2. Monsieur Spade (AMC) - created by the guy who did Queen’s Gambit and starring Clive Owen.

Yes, i think the new True Detective has been pretty good so far. Interesting premise.

We're doing that whole, "30 days of night" theme in this season and so far it's working to create a real atmospheric series. I skipped season's 3 & 4. This isn't quite season 1, but i have no complaints so far.

I never finished Season 2 but enjoyed Season 3. Definitely not as good as the first but nothing ever will be…it was damn near perfect.

I’m undecided on this season so far. Kinda intriguing and I like the characters at this point, but I kind of feel like they’re leaning on Season 1 too much as a crutch. I guess I will be interested to see how they tie it together, but the symbolism seems too in your face so far to me. And if I remember right, I don’t think writer or director are the same…Nick Pozz-whatever is not involved?

The Jodie Foster sex kitten thing is kind of weird

I like the mystery but it feels kind of Steven King cable adaptation ish

Hoping it improves

There are only 6 episodes and we’re through 2. It’s been a little slow going thus far but obviously high quality production and acting. The reviews are excellent so I have to think the pace is gonna pick up shortly and it’ll be humming on Sunday when we watch it completely hammered post-AFCCG victory and don’t even remember it.

I like it. I like it a lot.

I hadn't really watched True Detective since S1. I tried an episode or 2 of season 2 I think.

I like the remote, isolated dark setting. I was a bit surprised how heavy it was on the supernatural. You get the sense they're going to "figure" that out. I've enjoyed it through two episodes. I didn't realize it was 6 episodes. That's awesome, I think most shows do better with less episodes.

I think so, too. There are a lot of series that are scheduled for 10 episodes (give or take) and it often seems like an episode or two are 'filler'. As if the writers have a story that is easily and completely told in 4 or 5 episodes, but they are contracted for more, so they meander down a non-important side story. It could be called character development, but more often than not that development doesn't add to the story.

Beef....kind of sucked to be honest

That's one unintended consequence of streaming. It's FAR better to tell the right story than to fit it to a structure. Hopefully that increases.

I liked it. I didn't think it was as good as some of the reviews, but I thought it was a decent enough watch. One thing it did do was hook me pretty hard. I couldn't quit the shit, regardless of what I thought of it.

I really need to go back and re-watch S2

S1 was perfect so felt initially like S2 fell short but I do remember enjoying the dark, seedy atmosphere they created

I got a 'free' Disney+ subscription through Spectrum and decided to watch the Doctor Who 60th anniversary specials. Part of the way through the Capaldi era, I started to lose interest as the show started to move in a direction that I didn't enjoy. The Whitaker era continued this trend and with Tennant back to reprise the Doctor, I thought I would give it a try.

Well, I didn't think it was as bad as many said however... It wasn't good. I get it; some people don't feel their gender is correct. I get The Message; men bad, women good. Always check with someone before using certain pronouns.

Disappointed that another one of the shows that I liked is gone.

What is Disney going to do with Deadpool?

Sorry, I wasn't clear there. I was talking about the latest season. I only watched a couple eps from season 2 forever ago and never tried S3. I've enjoyed the new season with Jodie Foster so far

It had me for awhile, but ultimately was a complete mess of "shock drama"
