Some things cannot be forgiven. I will find a way to get back at you, Netflix!
The first isn't unwatchable at all imho. But the 2nd and 3rd are completely different beasts.
Liittle people, log ladies, murderous spirits, etc... Show is weird. Pretty much only watching it to catch up for the return.

Suppose the return gives me a reason to finish it eventually.
Dale Cooper is the best. One of my favorite characters in any show.

though I do think jazz ghosts added nothing to the series whatsoever except the opportunity for the best Freddie Mercury impression I have ever heard in my entire life
Seriously, that was a great show and despite all of the crudeness was a very sex positive show.
oh god it's between my toes
I can't agree more. That concert scene with them screaming intellectual pretentious bullshit at each other for minutes on end really set off alarms for me. It gets much better afterwards.
Wait what's Rafi in now
I should probably learn that guys name
Jason Mantzoukas.
He's in Big Mouth.

I am aware you use My Cravings as a way to keep track of what I'm watching most recently, which is useful to me since it appears right at the top!
You know what's not useful? Automatically removing titles from My Cravings after I have watched the last episode, particularly when you have series that put out new episodes every week, meaning every single time I watch the latest new episode, you remove the title from My Cravings because I've "finished" it.

You seem awfully mad at some random person I and I would bet most people have never even heard of.
It's all just scheduling like everything else for 50 years ago.
Plus there's no real "still" here. Dumping all your episodes at once and then not dropping more for a long time is a new thing. The old style was the network model where you'd have a break over the summer between seasons and then you'd sprinkle small breaks over the course of the year here and there, with usually a big one in the middle for christmas break.
The newer style of generally less episodes dropped in a package (either a binge dump for online services or just a 2-3 month every week event for cable) is I think a lot healthier for the industry too since it lets more shows survive and get seen because they aren't all competing against one another at the same time.

I didn't watch it religiously but I did see a few episodes from each season. It seemed good enough IMO. I can't comprehend why anybody would have an issue with the show ending for any reason other than being disappointed it's not on anymore.
Based on the first few episodes, second season seems more solid than the first one. The characters have kind of found their voices and the jokes land more consistently. Also Tricia Helfer joins the cast, and she's always a delight. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys this kind of lighthearted fantasy/horror fare (think Buffy, Supernatural, Constantine, Charmed...).
That's warranted mocking for a Netflix show in the Netflix thread, not unwarranted hatred. Hatred is reserved for Captain America, Collective Soul, and my own posts. Handler became one of those annoying celebrities who said she'd leave the country if Trump got elected, only to back out. And now with a middling reviewed show that was reduced in episode count and seemingly under performing, to spin it like the show must end in order for her to go become an engaged citizen (those were her own words ), it just reeks of ego.
I bring up the gaps in her show only to make a point that it seemed like the show, despite not having the same rigorous schedule of usual talk shows, had plenty of opportunities to retool or not achieve a burnout for the staff. This was supposed to be a new attempt for Netflix to launch into a more topical, timely format and you can't do that when you have repeated gaps in the show. It felt like they were bilking Netflix. And all that money they took probably came from the Marvel TV location budget, which is why we will never escape abandoned warehouses.
In other news I've started watching The Exorcist tv series on Netflix and I'm really enjoying it. It's shot really well and has a great atmosphere.
Seemed like a logical adaption of the show post-Trump. No one ever leaves when their favored candidate loses elections, you know that - and that goes for both sides. I don't think she's faking her hatred of Trump, and I don't see where your getting that from from that article. Why would her canceling her show t pursue activism be egotistic, wouldn't that be the opposite? She'd be losing money being an activist. It comes across as confused anger at her for daring to reconfigure her career to take aim at Trump. Something every comedian in the country does.
Comedy shows have been having a resurgence since Trump took office RE: Last Week Tonight, Late Show with Colbert, Seth Meyers, Samantha Bee etc. I haven't seen a reaction like this since W was elected. Aside from Jimmy Kimmel, who's starting to get fallout in the ratings for cozying up up to Trump, and his lack of being funny.
I think it's just that in this instance 'I'm quitting TV to focus on activism' is only slightly more believable than 'Canadian girlfriend'.
