Final season of The Expanse was good, although could have used a few more episodes.

But one of the most bizarre choices I've ever seen was to include a "Pet Sematary" storyline that left a rather large, unresolved WTF?!?  One of the writers must have thought it was a really cool idea to include that rip-off because there's no other explanation.

Yeah, the whole kid storyline made no sense, but I think is part of a larger story line in the books. No idea why it was in there. 

I enjoyed the last season more than I thought. Was surprised how much they threw in there those 6 episodes.

Yellow jackets finished up last week. That show is awesome. Lord of the flies meets Lost. Great finale that sets it up for a few season run.

Been watching the Joe Millionaire reboot....and while nothing could top the GOAT reality tv series, this does it justice.

Can't tolerate the Bachelor or Bachelorette, but this is pretty good.  And if it pays proper homage, it's going to get a lot better!

Resident Alien comes back this week.  I'd maybe compare it The Good Place, where while being pretty hilarious it actually has a good story running underneath.

Finished Yellowstone. Very good, if not a bit ridiculous at times — which doesn’t inherently bother me, it’s the nature of a serial high stakes drama. But like whoa, they take some liberties and don’t explain some stuff very well haha.

Started recent season of Ozark, but only got 1 episode in.

Ozark is great. 

S4 of Yellowstone was, well, crap.  And, yes, the plot armor has gotten ridiculous.  Showrunner has at least 4 series now, and I won't be surprised if the quality continues to slip. 

But really enjoying 1883, so far.  Somewhat shocked that Tim McGraw and Faith Hill are actually pretty good actors.  Enough music artists have crossed over at this point that maybe it shouldn't be that surprising any more.

I didn't mind Season 4 of Yellowstone. I thought the finale was kind of blah. I like 1883 as well and look forward to 6666.

Was that a typo, or did you miss ep. 7? :)

It really is great writing, especially considering how ridiculous it gets.  Batemen is absolutely brilliant, but the whole cast is excellent.

I watched season 4 episode 1 the other day with my wife….she’s dragging her feet reading some book. So today my school canceled for ice and I productively knocked off the other 6 …..prolly won’t sleep tonight. Lol

I love 90% of the characters

Yes. It was awesome.

Ruth yelling at the end to the Byrds was great. 

I love Wendy. She is the anti Skylar White. 

Ruth may get her revenge though in the end, but she also may not make it

The last 3 episodes of Book of Boba Feta were awesome. Makes we wonder what the hell were they doing with those first four episodes.

I'm watching Billions as well. They are making a nice change up with the main characters. 

Also started Archive 81 on Netflix. 1 episode in and its a nice creepy 90s style horror devil cult show.

Already 1 character gone I thought would make it until the last episode or two.

I read later this year but damnit I need it much sooner. Season 4 was said to be out way way earlier than when it was…..so hopefully not too long.


I might rewatch the entire series again….knowing I missed some stuff the first time. Some painfully awkward scenes though.
