Man in the High Castle - Episode 2.5 - Rufus Sewell and Joel de la Fuente sharing a scene together? It's gotta be all downhill from here. Those are the only two actors on the show who are consistently engaging.

How do people feel about Big Little Lies? I just turned it off after just the first two minutes. How long does it take to get good (assuming it does at all)? I have to some way to kill time on this flight.

How could you possibly turn it off after 2 minutes given how great the opening music is for the show?

I watched the whole opening credits and then cops were showing up to a school and the dialogue and direction were awkward but I was forgiving - but then there was a montage of talking head sound bytes from parents and thirty seconds of that was enough to make me lose hope.

Anyone not watching Peaky Blinders on Netflix is missing out on some the best scripted, best acted TV around. Watching the new Season 4 and 3 episodes in I'm amazed at the brilliance of the script.

I started it, watched the first couple episodes, but it didn't hook me.

I can't remember the first couple of episodes, but I do remember that it took awhile to introduce the whole family and understand the motivations of the characters.  It's a gangster show for sure, but so much more.  Plus the guest stars and all the casting is terrific.

But, doesn't have a dragon...

Ha!  I haven't even started Game of Thrones.  I know what will happen once I watch one episode.  So I might as well wait.

Oh man, that first episode from Black Mirror is a horrifying hoot.

My plans just went out the window.
