Most def nailed the feel of Chicago in the late 70s (what I barely remember), but I'm not sure if I'm enjoying their NW Side accents because they are good or because they are sooo over the top.

I have an issue with the Ryan Murphy shows and I was afraid it was going to be more of that, it this seems more real and gritty

second ep of task was great. my only concern is (sp)

that they don't unrealistically draw this kidnapping out. The cops know the dead guy, they're gonna come knocking on Robbie's door extremely soon in a real world situation.

Also

just finished all 6 seasons of Justified.....hillbilly Shakespeare. I loved every minute of it.

My wife and I have just started The Tudors (second time around for me)....she's enjoying it.

I got her to watch the first episode of Narco's....5 minutes in, she wanted to bail....I said give it 10 more and by the end of the episode she liked it. I warned her that it gets bloody, but the underlying story is really compelling....I don't think she'll make it through the second season, but I can hope.

Has anyone watched Narcos - Mexico? Is it worth it?

The series is remarkably awful in every way, but they surpassed themselves with this episode. It seems like they decided to make the few scraps left of the original story still there as offensive as possible to those who read the books.

I absolutely loved Yellowstone despite thinking I wasn't going to

but I haven't ventured into any of the spinoffs.

and he's now gonna be a US Marshall, which seems to be completely opposite of how they ended his story in the original series.

I also saw that the actress who played his wife isn't signed on to the series, but the actor who played his son is. So I'm guessing they're gonna kill her off or something and that sparks him back into this law enforcement life that he was so desperate to leave

The spinoff I want to see (1923 spoiler)

It would require some sort of King Ralph scenario to play out, but you could have a situation where Kayce and Tate inherit an english estate* they have to maintain.

(*by way of their great great great grandma's family having no living male heirs.)

Christ please tell me that Tate has taken acting lessons. *

strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre contemplating a crime

yeah I'm 5 episodes in and I don't care for her either (sp)

both because of some of the over the top language/translation jokes that seem too...CBS/Chuck Lorrey-y for me (ie, "don't be so self defecating")

but also the character with the backstabbing she's trying to do to Ned

that said...there where characters on The Office and Parks & Rec that I didn't like early on and they developed and changed after a season or two and became likable so I'll be patient

what I've seen so far of the show in total hasn't been bad.

Glad they got the will they-won’t they out of the way early (essentially. I assume S2 will be about them trying to manage dating while he’s her boss)

Would Mare

I need to check it out. I've seen reviews saying it's good so I'm hopeful

The Office and Parks & Rec are two of my favorite shows so I'm optimistic

I've only seen the pilot

but it has a really good tone. The idea of a guy wanting to bring back old school small town newspaper really resonates with me.
