S5 was fine. S6 was epic and the finale was one of the top all timers to me. The parking garage scene in the finale is just fantastic. I loved how it ended. 

 

You know something, I did too--the writers did an excellent job in tying up some loose ends yet leaving us yearning for more (like a sequel series maybe?)...very well done!

The outcome of that garage scene was a big distraction to me (I think I literally yelled "that's crap!" at the screen).  All the reviews I read either ignored it or attempted to explain it away, and there's just no way.  Complete betrayal of who the character fundamentally is.

And I know why it ends where it does, it's just I don't know how you get there after a certain trigger was pulled.  Otherwise, sure the finale was great, but those two issues took a lot away for me.

 

lol, hopefully cryptic enough to make my point without spoiling anything

From S1:EP1 until the series finale it was an amazing show, and I am not typically into "dramas".

Finally finished 14 seasons of dumbass Grey's Anatomy. Show is so non believable. We watched parenthood awhile ago and I liked it. Started watching Suits recently.

HA. Yeah, I get ya and I just yelled about half through the scene saying no way. My read on it was some people ended up making it, but had to sacrifice and pay a price.

Big fan of suits.

I thought it was really good the first few seasons, but then fell off a good bit with the focus almost exclusively on office politics.  Hopefully the sort of mini reboot goes back to the roots of the show.

I wonder how the spin-off will do?  Looks interesting, anyway.

I'm all over the place and am in the middle of like six shows. Currently trying to catch up on The Path on Hulu. Still love it.

Just finished binge watching season 9 of The Office, and I not only forgot how well cast and well written it was, but also how excellent the finale was...damn that was a great show!!!

Finished The Americans. Loved the whole thing. The parking garage scene I have ZERO issues with. You just have to dig deep on the human aspect of a decades worth of friendship.

I have a small issue with the trigger and entry with no recourse and all that. But not too much. Overall, one of the best finales I’ve ever watched.

So I just finished the finale for The Americans. Easily a top 5 show I have ever seen. Not the finale specifically, but overall. The finale was great and definitely how it needed to end. I figured one of them would get scooped up on the train, didn’t expect what happened to happen.

Yes it was a great twist at the end. I wish they would have told if Renee was a Soviet spy or not. The out come of some of the characters isn't known. I think they left things with a golden opportunity to make a movie. I would look forward to it.

 

 

I think it was pretty obvious that Renee was a spy. Mainly based on her little smirk after Stan drove away.

I’ve watched Grey’s from the very beginning and still watch it every week. Yes, it’s very soap opera-y. I think they get rid of too many characters too quickly. But it has some good storylines.

There's a lot I want to see/catch-up on.  I'm starting to think maybe not start a series already a few seasons in to see how it wraps (i.e. not canceled prematurely).

1) Watched a few episodes of Barry on HBO.  I liked it, will watch a few more

2) Travelers

3) The Expanse

4) Black Mirror

5) Parks & Recreation

6) Always Sunny in Philadelphia

I just started Parks and Recreation. I'm not too entertained so far, but it's early. 

Amy Poehler is easily my least favorite part, so far.

Season 1 isn't very good. Other than that, it's my favorite comedy of all time.

Yeah season 1 isn't the best. But hopefully you stick with it. I love the show so hilarious.

Yeah, I'm going to keep watching it, but outside of Ron, I'm only partially into it, so far.
