That was the shit time. It got good again. In fact, through 7 seasons I’m impressed at the level it has maintained. The last 2 seasons are incredibly close to home lol.

I may give it another shot but I just stopped abruptly watching in the middle of season 3 or 4 about ten months ago, so we'll see.

So it's like The League?

I liked every season but the last. Worst final season of a show I can remember.

Animal Kingdom (season 3?) starts tonight. 

Anyone watched The Rain on Netflix?

The Rain is alright if you can get past the bad dubbing and/or closed captioning.  I did see it was greenlit for a 2nd season

FX App has them all available. Not sure how long, but usually 6 months to a year.

I’ve been watching on Amazon, so I wonder if 6 will be on there soon.

Just finished S5. I had all of S3 DVRd, and then we moved and I lost it before I was able to watch. Finally was able to catch up a few years ago with 3/4 hitting Netflix, but S5 was eluding me. I’ve never been disappointed in this show, including S5 (which a lot of people said was by far the worst...which it may have been....but still very good).

Starting S6 right now, which I have DVRd. Looking forward to how they wrap it up.

S5 was fine. S6 was epic and the finale was one of the top all timers to me. The parking garage scene in the finale is just fantastic. I loved how it ended. 

I'm enjoying this season of Billions. Also, Westworld is the new Lost to me. Half the time I don't know what's going on and have to head to the internet to look at all the theories.

You know something, I did too--the writers did an excellent job in tying up some loose ends yet leaving us yearning for more (like a sequel series maybe?)...very well done!

The outcome of that garage scene was a big distraction to me (I think I literally yelled "that's crap!" at the screen).  All the reviews I read either ignored it or attempted to explain it away, and there's just no way.  Complete betrayal of who the character fundamentally is.

And I know why it ends where it does, it's just I don't know how you get there after a certain trigger was pulled.  Otherwise, sure the finale was great, but those two issues took a lot away for me.

 

lol, hopefully cryptic enough to make my point without spoiling anything

From S1:EP1 until the series finale it was an amazing show, and I am not typically into "dramas".

Finally finished 14 seasons of dumbass Grey's Anatomy. Show is so non believable. We watched parenthood awhile ago and I liked it. Started watching Suits recently.

HA. Yeah, I get ya and I just yelled about half through the scene saying no way. My read on it was some people ended up making it, but had to sacrifice and pay a price.

Big fan of suits.

I thought it was really good the first few seasons, but then fell off a good bit with the focus almost exclusively on office politics.  Hopefully the sort of mini reboot goes back to the roots of the show.

I wonder how the spin-off will do?  Looks interesting, anyway.
