How did I ever watch Bones. Jesus Christ, this show is large garbage. HA HA, BONES CONFUSED GROUPIES AND GROUPERS!! LMAO!! SHE'S SO QUIRKY, THAT SCIENCE MIND HAVER!

I remember liking it a lot, but I watched it then and never watched any reruns. Will I hate it if I watch it again?

Succession is good, but damn does it hit close to home. 

[VerbalPuke]

Burn Notice is a fun little show, not something I feel like I need to be too deeply involved in, but the shows is fun background noise. 

God that's fucking terrible to be all "Yeah this show rules as something I can watch kind of while I surf my phone". 

But I do like it. Bruce Campbell of course fucking rules here.

Only finished season 1. Season 2 will be started this week.

My other half is making me watch Virgin River and it is garbage. Like, it's not even trying to be something original, and the acting is probably the worst thing I've ever seen in a Netflix show.

Same here, though at least she binged it in one go so it's out the way. I'll admit I've seen worse made things but I just....don't see the point in it at all. Total waste of energy.

Yeah it's just sort of a very generic small town romance novel in the form of a Netflix series. I see the audience, but it definitely isn't me, especially with acting that bad.

Please be good.

It's the same showrunner from the first 4 seasons, so I'm holding out hope.

[Adam]

I'm not getting my hopes up. I just can't. I loved the show so much and the last season was so, so bad. I'm just not sure how they redeem it here.

[FLiam]

Simply hoping that they can correct the wrong's of the final season.

[GoGo Yubari]

I think there's no point to trying to redeem the last couple seasons of the show. Instead I think the best way to do this is accept the circumstances of the ending with Lumberjack Dexter and just tell a competent standalone story without trying to engage with it on a deep level. I think the only two other actors from the original series who are confirmed to be in this are

Spoiler

Jennifer Carpenter and John Lithgow, and since both of their characters are dead that probably just means either flashbacks or a Dark Passenger deal. That's honestly how it should stay, I hope to never catch even the slightest glimpse of a single character who was alive at the end of the show.

Wow. I get the reference now. That was fucked.

[FLiam]

Bob Odenkirk collapsed on the set of Better Call Saul and has had to be hospitalised. No further details have been released. I really hope he's OK.

[MalaCloudy Black]

The Hollywood Reporter is calling it a heart attack and his reps are calling it a "heart-related incident". 

 

[Adam]

The statement says he's stable in hospital now, and yeah a "heart-related incident" is how it was worded.

Hope he makes a full recovery, Bob Odenkirk is one of the best around.

It was a damn good run considering Dudley Moore’s been dead most of that time.
