My son is home sick for the second day and just informed me the new season of Big City Greens just hit. IMO they jumped the shark a bit a season or two ago by moving back to the country, but I still find the show delightful. Sorry about the spoilers for those that aren't caught up.

I started watching snowfall a couple of weeks ago and am enjoying the heck out of it.

I binged Baby Reindeer and I'm pissed, especially when I finished the last episode at 5AM

Ms TBT had seen it but we binged the whole thing last week. There's a lot to unpack in that short of a series.

new season of slow horses

Im slugging my way through season 1 and it hasn't grasped my cahones yet. Just going to keep going.

I think s2 is better than s1.

I heard people who know the movie well haven't loved the series, and vice versa. Is there any truth to these allegations?

They're just totally different. I like both but the show is so gorgeous

Damn dude, this may have been the understatement of the year. S2 grabbed and squeezed and never let go.

Good to hear. The show was good but I thought the main plot was kind of weak

Yeah. The short seasons make it a little bit hard to really flesh out characters.

Jackson Lamb is a really good TV character. I didn't fully appreciate him until S2.

S3 of industry isn't really hitting for me. Not sure why but maybe because it's less focused on Harper.

Will the first two seasons grab me? I watched the first 2-3 episodes but nothing yet.

I liked season 2 the best kind of like Slow Horses but season 1 was pretty good.

Chimp Crazy has my balls. Comparisons to Tiger King are spot on, and 2.5 episodes in it's just as entertaining.

Did someone in this thread push back on the idea that the main chick had some mental issues? Because I think that's overwhelmingly obvious.

IIRC, MIR pushed back on it.

I may start Chimp Crazy this week.

Was just wondering if this holds up. Around season 4 it started exhausting me but I'm feeling like picking it up from there.

I've enjoyed The Big Door Prize on AppleTV. A machine shows up in a town that tells people their potential and people cope with finding out. Chris O'Dowd and Mary Holland are funny as usual but Josh Segarra is hilarious/great in it and is really hilarious/great in everything.

6 hours of Vince McMahon being a dirt bag? Yes please

GF and I binged The Perfect Couple. Pretty good murder mystery. Takes a little bit to get it's feet underneath it but plenty of plot twists, dead ends, etc to make you constantly trying to figure who dunnit. Worth it imo for something relatively short (6 total episodes).

Started Veep the other night. Up there with 30 Rock and Archer in terms of speed of dialogue.
