Spoiler for Gilmore Girls episode 2:
What's the deal with Alexis Bledel? She's even playing the character differently. Less sweet, more firm, less neurotic. I mean, I get that characters need to grow but usually the audience is in on the process, they don't just see it and accept it 10 years later. Point is, the character is quite different and I have mixed feelings about it.

Also, I hate how they shoehorned Logan into the plotline just in an effort to get all of their regular cast members to appear. The situation between them makes no sense whatsoever; they split up because he asked her to marry him and he wasn't prepared to do long distance. So now they're each cheating on their respective long-term partners via long distance secret fling? It's illogical.

I'm very sensitive about characterization, as you see.

Move past episode 2 and continue onwards. I've watched every episode and I'm telling you, the payoff is worth it. Some things I actually agree with what you said, but overall I enjoyed the show.

Setup for season 2 felt a little tacked on but if they can build successfully from season 1 then I'm sold. Humour is about as dark as it gets. Tempted to get the comic it was based on but don't want spoilers.

Indeed it was.

Spoiler for Spoiler:
I'm just worried about the next seasons, the story could have ended now and it would be good. The creators said the 1st season is just an introduction to the world and while it's about control, the 2nd one will be about losing said control and chaos i general. This might bite them in the ass. I have to say I wasn't as surprised as I probably should have, as I suspected who William was and that the old man is not the devil as were made to believe in the buildup to the finale, the only really surprising thing was how the story of Maeve developed and ended

I watch This is Us. I love that show more than I thought I would initially.

13 more hours to go. I was up until 3am last night, mindlessly laughing.

I did mean to check out that Mars series, but haven't yet. Any good?

Black Mirror. First episode of season 3. I figure we're less than 10 years away from this being reality. Nice to see the show drawing some big name actors.

That one was probably my least favourite episode of the entire show. The rest of season 3 is phenomenal though.
