Yeah, reading about that ending makes me really glad I stopped watching that P.O.S.

Not only did I stop watching with 2 episodes left in season 1, I have refused to read any reviews of this season. [expletive] that show for stringing me along for the x amount of hours they got me in season 1.

I know you're not really asking, but I sincerely dislike shows like this. I am an easy mark, entertainment wise. I can enjoy pretty much anything (excluding reality TV). I have an affinity for bad entertainment. I believe there's inherent value in some of the worst movies/shows made, especially if they're made earnestly... I have little patience, however, for dime store artists (read: [expletive] showrunners) trying to put their imprint on something that's already great (Forbrydelsen). That show just tries to hard to be dramatic, it's too formulaic. The episode arc was mind-numbing: spend 55 minutes setting-up a character as the killer, spend 4 minutes on a SURPRISE twist showing is wasn't them, then 1 minute teasing next episode's red herring.

[expletive] that noise, I only have so much free time, I'll use it somewhere else.

A Breaking Bad fan put this video together. It's [expletive] awesome and you should watch it if you watch the show. There are spoilers for every single season.

Dish and AMC better get their little spat settled before the premiere in a few weeks.
Or I'll be complaining to both daily.

Did anyone watch Life? I watched a couple episodes on Netflix and it's pretty good, but am afraid to commit if it didn't resolve itself before it was cancelled. Anyone?

There are still unanswered questions, but it's not a cliffhanger by any means. I enjoyed it.

Am enjoying the second season of "Episodes". It's nice to see Matt LeBlanc working again, and good Christ that blonde is hot.
