    Wife and I are binge watching The Office. Hated it when I first saw it years ago. Just watched the episode where Dwight pretends he is Hannibal Lecter. It was one of the funniest things I've seen in years.

    That's one of my favorite scenes from a TV show ever, it's just perfect.

    The philosophy is really interesting but I feel like the writers let it fall short. The matrix was great, but they had Plato write that philosophy for them. They seem to have some trouble allowing their own philosophy to flourish. I'm also not too hip on the whole having to commit suicide thing either.

    Sense8 is one of those shows that I love/hate.

    Same here. I kind of had to force myself not to give up on the show at times, but the last episode was completely worth it in my opinion. I'm curious to see what they do in the second season.

    I just saw the premiere of Hand of God. It's a new show on Amazon's streaming service. Very dark and awesome!

    A morally-corrupt judge suffers a breakdown and believes God is compelling him onto a path of vigilante justice.


    Hand of God: A Dark, Violent, Vigilante Drama About Religion
    Amazon Studios’s new TV drama focuses on a judge who mysteriously converts to fundamentalist Christianity while pursuing the men who assaulted his daughter-in-law.

    Amazon’s new drama, Hand of God, opens on a nude Ron Perlman cavorting in a fountain and speaking in tongues. Perlman plays Pernell Harris, a judge who’s recently undergone an off-screen conversion to fundamentalist Christianity, and who’s now on a quest to exact justice against the mysterious villains who (unrelatedly) assaulted his daughter-in-law and left his son in a coma. His new faith has also granted him elaborate visions, giving the show some bravura visual sequences to back up the violence that follows.

    Just watched the first episode of "The Blacklist". It was definitely interesting enough to warrant watching episode 2.

    I watched a few episodes of that but I think my standard for crime dramas has changed since watching British shows like Broadchurch, The Fall, Happy Valley, Luther, and Sherlock on Netflix. The Blacklist certainly isn't bad and Spader was great in the episodes I saw but the writing just isn't nearly as good as the shows I listed in my opinion.
