The Detour is pretty funny and Natalie Zea is super hot. It's worth watching.

Man. The Americans has really done some great stuff this season. It gets a little dry at times, but they've played this story with bringing their daughter into "the business" almost perfectly. This last episode was particularly masterful.

Nothing particularly exciting in terms of action, but lots of great character development that pays off later and everyone's motives are understandable. The FBI side continues to be a weak spot for me, but it's had some good moments this season too.

Binge watched "Six Feet Under" on HBO this weekend. Arguably one of the greatest series finales ever.

Yeah, this show nails it. At its heart, it's a family drama. Page's dawning realization about the layers of lies her parents have told her is kind of heartbreaking. I think we're starting to see what the endgame of the series might look like, and it's going to be rough.

I was excited Wayward Pines was back for a 2nd season. So far, I'm wishing they hadn't.

I feel like Silicon Valley has staled a little bit. Seems to be picking up now. For me it doesn't work well when it's just episodes that don't push the longer arc. Maybe they need to do a better job of of little mini-arcs or something.
