Tyrant: 7/10 fun enough to watch but way too predictable. Unlikable protagonist.

The Last Ship: 8.5/10 melodramatic but many quality storylines. Surprise of the summer.

The Leftovers: 9/10. Season finale this Sunday but so far I have loved it. Fuck the haters, I like dreamlike mysterious shit like this show.

It's off this Sunday due to the holiday weekend. Gotta wait an extra week for the finale.

Also, note that HBO are running the first three episodes of The Knick on Monday night in case anyone wants to check that out. The mini-marathon kicks off at 8pm ET.

Its a cinemax show right?

I don't have cinemax :/

Sure, but this at least gives you a chance to see the first three episodes on HBO. Then you can decide if you want to watch on blu-ray or streaming someday given the opportunity.

- THR: Netflix's 'Marco Polo' Gets Premiere Date

December is a weird time to premiere a show, though I guess they're hoping people will binge it over Christmas break.

Is this not a miniseries? For some reason I always had that impression.

I'm pretty sure it's not.

Too. Much. TV. It was bad enough when I couldn't keep up with movies, now I can't keep with anything.

It's off this Sunday due to the holiday weekend. Gotta wait an extra week for the finale.

urgh, I haaaaaate when shows do this. Blach. Yech.

I think I had the Rectify: S2 finale spoiled for me

Anyway, spent some of the last three days catching up on The Honorable Woman and I'm loving it. I'm rather annoyed that I can't watch the remaining episodes immediately. It's nice that you get to view this messy web of espionage and intrigue from a multitude of perspectives, from macro geopolitics to very intimate situations. I had read virtually nothing about the series before plunging in, which is probably for the best. There's a lot of peeling back layers of the story's onion, but this process doesn't only make things more complicated, but gives context and makes the bigger pictures come into focus. Doesn't seem like twists and reveals just for the sake of them. Hopefully it sticks the landing.

What was it? Spoiler tag?

Sounds good! I'll definitely start it up once the season ends.

***Possible Rectify: S2 spoilers***

Spoiler

Something about the main character confessing or revealing that he was in fact involved with the murder.

I will neither confirm nor deny that spoiler.

When do you intend to watch the finale? Were you waiting for the season to pop up on Netflix?

I've been recording S2, but like Cornballer, haven't yet watched the first season. I'll probably push myself to tackle it soon, so that S2 isn't hogging my DVR as the fall starts.

Oh well, accurate or not, that's what I get for sitting on it.

It's only 16 hours long! You won't regret it!
