Exactly why I'm liking it so much so far. It's keeping me guessing and on my toes. I'm 4 episodes in too. Really lovin the creepy vibe. Another thing I like for personal reasons is that the remote house where Dan's working is in the Catskills, NY (in reality its shot in Pitt) which is somewhere I have visited quite a bit.

Cool! Good to know. My wife actually enjoys it and is actively suggesting we watch it, so that helps.

That reminds me of a comment made in Yellowjackets.
I got the chuckles when they said to bury torso of dead person in Hacklebarney State Park. It is a place a couple of miles from my house where I go to walk my dog on a regular basis.

I think this show just keeps getting better and thought season 3 was the best of them all. It is a slow burn type of season, but totally outstanding.
Fully agreed.

Here's something fans of the show "Succession" might enjoy. I had the earworm ... bad ... for the theme so I made this version to try and get it out of my head.
Enjoy.

Just hit the first episode of Ozark season 4, which dropped today. Killer.
Joe Walsh made a guest appearance on this week's episode of The Connors. He played Dan's Granddaughter's older boyfriend's father. At the end there was a short jam with Joe on guitar, and John Goodman singing and playing harmonica.

Love it! I play the theme on piano, not nearly as smooth as yours, but it is a fun piece.

I'm pissed! I've been bingeing Hannah. Halfway through season 3, and find out that there are only six episodes. And....that is the end of the series!
A Comfort Zone is not a Life Sentence
Started watching the Hawkeye series on Disney. I think it's just eight episodes, but it's pretty fun.
Finished "part 1" of Ozark season 4 yesterday. High tension all the way through. I thought it was great.
Now that I've finished Dexter: New Blood, I've gone back and read the spoiler posts that I skipped over. I agree with some points for sure. I kept saying to my wife 'What about his gunshot wound?' - that was a huge plot hole IMO. If they wanted him to be able to run around perfectly fine, drive, etc. then don't have him shot through the leg. Ridiculous.
Everything else I was fairly okay with, though some aspects of the plot were rushed (the podcast girl's murder for example) and some just fell apart (Bautista is 'on his way', but we get no confrontation scene with him and Dexter? WTF?). I'm not sure I saw the point of the scene where Harrison visits the parents of the kid he slashed in the hospital either. That didn't seem to attach to anything. It's a series that has so much going for it, but the see-saw writing quality often lets it down.
And as I said before, I loathe Deb, who couldn't act her way out of a paper bag. A completely unnecessary addition to the show, particularly when they inject her into every second scene where she is saying the same thing over and over again. Yeah, we get it, she's Dexter's conscience telling him 'no'. Do we need to hear the 'no' 75 times? She stinks up every scene she's in, and she sticks out like a sore thumb among an otherwise solid cast.
Anyway, despite what I've said here, I enjoyed the series and found it rather engaging. As with the original series, when it worked, it was very tense.

Not sure how I feel about the ending. Kinda felt rushed, but still a very cool series!
"Who would have thought a whale would be so heavy?" - Moe Sizlak
Agree. It seemed as if right up until the last episode the show runners weren't sure about a second season and decided to leave the door open at the last minute.

We're 3 episodes in with Yellowjackets and wow, what a ride. If it wasn't Sunday night last night, we probably would have binged a couple more.
Music isn't about chops, or even about talent - it's about sound and the way that sound communicates to people. Mike Keneally
just started this show and yeah it is very good. considering the cast (including Eric Andre who I guess isn't in the first season) I expected this to be a comedy, and while it's very funny at times it's way more intense and plot heavy than I expected. though I do find the ratio of male-to-female nudity to be kind of hilarious

Yeah, I think the nudity ratio is a joke at HBO's expense. Some suit must have said at sometime to Danny McBride "this is HBO, we need some nudity" and Danny gave them a bucket of flaccid dicks. Goodman was magnificent as Eli in the last episode. These kids are so incompetent they make the Roy children on Succession look like role models.

I remember what a big deal it was when in the early 90s, Mariel Hemingway was about to be the first person to "appear nude" on broadcast television. It turned out to be only shot from the waist up, with her arm draped over her mammary glands. It didn't quite live up to the hype.
