My wife can really only watch about 30 minutes of a day. We both like it, but I want to respect her pace.durdencommatyler wrote:Oof. Yeah. Tough binge. I think the most I did was four in two days once. And it was not easy.Monkey_Driven wrote:Handmade's Tale, which is a tough binge. Can really only handle a 2-3 episodes a week.
It's just difficult to get into TV during the summer. The days are long, the weather is nice, and the couch just isn't as appealing.

They all felt like "good setup, no payoff". Each episode consistently took the dumbest, most disappointing direction possible.E.H.

Still baffled that there's not a Succession thread. Last night's episode was phenomenal.

Re: What are you currently watching on TV?
yeah, I can see how it could get better. It also gave me a great idea for a story, one that hasn't left my head for three days which is weird, so I may have to actually write it down and work on it.doug rr wrote:it does, i really enjoyed the seriesbune wrote:Started Man in the High Castle and that first episode is a slog.

Re: What are you currently watching on TV?
I'm so excited to dive back in. Read the book then watched the first 4 eps as they aired. Then life got in the way. Now we're going back to finish it.Monkey_Driven wrote:Oh man, I miss the Leftovers.
