Narcos is unreal. The ending doesn't disappoint.

You could pick back up on FTWD without watching season 1 and not miss a beat. I think the writers figured out nobody cares about a dysfunctional family and the beginning of the outbreak and started focusing on TWD formula.

Rome

I watched the pilot for Fear The Walking Morons.  It was the worst piece of shtein ever.  If you root for every character to die after one episode, there's really no point in staying for #2. 

I haven't watched any of the new Robots other than S2 1 & 2.  I was so disappointed in them I just couldn't keep going.  I have 7 episodes in the queue, though.  I was kinda hoping someone would watch it and something great would happen to draw me back in.  I heard about a twist so I'll binge watch them when I get the chance.

I thought season 1 of Fear of the Walking Dead was abysmal, I don't think I finished the season. Last night I was doing some laundry, so I decided to give season 2 a shot. I must say, I was presently surprised. Follows more along the lines of TWD then it does the crap they put out there last season.

Also anyone still watching Mr. Robot? I gave up on it about a month ago, but my brother told me there was a huge twist and it's worth watching it for the payoff.
My plan was to watch the first 3 eps of S2 and bail if it was anything like S1. It's definitely much better so far.  I like that they've split the group up already. Apparently, that family is much more likeable when they aren't all together.

I still say that focusing on the outbreak could have been a really good show, but they farged up and not only rushed through it, but showed it from the wrong perspective. That 3 or 4 week period that Rick was in a coma should have made up the entire first season and it should have featured govt/military reaction. 

Whatever though. It's decent fodder now to entertain me until the og cones back next month.

I will say that mr robot did get better after the first two episodes.

Yeah I agree that FTWD should have focused more on the outbreak and downfall of society, instead of just rushing through it.

Season 2, has been pretty okay. It has a different vibe than TWD which is cool, but yeah no character you can really latch on to. Nick is okay I suppose. Killing off the one character that I won't name for spoilery reasons was a bad idea iMO

perhaps you could explain sd's reasons for "disliking" it as well since you seem to be so in tune with other peoples minds

Rome

They should have focused on casting better actors and writing better scripts because both were horrendous. 

My wife and daughter gave up half way thru.  I watched a few minutes of the premiere of S2 and it was about the little jackoff with the Pearl Jam haircut.  I thought they would kill his ass off but nope.

bokeem woodbine was unreal in fargo but i cant complain about sterling k brown winning

plus his speech was insane
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.
