Way better than I expected. I havent seen any of the other Marvel series installments so I don't know how it measures up, but as a standalone this is a good watch and the music picks are stellar. 

I agree. 😎

One of the best shows on television IMO. You need to watch all of the seasons.

Detective Hole - Netflix, based on Jo Nesbo novels

My wife and I used to really like the show "Elsbeth" on CBS. But it has gotten ridiculously repetitive. Even worse, the mysteries are always "insta-solved". The latest one we watched, she gleamed the murderer in less than 30 seconds. I know we're supposed to believe that Elsbeth is very good at detecting, but this one was absolutely insane - the husband had already confessed to the murder.

I liked the Elspeth character on The Good Wife so I watched the show a few times when it began.  I burned out on it pretty quickly because the format tells you the solution up front and then you are left to watch Elspeth masterfully - or painfully and transparently after a few disappointing episodes - figure out the solution to the mystery.  Tada!

My girlfriend likes Elsbeth. But it's definitely the same show over and over again. I think she likes the character as well as the famous guest stars that show up.

I like Elsbeth. It's definitely the character, which I have enjoyed since "The Good Wife," though now she's become Sherlock Holmes in many ways, and i enjoy how she is somewhat like Sherlock and Columbo combined. It's a fun show. . . I like fun shows to escape within.

Breaking Bad. I completely missed the original run but now I am seeing A LOT of YouTube clips of the show, discussions of it with Vince Gilligan, the creator, and interviews with the main actors. I have a mixed impression of it. I appreciate the acting and the production, the music, etc., but I am not sure what to think of the themes. It doesn't seem believable to me, or even something to hold on to or care about. I guess I prefer to see moral issues handled in a different way. I guess I am watching it more out of curiosity over it, asking what's all the buzz about it. That was the way I approached watching The Sopranos YEARS after it ran on TV. I got way more into it than Breaking Bad. Don't know why.
