Designated Survivor got cancelled :-(

Not a complete surprise. It turned into a crisis of the week after burning thru the original premise. 

Might get picked up by Netflix

Well hell, just started to watch that.   They left that cliffhanger of that one lady as a spy/mole...Oh well.

Started to watch SIX last night. Only 9 EPS and the season 2 starts Monday. So  far...so good for it!

I started losing interest in the 2nd season.  I'd agree it got to be kind of all over the place and didn't know what it wanted to be (supposedly went thru at least 3 directors/producers).

I liked the scenarios Kirkman was going through each episode. Didn't give a shit about Hannah's character. I kind of hoped she'd just get popped every time I watched.

she does have a hell of an ass, though

Gut - I am almost through season 3 of 12 Monkeys (SyFy).  I enjoy it very much.  I still like Dark a little better, but 12 Monkeys definitely takes you deeper down the rabbit hole.

Awesome.  Just in time for the final season in a month or two (which I think will be released in 3 parts, similar to S3 but over 3 weeks instead of a weekend).  Glad you enjoyed it - didn't really think you wouldn't if you liked Dark.  Maybe you see what's coming in the final few episodes, but for me it was the most jaw-dropping mind fuck ever.

I'm up to the third act of S3.  I like it even better on second viewing, and realized a lot of things were pretty clearly explained but subtly.  Even more impressed with the writing as they do a good job of explaining the "rules" and sticking with them (almost everything has a good explanation in the logic of the show).

Show creator claims S4 will be even better.  I don't know how that's possible.  I have a theory on a couple of major reveals (which I think is probably obvious to everyone.....so wrong), just hoping it doesn't end with "closed loop - duh!".

Solid start to SIX last night.

Apparently the regular night is Wed so EP 2 is tomorrow night.

Animal Kingdom (season 3?) starts tonight. 

Anyone watched The Rain on Netflix?

hope you guys enjoyed Roseanne, since I'm guessing it's heading for cancelation now that Barr made some racist comments on twitter.

Watched the first night two eps. Wasn't bad. Intended to keep watching but never have.   Sort of too many political jokes for my liking but overall it was okay.

I'm not real good about keeping up with any new series but will try to keep SIX on History channel as a weekly watch.

LOL, that was fast!  Would have happened for a lot less since they probably couldn't wait to get that pro-Trump propaganda off the air.

Is this really that shocking? ABC = Disney

Her talent agency also dropped her.

Rosie probably should have just pulled a Joy Reid and claimed her Twitter was hacked. 

She kinda tried to say she was hacked by Ambien 

Watching It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.  Fucking hilarious show.

Been on my list for a long time - only seen a handful of shows but they were always hilarious.

Americans finale tonight...disappointed a little.  Well, quite a bit actually.  Still a fanstastic show.

I give a raise to whomever came up with "racism is not a known side effect"
