I too loved the Good Place ending.

But you know you've watched too many postmodern movies when

Spoiler

You think the taped Q&A is part of the "show" as if they were doing a Taste of Cherry moment. I think that very last "take it sleazy" beat was great, just wish it had more breathing room before launching into that lol.

Enjoyed the ending of The Good Place, and it felt like the right spot to end it. Sad, funny, charming...just all the right things The Good Place does.

Finished all of Bojack now. Solid ending. Maybe not the best season (part one included) overall, but a good way to tie up everyone's stories. Maybe not as many jokes packed into these episodes, but the story it was telling/finishing was really engaging, as always. This is one of my favorite shows of the past few years, and although I'm sad to see it go, happy it finished while still on a high note.

Joe Pera, best show on TV, sad but hopeful end to the season.

Hedwig is your fave. Riverdale has been .... odd after the last season. Had it been consistently as cheesily good as S1, then this would have been such welcome news. But yeah, I agree. This is going to be a disaster.

Who is playing Hedwig?

i don't know.

If you haven't watched Messiah on Netflix, go and do it now. It's a very very very good show, a great mix of political thriller mixed with paranormal/religious stuff.

I am caught up on it.

It's..... fascinating and bizarre.

Catch up so I can bounce questions off of you!

I almost watched a 2nd one last night, but it was getting late. And I woke up thinking about it a lot, so I'm sure I'll watch as soon as I can!

We've checked out the first few episodes of Avenue 5, which have been hilarious. I am on temporary streaming hold until I get a new ISP though. Called Spectrum to complain about how terrible our speeds were, was offered a faster plan for 3x what we currently pay, declined the offer, and MYSTERIOUSLY it is now way worse than it was in the first place. Bandwidth throttling is the biggest god damn racket.

We were also enjoying The Outsider up until this week! We will return ASAP though! It's not the best thing I've ever seen, but at the same time I have to see it through now.

Since watching fleabag a month back I've been on a Phoebe Waller-Binge (yes I am very proud of this pun). I've watched Crashing, just finished Broadchurch and I'm going to start Killing Eve sometime this weekend

Currently re-watching The X-Files.

I skip an occasional episode here and there...some just aren't good.

I'm one of the few that like the later Robert Patrick/Annabeth Gish episodes.

In true Stephen King fashion. Have you read the novel? I haven't so I have no clue how this will all play out but I'm very intrigued.

I could only watch one more last night, but hoping to get through a couple more tonight. I have some early thoughts...but I'll wait til I catch up to you and @Teeeee before I start guessing wtf is going on.

I have not read the novel. He scares me too much.

I'm completely intrigued. My cousin talked me through his theory so I'm a bit more settled about it. I guess my angst was that when I went into this show, I didn't know that I would have to suspend a certain amount of disbelief. Like, with Game of Thrones, I knew going in that it was fantasy and so my expectations were set. Whereas for The Outsider, I thought it was a drama about a murder. I didn't realize there was some other aspect to it so it was all just confusing to me. I'm better now.
