Yes, it had a really strong finish. Looking forward to the next season.

It has a definite Breaking Bad vibe -- a guy who runs a crime scene cleaning business is forced to work for a crime lord, played by the guy who was Mr. Bates on Downton Abbey. I liked it a lot.Got Goliath.. should I get this too?

Yeah Kris. Watch it. It's really good. I enjoyed it.

I just started a Swedish series on Netflix called Occupied -- it's about Russian forces occupying Norway in the near future to force them to start oil production up again to supply the EU. Based on an idea from Jo Nesbo.

Based on reality, it sounds like
The exorcist show has started season 2, first episode was pretty good. I think this season may be better than the first.

I'm watching The goddamn Punisher. That construction site scene in E1 had me pumping my fist.
Welcome back, Frank.
I am so behind on TV it's not even funny. I think I've missed about 7 episodes of Gotham, 4 of The Blacklist, haven't even started The Exorcist S2, and only 2 eps. into Stranger Things S2.
A NEW GAME BEGINS
My buddy said best one yet for Netflix. I can’t wait to start.

When I get behind, that's when I'm able to tell who my true friends are. When I say friends, I mean TV shows. The ones I like the least are the ones that end up stacking up multiple episodes.
I'm looking at you Designated Survivor, which dealt with most edge-of-your-seat storyline this year - who broke the White House vase?!?

WRN: American Vandal. This Netflix series is absolutely genius. It's not just a great satire of their own documentary shows, it even looks at what happens when these documentaries become popular. It just makes it feel a little more grounded, even while the subject matter is fucking hysterical.

I started watching the Punisher tonight!
3 episodes in so far. Starting out a bit slow, but so far so good.
Construction site scene was *awesome*
Agreed. This was a brilliant show. Finished it in a couple days.
I just finished Alias Grace. I haven't heard many people talk about this one. I'm assuming it's the period piece aspect that is turning people off. I really enjoyed the show. It's a slow burn for sure, but the story is very layered. You really need to pay attention because you really don't know what is true and what is not. Like Handmaid's Tale, which is based on a book by the same author, Alias Grace deals with a lot of themes about women and how they are treated and perceived, especially by a male dominated society.
Sarah Gadon is the real standout here. She turns in easily one of the best performances of the year.

I finished it really quickly too. Don't often do that, actually, but I was really amazed by how great it was. Not just as a hilarious comedy, but as a show that really sucked you in and even delivered a couple of gut punches. A very well made satire.Agreed. This was a brilliant show. Finished it in a couple days.
Currently, I'm watching the Red Riding trilogy from 2009. A trilogy of TV films based on the quartet of books of the same name (yeah, they skipped the second one entirely), I've been meaning to watch this for a long time. Especially when I started reading the books last year. It's loosely based on real events, particularly when it focuses on the Yorkshire Ripper, but it's more focused on a fictionalised tale of police corruption. Very dark, very gritty and pure noir. Just this weekend, I finally finished reading them, and while they weren't without their faults, overall I really enjoyed them. So I was eager to watch the adaptation.
It's really interesting so far. Like the novels, each of the films has a different lead protagonist and set in a different year. They even allow for a bit of variation in style and look, as each film has a different director. I've watched the first two films, both really great. A pre-Spider-Man Andrew Garfield stars in the first one, and it might be the best performance of him I've seen yet. Something I particularly enjoy about the trilogy is that, while they make a few changes to the novels, they retain a lot of the darkness and grittiness, at least. There's a torture scene in the books that I was shocked to see on-screen.
(Although, I can understand why the trilogy was directly referenced in this SNL sketch. I'm of course ok with the strong Northern accents, but I'm pretty sure almost anyone outside of the UK is fucked without subtitles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPY-sCiRCeA)

The Punisher. Best Marvel show hands down. Yet.

Just started watching it a few days ago. Really enjoying it.
I can't remember if I'm the only person here that watches Search Party. Anyway, I enjoyed season 1. I loved how vapid and self involved the characters were. The show really nails millennials and what many people find infuriating about them. Season 2 has really upped the stakes and I'm enjoying it even more.
If Alfred Hitchcock made a TV show about insufferable, self involved millennials, it would be season 2 of Search Party.

Finished Dark and really enjoyed everything except the season finale. I'm still thinking through a few things but overall think it is a well done program.
Binged watched the hell out of Stranger Things over the weekend. Really, really enjoyable show, if a little too derivative at times. (Seriously, SK must be doubly flattered at all the references to his works)
Should be finished with it by week's end, looking to jump to Ozark.
I loved Ozark. I tell everyone I know about that one.
