The 2nd season of True Detective was horrendous, to put it mildly.
As a stand alone the characters never connected , it was like they were slogging through the series.

I liked season 2 of True Detective.

I've still yet to hear if people liked S3 or not.

Evidently the 2nd Season of True Detective was bad because they had to basically re-write the entire show from scratch shortly before production.

This. I found it hard to watch. I kept hoping it would get better. Turned me off to investing any time in Season 3.

Fingers crossed on Altered Carbon. Hope it's worth the wait. Based on the story line, it could be a looong series if it's done right.

We've been binging Parks and Recreation. I have no idea how I missed that one. Must have been busy with real life when that show was on. My wife turned to me last night and said, Ron Swanson reminds me of *you*.

Ron is the man! Wife got me a copy of his breakfast poster to hang in my office. Not many recognize it, but those that do, I know I will get along with.

In case you missed them also, Hulu has "My name is Earl" and "Raising Hope"

Yay Burt!

Great fun show.

Last thing about Mindhunter, in the scene when they interview Jr., pay special attention to the malapropisms. I near fell out of my chair it was so funny watching Holden's responses & Jim just rolling with it & using the mallomars...


It might not be as funny to some as it was to me because I used to work with a guy like that & near lost my mind trying communicate with him each & every day.

"Raising Hope" is from the same creator, Greg Garcia, as "My Name is Earl." Very similar style between the two shows. I'm into second season of Hope now - Most all the Earl characters have had a cameo and a couple are regulars. Good stuff.

I'll have to check those out. I did like My Name is Earl.
