My husband and I do not watch many of the same shows, but we are watching Law & Order True Crime: The Menendez Murders and we liked the first episode. Edie Falco is a queen, and I had no idea Josh Charles and Sam Jaeger were going to be in it, so that was a pleasant surprise.

I am more annoyed that most people by improper English/grammar with things like 'bae', 'lit', 'woke', 'turnt', etc.justincredible;1874716 wrote:I'm going to go out on a limb and say she's not going to stop because you asked her to.
However, calling someone out on it on a message board is dumb, unless they are excessive (like every other post).
Saw The Good Doctor last night, having a kid with austism (similarly high functioning as the role in this show) I am probably biased, but I liked it a lot, especially his last scene of why he wants to be a surgeon.
So far it isn't as amazing as Atypical is/was from Netflix, but it has only been 1 episode.

Through the first 2 episodes of The Deuce on HBO. Definitely interesting and well done, which is no surprise with David Simon in board. Will definitely finish this season as it happens.

Episode 3 is better and episode 4, that aired Sunday, was the best so far.Laley23;1874733 wrote:Through the first 2 episodes of The Deuce on HBO. Definitely interesting and well done, which is no surprise with David Simon in board. Will definitely finish this season as it happens.

Agreed on both shows. Also, jmog last night was the second episode of Good Doctor. The pilot was on 9/25.

As my wife spent several years teaching kids with autism and other hurdles, we had to watch it, and I liked it very much. I will definitely be keeping up with it.jmog;1874725 wrote:Saw The Good Doctor last night, having a kid with austism (similarly high functioning as the role in this show) I am probably biased, but I liked it a lot, especially his last scene of why he wants to be a surgeon.
Also, a complete guilty pleasure show (it's really not a good show at all) is iZombie. Just realized I hadn't watched any of the third season, so I'm going to. I don't recommend it if you come into it with any expectation that it's not cheesy zombie nonsense. It's cheesy zombie nonsense. Think Walking Dead meets Bones where the main characters are all millenials, and add a heaping cup of infantile melodrama.

Watched the first 2 episodes of Me, Myself and I. It is a cool concept and is executed well.

If you liked The Good Doctor, you should watch Atypical on Netflix. They have a whole season out already and are supposed to start season 2 sometime soon.O-Trap;1874960 wrote:As my wife spent several years teaching kids with autism and other hurdles, we had to watch it, and I liked it very much.

They turned the idea used in "This is Us" with showing parts of each story separated by decades, into a comedy show.superman;1874967 wrote:Watched the first 2 episodes of Me, Myself and I. It is a cool concept and is executed well.
I agree, not bad, I like it so far, but This Is Us last year really started this type of show.

I've had a handful of people, including men, that say they are addicted to this show and that they cry every episode.

This Is Us...how to describe it for men...
If you are the type of man who only watches things that blow up or things that make you laugh, you won't ever want to watch This Is Us. It is a drama, most associated with "women".
However, it is not the "Soap Opera" type show that really caters to women, it handles real life drama type situations.
My wife loves the show, my oldest 2 sons watch it with us as well, I like it a lot. It maybe the best TV drama since Parenthood.
I do admit, there has been 1 or 2 episodes that got me choked up, don't remember actual tears but choked up for sure.

It's about a therapist in NYC. A lot of scenes of her talking to patients about their problems. It was just lame and boring. Netflix cancelled it with the quickness, so I doubt I'll finish it.CenterBHSFan;1875016 wrote:Any particular reason why? I've never even heard of it, so I'm curious.

I know The Good Doctor has only had 1 episode, but in my opinion (so far) Atypical covers what it's like to be highly functioning autistic better.O-Trap;1875042 wrote:I'll have to do that.
The Good Doctor showed no real "freak outs" based on sound, anxiety, lights, textures, or whatever. I know all autistic people are different, but some of the stuff shown on The Good Doctor so far would have caused some major "breakdowns" for most on the spectrum.

I did notice that, but I do have to turn around and give them credit for accentuating the background sounds when they focus on Dr. Murphy's perspective, as I understand that to be a pretty normal thing among many people with autism.

My wife signed us up for Hulu last week. It's been nice being able to watch Seinfeld on the regular. Any Hulu originals worth checking out? I've heard Handsmaid's Tale is good.
