Succession has been great. It's worth getting a subscription for a month on HBO. Barry was also really good as well as Sharp Objects.

I really liked Succession too. Some great characters — Kieran Culkin was hilarious. I gave up on Barry — not that good in my opinion.

Anybody else watching Escape at Dannemora on Showtime? Good stuff — I always was fascinated with Escape from Alcatraz and this is similarly awesome. It’s worth watching for the beginning scene of episode 5 alone.

True Detective Season 3 looks like it's going to be great.

Did you watch both episodes? They aired two on Sunday night.

I agree it looks good so far. Definitely back to the roots of the season 1.

Only watched the first one and planned on watching the second last night. Then had to work late instead.

I like the way they are structuring things in the 3 different time periods, and how things seem to bleed between them for the main character.

He's got some "memory problems".

He's got some "memory problems".

The first episode seemed to be going toward the exact story line of the West Memphis 3. If you have seen the documentary about that case (Paradise Lost), it is really close to the same story line. Even down to them commenting on the kids Black Sabbath shirt.

[old_gregg]

caught up. this is going to be an awesome season.

[Jeff Lebowski]

Uh... guys. It is 2019 now.

[All-American]

Uh... guys. It is 2019 now.

And we still have gender inequality?!

I’m worried TD is moving a little slow and the 3 different time periods will be a lot to tie together. Still all in but season 2 game me PTSD. I’m nervous.

[old_gregg]

crashing is great

season 2 was garbage because it was distilled pizzolatto self indulgence. the only reason s1 is the best tv season of all time is that mcconaughey and woody are what they are and fukunaga could tell pizz that his circlejerk first year mfa dialogue was just a starting point. it’s funny that it takes basically a silent protagonist to get us back to good true detective.
