TV: what have you been watching? - Page 55 - The Lounge Discussion and Review on Literature, Arts, Culture

I thought The OA alternated between laughably bad teen drama stories and fairly intriguing metaphysical mystery, but definitely done well enough to watch all the episodes. Then in the last episode I felt like the writers were just actively making fun of me for watching it.

Watched the first 4 eps of Atlanta on FX. Really good. Great characters, writing, acting. Gonna binge the rest over the weekend.

Atlanta just didn't click for me. I watched the first 3 or 4 and the rest sitting on my DvR but not likely I will ever watch them.

In the past few days I binged Luke Cage on Netflix. I really enjoyed it. I remember when Luke Cage comics started and he was always an interesting character plus I like pretty much anything Marvel. Netflix has really been killing it with their Marvel series'.

6 episodes into Berlin Station, and I had to force myself to turn it off last night. Spy games, mystery, politics. Slow, slow burn. It's what Homeland dreams it could be.

Give it another chance.
I don't think I got half the jokes, but I found it worth watching.

Went through season 2 of Ballers recently. It was okay. The Rock is pretty good in his role and his sidekick is really funny. The show is not great.

It's an epix series that I found on the interwebs.

Finished it off tonight. Well worth the 10 episode investment.

Just finished Archer season 6, waiting for season 7. Sucks they got rid of PHRASING. I would say more, but spoilers aren't fun.

I finally finished The Crown on Netflix which I found to be pretty much of a snooze. It was well done and well acted but I didn't find it very compelling.

Oh god... dudes.... I watched the first episode last night and I'm certainly intrigued.

I'm sure I'll get through it quickly enough since I've finished all my other series at the moment.

Designated Survivor http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5296406/

A mild mannered, low level Cabinet member is made President after a catastrophic attack on the USA wipes out the government.
This is an entertaining political thriller, certainly watchable but nothing outstanding.

I finished watching The OA and Berlin Station.

The OA: Ending was OK. Definitely leaves it open for a second season. Hopefully they delve more into the mystical other realm in season 2.

Berlin Station: Fantastic show. Loved the plot and acting was fantastic. I'm excited for the second season this year.

I will need to find a new series now. I'm watching The Mick just for giggles -- the first episode was alright but they ruined most of it with the previews. Hopefully it gets better as it progresses.

Always Sunny is also back on the air so I'm excited to see what's in store for season 12.

Just finished Sneaky Pete on Amazon prime. It was very good and very entertaining. I almost always find con-man stories good. I found it did have a few holes but it is a very interesting and well done ride.
