Watching _Life and Beth_ on Hulu, I’ve always liked Amy Schumer, this is more of the same. If you’re not a fan, then you may wish to give it a pass as it is completely her show. It’s a rom-dramedy based loosely on her life (or as her life would have been like had she had a relatively normal career), also stars Michael Cera as the meet-cute. Went to debate tonight and, before I left, turned on some show called _911_ starring Connie Britton, just so the house wouldn’t be all dark and still and shit. Came home, watched 10 minutes, I’ve already lost 3 IQ points it was so fucking stupid, and I am now in a panic about possible brain damage to my dog who was exposed to this rot for 3 whole hours. ---

I just finished watching all six seasons of _Longmire_. I forget why I started. ---

Longmire was pretty disappointing. The lead was fine, but the main supporting characters were complete opposites of how they are written in the novels. ---

> [@Chefguy](#): > > Longmire was pretty disappointing. Same for me. I couldn’t quite get past a lifelong Wyoming sheriff that was obviously not an American.

> [@dummygladhands71](#): > > yup. Pissed us off royally I liked the ending, for a certain value of like. It definitely sets up Season 2. I was sorry to see the dogs go, but I have a soft spot for Rotties. Overall, I’d definitely recommend the series. We’ve been watching **SurrealEstate**. It’s slightly more serious than usual SyFy fare. A real estate agency that specializes in difficult houses, of the haunted or possessed kind. It’s worth checking out if you like supernatural shows. ---

We watched the first episode of a new series on Amazon called “The Peripheral.” It’s one of those alternate reality things. We were only lukewarm on it but will give it another shot to see where it goes. One thing annoyed me. I just hate contrived accents. Yes, I know it takes place in small town West Virginia, but there was just too much fake hillbilly talk. The characters are supposed to be reasonably intelligent, and I somehow doubt people in West Virginia use “ain’t” in every other sentence they speak. ---

**The Watcher** has degraded into the realm on nonsensical plotting. I’ll finish it, but it’s gotten tedious.
