Have you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical situations?

Good suggestions...I'll have to check a couple of these out.

Anyone watching Killing Eve? Great show so far...strong 8/10

Westworld season 2 so far liking it...fleshing things out. I like the slow burn of the series, personally. 9/10

Final Space- 5/10

The Last Man on Earth- Series is coming into its own. Goofy as ...., but pretty good if you're into that. 7/10

Terror- eh...if we're talking about slow...still 7/10 for the moment.

Can't forget Legion - 9/10

Barry- strong 7/10

I watch too much TV...

Agreed on the binge watch, but not because it's slow. For me there is just SO MUCH fine detail put into each scene/episode that to keep track of it all with 6 days between shows is too much.

Binge watching it as a refresher was very enjoyable.

Lost in in Space (Netflix) - 5/10

On episode 7 and I am having a tough time finding the will to continue watching. Show started out promising but slowly started to reveal it's formulaic writing. Everything from the cheesy dialogue, the sudden yet often occurrence of artificially created drama, the extremely questionable character motives, slow pace with very little payoff, and convenient plot holes are making this a chore to sit through. My score may change but I doubt it. Only going to finish it because the wife wants to at least finish the first season.

I wouldn't say it's bad... it just doesn't do anything new. I see all the turn of events and conflicts comings miles away. I think that's why I'm impatient with it. I know what they're going to do and I'm just waiting for it to happen. Definitely disappointed so far. Was really looking forward to this one.

The Americans S2. Some really spine tingling moments.
As parents of two kids myself as well, I do not think I could ever do anything that would put them at such high risk. Nerves of steel.

8.5/10
- A slight dip in writing quality if only because there were a few too many too-predictable moments.

Altered Carbon - 9/10

What a great Sci-Fi series. Production value is off the charts and on par with any large scale feature film. The world that’s been created here is fully immersive and loaded with so much detail that it’s almost a character unto itself. Narrative is deep and plays out like a layered mystery across multiple timelines. Really hoping to see another season just so we can return to this world but the story has a pretty definitive conclusion so I could see this being a stand alone series too. Great stuff. Highly recommended for Sci-Fi fans or those who just want to see something different as it’s unlike anything on television and one of the best original offerings on Netflix to date.

Jessica Jones: S2 - 7/10

If you liked the first season you should enjoy this. S2 is more of an origin story than anything as Jessica’s clouded past is fleshed out. Very different structurally than S1 but because of that shift it helps give it a fresh and even a bit more grounded feeling. There were a few elements I didn’t care for, mostly surrounding the Trish character but overall it’s a natural progression for all the players and a solid continuation for the series. While this Marvel series isn’t as good as Cage, Daredevil or The Punisher in my eyes it is slightly better than both The Defenders and Iron Fist. So take that as you will.

I'm starting to wonder if anyone watches anything on NBC, CBS, NBC, or Fox anymore... Other than a few shows we watch with the kids, just about everything we watch seems to originate from the smaller networks.
