The Bent Neck Girl episode was really creepy. 

Yes, it was. 

Started watching The Haunting of Hill House, solid so far. On ep 5 and will definietly finish.

AHS watchers: Am I the only one who's very curious about the witch's helpers? There was nothing said about them in Coven and so far this season. Damn, they need to explain or have some sort of small backstory!

You mean the dudes that were straight out of the Matrix? Yeah, it was a little odd. If I had to guess, they may be Warlocks. 

It was a fine episode, one they had to reset things. My only concern is there is only 3 episodes left in the season and we are still stuck in the before the Apocalypse timeline. 

I'm also 7 in on Hill House. I loved episode 6 and the long tracking shots.

I'm going to guess that this is going to be the last year for AHS, unfortunately. Heard that Ryan Murphy is moving on to something else next year. I'll throw a fit if that's true! But it would make sense that there are so many references to previous seasons.

I'm enjoying Manifest.....though I'm sure it will end-up sucking and/or get canceled.  

Naomi Watts cast in the Game of Thrones prequel.

We finished up Hill House last night. I was bored out of my mind with them all, stuck through it for the wife though. She liked it.

This is what I don't like about review... on literally anything.  I've read the exact opposite on this show, where many say it is creepy as f•ck.  I'll give it a shot.

I'm about through 5 seasons of Parks and Rec.  When I first started, I thought it was funny, but I thought they were trying to recreate the success of the Office.  After I've made it this far, it is easily one of my all time favorites.  The caricature characters are so great.  Just about all of them.  I love Ron Swanson, I love Andy Dwyer, I love Leslie Knope, I love Anne Perkins, I love Tom Haverford.  I even love Chris Traeger's character.  Individually, these characters can be quite loathsome, but the way they make it work is so well done.  

Parks and Rec is my favorite tv comedy of all-time. Ron Swanson is the GOAT tv comedy character of all-time, IMO. Chris Traeger is literally my wife's favorite character on the show.

Just finished this season of Better Call Saul. I thought it was very good. I stan for Kim. 

If you need a break from all the hour long, semi-serious shows we all watch..”I’m Sorry” on Netflix is hilarious. Apparently it airs on TruTV. Only 1 season, with a 2nd coming soon. I laughed pretty much the whole time.

Yeah, Murphy is moving on to Netflix. But, I think the show is still continuing on somehow. I liked the last episode, fills in some more gaps. 

I started Bodyguard over the weekend. The opening 20 mins was straight out of 24 and great. 

I also slugged it out and still watch the Walking Dead. I actually really enjoyed Rick's "last" episode. The hard reset is pretty damn nice too.

I watched the first half of season 1 and agree, it is rather funny. I need to finish out season 1, maybe tonight since the wife will be at work.

Anyone been watching this seasons Always Sunny?? The Sexual Harrasment Seminar might’ve been the best episode innyears. Probably top-10 maybe 5 for me.

AHS: Lots of "reasons" on how things have been done so far. But there is only one episode left and I'm not sure they can tie it all together properly in the time given. It really seems to me that this is the shortest season yet with prior seasons having at least 2 shows going past the usual hour (there's been one this season IIRC). I'm not trying to complain as I've really enjoyed it so far, just can't seem to believe that it will all make sense in the end.

That's been my only complaint this year. I love the story, it is just out of order, so it is hard to care. If I already know the Apocalypse occurs, it is hard for me to care about all the details on how it happened, especially since I last saw the witches face off against Langdon after the end of the world. 

I've been rewatching Seinfeld, starting on season 5. I'm up to the end of season 7 now. Such a great show.

It amazes me with Seinfeld, how every single episode is memorable.  There is an iconic moment, even if it's all but 1 moment, in every single episode.
