Almost every show thats good eventually toilets I feel like. :lol:

Surprised GoT or Dexter not listed already.

Everyone should take a note from Breaking Bad and plan for the end early on and so as to not fucking blow it.
Then again, GoT...

Generally speaking TV is a waste of time.

This has been an Ostinato Rubato public service announcement.

Don't shit on my thread, dude. I had my anti-tv phase too. Not anymore.

Legit question, since I know you're a Dad as well; how do you unwind at the end of the day? I can't play guitar or drink, so I have to watch tv.

Can I answer, too? I usually sit in the kitchen (near enough to each child without being in any sort visual range) and drink whiskey while I read a book. I watch Netflix and Prime during the day while working but rarely in the evening.

Me four. I play a little guitar; make trumpet noises; do household stuff and hang with the wife and watch shows. Movies with the boys when there's something we want to watch. Watching sports is gross. I do love to read but have really found as I get older that my attention span can't really do long form reading :lol:

So one show I REALLY dug at first was Mr. Robot. Then either S2 or 3 happened and I was out for reasons I can't quite recall. Does it deserve to be revisited?

Glow

GoT was like watching a beautiful work of art slowly twist in on itself until it didn't even resemble a parody or farce.

Goldbergs - holy shit, just stahp! Adam clearly gave up on active participation 'cause it's turned into the same damn story every week.

Westworld - suffers from HBOitis.

We also need a "started shit and got shittier" TV thread. I have more than a few contenders for that one.

To be fair the first episode proper '33' is legitimately one of the best episodes of TV ever. Its hard to top that.

They just started another one.

FWIW, I dug both versions of Battlestar Galactica I saw for different reasons. While the latter one definitely tapered a bit in the middle, I thought they managed to have a decent enough ending. :idk:

Season 3 of Orange is the New Black was awful. I almost gave up on it altogether after that, but I feel like it redeemed itself pretty well in season 4 onward
