Came across the show "The Leftovers" online.  Anybody watch it?  Noticed low viewership ratings, but it looks like a quality show based on several reviews, and the trailer I saw.  I suspect the lower ratings are due to the odd premise. 

I tried.

I didn't think so.  I couldn't get into it.

Anyone watch the Netflix show "Love"  It's pretty good in a quirky way.

I am, and I'm really enjoying it. I thought the first episode was a bit weak (meaning not that funny) but I'm seven episodes in and it has really grown on me.

Thought "LOVE" was an ok show, much better than "Master of None".  I gave it a 7/10 and thought it got better as is progressed.

Took me half the season to remember why I thought I knew the main character then realized she was in Community.

Finished watching Bosch season two last night and I really liked it a lot. Not that it's very similar aside from the location and the "solve a murder" aspect but I sort of feel that it may have accomplished what True Detective season two tried and failed at.

finished watching netflix  Daredevil season 2. 

started off little wacky, didn't really like the "elektra" aspect, but overall, good series.

Man, I can't wait for the new Archer. Easily the funniest show on TV.

Started watching Firefly while doing the indoor-pedaling-thing. Won't last long but I liked it the 1st time, enjoying it this time around too.

Watched this documentary on HBO last night.  Extremely well-executed biography of an amazing artist.  Definitely rated R and may offend some viewers.

I agree.  Good stuff.  IMO...HBO makes some of the best documentaries you'll ever see.

It's one show the missus watches just for the drama of the story outside of the jargon.  She just looks at me when they're talking finance and all of a sudden I howl.

Oh, and Malin Akerman is hawt - not my usual type, but her portrayal of mama-bear-:censor: in a soccer-mom-suit is SPOT ON.
