Lucifer last 8 episodes of Season 5 dropped on Netflix so finishing that up this weekend.
I just finished watching season 3 and was likewise disappointed that Arkin didn’t return. I actually checked to see if he had died in real life, but thankfully, no, he’s still with us. The plot lines in this season were awfully rushed. And as in season 2, I found Paul Reiser’s character to be unfunny and annoying.
I just finished the last three episodes which are only 25 minutes each tonight. I agree with your comments. It has probably reached its end point but who knows.
Breaking Bad was an amazing show.
I have mixed feelings about it. Visually it’s stunning, really enjoyed the first season. Then it was boring for me, really boring. They slowed it down so much, barely anything happened during a single episode. They could have easily used four or five episodes, made some cuts and used the good parts for a single episode.
If you’re a fan, go ahead and watch it at least once. If you don’t like the movies, you’re not missing much. I forced myself to sit through it when it originally aired and when they cancelled it my first thought was “thank god it’s over”. Then again, there are people who really enjoyed it.
I liked it....got a little drawn out and predictable at time but still was worth watching....know that , after the movies, you know what you're getting into....
Thankfully, season 3 was the end... not impressed with the final season...
‘The Kominsky Method’ says class dismissed with a short but sweet final season | CNN
“The Kominsky Method” has often felt like the anti-sitcom sitcom, a Netflix series that proudly revels in inside-Hollywood references, originally built around a pair of characters whose combined age was roughly 150. The show returns for a shortened final season minus one of them, Alan Arkin, but...
Hannibal was more like a cable series that somehow ended up on a broadcast network. It aired on NBC only because they paid very little for the rights.
The performances were very good, and the visuals were stunning (especially on the small budget they had).
Fuller got a little too indulgent in the later seasons, but I'd try the first one at least. Fishburne, Dancy, and Mads in the same cast? Yes, sir.
It's one series where they still talk about bringing back in some form.
I’m coming to the end of it now. It’s a bit gruesome but I think overall it’s worth a watch. Mads Mikkelsen is brilliant in it. I recommend you watch!

Anyone? I've heard good things just wondering if anyone on here has seen it?

I watched the first episode the other night. Has potential. Winslet is superb.

I’ve watched the whole series and can recommend it. It’s got some great twists and some unexpected funny moments. Winslet is good and gritty, and Jean Smart is funny, wise and heartful. Apparently a lot of work went into the getting the accent right, but I suppose we’ll need confirmation from someone from that area in PA.

I thought it was more than decent and put a bow around the characters nicely.
Lucifer: The last line of dialog by Lucifer in the last episode was perfectly priceless!
Yes, the quality of it is great. The X-Files was one of the first (maybe the first) TV show that had a movie-like production for each episode. Basically, each episode is like a mini movie in terms of production.
Some special effects show their age, but this is rare. Most times you wouldn't even know that there are special effects on a scene.
If you watch the HD version of the show, there are some scenes that the original film was lost, and then there is a cut to SD. Probably less than 2 minutes worth for the first 9 seasons, but still very noticeable, especially when it comes to SFX.
I purchased the Blu-ray collection of the whole series last June, and added them to Plex. My wife and I have been watching it since, and we just finished the 9th season.
The later seasons (7th, 8th, and 9th) were polarizing, some people hated them, but I liked them as well.
Season 10 and 11, well, they are okay, but feel similar to all the other reboots of movies and TV Shows happening lately.
There are also two movies, the first of which is really good, and should be watched in between the 5th and 6th seasons. The second movie is more of a feature lengthen, monster of the week episode. If you do watch the second movie, watch it between season 9 and 10.
I know what you mean, and The X-Files isn't like that.
It is not too procedural. A good mix of monster of the week and then the mythology episodes are more serial-like.
I think you mentioned Fringe in another post. Fringe was probably heavily inspired by The X-Files. Some episode and situations are crazy similar between the two shows. I wouldn't call it copying, but more like a homage to The X-Files.
Actually, IIRC The X-Files is playing on a TV in one of the first episodes of the Fringe series.
I started watching Brooklyn 99, and am in the 4th season.
It is okay. While comedy isn't my usual thing, I have been a little stressed lately, and needed something more light-hearted.
This is the first I watched an episode, but I have seen clips before and it seemed interesting. Although, I was expecting a "Scrubs" style show, just about police instead of a hospital, and it is like Scrubs, but only the goofy comedic parts of Scrubs, especially the later seasons of Scrubs. Not any real drama.
So, not my usual type of comedy show, it is a little brainless, but the upside is that I don't have to watch every second of every episode to know what it going on and get the jokes. Basically, not like Arrested Development, The Office, Archer, etc.
One thing that I hate about the show is Gina. She is by far the worse character of the show, and she gets way more attention than she should.
