I really didn’t mind Defenders, but we’re very behind as well. One episode into Punisher. I’ve heard good things about JJ2, LC2, and IF2, though. I gave up on JJ2 around episode 5. Same with this latest IF. Luke Cage S2 is entertaining enough but I think the biggest problem that they've refused to remedy is none of these shows need to be as long as they are. Six eps per season would be lovely. They cut IF2 to ten episodes but even that feels generous. Defenders starts strong but the last 2-3 are rough. They must have wasted the fight choreographer's time on the Rand building hallway brawl because when they has to fight the Hand bosses everything was very dull and uncoordinated. Punisher is actually not bad.

Vincent D'Onofrio as Kingpin this is honestly the only thing that keeps me coming back to Defenders shows at this point (other than David Tennant as Killgrave)

Anyone watching the new season of Always Sunny?
1st episode was underwhelming but the 2nd and 3rd are great.

I watched AHS: Murder House for the first time because the whole series is a big cultural blind spot and im a big 9-1-1 guy and boy oh boy does it start off interesting than completely lose steam with the most obvious plot twists.

This could fit under a few threads, but Max Richter will be performing the score from The Leftovers in NYC on Departure Day, October 14th. That is fantastic.

Let’s see how they do a Crazy Rich Asians sketch without any Asian cast members.

Finished the second season of The Returned. Final episode wasn't great, but overall the series was terrific and I highly recommend it to any sci-fi/horror fans. Incredibly well acted and shot. And the intro is one of the best i've seen on TV.

yesterday i showed up to work and the building was surrounded with flashing lights, fire trucks, etc. but also a rigging truck and craft services. Chicago Fire filmed outside all day and people were transfixed by it. there was a crowd either along the windows or on the sidewalk whenever i walked by. women in the building were like "i saw taylor!" and yet nobody actually seemed like a fan.
typical conversation:
"do you watch it?" "i've seen a couple episodes."

I realize it's since been cancelled, but I just started watching The Exorcist TV show w/ Geena Davis on Hulu, and it's surprisingly well done. Plus it looks like it was actually filmed in Chicago, as opposed to using a set piece and filming in Vancouver.

Don't know if this appeals to anyone else but Netflix has a show premiering called Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat which will be hosted by Samin Nosrat who wrote a book by the same name. Essentially what she does is break down the "why" of cooking. Why things react the way they do, why things taste better with different ingredients. It's very similar to Alton Brown's scientific approach to cooking. Anyways, the book changed how I cook entirely and has made me significantly better at it (and the back third of it that's all recipes is phenomenal), I'm very excited for the TV show

Last weeks Always Sunny was one of the best ever and this weeks last 5 minutes was among the funniest 5 minutes ever on the show. Even when it seems like the show might be getting shakier it comes back 100% wild stuff.

I forgot about AP Bio for months after the underwhelming premiere, but I finally gave the second episode a shot and it was legit great. Probably gonna fly through the rest of the season this week.

Can’t tell if that’s the actual name of a show or if Xam macro’d it out for a string of words.
