I went to Monterey last fall. Amazing place. Starting point of the Pacific highway (which was closed on account ofmudslides) . There is a closed/gated 17 mile strip of ocean front super rich area. Ooh to be rich and live in such places.

Great show alright. Meryl Streep added to the cast for season 2.
Yeah it's a good watch. Looks like a stunning place to live.
For anyone who’s watched the People vs OJ, is it gripping or does it become a bit of a slow burning talk fest?
I started watching it but stopped after 10 mins as it seems like something the Mrs might like.
gripping. But the ending is a dud...because of the ending in real life that is.

It might've been the best show on tv last year. I thought it was captivating throughout.
Top notch acting. Don’t worry that you think you know the story. There’s a lot more to learn
Exactly the same situation for me, and I enjoy it for the same reasons. It's quality in pretty much every aspect.
Watched like three episodes of American Gods. Probably the worst show I've ever seen
I'd call it complete dogshit but I honestly get more joy watching my dog take a dump
😆 I was really looking forward to that show, but never got past the first episode.
I was looking forward to it too. The premise looked interesting, has good Rotten Tomatoes rating plus a colleague recommended it. Never got around to it though, why is it so bad?
I won't be as conclusive as Jones since I've only seen one episode. It just seemed too abstract and artsy, like the worst parts of Hannibal on steroids.

what a massive wet fart that show was. gave up 5 episodes in
Story issues I'd guess. Gaiman is a massively overrated hack.
Finally getting around to watching Fargo Season 3, about half the way through. It lacks the superb characters present in season 1 and the entertainment levels in season 2. It’s still a good watch though, one of my favourite series.
I watched that one a few months ago too. It was different and more personal than the two previous ones, slower like, but I ended up liking it just as much. The lead actors were superb. Carrie Coon surprised me a lot. I knew the others could act but I've never seen her in anything else. She was excellent though. Fargo has to be the consistently most well-cast show on tv.

If you liked her in Fargo you should check out The Leftovers.
Didn't know there was a season 3 of Fargo. Will check. Speaking of that, is there also a new season of Rectify out?
Rectify is over.
I need to get back on that. Really liked season 1 and watched first episide of season 2 and then left it.
