season in one sitting, and I haven't binge-watched anything in ages.

Yeah, I thought it was very well done overall. Natasha Lyonne is fantastic, great little show.

Finished YOU. It's average but good at making you want to keep watching. Some dumb decisions and annoying parts. Watch if you're bored and have nothing else to do.

Heard the girl from Russian Doll was from Orange Is The New Black and began watching that.

****, I am so far behind on good TV. Just finished season 2 and it is so, so good.
