I enjoyed WACO. I think you will too.
Oh, I whole heartedly agree. I've thought it was better than BB since S1 of BCS.

It truly is outstanding television. I think VG gets better and better at making television and telling this story as this all progresses. But I can't I say I loved BCS in S1, for me it took a bit to find its groove.

They're pretty different series, so I find it pretty difficult to say that one is better than the other, but they are both certainly in the 10 best tv dramas of the last 10 maybe 15 years.
I'm working my way through season 5, it may be the best one yet.
My husband called up a repair place for them to look at our now-completely-dead-rip-fried-circuit-board dishwasher. He and the guy who was scheduling started talking, because what else do you do in social isolation but talk to total strangers to feel something again. The guy recommended that we watch both, but he told us that we should do it in chronological order. He recommended that we watch Saul first and we would get a mini introduction into the characters in Breaking Bad. So that's what we're doing. I'm curious to see how my experience will be different from yours since you watched them in the other order--or maybe it doesn't really matter because good tv is just good tv.
Wow, that's a pretty cool idea. If I hadn't already watched BB twice through I might do that too.

Your mileage may vary on NHIE. It's not awful, I just expected/hoped for something slightly better. I never watched more than a couple of episodes of The Mindy Project either, though, so I can't even say if it's on par with that.
Reports are coming in that we will have a lack luster fall tv season.
Many TV productions have been shut down due to COVID-19, and the content won't be there for new shows in the fall.
The CW has said its popular shows will not be returning for a new season this fall. Instead they are picking up content from streaming networks (Swamp Thing & Tell Me a Story). They will be also picking up a few shows from other countries.
FOX has said much of the same. They will be picking up a show that originally a Spectrum original last year and another show that Aired on National Geographic last year.

Didn't Swamp Thing get canceled after just one or two episodes had been released? That'll be a ratings bonanza.

I mean it wasn't cancelled because it wasn't popular.

Yeah, but if your diehards have already paid to see it, and the casuals know there's no chance of ever getting any more...who's it for? I'd be more interested if they were bringing us Doom Patrol or Titans.

Know what, I’m gonna walk this back a little. We watched the other half of the season tonight, and about halfway through it takes a bit of a turn for the better. Not perfect, but better than I thought at first.
Got hooked on the show "His Dark Material" last night. Binge watching it now.
There's also a few books you can pick up if you like this one.

Mad Men is leaving Netflix next month, and the world continues to get worse.
Finished His Dark Material. Really looking forward to season 2 which I hear is still on track for later this year.
Will likely start reading the books as well.
Watching Sharp Objects now.

I actually read those because of you guys talking about them in the context of that show and thoroughly enjoyed them. So, thanks!There's also a few books you can pick up if you like this one.

Any word on where it will end up? My money is on either Hulu or HBO Max.

Thinking about grabbing the complete set on blu ray because I don't trust any of these fucking things anymore.

Yeah, if it isn’t readily available moving forward I will just Torrent the series. I already own the DVDs I am not gonna buy it again.

Does that mean the Cartoon Network stuff will be leaving Hulu? I've been rewatching Venture Bros and had planned on going all the way through Adventure Time again soon. Meanwhile I've been wondering what the incentive for a Max sub will be if I already have HBO.
