Just discovered this little gem on Netflix, Kim's Convenience, from Canada:
Highly recommended, the acting is great all around and super funny! Season 1 and 2 are on Netflix and Season 3 starts airing on CBC in January.
You know a series is really good when the recap for last season makes you tear up. Alexa & Katie Season 2 is now on Netflix!
Anyone watch the Timeless finale/movie this week? Mike?
A NEW GAME BEGINS
I received Season 1 of The Handmaid's Tale for Christmas and just watched a couple of episodes the other night. I think it's done pretty well so far, but my only real complaint is the random 80's songs thrown in at the end of each episode. Am I the only one who feels like the tone is off for that?
I got the book for Christmas last year. Hoping to get to it this year. The series does look good.
A NEW GAME BEGINS
Ummm, yeah! Twice actually and I still have it on my DVR.
I just love that show so much and I'm having trouble letting it go. I enjoyed the finale, but it didn't have the same Timeless feel. I like when they have to go back in time and help a famous person from history. Regardless, it was fun to watch. I'm still holding out hope this show gets saved by another network or streaming service. I think it would be perfect for Hulu. I'm not bashing it, but is Timeless any more expensive to produce than Future Man?

Yeah, I'll miss it, too. Season 2 was a lot more enjoyable than Season 1, I thought (though I still would like some clarity on why Rittenhouse was trying to change history. Just so they could be more powerful and run...things?)
I also agree the wrap-up didn't have the same feel as the other episodes. I guess because they were in "wrapping up story threads" mode instead of just focusing on a single person or mission.

Trial and Error is canceled.

TV life isn't fair. Fuck network TV. First Timeless and now this. I can honestly say Trial and Error was one of the funniest shows on TV.
I think this show would be perfect for a network like TBS. They have a decent stable of comedies. Although I watch them all, Trial and Error is funnier than Wrecked, Angie Tribeca, Guest Book and People of Earth (which got cancelled).

I agree. That along with The Good Place are the funniest comedies I watch (and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, but that's on Netflix). Networks are constantly canceling good shows because of ratings, but they'll be the first ones scrambling when awards nominations are 100% shows on Netflix, cable, and other streaming services (and we're almost there).
A NEW GAME BEGINS
Netflix subscribers - what do y'all think about the service upping it's fee by $1 or $2?
It is a business, but networks act as if the frequent cutting and replacing programs can yield a line-up in which every program has the strength of Friends, Seinfeld, Cheers, etc., when that just isn't possible.
What's a network to do? Maintain lesser rated shows that have demonstrated non-rating signs of quality (critical response, fan devotion etc.) and build a stable of programs that pull eyeballs under their own power to some real extent, especially if you're hunting anything original, edgy, buzzworthy, etc., because such things often take time to grow.
I wouldn't say "fuck network TV" so much as I would say network TV is already fucking itself by doing these things.

"You" on Netflix. Overall a solid show about Joe, a stalker basically, and Beck, a woman who leaves all her online subscriptions public. Makes you think twice about what you share online.
