Yeah they're terrible people. It's hard to find one that's even likable. Maybe Carole's current husband? He's just a big nerd.

Started watching DEVS today. I admit, I fell asleep for a cat nape during episode 1 and woke up sometime in episode 2.
I'm on episode 4 now and I really have no idea what's going on.

Tiger King is one of the saddest, funniest, wildest, continuously heightening viewing experiences I can remember and I’m only 4-5 episodes in. I would ignore the memes and inside jokes and other posts that are surely flooding everyone’s quarantine timeline and just watch it on our own or with your housemates/spouse without the meta-commentary online.

I watched it a couple days ago, and it was fun. It's a great way to give some basic notions of psychology for people who never read about the topic. I wish the interviews with the experts were longer, to give the whole experiments a more serious vibe, but I get the intention was to make it entertaining.
About Love Is Blind I'm surprised by how conflicted I am about it. It was SO boring at moments and SO fun in another moments. I don't understand, I felt like the director really, truly believed they were proving that love is blind, instead of making a show about people with bad luck at love behaving bizarrely in a lockdown.
Now I am watching Da Vinci's Demons and it's so bizarre that I can totally see an episode with Da Vinci riding an unicorn fighting against Gengis Khan with laser blades.

Love is Blind seems like a blissful innocent show from so long ago after watching Tiger King.
But yes, some of it got boring. I think I fast forwarded through about an hour of it.

I'm sure some of you have seent this already but a friend shared it with me so if you haven't, enjoy
Been watching The Bold Type all day.
Loved season one. But It ended up falling off my radar after the first 3 episodes of Season 2. I was working long hours that I couldn't keep up with it.
Forgot how much I loved this show.
On Season 3 Episode 8 now.

I watched most of it too, saved the last one for breakfast. It’s just so very strange.

I've generally liked this show, even though it has its flaws, but this episode really seemed like a slow filler episode. Basically every scene seemed really drawn out and most were just snapshots of the past, without new compelling information. I don't think I've seen such a blatant filler episode in a long time.
That in and of itself isn't that notable, but one scene drove me crazy. The scene with the car crash. Did anyone else notice it was an all way stop? Why on Earth did they shoot the scene that way? What are the chances that two cars would completely blow through a four way stop in a residential neighborhood? One being someone who lives there, so almost had muscle memory to stop there, the other someone going like 50 in a residential neighborhood. Then, they showed the different possible alternate outcomes, and every one had them both running the stop signs again. Such a strange choice when they could have just had one of them run it with the same outcome.

We've been trying to wrap up other shows so we can begin O3 in earnest...hopefully tonight!
And my late night show has been Peaky Blinders, I'm just into S2. I'm surprised I waited this long, this is really hitting the spot. There are some fantastic bits of writing. Like...
"Shelby is a worm, and feeds off of the rotten parts of your mind. He gets in through your ear, with a whisper. He crawls in over your tongue as you lie to the judge and the pastor." Delivered by Sam Neill as Chester Campbell in that thick accent.
Paul Anderson has been excellent as Arthur, and now Tom Hardy is in the mix too!

I watched 2 more of O3 last night, so I'm 5 episodes in. I have to say, this is my favorite season so far. I can't wait to see where it goes. The kids are getting some juicier story lines this season too.

Can someone give an "if you like x, y, or z shows then you'll like Ozark"?
I've been rewatching Parks and Rec along with slowly making my way through The X-Files (almost done with season 4). X Files is a huge show and isn't really that bingeable so it'll take some time to finish.

Hmmmm…. It has a gritty quality to it like Rectify. It has aspects of the Mexican cartel to it but the actual cartel is not the main focus. It's kinda an innocent family falling into the clutches of the cartel and how they not only embrace it but start to thrive and maybe enjoy it? A bit of Breaking Bad but not as violent - so maybe more Better Call Saul. Jason Bateman's role is unlike any other he's played. Julia Garner is really great in it.
Well, how many times through are you on PnR?

Ozark is hard not to draw comparisons to Breaking Bad, but it has a pretty different, somewhat lighter, tone. I don't think it is quite as well done but is good and entertaining nonetheless.
