Billions RULES

Finished S2 of the wire.  Liked it, but liked the first season quite a bit more.

Just catching up on this thread but is this your first time watching the wire? Because if so season 3 and 4 are some of the best TV programs out there. I've rewatched the wire 3 or 4 times and always enjoy it.

Fun fact about season 2...When I first watched it I started working in the office of an intermodal rail yard which was pretty similar to the ports of baltimore in season 2. Anyways they gave me basic training on how the boxes were moved and I was like "Yeah, I know how this works, I've seen the wire"

You would be amazed at how many containers get lost on any given day..Say a train arrives with 150 boxes on it...there would always be at least 1 "sleeper" (elite train transportation slang reference) box on the train that was not on the official manifest. Usually because it was not input correctly into the computer but we would also randomly "lose" boxes in the yard where we stacked the containers until the truckers picked them up and only notice it when someone went looking for it but it was not where it was then they had to drive around the whole facility looking for this one box.  There was alot of manual updates to correct where the computer system thought XYZ123 box was.

Are "boxes" like "cans"?

Yeah it's my first time through.  I'm excited to start S3 -- likely this evening.

Correct.

Season 3 is probably the best season IMO, Omar is back, Marlo is introduced, politics and hamsterdam.

[star seed 7]

S4 is the best, you numbskull

[star seed 7]

But S3 is pretty good too

Somebody Somewhere is so good, it absolutely nails the details about life in MHK.

I am really trying to enjoy this but it is extremely slow.  Does it get better after the second episode?

I haven't seen ep 3.  I am fine with it being how it is, but I do understand people thinking it is slow.

What kind of action are you expecting from a comedy show about someone having a mid-life crisis?

[ChiComCat]

It seems very muted compared to anything I've ever seen Bridget do.  I've enjoyed it.

[Institutional Control]

I'm a big fan of anything the Duplass brothers do.

[Winters]

I started A.P. Bio over the weekend. Some pretty funny stuff at times.

Did she go to KU? Seen a lot of townie cat stuff, but it’s interesting she’s worn a few KU and KU bar shirts during it.

[420seriouscat69]

Nope. Went to Arizona St. Odd.

HBO knows who the monied demographics are.

[Kat Kid]

In the show her character moved back to MHK from lawrence.

Oh, good call. I didn't pick up on that. I get too busy looking for cat/MHK/KC stuff.

Maybe some comedy for one?  I guess I just had different expectations because it is labeled as such. 

[star seed 7]

I've only watched episode 1 and some comedy in the comedy show would probably get me to at least watch episode 2

[Kat Kid]

I have laughed more at this show than a lot of comedies.

[MakeItRain]

I think it's supposed to be cute and it pulls that off, IMO

[BIG APPLE CAT]

i try to objectively take a step back and ask myself, "would i still enjoy this show if i didn't grow up in kansas or attend kansas state university?" and i believe my answer is yes.

[420seriouscat69]

Anybody start Pam and Tommy? What a blast from the past.
