Another good show that shares an eerie similarity to our current situation is Counterpart. Underrated show that lasted two seasons. Fortunately the final season provides enough closure. Can't get over the fact that JK Simmons looks pretty much the same way he looked in Oz.
Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right.

GoT was great at first but they had no ending. And what they BSed came out as BS and now the entire series is meh imo. The Shield was enjoyable but there wasn't many episodes like The Red Wedding or whatever. It was just entertaining in the way a show like 24 was entertaining. But then the show ran for a long time like GoT and you get invested in the characters and then you get treated with the best series finale ever. Sorry for any lack of clarity. I meant The Shield and GoT are opposites.. they are not the same. Sambakick wrote:

Yeah, the Lost phenomena hahaha...Damon Lindelof seems to have learned his lesson. Judging from the last Stat Wars, JJ Abrams still seems to struggle with endings. On the opposite end of the spectrum, I think Breaking Bad had one of the more satisfying endings in recent history. Although I think the Wire's final season is its weakest, I enjoyed the final episode. Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too.

It’s not bad. final season of The Wire is interesting to me. It was a commercial failure which to me means it just wasn't that entertaining. However, I loved it. I felt like I learned more about how society works watching that than anything else I have ever come across Sambakick wrote:

I figure if I have to be home might as well make enjoy it Got one about 20 years ago, first cookbook I ever bought. It was my dream to study there when I was younger, for a while anyway. Chalk it up to stuff happens,lol. The second book is very dry, but its all about the pairings. Its basically an encyclopedia of pairings. Includes wine as well. Its a go to for a lot of chefs I hear, for inspiration. The last one is a pisser, and very NY. Wouldnt be surprised if Marv knew Shopsin back in the day. The person whon greenlit the book said whe would only do it if he included the recipe for ricotta pancakes. So thats what Im going to try while Im stuck indoors. Next time I shop. Creative recipes with things you normally find in home kitchens. There is a documentary about him on youtube called "I like killing flies" |

I still think the worst ending of any series I liked was the remake of Battlestar Galactica- it was infuriating to discover that after several years of what seemed like carefully plotted build up, that they were just making it up as they went along and had no idea how to explain any of the mysteries! |

Did anyone watch Banshee? Went under the radar but was great- very violent, but really enjoyed it:
Worth watching if it's on any channels you have access to (or worth getting on dvd/blu ray) |
