Justified, like Always Sunny, is one of those weird shows that has somehow avoided going 5+ seasons without truly having a dud season.

DO YOU HEAR THAT? THAT'S THE SOUND OF ME PATTING MYSELF ON THE BACK.


This week's Ghosted was truely weird and I feel like they left an outtake in the episode near the end (or at the very least, completely improv section with natural laughing reactions from Adam Scott and Craig Robinson.)

There's not even that many dud episodes of Justified.

Yeah, it was hard to tell if that was scripted or if they just started laughing at the story and they kept it in.

I have a feeling the story was half scripted but then they kept the scene going. "and my penis became magnetic, but only for aluminium."

I'm trying to think of one and yeah, I can't recall every being like "well that sucked!" at the end of an ep. Just a solid show through and through.

I watched the first five episodes of Claws. I wanted to like it, it has a great cast, but I wasn't really enjoying it until episode 5. Which is when I began to actively hate it

Is there any reason to bother with the rest of the season or does it continue on as is?

TNT trying to do a Breaking Bad thing. The main character is played by the black lady cop from Reno 911. She owns a nail salon and is trying to care for her employees and autistic brother while laundering money for the mob and covering up her own involvement (first episode spoiler)in a murder

That's fine. Alin Sumarwata is the best Richmond replacement anyway. McKee's character was pretty uninteresting compared to hers.

If one of them had to go to make room for this new girl, they chose the right one.

Strike Back is a show that should never die. They just reboot it every couple years with a new cast and setting.

I mean Section 20 people die by the truckload so they could have given her an execution scene. Even Richard Armitage got that with his boring rear end character.

I read somewhere that she couldn't commit to the filming schedule. But it could be bunk.

Foreign shows that Netflix picks up tend to be pretty good, and I've never seen a show that was in Hindi, so I'm interested

Sharp Objects is really good so far. Amy Adams is just so fantastic. And if you like the direction, but haven't watched Big Little Lies, get on that immediately.

Also, I read the book, and all I could think at certain points was TEETH TEETH TEETH TEETH TEETH. That's like the only plot detail I remember from it, but it sure stuck with me.

Hot take? While S5 of JUSTIFIED is not very good, Michael Rappaport is actually good in it. The prison segment is what drives that season into the ground and makes it hard to get through a re-watch as only the last episode really matters.

I'm really disappointed that I missed Killing Eve when it was on. Is it available anywhere legal online?

I started watching Kiss Me First, and like it so far. I think the main actress is pretty good - it also helps that there's just something about her that looks... I don't know how to describe it, almost otherworldly or computer-generated (this sounds worse than I mean it to). There's just something about the way she looks that I feel like makes her perfect for a character who's caught between virtual life and real life.

I think Killing Eve is still available on the BBC America app, but tied to a TV provider login. I assume it will roll onto Hulu or Netflix sometime in the coming months.

Speaking of BBC shows, has anyone watched that Hugh Grant miniseries where he's a gay politician trying to cover up an affair? It seemed ok from his plugging it on Colbert the other week.

I'm not sure how far they'll go with it but the big thing is that the prisoner they're talking about at the beginning of the trailer is played by Bill Skarsgard, who is Pennywise in the It movies. Both the It movies and Castle Rock are owned by Warner Bros Media.

I don't think they're going to lean into it terribly hard, given that the show is only four episodes long, but it's basically four episodes of the Stephen King Shared Universe, so there will probably be some rather oblique hints to Pennywise.
