TV Thread - beware, [expletive] can get spoilery

I haven't seen it, but they fake exploded a car about 100 feet from my last apartment, and a block from my current one. I see stuff getting filmed every week, that was one of the biggest productions I've seen. Like triple the amount of trailers I usually see for a scene being filmed. I gotta figure out which episode it was to see how my hood looks on TV.

I was tempted to watch "Supergirl" just because I have a 7-year-old daughter and she might like a girl hero.

The latest "Sherlock" special, the one actually set in the Victorian era, will air on New Year's Day.

I seem to say this every season, but Walking Dead has started out pretty strong again. Get past all the annoying moralizing discussions that have been done so many times already and some flimsy plot contrivances, and they've done a good job with this herd. Three strong action-heavy episodes in a row. Might be unprecedented.

Fargo and the Leftovers are both great this season. Fargo is even better than last season and probably the better of the two, but man is Carrie Coon awesome on the Leftovers. Nora on the show, if you're watching. Wouldn't be surprised to see her land some awards and bigger roles soon.

Deleted an SNL episode for the first time ever. Just couldn't face it this week.

I have to flip this around, having seen two more since posting that. Leftovers is the better show. Better than everything. Great episodes all season that have only gotten better.

I'm sure it's not for everyone. It's intense and morose at times, but it's never intentionally sadistic w/r/t the characters. They aren't going through all this crap for no reason. It's amazing how well they're able to walk the line between everything having a real explanation or a more religious/supernatural. Even better, it's just not relevant why this stuff happens. It just matters to the characters that it's happening. There's also more levity than I've seen a few critics give it credit for.

Master of None is really, really good. It's a bit like Louie in a sense, except it's funny. Intentionally funny, not "oh, the world is absurd and life is meaningless" funny like Louie. Which is also a good type of funny, just to be clear.
