Two episodes into Maniac.

Is this show worth continuing?

if you don't like the first two or three eps you should probably discontinue

I have a couple of friends that I trust with stuff like this and they each said that the ending is outstanding. They weren't really into the first few episodes (other than Fukunaga's outstanding direction/pictures). But they ended up loving the last couple of episodes and ultimately said they were glad they watched it.

It is a slow burn, but I've watched 2 episodes and have been very intrigued and into it.

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.

The Haunting of Hill House is about what you would expect. Basically American Horror Story with the F word.

I'm reluctantly watching the rest of Maniac.

Good acting. Good dialogue. But the story and the way they've structured it is really fucking stupid.

started Sabrina. It was cool.

Hill House is still resonating in my head, what a brilliant show.

for those who like British drama, The Bodyguard is good. Only 3 episodes in and so much has happened. All killer no filler with this show.

I just added it to the list last night, but we’ve not started it yet.

We started The Good Place last night. Pretty forking good so far.
