Yellowstone on Paramount is one of my favorite new shows...Costner is awesome in his role.

Really helps that Taylor Sheridan is one of the best writers in Hollywood right now, bar none.

That explains a lot why shit isn’t working great in my house right now.

So which one of you is going to be able to explain the end of season 2 of Westworld?

Probably no one that doesn't spend hours reading up on details after each episode.

Show is stupid, it totally lost me this season. Good acting, a good concept, good production, etc. Dumb execution.

 

[Amorgus]

Maybe someone at Comcast is throwing a tantrum that they got outbid for Disney.

The bouncing time line really hurt the show for me.

I think it’s my fault. I asked today somewhere if you could 3D print a 3D printer. That probably made 3D printers self aware.
Sorry.

OK, so I'm going to ask a question and I'm prepared for it to seriously trigger some people.

The Office.

I watched the first season (6 episodes) and like 5 episodes of the 2nd season... does it get significantly better or is this kinda how it's going to continue? Maybe this is just one of those shows that's not for me... but I figured I'd give it a try based on reputation and since I loved Parks and Rec and they're often mentioned as similar-ish shows. I'm just finding Michael Scott to be too cringey to tolerate.

First season was trying to be as dry as the original (which I love, ironically), didnt work very well for me. From the second on it got better and better. Love that show

The cringiness won't stop, but I thought it got better as it went along. I recently started rewatching and have been stuck at the end of season one for a while now.

OK, so you recommend toughing it out for a bit and giving it another chance?

I can handle some, but right now it seems like there's too much of that an not enough other things to water it down.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Our company lost internet for like 45 minutes. Fun times.

 

[Flyotes]

The Office seasons 2-6 are fantastic.

Mike Scott is cringey a ton early on. They smooth him out later, but he still has moments. He becomes likeable, believe it or not. Stick with it.

It's so worth it. The blow up of Jan on the beach in the warehouse, I'm still laughing. Comedy gold. The dinner party episode is one of my favorite things all time.

I would say give the second (which got softer IMO as it went by - softer as in the humour being not as dry anymore) and third (if you got time on your hands for that) a chance - I think that would be the point of making final decision

But I hope it will get better for you, there are lots of fine moments you would miss, like the evolution of Creed's character and such

To be upfront, I wasn't a fan. It wasn't Jurassic World bad or anything, but it wasn't particularly good either.

From what I remember, it started picking up somewhere in the middle of Season 2. It might be worth a few more/finishing the season, but you're getting into the area where you're going to like it or not.

 

[Striiker]

Appreciate the advice guys.
