I've only seen the first two episodes, but I think this will be the season I finally give up on the show. None of it is bad, it's just deeply uninterested in building to anything and I can't trust in the show anymore.

I just watched the BBC Bodyguard show and every episode is written by one dude. Americans need better work ethic.

Right! I don't know who is writing Black Earth Rising, but it's been 3 episodes and it feels like i'm on the sceond season.

Rossum is reportedly out after this season, so it'll likely be my last as well if it keeps going without Fiona.

Prediction: in the next 10 years or so, as 2000s nostalgia gets as big as 90s nostalgia is now, we will see a Firefly: The Next Generation-esque show where old Mal sells Serenity to a new plucky crew or something.

After a few more years pass and people finally realize the 90s actually sucked nostalgia will finally die.

Hugo Blick averages eight episodes of television every four years, so he's not exactly a representative case.

(You should check out The Honourable Woman and The Shadow Line, he wrote/directed both of them as well.)

I did think Maniac was a bit front-loaded. The dreams in the first half were a lot more fun than the ones in the latter half, I'd say.

Yeah, I was picking up what Maniac was throwing down for the first few episodes, but I found myself growing less and less interested as the episodes went on.

Because we're two 'Gates and counting.

I disagree that either of those are anywhere close to being able to be considered “women’s geek spaces”. Like Firefly, what?

idk it doesn't sound too off to me. Most of the people I personally know who are huge into Firefly or Whedon in general are women.

Sherlock idk. I'd imagine it's an even split, but the people who get super into shipping/fanfic, so straight chicks and gay dudes, are just the ones people hear about more. Unlike Supernatural which I imagine is 100% a lady dominated fanbase.

Ozark is a pretty decent show but I really don't like how loving dark (literally) it is. Turn some god drat lights on or something jeez. Also the green filter that they slap on everything is way too strong. I get that they want to have a particular feel to the show, but it's just poo poo.

I'm pretty much watching Ozark just to see Laura Linney killing it. She's doing a lot of the heavy lifting in that show acting-wise.

I think we all skipped over the fact that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is a writer for a new Veronica Mars television show. His Mycroft Holmes books are apparently great and a lot of fun, so regardless of how good you think the show is in the first place, he's a really drat cool choice.

I saw the first episode. I’m not a fan, but if you’re into cozy mysteries like Monk (same creator, Andy Breckman), it’s probably not going to kill you.

I think Tony Danza even sings the theme song, and it feels kind of warm and cute. It’s that kind of show, you know?

I googled this to see what you were talking about and came across a review from a website called 'Pajiba' that featured a review of the show titled "NBC's 'Manifest' Review: Boooooo! Booooo! Boooo!". That made me laugh.

So, did I read this right? The good cop is a show about a rare kind of cop, who isn't quite as corrupt. This promptly gets him framed, so his dad has to bail him out with real policework (tm)

He's also guest starring on the final season of i,Zombie which, I assume, is how he got this job.

Kareem is cool and has led a really interesting life. Check out the HBO doc Kareem: Minority of One (it's available on Go) even if you aren't a basketball fan.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

I was actually coming in here to ask if anyone else had bothered to watch Manifest, because goddamn, I haven't seen an hour of TV that loving incompetent in a long time and I think I'm kind of in awe.

That's not even remotely accurate. This is one of the few shows I've seen that doesn't fellate the notion of cops breaking the rules to get justice as being a 100% positive thing.

It's basically a early 2000s USA style procedural focusing on the characters and their relationships rather then tightly scripted drama. There's little to no overarching plot (aside from the mysterious hit and run death of the wife) and its just Tony Danza being Tony Danza and Josh Grobin doing a serviceable job as a put-upon clean cut golden boy Lt Detective who has to live with the reality of this father having been the most corrupt cop in history.

Aside from Tony the other major source of comedic relief is Clay Davis as the detective who's number one rule is "I don't run".

Just finished up rewatching Happy Endings.

Prob my favorite recent sitcom. And Brad is def one of my fav sitcom characters.

They made a show with a cast entirely made up of the kooky friends found in more normal shows.

e: the episodes were only getting better by the end of S3.
