    Black Mirror was ok. More of the same. nothing stood out for me

    Travelers are back - It is ok. Still enough to keep me watching

    Agents of Shield is still high on my priority list. They keep getting better and better - You can skip the 1st three seasons . . .. but the last two have been great

    DAVE CHAPPELLE - His specials are special. Funniest man alive. Current King of Comedy

    Enjoying Godless on Netflix. Always like westerns, this one has pretty good acting (Jeff Daniels chews up the scenes he is in).

    The Chapelle special was hilarious.

    Have you seen Dark yet on Netflix? A little slow at first but very solid.

    The wife made me watch The Marvelous Mrs Maisel on Amazon Prime. It was good.

    I like runaways.

    I loved season 1 of Dirk gently. Season 2 was not as amazing. But stil a lot of fun.

    It's been a terrible half year of television, especially with all of the breaks.

    Looking forward to watching Altered Carbon next month.

    I'm thankful there isn't a lot of good TV on these days. You guys have covered a lot of the stuff I'm already watching on Netflix and on TV. Everything else is mainly holdovers from 2017 that I'm waiting to come back.

    I am excited for:
    The Amazing Race (Don't judge me)
    The Challenge (Don't Judge me)
    Top Chef
    Grown-ish
    (Black-ish spinoff)
    The Fosters (Don't Judge me)
    Black Lightning - I'm getting burned out by the Arrow-verse.
    The Magicians

    Olympics in February.

    *my list sucks with out the good stuff in there

    Never heard of Altered Carbon. This is right up my alley. Netflix still throwing around that cash.

    We're like 8 episodes in on Dark. Good Netflix show. It bothers me that the show defaults to play with English dubbed over the original German; it should default to German with English subtitles. But oh well.

    Still, it's been a great show so far.

    Also, just in case you're interested, the entire series of Frasier is on Netflix. That's been our regular show to have on during dinner for a while now.

    Travelers was vastly improved over S1, which had a whole lot of character development. With that done, S2 was able to move on to much greater things.

    They also added a couple of recognizable actors that fit right in.

    IMO, this show has the potential for a long run.

    I can't stand the dialogues but those teens and their abilities are interesting enough to keep going. #Runaways

    Got better towards the end.

    I try to watch Amazing Race. Curious why it's been off for so long.

    I disagree on AOS. Skip the first 7 episodes. Everything else is fantastic
