Anyone else watch Brooklyn Nine-Nine? Love that show.

one of my buddies keeps recommending it, I'll have to check it out.

On Ep 4 of AC right now, enjoying it but yea not the tightest script.

just finished it, yeah, lots to like; there were some things that I thought were a bit sloppy with the script but it's visually amazing, plus the plot twists kept things interesting. And oh yeah, I couldn't stop staring at Martha Higareda.

Yeah, it wasn't perfect, but it managed to suck me in and I was hooked by about episode 3 or 4. It as pretty unrelenting, and judging by some interviews from the author, i'm not surprised. Due to the cost of production, there are rumours there won't be a sequel, and even if there is, Joel Kinnaman will not be in it (as per the books). I hope there is though.

I'm not sure if this 1980's dystonia, which is based on Victorian notions of opulence is really still valid in the post-digital, post-globalised world. Things have changed. But it was interesting none the less.

I'm almost done with Altered Carbon, just one episode left, the book is well worth reading

Thought that Altered Carbon was very good.

finally finished season 3 of Hannibal, frakking awesome series, Mads Mikkelson is a pitch-perfect Hannibal Lector, better than Anthony Hopkins.....

in case anyone wants to check out a well done but obscure Canadian series, season two of Mary Kills People is underway.

Anyone watching Waco? Extremely well done.

The second season of American Crime Story started last night -- "The Assassination of Gianni Versace." Awesome start. This series is so well done and cast.

And FYI, "The Alienist" starts next week on TNT, based on the great 1994 novel by Caleb Carr.

Leon's the best part of the series.

No doubt. He stole that show.

Although the Funk man is great too.

And Leon as Larry's assistant was excellent.

Some Netflix thoughts:

Thought Mindhunter was top notch, and well worth the effort. Plus Anna Torv.

The Sinner ... has to be a mini series right? Unless they make a recurring series from the Bill Pullman character ... which I wouldn't recommend. Jessica Biel is the stand out. Saying that, I thought it was darn good thriller. If it had've been a movie (which maybe it should have been) it would have made a decent thriller.

A couple of episodes into Godless, and I'm pretty impressed so far. Jeff Daniels is superb.

It's been good, not great. I thought the first episode was the best ("You got foisted!")

And Leon as Larry's assistant was excellent.
