There is obviously nothing wrong with this premise, but I swear Spacey sets off my gaydar.
Isn't it basically an open secret that he's gay?

Mike has signed on to Better Call Saul
There's no way this show doesn't end with Jessie calling Saul, right?

I didn't know that about Spacey. I was more talking about lack of emotional depth or a human side in general, but last night I watched the episode where he reunites with his gay lover from the Sentinel and he finally showed some emotion. So maybe there is some truth to it.

I enjoyed the first season enough to watch it all the way through. I thought it was a one season deal. When I heard that Joe Carroll wasn't dead and there was a season two, I expected a disaster. But I gave it a shot and have been pleasantly surprised.

"The Following" is a like a Filet o' Fish compared to the filet mignon (people version) that is Hannibal.

Speaking of which, Hannibal is available via streaming on Amazon now. I pimp hard for this show, but damn it's good.

And True Detective is like the hard R rated version of Hannibal.

True Detective is stellar.
Creepy.
How the last episode ended was spine tingling.

"Like every scary story, this one has a monster" to the dude in his tidy whities, with a gas mask on his face, machete in hand, in the trailer park jungle. Just awesome.
