Cool people die horrible, preventable deaths.
I'm finding it dwindling a little mid-season 2 - there have been a couple of episodes where the songs have been a bit meh, around the time Rebecca and Paula's friendship is faltering, and when the new guy comes into the company. I trust it'll pick up in a bit though. I did like the song about the new owner, being all meta about whether he's just there to pick up flagging ratings and if he'll be gone in 3 episodes
Well, conversely the songs in S3 E2 are all really good, but it feels like it's at the expense of the rest it, I may have spoken to soon when I said we were off to a good start ...

So many particulars. So many questions.
I enjoyed 'Being Canadian' because it made me laugh, one comedian bloke does a roadtrip across the canadian provinces to find out what it means to be canadian. Fluff really, theres no history or politics* but he see's lots of things and talks about canadian myths and so on to famous people. Shatner was as ever on another planet.
* he did mention that the Canadians like to claim they burned down the Whitehouse during the war of 1812. But maties, you did that under the flag of britain, king george commands and ye obey.

And Washington was occupied by an expeditionary force sent from Wellington's Peninsular Army, so not Canadian at all.

I'd give Banshee a try, you'll know after the first couple of episodes whether it's for you or not.
EDIT - scratch that, I missed I was on the Netflix thread, don't think it's on there unfortunately.

One interesting thing about the show is it gives me curious earworms.
All day today I've been wandering around singing under my breath "I gave you... a UTI."

That's a great show . There needs to be more episodes of this now because I've watched them all. not enough for a proper weekend binge . Doubt I'll ever be watching it with my mum though ..not that I've got mum issues or anything .
I started watching Hannibal after that one . Mads Mikkelsens very good in it , basically carries the show, Lawrence Fishburne is ok . Has his moments . The guy playing the Will Graham character however seriously gets on my tits . Keeps gurning, looks like he'd scream if someone popped a paper bag . The original Graham character in Red Dragon was a troubled soul but mostly brooded quietly and sullenly ...This guys just fucking doolally and keeps endlessly whinging about how much his job / gift upsets him, while pulling endless faces . Don't like him and can't suspend my disbelief sufficiently when he's doing his thing . Some good storylines though around the first killers daughter and still worth watching for the performance Mikkelsen puts in . Almost seems like someone wrote a good half to every episode for the Lecter character and someone else wrote a slightly crap other half . Sticking with it in hope .
Eddie Izzard also gave me suspension of disbelief issues too . And that mushroom garden bit almost made me boke .

He's one of those actors who I'll watch anything he's in - always good value.

Watched the whole of American Vandal last night. Mrs Frank was not happy with the ending but I thought the whole thing was pitched perfectly, played almost completely straight and relying on satirical touches more than obvious jokes.
There are some real ideas and themes in it too, about the petty villainy and corruption of teachers and the absurdity and arbitrary cruelty of school in general.

Yes, very good. I binge watched (sorry, OU) the first ten episodes over the weekend, and have just one to go. Like others have said a bit slow burning, but good story and very solid performances.

Just finished Mindhunter.
Quality Fincher. My youngest daughter (22) is a bit obsessed with serial killers, starting to see the fascination myself now. That was pretty compelling. I was a bit meh about the protagonist's social lives but it expanded well and kept within the dialogue.
Apparently it was filmed with a specific camera to give it its look.

I was checking out Ed Kemper on Wiki. It's disturbing how intelligent, polite and agreeable such a man is said to be.
I thought the actor who plays him was fucking great. Then again I cannot particularly fault any performance on that series. I am glad to see a second season has been commissioned.

Funnier than he thinks he is.
Watched "The Long shot" in a similar vein about a man wrongly accused, and only way he can prove his innocence is to find himself on film watching a Dodgers game!

I started watching it! It took me a couple of episodes to realise it's meant to be set in the 70s? I love it when TV shows go for subtlety with historic character costumes and scenery, rather than everyone parading about in platforms and flares... it just feels a bit more genuine.

My broadband is down. I was planning on bingeing on Star Trek TNG. 
I've been onto the provider. It better be up again in time for The Good Place tomorrow.
