The first half of the first season of Locke and Key was pretty interesting but I felt the ending was pretty lame.

Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

I remember literally nothing from the first season. Not the plot, not the characters and definately not the ending. I think it involved a door?

Servant is an excellent horror comedy -- more horror than comedy, but god it knows how to be funny. Lauren Ambrose is loving perfect too.

loving love that show.

Like the above poster I've been watching Better Call Saul, I'm enjoying myself, but I do feel the show can be somewhat self indulgent regarding it's camerawork, not to say that it is bad far from it, but certain scenes e.g. the border crossing in season 2 seem as if they're far too long and padding. I'm only in season 2, but the show also seems to lack confidence?, if that makes sense, Breaking Bad never seemed to me to be living up to or competing with anything else, whereas Saul constantly seems to be trying to both live in and escape the shadow of it's predecessor.

That said Rhea Seehorn I believe her name is is doing a fantastic Job as Kim. Truly a delight to see on screen, the way she presents her self to her clients, Jimmy, Hamlin, and Chuck are different but striking. I'm glad she didn't have to wait until she was elderly like Mikes actor to be truly discovered, and have her talent drawn out.

Mikes sections I actually feel are the worst, He was good in limited amounts in BrBa, but putting so much focus on him makes him feel too much like an impossibly competent actor, seeing as he is so old it strains credibility that so many button men would find it impossible to just off the fucker or gain the upper hand.

Better Call Saul, for all its strengths, has a real problem with overindulgent editing and just generally poor pacing. If you think it's bad on the binge, just imagine watching it one episode a week.

Also the Mike segments can be pretty much be freely skipped if you're not a fan. They're all just building to stuff you've already seen and you already know from watching Breaking Bad.

I’m with you on this take. It a fun show to watch and each episode is only half an hour. Ambrose deserved an Emmy nod.

Seasons 1-3 are so painfully network TV it hurts. It succeeded in no small part to its terrific cast and their chemistry.

Also it very much transcends the source material in that names aside there is no similarity. The only real link is that its the same Lucifer in the DC tv universe.

Man I was sad to see that. Huge fan of the comic. By the second act of the pilot when Lucifer is being Sherlock in a ritzy crime scene I noped out and never looked back

Speaking as someone who loved the comic and felt very much the same as you during the first episode, I think it turned out okay as long as you're able to distance yourself. I really enjoyed the show, though I'm the one person that actually liked the procedural crime solving bit.

Honestly I liked the procedural stuff a million times better than Lucifer pining over ~*The Detective*~ or really any of the celestial beings on the show being the densest mother fuckers imaginable about emotions/relationships.

Well, of course I know him.

The fact that Koenig is a really sweet old man makes it even funnier. Surely someone somewhere in the production process must have noticed and for whatever reason decided not to tell him.

Or maybe he’s in on the joke.
