I have changed my mind on You. This show is terrible lol

Just finished this last night, not sure what I think. It was good, but then just got completely ridiculous. I'll probably watch if there is another season but wtf.

I'm most of the way through Dark on Netflix. I love it as it is like Stranger Things meets Lost/ Twin Peaks/ Back to the Future. 

I'm also mostly enjoying True Detective. It is way better than Season 2, but not as good as Season 1. Still, it is a pretty good watch. 

I also love Counterpart on Starz.  It is a pretty freaking cool sci-fi spy thriller.

Dark is one of my favorite shows ever. I cannot wait for S2. 

TD S3 is great so far. Can’t wait to watch last night’s episodes.

Seasonal for me. I watch a lot in the winter. Also, just recently discovered the download to you phone feature for Netflix. I spent a ton of time on the train for work so it's been a godsend.

Yeah, it was on my watch list for a while and finally over the weekend was able to watch almost all of it. I have two episodes left. I thought it was interesting at first and then when they dropped the Mikkel/ Michael thing I was all in. 

I also heard S2 sometime this year.

Agree on its awesomeness.  If you like time travel stuff, Gut suggested 12 Monkeys to me.  I was hesitant at first, but it really grew on me.  I still prefer Dark, but 12 Monkeys will help you pass the time.

Dark is a top 5 for me.  I've watched it 2x, and will probably watch a 3rd before watching season 2.

I watch the seasons of AHS every year and I also watch football (college and pro) when I can, but other than that I don't really watch shows or sitcoms and the like.

We don't have cable, so we just watch stuff that is interesting to us on netflix/hulu/amazon. Mostly we just watch The Office, Parks and Rec, or Seinfeld on loop. We do have a few runnings series we watch when a new season is dumped, but they're typically just 10 hour long episodes, so it's easy to binge.

I am in the air 5+ hours a week. Downloading Prime/Netflix/Showtime is how I spend my flights. I watch a lot of crap between when the good shows are out lol.

Finished Dark last night. Fantastic. I figured out who was who by the end, but the reveals were still pretty nice. 

I am excited to see where they take the 2nd season. 

As for me, I usually watch the Sunday Night dramas on HBO etc. But, I also have an exercise bike and in the evenings usually knock out a episode or two of various shows.

I never watched Parks and Rec and someone told me if I liked The Office that much that I would like it. I am only 1 episode in, so far its not that funny. If it doesn't get better I will be switching to either finishing the new season of Travelers or trying Dark.

Season 1 is okay (short season), it gets a lot better starting in season 2.

You’re watching the fucking pilot dude. Keep watching, it’s funny. And a great show.

The absurdity of the characters, and how the writers don't falter from it, is why I like the shows.  Andy's pure stupidity and Ron's pure awesomeness have me rolling.

The Office was the same, absurd characters that stayed that way (Michael, Dwight, Angela, Creed, Kelly, Andy, Erin, Kevin, Toby, etc). I mean the only "normal" characters were Jim, Pam, Stanley, Phyllis, and Oscar.

Toby was relatively normal. Darryl was also normal.

Darryl was normal, I found Toby to be a caricature of an over the top depressed/whiner type, not really "normal". Maybe I am wrong.

 

I did read the other day that the actor that played Toby actually wrote the funniest episode in The Office history (one of the funniest episodes in TV history). Stress Relief 1, with Dwight's "fire drill", Stanley's heart attack, and the CPR training. With all of that inside of the first 10 minutes of that episode one could say there was more laughter packed in that 10 minutes than in most comedy shows whole series.
