we finished S2 yesterday..amazing series
We're purposefully taking our time, savoring it. We're 4 eps in. 4 (the one in the Catskills) was pure bliss.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Just finished off watching House of Cards and The Haunting of Hill House last night.
Loved Hill House, although the ending left me a little disappointed
House of Cards needed Spacey, the whole final season was lacking and the in the last couple of episodes the writing just got plain lazy
"I really enjoy sandwiches but the other guys are so good at making sandwiches that I don't make them. Now I make sandwiches."

It was so good. Especially in 4k with HDR.
Costume & choreography isn't really even my thing, but I was drawn in by how effortlessly stylish every scene felt. I could watch the move-in scene over and over again. The plot of the season barely moved along, but every scene was bursting with color and characterization. Abe's bloody marys & Susie's cafeteria hustle...
