What are you binge watching?

I bought one of the Lobster rope mats from Maine and while too expensive it really is nice.

Soooooo .... you're the reason.

Yeah agreed, especially with #2, the demigorgons kinda just disappeared for some reason which was a bit confusing. And Lucas giving one of them a front kick in the hospital elevator was absurd.

Reactions were mixed over the finale. I was okay with it but I also haven’t been as invested as the folks who’ve been watching it for 10 years but the Duffers seemed to be doing anything possible to make it two hours long. Some of it was just unnecessary and cringy.

And Derrick winning a "tug of war" with Holly and pulling her away from a Demi was ridiculous too.

I've found that most series struggle wrapping things up perfectly. I think Breaking Bad is the status quo. Ted Lasso also did a great job. Game of Thrones was a disaster. I'm in your camp that it was fine. The long wait and the 450 million dollar cost for filming Season 5 gave me higher expectations for sure.

Death by Lightning is the best thing I've seen in a long time.

They absolutely nailed it and the acting was phenomenal. They managed to bring about every emotion and made things incredibly relatable for something that took place so long ago.

My wife and I just settled into the absurd world of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and I love every minute of it.

Tina Fey is the co-creator and executive producer while Ellie Kemper plays the lead, a NYC transplant who spent the previous 15 years in a doomsday cult bunker.

It's totally out there, but my type of comedy.

Yeah, that was a great show and concept. The writers took it about as far as it could go. Carol Kane was brilliant as the crazy landlord.

Season 2 ep 1 of The Pitt answers my question about how they would keep doing one day/season without the cast aging out if the series went more than a few years.

2:1 starts as the first day of year two.

Just started 11.22.63 on Netflix last night. James Franco plays a teacher who goes back in time to try and prevent the assassination of JFK. Based on a Stephen King book with Chris Cooper (who's great in everything) in a supporting role. So far, cool concept and got me thinking about the butterfly effect of that event never happening.

Stranger Things. Final season. It's fairly similar, follows the formula you know. I don't know who is responsible for MBB's wardrobe but ewww. I had low expectations and I think it has cleared that bar and is basically ok. Most of the kids are clearly too old, but not by so much it doesn't work. Natalia Dyer on the other hand, is 30 but almost looks older than Winona Ryder. She might want to eat a sandwich.

I've never been able to get into time travel shows or movies. I do remember liking the time traveler's wife. But I've been watching the series or at least trying. I haven't been able to get past the episode where his 16 year-old self is having sex with his 16-year-old self.

Anyone else watching Season 2 of Fallout? I think it's thru 4 eps now. Kinda slow moving. And lots of different fronts. Not nearly enough of Lucy and the Ghoul. I really don't care about what's happening back in the various vaults. There are a bunch of characters, but mostly they aren't compelling. The stuff with the Brotherhood is more interesting at least.

I haven't watched the mini series yet, but the book was fantastic. It's one that I often recommend to people thinking about dabbling in Fantasy, but don't know where to start.
