The best character is probably Albert the FBI agent. I love how they gradually flipped his character. Also Leland and Major Garland.

Not sure about my favourite scene. Maybe when Coop, Andy, Harry and Lucy are in the field and Coop is breaking the bottles.

Aw, I love that scene. And yeah, Albert is great. His pacifism speech is so unexpected and awesome.

Everyone except you finds that episode boring. Just because you take a liking to it doesn't make it underrated.

Sure it is plus it fills the gap of not having a modern Twilight Zone or Outer Limits series on.

When nobody else takes a liking to it, him taking a liking to it definitely makes it underrated from his perspective. Do you think that there needs to be a consensus on something being underrated for that to be so? Because that doesn't make any got dang sense.

Idk if it's in the first season, but The Hunt and Eye of the Beholder are a couple of my faves.

It would be an incredible achievement if EVERY Black Mirror was awesome.

What they are doing is so time consuming and difficult. A new setting / story each episode.

Plus, I feel like there's a huge lack of near future fiction. Her was another highlight (in terms of forecasting the future, overall it had flaws).

So what do you all think about the 3rd season of Fargo ? A single episode is out just yet, but without spoiling anything, it is intriguing (as it should), and at this moment seems more interesting than season 2 - s2 took a looong time to get going.
Anyway, I'm not grading it just yet, but will keep watching until I know enough to do, which probably will mean finishing the whole season..

Was hoping to see somebody talking Fargo in here. I absolutely loved season 2, damn near every minute of it start to finish, much more than I liked season 1 (not to say season 1 wasn't great in its own way), so going into season 3 I was quite nervous, knowing that Fargo's anthology structure by design puts it at risk of hit or miss seasons. I went into season 3 blind yesterday, which was a hell of a trip for the first 10 minutes as each cast member made their appearance (especially when Ewan McGregor makes his second appearance). Really glad to see Michael Stuhlbarg on board, loved his roles in Boardwalk Empire, Trumbo, and his small part in Arrival. Glad to see Mary Elizabeth Winstead again who only showed up on my radar after 10 Cloverfield Lane, which I loved.

Overall I've got no complaints thus far, I was sad to see the show return to the 21st century in setting as I'm a sucker for shows set in the 70s and 80s, but things really picked up in the second half of the episode and I quickly stopped caring about that. The chemistry between McGregor and Winstead is already very entertaining and looks like it might end up being the pairing that carries this season.

And the soundtrack, as always, is just killer:

Also caught up with Better Call Saul last night, I've always loved the careful and calculated slow burn of this series but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't eagerly anticipating the return of key characters from Breaking Bad, and that's exactly what season 3 seems to be bringing at a rapid pace, so I'm stoked, episode 2 was very good.
