westworld is overhyped and worth watching.
pilot is goat pilot that ever goated. rest of show has...problems...that are sort of unavoidable, yet it's still good. there is room for s2 to fix those problems.

Leah Remini's Scientology series is very solid. It's not entirely fair to put it up against Louis Theroux Scientology Movie but fwiw I got a lot more out of her series. | |

The flaws are more apparent if you watched it a week at a time. I watched every episode twice while waiting for the next. I can't speak for the wuf, but my main criticism would be that the characters motivations aren't all that clear. Why are William and Dolores so crazy for each other? Why do Felix and Silverster help Maeve? Why does everyone enjoy rape so much? In the big picture those are little things that might get explained later on. Overall it's a very solid first season. | |

Those are it. Character motivations are overly confusing and often don't make sense. |

Interesting. In the beginning I was expecting a sort of Jurassic Park. Nothing too deep. Just park full of robots go haywire and humans have to fight their way out. About halfway through I realized I was watching something else entirely. So I went back and re-watched the first five episodes. After that I felt I could follow things pretty easily. |

Yeah shit got in the way. Kinda split the season in to two parts with a few months in between. I think it may be my favourite series ever. Acting is great, so many amazing characters, really nails being a teenager. I felt a genuine melancholy when it finished. | |

I've watched both seasons. I really like it. The writing is great, it's funny, and the two main characters have good chemistry. Apatow clearly makes it a point to have characters that aren't one-dimensional or caricatured in any way -- the complexities of each character feel very authentic. It's refreshing to watch a show where it feels like the writers really understand different psychological types and what makes those people tick. The subtext in the dialogue is excellent (the kinds of things people say that are superficially unrelated to what they're really feeling/thinking). | |

I've already watched them both, season one when it came out. I remember season one being pretty crap in all honesty but season two seemed to get better as it went on and was quite enjoyable. |

Yeah, I'm not sure if i would have given the same response if you asked last year but I just finished the second and was impressed by the writing. It's an easy show to watch, if you're looking for something to relax to in the evenings over dinner. | |

I love how Homeland wrote this entire season with the assumptions that (1) Hillary would win and (2) Trump/Alex Jones/Limbaugh/Deplorables would act evil in response. |

Is anyone watching Fargo? I can't care about anything in that show. The only relateable character is the police chief. Why is everyone so stupid? What's up with the comic book villain guy? I put off watching last weeks episode until today and I'm not sure if I'll continue. I liked the first two seasons and I normally like this type of stuff but this season isn't doing it for me. There's that scene in the precinct's bathroom where the police woman is taking a shit and then tries to shake the police chiefs hand, continues to loudly talk about her sex life and then leaves having served no purpose to the story... That's this season in a nutshell for me. | |

I guess I zoned out when Ewan McGregor let comic book villain guy invite himself for dinner. McGregor's character makes William H Macy in the original Fargo look like an alpha male jock. | |

Downward Dog - I had a little search for Wilfred before posting this which I watched years ago. This is kind of Wilfred but without the weird psychological element that was going on in that. I'd say Wilfred was better but then after reading Wufs comment about it not being that funny I think that is true but ti made me realise this isn't really funny either. |

Has anyone kept up with Adventure time? I was never a fan and the first couple of seasons are fairly meh but wow does that shit become great. I can't think of a better show that takes characters who start off being pretty meh (Ice King) and give them such a well developed back story to the point they become some of the best characters on TV. |

Ken Burns documentary on The Vietnam War is airing on PBS right now. It's on par with all of Ken's other stuff, which means it's pretty good. It can get kinda long winded and drawn out at times but overall it does a good job of blending history, politics, and personal stories into a narrative that is really compelling. |

I thought there was too much drama between the DEA agent guy and his wife. It was totally unbelievable, and a pretty major distraction. It's not like they had kids and they were struggling to keep their family together. She hated being there, he was a total prick, all she had to do was leave. Instead, I think that they want us to feel bad for this woman who is supposedly "trapped", but could really buy a plane ticket and move on with her life at any time. |

It's no reason to stick with the show if you didn't like it, but FWIW the wife does pick up and leave in the 2nd season. | |

I don't really remember that being such a big part of the show. I gave up during season two as my time to watch tv whilst doing nothing diminished so anything with subtitles went out of the window. I mostly enjoyed it though. |

Confession Tapes on Netflix is a must see imo. Watch people get tricked or buckle under the pressure and confess to horrible crimes they didn't commit, then get convicted with no other evidence. Juries are fucking retarded imo. | |
