| ![]() “The Goldbergs” has a spin-off now called “Schooled” where Barry’s girlfriend Lainey comes back to the same school as a music teacher. Got this from Wiki so unsure where it is being telecast here. “Better Call Saul” grows on you as you reach the later seasons. Give it a chance, it is good. |

Curb Your Enthusiasm is the true re-birth of the show Seinfeld, just that from season 4 onward it simply set the comedy bar much higher, Larry David is the only comedian who can get away with blatant racism, gender-shaming, stereotypes pertaining to each race, religionism, etc etc.. the fun he poked at every systemic evil is downright jaw-dropping. This show gave me belly aches every time I watched. Special mention to 4 previously unknown people who got together to make It's always Sunny in Philadelphia, like Curb the episodes got funnier and more controversial as the seasons passed, and with the addition of Danny DeVito, things truly got weird, in a great way. These three are the holy trinity of comedies. | |

| ![]() Finished Season 2 of The Punisher. Overall okay, because you've are already 5-6 episodes into it, you are almost compelled to finish it. I did not like the pace of the last 3-4 episodes it seemed hushed to an end. For some odd reasons I don't understand how people keep waking from so many bullets ![]() |

| ![]() How to get away with Murder - Watched Season 1. Interesting murder-crime-thriller. However, the editing seems rushed and things are over-simplified. Also, the climax is poor. Can be watched if you love the genre. Rating - 7/10 Daredevil Season 3 - WOW. Never expected the 3rd season to be so good. The season starts of slowly and ends with a bang. This season introduces a new villain "Bullseye" which along with Kingpin makes the showdown with Daredevil an epic one. The first fight sequence between Bullseye and Daredevil is one of the best action scenes I have seen for comic based superheroes. Simply breathtaking.. I will be extremely sad if Daredevil does not return for Season 4. Rating - 10/10 The Marvelous Mrs Maisel on Amazon Prime - The first season was edgy and super fun which frankly caught be by surprise. It went on to win 2 Golden Globes and several Emmys. The 2nd season is good but not as great as the season 1. The 2nd season gets distracted from the main plot into several subplots - parents relationship, resort excursions, husbands and in-laws etc. The makers have spent a lot in recreating the 1950's era and the attention to detail is praiseworthy. Thankfully, the season comes back on track after a slow start and finishes on a high. Will look forward to Season 3. Rating - 8/10 Punisher Season 2 - I loved the 1st season of Punisher (10/10). Super excited to watch Season 2. Watched 2 episodes and so far, so good. Though the reviews are not as great as Season 1, I am hopeful. |

| ![]() Wrapped up The Punisher S02. Clearly the first season was better in terms of the storyline and the progress. This season felt dragging a few episodes through with the story lacking coherence; the roles of some recurring characters from other Marvel series were not justified. Even the violence is toned down. C'mon, this is Frank Castle! He is known to make minced meat out of his adversaries! Got 10 minutes to spare? Watch this clip: Last edited by Gannu_1 : 26th January 2019 at 23:08. Reason: Typo. |

Question to fellow members: Any recommendations? I am open to any genre, as long as it is unpredictable and thrilling. I've finished almost all of the popular ones from US/UK. I am open to any other languages(I've heard that the French/Israelis got some gripping stuff) as long as subs are easily available. Last edited by Mukund : 7th February 2019 at 11:46.

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() Started watching Sex Education on Netflix. Total mental stuff ![]() It's American Pie on steroids, and sans a lot of the silliness. Plus it's Brit, which is always good. But please...don't let your kids watch this, even accidentally. Netflix has got seriously explicit these days and this show has literally no holds barred. |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() The Punisher - Season 2 : 2 / 5 Fans of season 1 will have a hard time enjoying this one. The only part good is one of the new actors, Giorgia Whigham, who's acting and chemistry with multiple leads is very good. Case in point; a scene where she manipulates a cop while also flirting with him shows her skills. But otherwise, give it a miss. I scanned all 13 episodes in about 4-5 hours over 3 days; and I still think it's not worth it. |

| ![]() Another thumbs down for Punisher Season 2 (Rating - 4/10). Total waste of time and this coming from someone who absolutely loved the Season 1, rated it 10/10, and was almost fan of this Series. Can't believe Marvel and Netflix came up with something so poorly scripted and narrated lacking coherence and incredibly boring. I think this season practically makes sure that the Punisher series is going to be dead. The only good Marvel superhero series remaining is Daredevil and that too, is in limbo, with Disney taking over. Person of Interest is pretty good, but it's getting repetitive (7/10). Nevertheless, good watch if you keep expectations in check. Planning to catch Luther Season 5 soon. Also, rewatching Suits and I am loving it once again. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Watched a few more 2 Brits: Collateral (4/5): Well made and acted. More closer to reality than fiction. Bodyguard (3.5/5): This too is well made and acted, but some scenes make you think "what was the director thinking". Some things in it are unrealistic. Nevertheless, it is worth a watch. 1 American Manhunt: Unabomber (5/5) - This one is based on true events of the Unabomber, an American domestic terrorist. Following is the description you will find on Wiki Quote:
It took the FBI 17 years to catch him, and they had to resort to unusual means to even know the identity of the person. This series takes us through that process of catching him. | |

Then there is 'Travelers' too. 3 Seasons, check it out, it's rated pretty high on imdb. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5651844/ I thoroughly enjoyed it. Every series will have a stage where things are just going on for heck of it, but those that manage to get a grip back are worthy of being some time spent. Hell, I was bored even with GOT in the earlier seasons. | |
