I just finished up The End of the F***ing World on Netflix and thought it was great. I actually watched an episode last week and wasn't exactly sold, but watched the rest over the past couple days. I rarely binge shows, so it definitely hooked me in a hurry once I jumped back in (especially from Episode 3 on). A quality dark comedy. It goes some really unexpected places by the end. I was really impressed with the character growth shown over the course of such a short series. And at just eight 20-minute episodes, it is a pretty quick watch too for those pressed for time/too much other stuff to watch.
With football over and a few of my shows taking a break because of the Olympics, I also decided to start up some long-term watches of a couple of "classics" so-to-speak. Things I can chip away at when I don't have anything new. So, I started up both Mad Men and The Sopranos. Mad Men's setting/time period isn't really my thing, so I never dove in before. But I have certainly found shows I loved that didn't seem like my thing at first glance, so I'm hoping that is the case here. I've always wanted to watch The Sopranos, but never just never have. I didn't have HBO back when it first aired (and didn't really watch TV like I do now back then either, so may not have watched it anyway). Only watched a couple episodes of each so far, but looking forward to checking out more of both. (Not sure this last paragraph fits this thread, but I wanted to mention it to TV-Era somewhere and this seems like as good a place as any.)
