Finished When They See Us. Such an infuriating experience. if Chernobyl is devastating you, I'd recommend this to completely wreck you.

Meryl Streep is killing it. Probably one of my favorite roles for her.

Wrapped up Black Mirror, I enjoyed all three episodes. I'm glad Trent was willing to be a good sport about using "Head Like a Hole".

Hi the last shot of the best show on television tonight ended with a shot of Paul Giamatti strung up naked suspended on a sex swing while a dominatrix whipped him on the ass while the Elvis Costello cover of "(What's So Funny About) Peace Love and Understanding" played but please enjoy whatever stupid nonsense you watch instead

There is definitely absolutely no reason for a second season fo big little lies but both of the Meryl Streep scenes and all of the pointless Andrea Arnold long shots to music make me so excited we get one.

Season 5 of Black Mirror decided to focus on character relationships over being novel and while that's a noble goal they're not quite there in the writing yet.
Still, consistently very well shot, directed, and acted, though.

I thought Striking Vipers was amazing...right up there with the best Black Mirror episodes. The questions it asked about intimacy, virtual reality, 'what is the definition of cheating', LGBT themes and marriage were fascinating and really well executed.
Smithereens was fine-ish, middle of the road episode for me, and the message couldn't have been more blunt. Phones = bad. For this show it was a pretty direct, basic and unsubtle message.
The Miley Cyrus episode was not good...probably up there with The Waldo Moment as my least favorite Black Mirror. Miley herself was good, thought her acting was great, but the story and writing was really pretty bad.

Getting all worked up about Mad Men not being on this list of the top FIFTY shows of the 2010s. even if you allow that it wasn't as consistently good in the last 3 years, it was still routinely better than most of the shows people hype up

I do think The Leftovers is top 10 (with Breaking Bad) tho.

We've talked about it in here a bit. It hits a near perfect mix of clever, poignant, and sharply written, the writer/star also wrote the first season of Killing Eve. It's a quick binge watch and so worth it.

Fleabag is great. No hesitation putting it on the list. Mad Men is easily top 3 though, a GOAT in every way. The two shows are very unrelated.

Man this Miley Cyrus episode of Black Mirror is so trash. It's like the plot to a Disney Channel Original Movie.

The first episode of Los Espookys was great but its very weird to watch a 30 minute tv comedy where i have to pause to check my phone.

Not sure what to think after the pilot episode of Euphoria.

Finished Jessica Jones. It was pretty decent, imo. Some great continued character development and I didn't feel like there was (as much) needless filler. I would rank season 3 in the top half of the Netflixverse.
I'm really gonna miss these shows, flaws and all. The writers got to visualize some really obscure characters (fucking Mind-Wave?! Who's Mind-Wave?) and even the shitty acting was complimented by some top notch performances at all times.
If we're really lucky, Disney will try to revive some of it or maybe we'll get a newer, more exciting Heroes For Hire type show.

I finished the latest season of Easy last night, I still keep watching for the location spotting but it's a little too aimless to enjoy. Also I saw one of the actors (from the surveillance camera episode) in Andersonville on Saturday and looked him up and apparently his name is Nicky Excitement?

Just started Season 2 of Killing Eve. Really enjoying it. Who knew Sandra Oh could be so engaging?
