I watched the first episode of Outcast over the weekend, and enjoyed it. I'll carry on watching, for now.

Watched episode 2. Still like it!

Half way through season two of Modern Family and absolutely loving it. Don't know what episode I saw that put me off all those years ago but it must have been a one off or something.

S2E13

Spoiler

The bit at the end where the kids buy Phil and Claire a lock for their door so they won't walk in on them having sex, only to make it almost as bad because the lock makes a loud sound every time they use it

I really found that Modern Family drops off in the third season. The resolution and subsequent swerve to the big story line in season 3 always felt like a "jump the shark" moment to me.

I remember I watched the first episode of season 3 and was like "no, I see where this is headed and I'm watching enough already." I think I've probably missed some really good stuff but I'm still okay with having cut bait there.

I started (and finished) season 1 a few days ago. Thought the premise was unique if not a little cheesy, but I was won over pretty quickly by Tatiana Maslany's performance(s).

Also started season 4 of Orange is the New Black and I'm enjoying it a lot more than 3 which seemed... directionless and boring. Really liking the characters that have been focused on so far.

S3 E1 of Modern Family...

Spoiler

... yeah, creepy, rapey kid who forcefully kisses Alex more than once against her will is gross and really makes me want to skip this episode.

Is that the Dude Ranch episode? That wasn't season 4? I remember the first two seasons of Modern Family being some of the best comedy TV ever, can't remember if season 3 was good too. The amazing side of Modern Family ended in Hawaii, anyway, so basically I'd always recommend to stop watching after that.

Watched the entire season of Voltron: Legendary Defender. Started off a teensy bit sloppy, but my god did it come together by the middle of the season, and that penultimate episode and finale was absolutely fucking amazing. So many story threads and plots seamlessly threaded into one big amazing action sequence, it's an absolutely incredible ride. I'm still riding on the high of the finale, because, holy fucking shit, that was incredible. It's done so well, and I love the show knows that it's in its infancy and is going at the right pace for these characters, because they have so much room to grow. I cannot wait for season 2.

The current Jonah Ryan story in Veep is amazing.  Peter MacNicol is killing it.

Dude Ranch is season 3. Cam and Mitchell are taking lots of butch photos for the adoption.

Eurgh, the beginning of Modern Family going down the drain

THIS IS AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

 Oh, also, the glimpse into Kent's personal life is amazing.

No Yul Brynner, but i'm hype as shit for the stellar cast. Hopkins, Rachel Harris, Jeffrey Wright, Ed Wood, James Marsden, and more. In a serialized version of one of my favourite 70s films.

[Benji]

And Archer is out.

OF THE DANGER ZONE. Renewed to season 10!

For those that care, Vinyl had it's second season revoked and has been canceled. 

[GoGo Yubari]

Man, HBO better hope Westworld takes off because otherwise they're in a really bad place on the drama front.

[Benji]

How often does that happen? The only other show I can think of is Luck and that was due to concerns for the horses.

[GoGo Yubari]

I feel like that's happened to something else in the last year but I can't remember what.
