Looking forward to Younger, but surprised it's not (officially?) the final season. The concept already requires your suspension of disbelief be nearly off the charts and to carry it over more than five seasons is pretty ridiculous even though we really enjoy the characters and soapy plotlines.
Kinda interested in seeing an episode of Pose, but honestly, I'd be more into it if this were a reality competition show instead of scripted drama.

The Sinner is coming back? I thought it'd be a one and done series or miniseries if it qualifies. Did the book have a sequel?
I actually saw the book when I went to the hospital recently. They wanted twenty-five cents for it. I'd seen the show though, and have tons of books to get through so I didn't bother.

Awesome, sounds like my kind of show then. I'll get on it as soon as I finish Riverdale.
Ive tried a few times to finish the 3rd season, I just kept getting side tracked and forgot where I left off. I need to finish it finally so I can see how it ends!

Will probably end up watching Luke Cage and Yellowstone. Hadnt heard Gordon Ramsey is doing a new show till now! Loved his Kitchen Nightmares series and wished he would do more. This looks similar, but with a timelimit.
How was Deep State? Is this the second season?

It's an anthology series, so it will be a new story with a new cast.
Basically Bill Pullman is the lead character of the series, not Jessica Biel. It's about his cases.
You seem really defensive. I've never heard of ball culture, and I live in Chicago, the third largest city.
My comments about Pose are coming from a 50-year-old, straight, white male. That show's promotion is wholly focused on other demographics than mine. And that's fine.
The subject matter of The Sinner isn't something I'm really checking for now, but the Carrie Coon casting in season 2 is tempting me.

The reviews all mention that the show is accessible to people unfamiliar with the culture (in the same way that Friday Night Lights was accessible to people unfamiliar with football), so maybe give it a shot anyway! It's getting good reviews!

I'm glad Patrick Melrose is ending next week - I can't take getting gutted like this on a weekly basis for much longer...
Don't you dare. The Hallmark/Lifetime synopses are the best part about these threads,
Yes it felt the same way to me, but imo it's nowhere near 28D/W Later quality even if you acknowledge its smaller budget. Things start to fall apart in the second part of the season. There's one dreadful episode and the finale is very disappointing.
I can already feel the seems pulling apart with it. The moment the
group shows up and has a gun
Succession pilot was just kind of blah. Reminded me of Trust without the hook / true crime element. Ended up really enjoying Trust, which also didn't start great, so maybe this will grow on me.
Oh boy, that's only a taste of things to come. ;D By the way I wonder if you'll also hate

Agreed. Good enough to keep watching but nothing special yet.
Still checking it out but some of those reviews make it sound pretty bad.

I thought it was terrible considering it'a a big new HBO show. Most of the actors just looked awkward saying their lines

CB Strike: An extremely dull and generic British murder mystery with no real hook to speak of. Holliday Grainger is the only good thing about it but she also isn't being given anything to work with.
Succession: I thought it was mildly enjoyable. It set up a complicated web of relationships that was thankfully only a little too complicated, and it should be fun watching everyone try to fuck each other over for more power in the coming weeks. Kieran Culkin did a good job with his fey asshole younger brother character and I thought the rest of the cast was solid if unremarkable. I disliked the way it was shot though - all those little camera zooms bugged the heck outta me (didn't The Newsroom do something similar?).
Dietland: I actually liked this, though I admit there are a lot of moving parts to keep track of. Joy Nash, Julianna Margulies, and Robin Weigert were all very good though and I liked the stylistic flourishes. The subject matter is very current but they are maybe coming at the audience with a little too much right out of the gate. Hopefully it all gels before too long.

Whose Line is it Anyway?
They need to promote Whose Line more. Colin Mochrie's saying people don't know the show's been back for 6 seasons already.

So, uh, Dietland. I really liked Joy Nash? The rest is pretty messy and confusing... It feels like this pastiche of edgy genre television and current events, but isn't really succeeding at anything right now. It's doling out the central mystery pretty slowly, but said mystery seems pretty tonally disconnected from the rest of the show. So it's about female empowerment but also brutal murder(s)? Is it supposed to be something like the film God Bless America? I'm utterly baffled by it so far. The way that it bounces between tones reminded me of early Gotham a bit, which... Never a good thing.
Anyone watch the after-show? I really like Aisha Tyler, and it being billed as more of a talk show / news show than the fluff that is Talking Dead (no disrespect to the awesome Chris Hardwick) intrigues me. I'm not fully in on any of this so not sure I want to invest the time.

Didn't know Luke Cage was coming out. That's rad. I'll watch that. And Glow season 2! But need to finish Ash vs. Evil Dead first. And 13 Reasons Why.
In terms of movies, I finally want to watch Thor: Ragnarok, and I'll give Stars Wars: TLJ a go as well. Only saw it once in theatres.
