The period settings are cool, and it is fun, but it's very much a procedural at its roots. It could do a lot more with its plot, but it seems content to hang out where it is.Quote:

Amen to that.Quote:

Collateral is EXCELLENT -- only four episodes, but extremely well done.Quote:

If you have the DirecTV Audience network (home of Mr. Mercedes), one of my favorite shows is coming back March 20. This is such a good show and if it was on Netflix or something, it would be huge. The acting is great and it's really touching and hilarious:

I still have to find Mr. Mercedes somewhere. It's a shame shows have to be held hostage by DirectTV. I'm not sure about that business plan, but I suppose Netflix is doing the same thing. Although, the difference is we can now watch Netflix on other platforms.
I'd love to see stats on some of their original shows to see if people are watching. I've never even heard of You Me Her and it's in its third season.
I'm loving Channel Zero!
They do have some sort of a streaming package deal, like HBO Go, I believe. And You Me Her is pretty brilliant and I hope it goes on for a few more seasons. I caught an episode just randomly flipping channels and then binged the first season on-demand. The second season was even better. Can’t wait till the 20th!Quote:

If they don't release Mr. Mercedes on DVD, I'm going to flip out.Quote:

This makes me so happy. This is one of those under the radar gems on Netflix. Such a beautiful series. There was a really nice piece written just recently about it: http://variety.com/2018/tv/columns/o...ee-1202729267/
Cannot wait! :excited:
If you need more prompting, check this out. These three are just so cute together:Quote:

Mae, you're going to hate me, but my mom made me watch an episode of One Day at a Time (the one where the mother and son go to the movies and they sneak stuff in) and I was actually pretty annoyed by the show. The daughter was especially annoying. I thought she was a little over the top with her acting. The whole show in general just seemed cheesy. I know that's part of it, but it just wasn't my thing.
Well, it’s certainly a classic sitcom in that sense. But it deals with so many issues, important stuff of today like veterans, mental health, immigration, queer issues, and just regular old boring family stuff. The end of the first season made me cry a river of tears during the daughter’s official coming out. And it’s been an emotional series throughout. But yes, with lots of silly sitcomey premises. Still, it’s such a easy watch, and with a great message of love and acceptance.
I felt the story was all over the place and I didn't like one single character, or the story line either. I don't even remember the ending.Quote:

It was decent. It has a Leftovers vibe.Quote:
