It’s an incredibly polarizing show. I personally loved it, but have talked to quite a few people who absolutely hated it as well. Doesn’t seem to be much in between.
I think Altered Carbon is great. Lodge 49 is also tops, but it'll never see a season 3.

Are you trying to ruin my weekend? It's absolutely my favorite show on TV right now. If they don't give it a 3rd season, I at least hope this week's episode wraps up everything (it won't).

OPM season 2 is not available to stream in English yet (or wasn't as of two weeks ago)
AS allowing non subscribers to stream current episodes is something I need to learn about. If AS ever allow me to subscribe to them directly at a reasonable rate, then my reason for having cable pretty much goes away. Last I checked that was not an option. I had to go third party. I've mostly been watching Hulu pricing (currently called Hulu Live) options. The price hasn't made sense... though might change as Hulu is starting to be bundled with other services, like Sprint. If Hulu/Sprint put a dent in Live costs then everything changes.
Watched the last episode tonight. I hadn't realized that it was canceled unexpectedly and ended on a cliffhanger. The internet tells me that because it wasn't a SyFy original, they couldn't monetize it, so they killed it despite having decent ratings and costing them nothing to produce. Efforts to wrap things up with a short 4th season came to naught.
No idea how I missed this, but the show was officially cancelled about two weeks after I wrote that post. As if this timeline couldn't get any worse. Still a great show to watch and quite uplifting. Would recommend, even now.Smoove_B wrote: ↑Tue Oct 15, 2019 1:14 pm Season 2 ended for Lodge 49, and while it could serve as a series ending I hope it does not. That is seriously one of the most uplifting shows on TV. I actually felt *good* after finishing the S2 finale last night. I feel like this is easily one of the most underrated shows on TV.
Mrs. Skinypupy and I watched this last night. And you’re right, that was both devastating and uplifting. After a so-so final season, I thought they went out on a really great note. Been thinking about it quite a bit today, which is uncommon for a sitcom.
Season 2 premiere is tonight and I think it will then air on Hulu tomorrow or something. I can't pretend to understand how this stuff works.
This is correct. Tonight at 10 PM Eastern on FX, and tomorrow on Hulu. 2 episodes, too!
It's a shame Parks and Rec takes about a season and a half to really get things together because I think it's one of my favorite shows - but it's a tough to tell someone "it's great but not until after 10-15 episodes".Skinypupy wrote: ↑Fri Nov 08, 2019 1:55 pm I had tried to get into Parks & Rec a couple times, but it just never worked for me. I had only made it to the second episode, mainly because Aziz Ansari's character drove me nuts.
I needed a new binge, so I gave it one more shot this week...and it finally clicked. Finishing up Season 2 now, and find it hilarious. Only 5 more seasons to go!
Yeah, it does start to hit its stride somewhere in the middle of season 2 once they figure out Leslie Knope's character, but it really takes off once Chris Traeger and Ben Wyatt shows up and Mark Brendanawicz leaves. Which is wild, since Paul Schneider got 3rd billing the two seasons he was on!Exodor wrote: ↑Wed Apr 15, 2020 5:33 pmIt's a shame Parks and Rec takes about a season and a half to really get things together because I think it's one of my favorite shows - but it's a tough to tell someone "it's great but not until after 10-15 episodes".Skinypupy wrote: ↑Fri Nov 08, 2019 1:55 pm I had tried to get into Parks & Rec a couple times, but it just never worked for me.

Yeah, I tried watching that a few months ago and I don't think I made it through more than a half hour. It has moments of brilliance, but it's mostly incoherent. Very confusing to follow too.
