I was looking forward to The Sinner's third season a lot. The first one was so unique, then the second one was totally different.
Three episodes into season 3 I've given up. Either I've moved on, or it's gotten way less interesting on the psychological level. Now it seems to be just another crime/mystery show.
At the other end of the scale, I was super suprised by the documentary series McMillions about the cheating scandal in McDonald's monopoly promotion where you'd win money for getting rare monopoly cards.
The folks interviewed are just entertaining and the story is way more interesting than I'd remembered from articles I've read previously.
Would recommend.
Normal TV watching this week... but one series that slipped through the cracks is WAYNE from Youtube.
It's a little violent at times, but if you were okay with Boardwalk Empire, it'll be fine.
Better Call Saul is back and is... well, it's so consistent. I don't think any show has maintained such a tempered pace for so long. I love the aesthetic of this series and I think they've really improved on the overall tone from Breaking Bad without completely separating from it.
Seconded for Better Call Saul. I’ve been waiting for it to reach the point that Breaking Bad had where it went from bumbling around with chemistry to hardened criminals unafraid of using violence. I haven’t seen BCS hit that point yet and I’m not complaining either. Bob Odenkirk maintains the same fun atmosphere of shady lawyering that he had from the beginning. The Gus Fring storyline progresses at a steady pace and provides more depth to the interactions we see in BB. Overall, one of my favorite current series and glad to see it back.
I never would have thought the storyline surrounding the construction of the secret lab would be so thrilling and full of suspense. Possibly the first construction storyline that's had me on the edge of my seat.
I'm so glad we get so much from Mike. What a fantastic, fearless, principled-yet-split character. I really hope we get more Mike-centric episodes this season.
My only criticism is that I don't think they should show any cinnamon buns. I'm trying to stay off sugar, and they're not helping.
WAYNE was a fun romp. If you liked it you may enjoy "End of the f***ing world", a British thing put out by Channel 4. https://www.channel4.com/programmes/the-end-of-the-fing-world
oh man, a bunch of people in my tv club watched that and liked it. I should give it a swing. You and I seem to be around the same page with TV, too, so that's a good sign. :)
I always mixed that name up with You, Me and the Apocalypse, which I suspect is completely different.
