repoman wrote: The second show is also on Netflix and it's The Last Kingdom based on the books by Bernard Cornwall. It's the story of England in the late 9th Century and the struggles between the Vikings and the Saxons for the control of England. The first season was really great though I think the season finale was a bit weak. Second season doesn't seem to be stacking up as well but I'll stick with it. The lead character is a bit John Snow without the emo pouty face crap. And Ubba the Viking was a terrifying individual.
I love The Last Kingdom! The second season gets stronger as it goes along. A couple of the early episodes struggle with setting up some of the new characters, like the new slave-turned-king guy. I also HIGHLY recommend the books. They're fantastic. Uhtred is a really fun protagonist. He fucks up constantly because of his temper and his arrogance, but you just can't help root for him anyway.
I like The Last Kingdom quite a bit more than Vikings, which has devolved into boring political melodrama in recent seasons, and seems to have forgotten that it's a show about, you know ... vikings. I was so bored, I could barely make it through the season premiere a couple of weeks ago. Turns out that Ragnar's sons aren't nearly as interesting as Ragnar. I may be done with this show.

New Girl. Really funny and sweet.
Limitless: Rad AF and I’m salty it’s been cancelled.
The Wire: Season 1 was way better than Season 2. Not sure I’ll continue watching it.

If you liked Season 1 of The Wire, you need to see Season 3, because that focuses on a lot of the hanging threads involving the Barksdale and Bell case. Season 4 is considered the best season by many viewers. Season 5 is shorter and not as good as any of the previous seasons, but is still better than most seasons of any shows on tv.

I would definitely stick with it if you liked season 1.
1: Drug trade
2: Drug distribution
3: politics
4: schools and public services
5: news
Five is the only dud.

Season 1 was so complete with such a great ending that I'm reluctant to start season 2 in fear of being disappointed.

1. Adult Star Wars fans are kind of idiots- we should gauge the success of the films by kids' reactions.
2. Holy cow. 1977 was one hell of inflection point on pop culture. We went from Taxi Driver and Dirty Harry to Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher?! This is the reason we have Infinity War coming out. Paradigm shift from Ken and Barbie to Luke and Leia. Took time, but we're here now.

Also liked the matchup with the girls department later on in the show, ah the twinkle in those eyes, a perfect demonstration of the difference between men and women in so many ways, haha, we are just dumb ass children who never grow up and they tolerate us for some bizarre reason haha. It showed also a great example of just that perfect storm of culture and creation but then desparately trying to hang on to a moment in time that passed, my god that movie, I'd forgotten how awful it was and how cool it could have been! I'd be well up for a modern special effects HeMan movie but theres no way in todays climate it wouldnt be fucked up by someone wanting to rewrite their own spin on stuff and trying to be too clever.
My god, those thighs on the Evil Lyn toy. I might have to buy one. For my kid of course.
