    For those who saw all of Mr Robot, did the show stay consistent all the way through and stick the landing? I don't want to get started and then get bummed by it taking a nose dive in the later seasons.

    We are one episode into season 2 as of last night. I am still digging it. I just assumed all 4 seasons are on Prime now, although I didn't specifically check.

    There are quite a few side-plots and characters to keep track of, but binging should help out with that greatly. I enjoyed it all the way through, including the ending. Others' mileage will obviously vary.

    As the show progressed, it did take more side trips inside Elliot's mind.

    I thought Mr. Robot kicked ass all the way through.

    My 12-year-old son told me this joke today:

    Person 1: "What's your favorite cooking show?"

    Person 2: "Breaking Bad."

    Thanks a lot, Internet!

    In the last couple of episodes of Young Sheldon, I couldn't help but notice Annie Potts' dark roots are showing....underneath the gray die job they give her to look older.

    We are about half way through season #2 (he just revealed that he is in prison........I think.......) and my wife and I are both finding it hard to keep track of everything that is going on. I am digging it more than my wife at this point.

    Mr Robot - season 1 was weird but accessible
    season 2 got stranger but we were still able to follow it
    season 3 and 4 we watched because we watched the first 2 seasons. difficult to follow, stranger and stranger

    We enjoyed season 1 of Mr. Robot as it aired, but then just couldn't muster the interest to watch it when it came back for the second season. It's weird how that happens sometimes.

    We are currently exactly halfway through binging the six seasons of Bosch, really enjoying it, a solid cop drama.

    You may have just convinced me to dive back into it.

    I agree that Mr Robot got progressively weirder through the run, but my impression was that it was by design. Don't really want to say more for fear of spoiling the fun.

    Watching episode 5 of 8 of THE SERPENT After a shaky start we got right into it...lots of holes but riveting at times. Disturbing to know that it's based on a true story. Timeline switches are annoying but that seems to be what is happening a lot these days. Will finish tonight, excellent, entertaining and well worth the time.

    I just finished Devs, on Hulu. Alex Garland's foray into TV, it shares the same spooky vibe as his film, Ex Machina. Nick Offerman is the biggest star, and he's really good in this understated dramatic role. Part spy/espionage thriller, part existential exercise, I thought it was pretty good, but I was expecting more from the ending. It seemed like a set up for a really good twist, which never really appeared. I'd give it 7/10.

    Outcry, a 5 part docuseries on Showtime. I binged the whole thing, yesterday. I thought it was excellent. In fact, it scored better on RottenTomatoes and IMDb than Murder in the Bayou.

    I started watching Debris. On Hulu, though I will eventually catch up and DVR the episodes. So for it is ....ok. We'll see. Some cool ideas and special fx.

    I've seen the first 4-5 episodes, and that's the best I can say about it, too. Really neat idea, but I'd like to see it go somewhere.

    If one is willing to suspend disbelief, it is a good show.

    I have been DVR-ing it. I only watched the first episode and it did not do much for me, but I may eventually go back to it.

    I did the binge too...and yes it was excellent. There appears to be a reoccurring theme when it comes to the justice system that is very unsettling.
