S3 of Snowfall....love the genre, but the acting and writing in this just keeps coming up so short of potential. The CIA angle is plausible, if not a bit clumsy. The kingpin, though, seems like a composite character that's just completely unrealistic.
Finishing up Big Little Lies and Instant Hotel on Netflix, then will start on Designated Survivor (Netflix) and Last Chance U, which I can't wait for. The coach on that show could be an absolute trainwreck at times.
posted by gutI got bored with it halfway thru Season 2. S1 was good.
I liked Travelers. Bitter-sweet in that it had a conclusion (more accurately, a stopping point), but didn't finish the story before being canceled.
Yeah, same with me but that’s because I like sci fi. I liked Travelers as well. Really liked the start of 12 Monkeys (similar show to Travelers) but honestly keep forgetting to switch to Hulu to watch it. Maybe watched the first half of season 1.

If you really liked the first half of S1 of 12 Monkeys, then you're going to absolutely love the show I think. First 7-10 episodes can be rough, but then it gets exponentially better. Even more amazing on re-watch, which I'll probably do again sometime this summer.
4 episodes into the last season of OITNB. The end of episode 4 is some powerful stuff.
Just finished The Great Hack on Netflix, wow that’s crazy if true
Just started The Punisher. Loved the movie The Accountant, and it introduced me to an impressive Jon Bernthal, so when I saw he was the star of this, it went on my must-watch list, which I'm finally getting around to.
I'm only just into the second episode, but the first one set the tone really well.

Don’t get too attached or expect a nice tidy ending. Netflix abruptly had to cancel all their Marvel shows because Disney Plus and Marvel have a new deal. Not shockingly, Disney did not want competition, and forced Netflix (via Marvel) to end all production without much warning.
Daredevil at least had some warning based on timing. But Luke Cage, Jessica Jones and Punisher not so much. Punisher got 2 seasons.
posted by Laley23I couldn’t get into it, but my friend with very similar taste loved it.
Couldn't really get into it either. Started watching Gotham instead. Pretty good so far.
finished Bosch season 5. I really like that show, but i've read a bunch of the books too. be curious to know if any non-readers follow.

It’s one of my favorite cop shows. Helps to have a few crossover actors from The Wire. Never knew it was a series until I googled a spot in LA during S3 of the show and found out it was based on the books.

Yeah, I noticed. I was kind of expecting a messy ending, given that I've already finished Luke Cage, which I liked and was bummed to see cancelled. I haven't watched Daredevil (probably a result of being jaded after that piss-poor movie).
I really hope Bernthal gets a good line of well-publicized work going forward. I mean, I've only seen him in two things, and both were action roles, but the characters themselves were pretty different, and he did them both really well.

Daredevil is the best series of the Netflix Marvel ones, imo. You should watch. Jessica Jones had the best individual season/villain (S1).

Daredevil is really good, and Jon Bernthal is in some of the episodes. He's also going to be in Ford v Ferrari this fall, which stars Matt Damon and Christian Bale.
You've probably seen him in more than two things and just didn't realize it, though.

Great show. I didn’t know it had a series of books

Well, I'll definitely have to check out Daredevil, then.
And I loved the villain in season 1 of Jessica Jones. I didn't get very far into season 2, though. Just didn't grab me like season 1 did.

I'm sure I probably have. The Accountant was the first time I'd seen him in a role where he got to stand out, though. I'm sure I'll go back and watch something at some point that has him in it and go, "Whoa! That's Jon Bernthal! I didn't realize he was in this."
The Walking Dead ceased to exist once they killed off Bernthal.

Never seen it.
Breezed through “Basketball or nothing” on Netflix. The NBA might be shifting towards superstar duos but Chinle still had Angelo Lewis, Josiah Tsose, and Cooper Burbank!
....too bad no one will get that reference.
I finally started Ozark. I'm digging it.

I like Ozark a lot.
About at the end of Season 3 of Star Trek: Enterprise (second time watching it through) and I have come to realize that it is probably the best Star Trek series as it actually has a plot arc rather than just single episodes. Only really Voyager did the same/similar thing but their "arc" was mainly to get home.
It's a shame that Enterprise was cut short at 4 seasons (main reason I read/heard back then was low ratings due to baseball shifting the time slot a few times).
The Next Generation was my favorite forever and I only watched the first season of Enterprise when it was airing (was on UPN, not even sure what channel that is/was, and I believe it was before DVR). I also never watched Voyager until sometime last year.
Now I would rate them:
Enterprise
Voyager
Discovery
TNG
Deep Space 9
Original
I am sure I am missing a series in there somewhere but those are the ones I have watched from beginning to end.
Woodstock documentary on Netflix
10/10!
Watching Dave Chappelle's Sticks & Stones on Netflix. Offensive. Hilarious.
Thank God for Dave Chappelle.
Season 3 of HBO's The Duece is skipping ahead to 1985.
