I would say that Roseanne exceeded my expectations. Probably need to get a few more episodes in to know if it's honestly good, or just the novelty factor.

What are your thoughts now? I miss Mark and David. I think it's odd that they omit or gloss over characters. They mentioned Roseanne's youngest son Jerry one time and they haven't mentioned Jackie's son at all to my knowledge. I guess being that it is a sitcom they feel that it's not a big deal. Crystal showed up in Tuesday's episode and she wasn't in the last few seasons of the original run. They are definitely doing it in a weird way, but I think it's ok overall. I guess the ratings went down a little bit this past week. 

For you Karate Kid fans, Cobra Kai dropped on Youtube Red yesterday. It's actually really great. 

I watched the first episode of the new season of The 100. Decent start to the season, there are a couple potential storylines that could be interesting.

What kind of stuff is available on YouTube Red?

The Goldberg's is a pretty funny sitcom. We've been watching the first season on hulu.

I haven’t looked into it much. I happened to have a subscription already. There’s probably a 30-day trial you can do. That’s what I did originally.

we like it as well---very creative in the way it's presented, and we love the outtakes at the end showing the actual persons the episodes represent

If you grew up in the 80s, you should love the Goldberg's.

Never said I didn't like it.  Said that I think Dark is better.  Try to keep up.

And you said that after 2 episodes when there's 30+ hours of story left until the final season.  12 Monkeys starts off a little rough, for more than some, but Dark takes about 3 shows to start revealing its story, as well.  Ep. 6 is where it 12 starts to find it's legs.  And it gets geometrically better from there.  If you're not into by then I guess the actors just aren't working for you.  

I could see how Dark may have more mainstream appeal, because it's just not nearly as dense or complicated, not yet anyway.  And 12 Monkeys is definitely heavier on the scify, meta and existentialism.

Best show on tv right now. 

Spycraft meets great story telling about a husband and wife and their relationship. The final season so far has been fantastic. 

It's been great so far the entire series, I just don't know how the writers wrap it up satisfactorily in just 4 episodes.  I feel like it would need a few hours of "where are they now" and I don't think we'll get it.

I'm a couple episodes behind...the shine is definitely wearing off a little bit. 

Started The Good Place on Neflix a few nights ago...digging that bigly.
