I basically feel the same about Westworld. I think @gouis once said (in reference to Westworld) "it thinks a lot smarter than it is" and I couldn't agree more

Westworld is incredible shitty TV.

If you're going to it for 'prestige' TV you're gonna have a bad time.

Incredibly shitty? I mean, I can see why people don't like it but .. that's just hyperbole.

I didn't say it was incredibly shitty. I said it was incredible shitty-tv. Like it's not "good" but it's good if you want some pulp sci-fi action.

For people struggling finding something to watch, here are some of my recent favorites:
Killing Eve
Barry
Fleabag
Dead to Me
Catastrophe
Bodyguard
Informer
Russian Doll

I gave up on S2 of Westworld halfway through, I might dip back in for S3 but am not overly optimistic. Looking forward to new seasons of Big Little Lies, Mindhunter, and Elementary (my guilty pleasure)

That's a spicy meatball.

Honestly, I find it boring. I don't find the concepts outlined by any of the characters to be new thoughts.
I do enjoy it and find the story compelling at times, but I get the feeling that the audience is supposed to be shocked or look at themselves in the mirror with regards to the behaviors of human and human - seeking character alike, and I'm not. It's all stuff I've thought about and engaged with already - nothing new. That doesn't mean it's bad - I just think the writers present something that isn't a new idea like it's supposed to be - which is fine.

I was just using the Rick & Morty copypasta edited to apply to Westworld. My apologies.. either people didn't get it or they did and it just wasn't funny.

Oh yeah, when the fuck is Mindhunter coming back? I totally loved season one and have been anxious for more ever since.

Probably just me - I'm old and becoming increasingly slow-witted.

It's ok, I'm equally as old and not with it at all. I was just trying to show my fellow kids that I, too, can get lit and woke af.

I read August of this year.

Good to know. I haven’t seemed to see any sort of news on its progress.

Sherlock (my guilty pleasure)

I thought this was done for good?

 

[Clint Howard]

Patriot is another fantastic current show although we'll probably not see a new season. Season 1 was some of my favorite television of the last little while.

Speaking of Sherlock, Elementary is back this week!!! What a time to be alive, I love that shit.

Oh shit, I meant Elementary! (though I loved Sherlock, too)

I just started it last week, I'm halfway through season 2 and quite pleased that there are 4 more seasons to watch and a 7th beginning to air. Jonny Lee Miller has come a long way since Hackers (which I love, don't get me wrong). It's a fun show.

My wife and I started Chernobyl last night in an effort to make the most of our remaining time subscribed to HBO Go after GoT ended. We are only one episode in, but holy moly... it's REALLY good!

Have you watched Barry?

No... what's that all about?

Bill Hader plays a hit man. One of the best series out there right now. The second season just ended. It's a great mix of comedy and dramatic tension.

And NoHo Hank is the breakout side character of the year.
