Chernobyl was truly incredible from start to finish. One of the best overall shows I've watched in years.

I concur.  Completely true and frightening.

People knew this was true yesterday at noon. I'm still confused about why you wanted him to lose.

No, it had already aired in multiple markets and he did an interview with Darren Rovell that was published around noon. 

I'm confused because his run made for good, entertaining television. Now it's back to the same old show. Don't get me wrong, I like Jeopardy and watch it occasionally, but it's always fun when something exciting comes along.

I was pissed Rovell started tweeting that shit so early. I get some markets play it early but was still annoyed. And yea, I was dvr'ing each week to see how good he will. Now I'll probably watch the recordings if I'm bored, but definitely won't be as exciting.

Yeah it was a shitty move on his part.

I was pissed. Nobody follows Rovell for breaking news like that.

I knew it was leaked he would lose, didn't know Rovell played a douchebag role in it but I'm not surprised at all.

Finally caught up on Barry.  Enjoyed Season 2.

But episode 4, or maybe it was 5, was one of the most ridiculous shows I've ever seen anywhere.  And it was absolutely awesome.

The bottle episode with the crazy kid? Yeah, that was nuts. I watched that in real time right after Thrones and thought Barry was way more entertaining that night.

Really enjoyed Chernobyl - seems like an odd and terrible thing to say.

Deadwood 2-hr movie was also very good.

The season finale of Billions was pretty good, if a little predictable. 

City on a Hill has potential. 

Big Little Lies was good, but I can't imagine too many of you watching that one.

I enjoyed the Deadwood movie. I thought it was a pretty damn good send off.

I loved the finale of Billions. Good resetting of the board for sure. And we are back to the Axe v. Chuck war...

I agree City on a Hill has potential...I'll give it a shot. 

I'm enjoying the new series of Luther on BBC America.  

Anyone give the new Black Mirror episodes a shot? I didn't think they were awful, but just ok.

I watched the Ken Burns documentary on the Central Park Five and then the Netflix show When they See Us. Holy shit...its heart breaking in how closely it tracks...

S3 of Designated Survivor on Netflix was decent (certainly better than S2)....although they could tone down the woke SJW themes a bit.  Actually, the liberal agenda they were pushing (for a supposed "independent square in the middle") was pretty over the top.
