We really need to watch the latest season, but it may be a while since we just restarted Supernatural. Gonna take a while to get through fifteen seasons of twenty plus episodes each.


I'll admit the fourth season was a step down from the first 3. But season 5 has been one of the best, so far. I really think that Amos needs a spin-off show. He needs a ship that looks like a tug as he goes around the galaxy, drinking and kicking ass.

Eh, I liked season 4 but I had the advantage of having read the books twice. So any gaps/shortcoming were probably missed by me since I have a lot of prior knowledge.

Started Your Honor on Showtime.

1. Bryan Cranston
2. Senator Clay Davis
3. Limited series

In 2 episodes so far and it is fantastic. Cranston is a sympathetic judge whose son gets involved in some sh!t. Enough said. Nerve wracking yet quiet drama so far. Really good and glad to know I won't have to trudge through 4 seasons given fact #3. Very good.

binged some documentaries on Netflix this weekend..... Night Stalker which was a trip, 4 episodes and if you like those type of Serial Killer docs it's a good one..... The other doc I watched most of is called Spycraft about well..... Spycraft..... some cool shit in there that if you're prone to paranoia it may not be the best to watch lol the surveillance episode was pretty insane showing the methods they have to bug rooms, and you know they are only showing declassified shit so who knows what else they can do now.....

Me and the wife are also currently watching The OA. Weird and interesting. It's tough to sum up, but it's about near death experiences and travelling between different realities.

Watch it.

Started The Great North yesterday. Basically, if you dig Bob's Burgers, it's the same type of deal just with a larger and slightly more dysfunctional family. The kids are older, and they live in Alaska. Nick Offerman plays the dad by basically being the ultimate Ron Swanson to the Ron Swanson power. He has a great exchange with his in real life wife Megan Mullaly, who plays the manager at the photo place in the mall, where she kept saying 69 cents in this sultry voice and he kept asking her, "was it sixty eight? Seventy? What was it again?" Very lulzy.

Alanis Morissette being the god like imaginary best friend of the younger daughter is pretty funny too.

I'd say for only being two episodes, they've set up a nice world with fun characters. I'd say it has real potential.

actually they really demystified the whole Stalingrad situation..... while the weather did play a part so much more went down that lead to the Germans getting their asses handed to them.

Finished up Your Honor. Great, if a little abrupt, ending. Cranston always delivers.

One episode left of Mr. Mercedes S3. Kind of a Fargo-lite vibe but really digging it.

We're rolling into season 3 of Supernatural on our rewatch. Bella has arrived. :love: Laura Cohan :love:

It's amazing to me how many of the things stuck in our memories happened in the early seasons. How few episodes John was on, yet still has a huge impact. The fairly tale episode. Azazel's first arc. The Battle Royal alike episodes. The kids like Sam. The roadhouse's brief stint as a hunter bar. So much stuff. Those early episodes are also really great at doing "the movie of the week" type of plots while still building a believable ongoing story. Man did they get the right guys to play the brothers too. Some of the behind the scenes stuff their fighting and wrestling around and it reminds me so much of the brothers I knew growing up. Just constant picking on each other until somebody snaps and starts shoving the other around.

Such a fun show.

No, it isn't. I wish I'd stopped after season 1.

Great show. Looking forward to S4.

Finished up Mr. Mercedes over the weekend. Wrapped up nicely. No need for another season but they pulled out a season I didn't expect in this one; so kudos on that.

About done with the latest season of The Sinner. Bill Pullman being awkward and killing it like he does in this series.

We finished Supernatural last night.
I'm considering starting all over again :D
I've been to and fro with it. Watched 8 seasons, then it was dropped from Netflix. Watched a couple of seasons when it aired on cable. It resurfaced on another streaming channel, and we finished 11-15 now. Great show. Cool actors, and just the right amount of fantasy :thu:
