I just binged The Waterfront on Netflix. I’m not sure how I feel about it exactly. I’ll probably tune into season 2, if there is one. But there are a couple of actors who are terrible at the craft, in my very humble opinion, and they are making it hard for me to stay in the story.
Some beautiful boats and homes though.
We started watching Haven last night. We’re about 3 episodes in. I’m not sure yet. I guess what bothers me is that all of this weird, crazy, unbelievable stuff happens and the lead who just came to town, doesn’t seem surprised or frightened enough to me. My husband seems to like it, and it’s almost impossible to find something he’ll sit still and watch. So I’ll continue just so we have something we can watch together.
Just finished both seasons of Andor. The path forward for more seasons (in the quite of a new show) without the title character is pretty clear, with a handful of great characters to work with.
I’d watch B2EMO.
I put this in the movies thread by mistake, so I’ll repost here. I tried to watch FUBAR, but gave up after about fifteen minutes of absolute stupidity and bad acting. I wonder how much Arnie had to shell out to convince them to make an S2. Just retire, already.
We watched The Residence, it started ok and then just fell off the rails. It easily could have been four episodes shorter and felt heavily padded.It was like watching an 8 hour Colombo episode. We were both sick and in the mood to binge or we would have bailed.
We are half-way through and enjoying it.
Uh, I hope it is a one season thing, though. I mean, what’s next: 10 Downing Street?
I don’t think that there will be any follow up to Andor. The end of Season 2 leads directly into Rogue One, which is a direct prequel to A New Hope.
I started watching Bodkin this weekend. On Netflix. A dark comedy about an American pod caster doing a story about a 25 year old missing persons case in Ireland. I’m enjoying it so far. Lot’s of convoluted mysteries in this tiny Irish town.
As a humorous bonus Barak and Michelle Obama are executive producers!
But there are a lot of characters at loose ends who could be working in the shadow world of espionage and counter-espionage during the events told in the original trilogy.
Picked up The Mentalist again and quite like it. Many, many Seasons to go - there are 7 Seasons and 151 Episodes.. 
I gave The Waterfront a try, but it put me to sleep. It’s just a variation on a meme, really, and doesn’t hold my attention.
I’ll speak up on behalf of FUBAR, although not loudly. 
I posted a comment about the first season a while back. I can roll with melodramatic spy stuff, although this doesn’t give us anything special in that regard. And I’m not going to defend any of the points people criticized it on. Mainly, what I like is the dynamic between Arnold and the daughter. He’s a protective father, and their job is extremely risky. But then again, the daughter is as capable of taking care of herself as he is, if not more. Lots of friction there.
I don’t know if that’s enough to carry the show through a second season because really, how much mileage can anyone get out of that kind of set-up? So I’ll watch it with an open mind but without getting my hopes up too terribly high.
That stated good for a long time. Once they moved to the FBI it got a little thin. They should have just planned to end it with Red John.
We’re going to give Bodkin a try tonight. A mystery that takes place in a small Irish town.
Bodkin was a weird one. I stuck it out but I’m not sure I liked it.
Wasn’t impressed with the first episode. I like Will Forte better in a comic role.
I feel similarly. I definitely enjoyed a lot of it - particularly the quirky residents of Bodkin - but the central mystery resolves unsatisfactorily, IMO. It felt like the plot strands spiraled out of control of the writers a bit, and they couldn’t weave it all back together.

I loved Deadliest Catch and this is a good series like it.

We saw some of the Deadliest boats in their summer harbour in Alaska.
I saw a preview for season 2 that was basically 2 minutes of side-characters arguing about a pig. Stuff like that just takes me right out of the show. If you want to run a joke, make it witty and short and move on. This felt like one of those amateur improv skits where they keep beating the shit out of the joke because they can’t figure out how to segway to something funnier and are just waiting for someone to ring the bell (or cut the scene).
