    absolutely .
    The Crown doesn’t do anyone any favors, it portrays everyone with warts and all. But Margaret Thatcher comes off as an asshole-extraordinaire.

    They did a great job with Gillian Anderson as Margaret Thatcher. (Also, side note: she's been in a relationship for the past few years with Peter Morgan, who is the creator and writer of The Crown.)

    There are so many Brits, Irish and Australian actors that play Americans it’s fun to see an American play play one of them.

    Fargo might be trying too hard this season.

    I quit watching after about three episodes. It's shot with such poor lighting it's impossible to see many of the scenes and there is just not enough action or storyline.

    Fargo peaked in Season 1 (the best) and Season 2. All downhill from there.

    My wife started watching Life In Pieces on Prime this weekend. I have to say, it has at least one or two “pause it because we are laughing” moments per episode.

    Fargo's season two is probably my favorite season of TV ever.

    I enjoyed the first episode of Big Sky. Could be a good one.

    Very funny show. Solid cast. And when the nerdy kid's mom meets his girlfriend.....

    Fargo: I'm halfway through S3. S1 was startling with 3-4 people getting killed in the first 30 minutes. Billy Bob irritates me as a viewer. S2 was pretty intense, holy shit, the Culkin brother in E1 and recognizable stars Danson, Wilson, Dunst, Plemons, Smart. S3 seems to be losing steam. Thewlis is too hard to understand, not just his diction but what he is actually trying to say. I'm split on the fact they might take 5-6 episodes to explain something that might have happened in E2; good writing but damn, if I can't figure out something, I forget it and move on. I'm sure I'll finish the series.

    That happened quite a bit in Ted Lasso with Brits who were obviously from the Alabama region of London.

    Had to rewind many times to try to understand and still barely did.

    I somehow had never watched an episode of Bob's Burgers before, so I started from the beginning on Hulu and holy shit is that humor right up my alley.
