i farging love zoe kazan and ill give it a shot but the idea of that show does absolutely nothing for me....hes supposed to be doing some mlk thing that sounded much more interesting to me

david simon made the wire for you, show the man some respect and watch his next kind of ok show

[ice grillin you]

his shows by and large are very underwhelming...I think wire and treme are the only ones I've been able to finish not counting the mini series he did

[MDS]

show me a hero was legit great. i will ride for that.

everything else has been meh. his problem is he creates these worlds where there are 10000 characters and so many different things going on that you cant remember anyone or be bothered to care about anything. like the deuce had 2 characters you cared about and then 45 minutes of other things. not ideal.

this being a miniseries with source material it should be super focused and ill wager its great.

Tear Drinker was 5. My only gripe with the show is they show a scene which has nothing to do with what's happening then revisit later in the episode the scenes purpose. I don't mind that type of cinematography but when it's overused it gets confusing. Was about to comment aside from his popular movies I haven't seen much King adaptations but holy shtein I'm wrong...didn't know half of these were based off his work

totally agree with your first take....theres things where im like why did that just happen

i love the mystery aspect of it all tho

Epix has a new series based on War Of The Worlds.   Saw the premiere episode this morning.  Not bad at all.  I'm a Gabriel Byrne fan and he's the big name in it.  Good acting, suspenseful, etc. 

I'll give it a go.

Narcos Mexico season 2 - on par with the other Narcos seasons. Series always lives up to expectations

The Pharmacist - quick 4 episode series about pill mills. Not bad

The Clone Wars cartoon - watched an episode here and there but it's a cartoon so never invested time into the series. Watched from start to finish in prep for the final season and aside from the OT it's the best SW series out there. This is the actual story of Anakin turning into Vader you don't get with the prequels

Star Wars Rebels - not as good as clone wars but a solid series. Vader and Maul make appearances and the show wraps up some storylines

You season 2 - was out after the first one but decided to give season 2 a try. Was into it for a bit but it gets messy at the end and falls apart

Great Frontline tonight about Amazon.

We started watching Turn after knowing we would enjoy it for years and telling ourselves to watch it when it was actually on TV.

We're through Season 1 and it's very good. Just now realizing the main character is played by the same guy that played Billy Elliot.

Karl Fookin' Tanner as Major Hewlett is funny too
