I'm pretty upset Making History was canceled on Fox. Leighton Meester is a total babe. Show premise was pretty great too.

You told me to give it a shot, and I did. Watched two episodes and just couldn't get into it.

Anybody check out the show "Genius" on NatGeo yet? There's only been 4 episodes, but I find it interesting.
 
Mindhunter season 2 is dope. Just finished the last episode. Definitely one of my favorite current shows. Netflix better give me a season 3!

Arrested Development, Parks and Rec, The Office.

I have tried and tried and tried to get into Parks and Rec, but to me it's one of the most boring shows I've ever watched. I never laughed.

On the flipside, the Office is one of the funniest shows ever. And it's got the same "style"..
 
Derry Girls on Netflix is very good. It is not even, but the first episode in season 1 and the first episode in season 2 (as far as we got so far) are hilarious.

Watch with subtitles if you do not speak Irish ;)

It doesn't start getting good until the end of season 2, that's probably the worst part it starts off very slowly. Their are quite a few things in season one especially that get ret-conned later on. For the longest time my friends would try to get me into Parks and Rec and I couldn't get into it either.

Arrested Developement though is amazing.

I may try again.

AD I may have to try again too... I may have just not gotten the humor... I dunno. I watched about 6 episodes and I couldn't really get into it. But I definitely see the appeal.

I was the same way when I first tried P&R, I didn't like it at all. I ended up trying again, but starting with like episode 20 of season 2. It might be episode 18 or 19.. whichever one introduces Rob Lowe and Adam Scott's characters. The show needed those characters and became amazing after their arrival.

Edit: just looked it up and it's actually episode 23 of season 2. I've since gone back and rewatched the show a few times now from the actual beginning but that episode is the beginning of the show actually being great.

I always think of AD like Napoleon Dynamite, the first time I watched the first three seasons I was mostly confused (there were definitely funny moments), but every time afterward you realize how much self-referencing it does, and how the writing is so subtle, it's my favorite show by far.

I like Napoleon Dynamite now! The first time I watched it, I have distinct memories of looking at my girlfriend at the time and saying, "What the **** was that?"
It was until the 2nd time I appreciated it lol.
 
The News Hour, All In, Hardball, Meet the Press, The Global Public Square, KATU nightly news, The Deadliest Catch, Wheeler Dealers, Good Eats.
 
Holy shit. I just binged Devs on "FX on Hulu" all today. It's the best show I've seen in years. Highly recommend to all fans of Sci-fi, but especially if you've liked the creator of the show's other work (Ex Machina, Annihilation, Sunshine).

I like Westworld.

I watched season one of Westworld when it came out and wasn't blown away.. Just watched the first episode of season two and I'm not captivated. They're different shows but idk, it's just no where near as good as Devs in my opinion. But I've heard good things about season 3 of Westworld so I'll stick with it.

Have you been watching season 3? I think it is VERY interesting. The metaphysical philosophy behind it is very fascinating. Don't want to go into spoilers, but it is very interesting to see the world outside of the park. I think it all adds up to be honest!

Yes. I think it’s great. Much better than season 2.

I used to calibrate and repair the instruments used on Battlestar Galactica. I don't know what those idiots did but I had lots and lots of work repairing all the instruments they used for their backdrop. Yes, I single handedly kept that show going.
