I really liked the ending of company retreat. I got a few laughs throughout the series but the ending got me in the feels. 

It ended up being a good season. I would definitely watch season three if they make one.

I'm currently streaming Scarpetta on Amazon Prime. Jamie Lee Curtis is really irritating on the show, if it was her intent, she does a good job. A little bit too much jumping from the past to the present, makes it a bit confusing. But it's worth a watch....but the books were/are much, much better.

I am a big fan of “Dead Loch”.  Season 2 just added - on Amazon Prime.  
 

Anyone else see season 1, and now season 2? 
 

I very literally laugh out loud at the dialogue and physical humor on this show.

I’ll check it out, Sue. Need the laughs I can get.

Just finished DTF St. Louis and even though they telegraphed the ending (or the whodunnit) it was still a very impactful ending.

yes it was. I was wondering how they were going to pull it off but I liked it.  

Sometimes the obvious answer is the best one, rather than some crazy twist at the end, but if you tell the story correctly it can work.  Loved the Homer character too.

My only complaint is that Clark's ASL skills were too advanced for the limited amount of learning he had.  They did a good job at balancing the flaws but showing us why they have those flaws.

and having a son like Richard sure pulled at the heartstrings.  When they were on the bus after he acted out.... damn.  Been there done that.

One of the saddest endings ever.    It hit me hard, being an overweight middle-aged guy.   Feeling invisible.  Only difference is that I kind of like it.

Did Harbour wear a fat suit?  Someone with his girth should have a fuller face I think.

No, his weight fluctuated during Stranger Things.  I think he gained for the show, but there may have been some digital manipulation too.

On Hulu for only 10 more days - 

Secrets of the Octopus.

It’s wonderful.  These creatures are amazing…. So damn smart. 
 

Episodes are about 45 minutes long. Definitely worth watching a few.

I was really surprised to see this was being done by Vince Gilligan.  Wait that isn't as funny.  I was really surprised to see this was being done by David Simon. 

Scene:  African American freedman is walking down an alley in the little town of Walnut Grove carrying his laundry.  Another African American freedman wearing a bowtie confronts him with a very stylish pistol.  They discuss how they are going to get revenge on Stringer after a brief standoff.

I haven't legitimately watched a TV series since Breaking Bad. I started watching Better Call Saul, and it was fine, but somewhere down the line I lost interest in it. I'm sure I'll see the end one day.

I was really upset that Gus wasn't the one that got the spinoff show. If there was ever a cooler villain than Gus, I don't know who it was.

Finish watching Saul then. That’s all I will say.  I liked BCS better and when I put on the AMC stories channel on Amazon prime I watch that. If it’s breaking bad I don’t tune in unless it’s an early episode.

I watched the first season of Cross on Amazon Prime. It's based on the James Patterson books of the Alex Cross series, which I've read. The first season of Cross was really good. The 2nd season? Not so much, way too confusing. Of course, IMO.

I finished The Pitt season two. Excellent show but dropped down my list a bit at the end.

Not a knock on the ending, it was a good season finale. But to stay in BCS/Breaking Bad territory, you have to continue to ascend.

Better Call Saul is better and I’ll die on that hill.

Breaking Bad is about the arc from beginning to end. The character development is unmatched… But BCS on an episode-by-episode basis is just better.
