Caught the first episode of Sharp Objects and we're enjoying it. Haven't watched last night's yet. Kinda funny to see the girl from IT who plays Beverly playing Adams character as a child, considering Amy Adams was being considered for the adult Beverly role in IT Pt. 2.
Also finished Handmaid's Tale S2 and agree with wanny, that finale was frustrating. I still think this show is one of the best going right now, but that ending makes me fearful of where they take the series now.

Me and Javo are. I'm a sucker for slow-burn shows Yes, so far so good! Second episode was a bit slow IMHO but still managed to keep me glued to the tube. One of Adams' best performances in years!

I’ve caught the first episode of sharp objects and am intrigued. Worth noting that if anything related to self harm is a trigger for you this show is probably a bad call for you.
That being said, I do really enjoy it thus far. How much have they had to pay for all the Led Zeppelin songs they’re using do you think?

I mean you kind of had to figure it wouldn't end so cleanly but it was frustrating for sure. Also probably not a ton of formula available on the underground railroad so not feeling great about Nicole(?)'s chances getting to Canada. Scary how much babby Amy looks like grown Amy.

We binged GLOW S2 last weekend (I think it was last weekend?) and I thought it was more engaging than S1. Better emotional depth, more interesting story, etc. Though the #metoo subplot felt tacked on.

Both the Happy Endings and Community blu-ray box sets are coming out soon, at about $10 a season, and I don't know if I can say no to that.

Season 3 of Rick and Morty I felt was solid. I didn't like the Pickle Rick episode at first - the body/rat count just made me go wtf - but I dig it now. The Rick/Jerry episode with the Whirly Dirly and Morty's Mind Blowers were the other favorites for me.
Still watching The Sopranos, almost done with Season 5.
Girlfriend and I started watching The Handmaid's Tale. She's read the book, I have not. We're both enjoying it.

Season 3 also had the worst fucking episode of the whole series which is the one where Beth is in froopy land or whatever. I’ve never rolled my eyes so hard as I did at : “I’m a monster” “Worse... you’re smart” You know every cringy ass fan boy with a superiority complex was cranking themselves off to that shit.

...I still liked that one because of Tommy Middleditch and how fucked up it was.
Really any time they try to discuss Rick's genius is obnoxious because it is just Harmon projecting... but you kind of have to buy into that just to enjoy the show.

This is a fair assessment but at the same time the episode didn’t really add anything to show and everything about the dialogue felt incredibly rushed to me. The B plot was pretty dumb as well

the intern-y nephew guy in Succession saying "actually now that I cashed my paycheck I'm very rich" so earnestly was hilarious. v good casting I'm catching up and just finished this episode. This show has gotten really really good. The last half of this episode was incredibly tense and very well done. I look forward to watching this more as it goes on.

Finished Ozark last night, little bit of a weak ending but I'm still excited for season 2 next month.

As long as no one picks one of the Marvel series I think we're good here.

Haven’t seen GLOW yet, but my picks would be BoJack and Stranger Things.

Bojack is almost certainly my favorite but if season 2 of GLOW is as good as everyone is saying, and it continues to have good seasons, I could see it being widely regarded as the best Netflix show before long. I hadn’t started season 2 of master of none before all the Aziz shit happened and I really have not been able to sit down and watch it since

If anyone is done with Handmaid's Tale and is looking for another Hulu show with strong female leads I recommend Harlots. It's about two dueling brothels in 1700s London but also how sex work was one of the few things that offered economic independence for women and POC.
It's a little salacious (obviously) and there's some violence but it's a lot lighter than Handmaid's.
