Taboo--looks like its gonna be worth watching

The Mick--somewhat entertaining as far as 30 minute comedies go

This Is Us--really good show, no homo

Finally broke down and binged Breaking Bad over the Christmas break. Aaron Paul was awesome.

Of all the "important shows" of the millenium, it's the one most deserving of the hype, I think.

If anyone here still watches Gotham, there was a nice shout out to The Dark Knight in tonight's episode.

The overnight manager at the morgue was also the lunatic the Joker put in the Dawes uniform in TDK.

I'm really enjoying The Mick. Funny show.

Attempted to watch "The Young Pope"......and quit after 15 minutes. It MIGHT be an ok show, but I have zero interest in the subject matter and it just seemed way too over the top (which might be the point, but it was annoying).

Glad I'm not the only one who thought that it was some pretty awful television.

I thought The Young Pope was fantastic. The show is absurd in the best way possible. "Evil pope" is a role Jude Law was made to play. His opening speech and the meeting with his adviser were hilarious. It's likely the show won't be able to sustain itself, but for me the opener delivered the goods in a big way.
