School me, begin watching it or pass?

It's an excellent show, some of the stuff reminds me of my time doing drug work, some very funny stuff as well. Great cast, great characters.

agreed. you need to fully commit to season one. i had a couple stop / restart efforts as well, but it really starts clicking about midway through season one. and it just continually builds over all 4 seasons.

dont get me wrong, there are some amazing stand-out episodes, but 'the wire' seems to be the classic example of the whole being greater than the sum of the parts.

I took a little road trip yesterday to our PA property. I couldn't seem to shake the feeling that Dexter would come running out of the woods and through the field wearing his coveralls toting a rifle. Can you see him?

I actually liked it - I give it 7 out of 10. I was worried it was going to end with some lame explanation, but it was decent.

I'll wait a year until I can buy Dexter on Amazon. Weeds is one of my favorite shows. The other good Showtime show is Homeland.

I wrapped it up last night. So I do like the main character. He's a solid actor. Had some good support as well.
The storyline is choppy. Way too slow for my tastes. And the overall premise is not a favorite of mine. But now I will have to see what Season 2 brings...

Just finished the first two, can't wait to see how they plan to handle the Serpent this season.

I have high hopes for this! I like the lead character. He's from TITANS on HBOMax

First episode was very good. Definitely plan to continue on.

Been watched Boba Fett. The last 2 episodes have made me realize that The Mandlolrian is way better (and I don't even care about baby Yoda). Waaaay too many throwbacks in yhe storyline.

Ya, I suspected as much. Didn't get excited about them showing up in The Mandalorian and was surprised they got a spinoff. Didn't start watching it yet but will eventually.

I love that cute little green bugger though. Who doesn't? How could you?!

I didn't mind the long cameo and am not opposed to a Boba Fett show. It's more that the Boba Fett show has broken continuity due to the frequent, long flashbacks. Not sure the bounty hunter turned gang boss works either.

Two episodes of Reacher last night, really enjoying it so far.

We actually binged through 5 episodes over 2 nights. Really like it as well.

After finishing the first book THEN I decided to give it a try on TV. I'm entertained! I was a little surprised by the number of nipples I saw in the "transformation" of Yennifer episode
