I just started watching Altered Carbon.
And its pretty awesome. Kind of amazing, a Sci fi FX production movie value in TV show form.
Love it so far. Blade Runner esque.

Watching the season 2 premiere of Westworld and I continue to ask myself if there's an allegorical society critique I'm just not getting or if it's just a new spin on a western. I continue to enjoy it, but I can't figure out if it's smarter than me and I'm just missing it's significant theme, or if I should just shut up and be entertained.
I finished it up the other day when I was puking. I liked it a lot. The 10 episode format really worked well for it because they were able to keep each episode tight and exciting. It was a bit predictable at times and required a suspension of disbelief, but it was better quality than most of the network TV channel's put out every week.
The pace doesn't drop off. That was the one thing that had me most happy about it. The first couple of episodes had lots of action and excitement and I kept expecting there to be a lull and it never came. Most shows have a mid season drop off in quality, Lost in Space went strong for all 10 episodes.
Season 3 of Billions started up recently and this show is just as good as ever. I'd put it up there as one of my favorite scripted dramas of all time. I love how they always seem to touch on the current political climate without it ever being overt. Damian
Lewis and Paul Giamatti absolutely kill it on this show. They do a great job of making you understand why both the "good" and "bad" guys in the series have their motivations and how bending morality for profit or justice is probably a bad thing either way. Probably the best show no one is talking about, probably because it's on Showtime.
I have to pick it back up. The wife and I watched somewhere between three and five episodes, and then I think some of the fall shows started, and we never went back to it. Not sure why. I enjoyed what we watched, and I keep hearing people talking about how much they like it. I'm going to have to give it another shot.
