What TV shows are people watching?

You guys might wanna check out Idiot Abroad, which is pretty much a Karl solo show.

You probably did, but I backed you up.

I'm glad Jack and Chloe are gone. I'm more interested in it now that there is a whole new cast. I barely watched the little return thing they had like a year or two ago.

Yeah, I don't know. 24 without Jack is gonna be weird. Not so bothered about Chloe, but no Jack? That's going to take some getting used to.

We did; it kicked off a whole AJ Cook v Paget Brewster thing. Anyway, glad you're enjoying it. There are some amazing episodes - well, you've got what, ten seasons or more to watch yet? Wish I was in your position. I used to see the ads for this and think yeah, sure, then one day I watched it and was instantly hooked.

So far, from season 1, my favorite episode would have to be where the crazy intellectual holds the train hostage. The first season in general has been really good, but that one had me on the edge of my seat. As did many other episodes.

I don't even like cop shows, but I still dig Criminal Minds. Better than average cast and serial killer stories are vastly more interesting than 90% of other cases by definition.

That's pretty much why I like it for the most part. The serial killer stories and the psychological side of it is incredibly well done.

And Paget Brewster is a ****ing fox.

I just finished the second season of Man in the High Castle. While randomly dropping in some crazy sci fi stuff I didn't see coming threw me off in the first season, it actually played to the second season's benefit. Little bits of info on where the tapes are coming from and the history of the world since WWII are revealed. There are some subtle touches I didn't notice before that I appreciate. Like the Olympic stadium being domed off and used as the Nazi capitol building - that's a cool touch. Hitler built that to be a huge statement on Nazi power, so it kind of made sense that they'd want to use it as their main government building once they took over the world.

Overall, still not on the level of something like GOT, but it's gotten a lot better since the last season.

I feel like the second season while being all over the place was still very entertaining and has me chomping at the bit for the 3rd installment. Not everyone can have the 25 million per episode that GOT has so i'm encouraged by what Amazon has done with all of their Exclusives.
