I don't think vice principals is great. I was disappointed by it, and I loved Eastbound and Down. Such a waste of potential.

What was wrong with the finale? I think it’s brilliant.

That Mindhunter show looks interesting. At the moment, the Deuce is blowing everything out of the water. It got renewed for a second season, which is far more exciting to me than the last season of Game of Thrones. At this point, I don't even care if they cancel it tbh. Excited for West World season 2, in spite of its piss poor season finale.
Yeah The Deuce is the best show currently airing on television at the moment, but I'd be shocked if this season of the show ends up being better than the third and final season of The Leftovers, which aired earlier this year. That is the show that blows all other shows out of the water, as far 2017 TV is concerned. I'm much more excited about the second season of The Deuce than Game of Thrones final season, and I've only seen four episodes of the show, but then again, there are a lot of shows whose next season I'm more eager to see than GoT, but I've seen more episodes of those shows than episodes I've seen of The Deuce as well.

Also Stranger Things second season will be out not in the not too distant future, but I'm worried that show is going to take a dive in quality this season, I'll binge through that real quick no doubt.

They killed off Hopkins, who was my favorite character. I dont have a problem with killing off a good character, but they should have figured out a better way to do it.

They still have ed harris, who was my second favorite character so Im excited to see what they do with him next season. The trailer for season 2 looks good, so I have high hopes.

If they were going to kill him off, which they knew they were going to do, then they should have gave him more to do than smile cryptically all season, far from optimal use of Sir Anthony Hopkins, boo on Westworld. I worry going forward, another show that I sense could take a dive in quality.

No, I think his performance was amazing. He was exactly what he needed to be, and few other actors could have pulled it off without appearing smug.

You misunderstand, Hopkins did great with what he was given, it was the writers fault they gave him nothing to do just to make him seem more mysterious.

Some of the things I've never seen,
Game of Thrones
The wire
Breaking bad
Dexter ( well I've seen 2 or 3 episodes )
Curb your enthusiasm
Gone with the wind
Citizen Kane
Mamma Mia

Which should I watch first? (please don't say Mamma Mia)
