The guy who plays Dewey Crowe is probably one of my favorite recurring characters in TV history.

That character was hysterical.

Michael Rappaport's character sucked and was not at all believable.

Legion is very good thus far, but the flashbacks and dream sequences/haalucinations are going to start wearing thin on me real quick.

Those are a pretty big part of the story.

My least favorite character on any TV show that I've liked. Ever.

I watched the first episode of Santa Clarita Diet on netflix. The send up is a cheesy family TV comedy with a macabre twist, but I thought it was stupid and unfunny.

Just started watching Justified. Everyone from Kentucky apparently has perfect teeth.

Legion is really weird and fun so far. Probably my favorite show at the moment.

Been catching up on Preacher too and it's grown on me a lot. First episode was just kinda meh, and there are some Tarantino-esque elements from the source material that feel cliched now, but the cast and characters are great.

SNL has been mostly good this year, but last night was a disaster. The Spencer's Gifts sketch is up there for the worst things they've ever done.

From the Dave Chappelle episode on, I think it's been as good consistently as it's been in years. I just wish we didn't have to have Trump for them to bother remembering to be funny.
