It felt forced.  Almost like they got picked up for Season Three and needed to foreshadow it….

I liked it. Felt good to get outside of the upside down for once.

This is pretty much how I felt, though I didn't think about the possibility of it being a spin off rather than the story line for season 3.

This pilot on Amazon Prime was absolutely hysterical.

This one was good too.

Thought SMILF was excellent
I'm a huge Frankie Shaw fan now (loved her in Mr Robot too)
RO'D was great as well

Jumped into Defenders over the weekend. I like seeing Daredevil/Jessica Jones/Luke Cage back in action. I enjoyed seeing Luke Cage beat Iron Fists ass lol. Want to get through this and get ready for The Punisher on Friday! Netflix just dropping that out of nowhere.

Anyone get into Dark? Finished it up last night. Thought it was a wild sci-fi ride, while at times insanely confusing to keep track of.

Also finished The Punisher which might be the bloodiest TV show of the year…. I'm assuming it has to be bloodier than TWD…. There's just….. so much blood.

I enjoyed Fleabag and what I've seen of SMILF

I can't take TWD anymore…I just am not interested in the whole concept

but the Punisher has been awesome, that dude does some damage
I really am impressed how much character development is done instead of 50 mins of blood and fights
most episodes it only seems like at the most there are 10 mins of bloody scenes
Love Amber Rose Revah as Madani
this is a good read

SMILF is great, but only got the first episode for free and don't have showtime
I thought fleabag was fantastic too

I've not dug into Mr Robot yet, but there is some high anticipation from me on that

I clocked out of TWD in like season 3 or 4. Honestly don't know how that is the most watched/popular show on TV.

I thought Punisher was great, probably my favorite since Daredevil. Went back to season 2 and remember how good Punisher was in that as well. I enjoyed the ending as well. Felt like a nice way to end at least this season. What more could they have for him? Wouldn't mind if it just stayed as 1 season.

The Israeli series Fauda (on Netflix) is very good. Homeland-ish storyline, but thankfully lacking Clare Danes overacting.

I've enjoyed the first few episodes of shut eye.
The female actors are fantastic (and dare I say hot)

I had hope for Black Mirror. Seems like more of season 3. Only watched the first 2 episodes though. Do they get any better?

I am so late to every,thing. I just started watching Girls. It's a hard to watch show already, and I get the utter appeal of it, already. Like how I felt when I first recently saw the movie Mean Girls with Lindsay Lohan. We will see how much of Lena Dunham I can take. But I am interested to see what Adam Driver does in it. I also am about to watch the first season of Amazon's Long Strange Trip. And some show I have only heard about called Orphan Black. I hope it is good. Will find out tonight. Supposed to get ice here in the Valley tonight, so tv and popcorn movie night at home is in order.

Love Orphan Black.

The only reasons to watch Girls are Adam Driver and Soshanna.

Girls is a good show. Old man Ray is a trip. And Elijah steals every scene. Adam Driver is crazy good. It is amazing that he is the face of the dark side in Star Wars. There are some episodes that could have been cut, but overall a good show.
