Jessica Jones grabbed me right away, maybe it was the reluctant hero aspect, Luke Cage took a while but grew on me and I liked it as it went along, had some campy 70's aspects but was good, maybe it was the supporting cast used, main characters and reliable, liked Dare Devil, Punisher was very very good as well.

I decided to try Good Girls on NBC and so far I have enjoyed it. I have also been watching McMafia on AMC and enjoying it as well.
If you get HBO Now, go back and watch The Wire, it is one of my all time favorites.
hbo now from my daughter is working fine. i am watching ep 1 of westworld. it is really fun to re watch from a whole new perspective because we know so many secrets!
I'll have to check out the wire.. Good for you DW, that works out great. Now you are all ready for Westworld 2. Do check out The Wire, I would recommend it to any one.
Just a few more days till Westworld. I need to get busy and watch the last episode to clear my mind for the new season.

Iron Fist could have a good story line, seemed to drag a lot and yes the Actor playing Iron fist looks like and acts like he is having a constant blonde moment, gullible enough to be taken and screwed time and time again. I like his sidekick better. I do like how the Iron fist tied into The Defenders however. Iron Fist acts like a dumb Kwai Chang Caine. Will be interested to see if season 2 has more substance. I really liked Jessica Jones which led me to check out Iron Fist and Defenders. Iron Fist did not capture my interest, but Defenders did. I was bonded with several of the characters and had a fair amount of curiosity about them. I enjoyed Luke Cage for the same reason. following the characters along..
If you haven't yet. don't forget to check out Godless DW, I loved Godless. I really wish it were a series. I hated when it ended, I wanted more. I liked Luke from Jessica, so I liked his stand alone also. I have really liked all of them and I love the tie-in Defenders. I hope they continue with all of them.

I'm having another one of those senior moments, LOL, I keep calling Dare Devil, Deadpool. I really got into Dare Devil and I thought The Punisher was one of the best stories of all. He was not in the first Defenders, hoping he will be in the second.
I'm working on Jessica season 2, really like how they are getting into what happened to her. I won't say more in case none of you have watched the second season yet
The only bummer is I have watched all of them and I'm left waiting for more season's. I guess a rewatch never hurts....

I read that article as well and thought the same thing. Rachel and Thandie stole that show! No way anyone on Westworld deserves higher pay! It's about time. It's a shame that it has taken so long for this, but good for HBO for leading the way. Just getting ready to watch Bicameral Mind now. The rewatch has been fun! See you all online after the premier tonight!

There are some professions where I can understand disparity, many construction jobs where physical labor is asked to be done, most not all ladies just don't have the muscle mass to perform without assistance or a assistant tooling that costs more as an example. Acting however and many other jobs that use the mind as your primary tool I can not understand why there would be any difference. The caregiving aspect I think Women do much more naturally as well when it comes to empathy and such things, my better Doctors have always been Women, they actually listen to you better. Nurses and other assist type professions as well. Maybe Women should be paid more as Care Givers them men I think.

Well stated Chris!
As I'm no Einstein, was anyone else confused last night about timing? Mr. Skarsgard (loved him and goodness he is tall) said it had been 11 days. They found Bernard on the beach. Then it pivots to Bernard and friends hiding in the barn to keep from being killed. Presto chango - the gal shows Bernard another hidden secret place to gain access to the computers. How does she not know that he is a host? Even on the beach, he is referred to as "the boss". However, one lady with a gun and a bunch of cards (like baseball cards) has his picture with HIGH under it. And she was going to shoot him! Thoughts?

It's really about time. the only issue should be productivity. race, gender(s), religion are simply not justifiable in accessing value. makes no sense. how can that be a thriving economy when making decisions regarding value on criteria that has nothing to do with it? This has been a long time coming. I am happy to finally see some positive changes in gender disparity. there are many brave women leading the way right now! the struggle is real..

so Ford tells Bernard that he kept him and Doloras separate because of the effect they had on each other. I guess that means that all of the scenes with her in the chair with him last season were Arnold? hmmmmm..? I'm confused! lol!
also, I found myself wondering if Miss Hale is a host. I have a feeling she is. that would be one explanation for not giving Bernard up as well as why the package "did not arrive" and therefore help was not coming!
Can't figure out how Bernard ended up on the beach after his time with hale in the secret lab with the drone hosts?

There was a lot of time jumping, don't think were done yet, we know there was a massacre, we know that the two main antagonists are on a rampage now, Bernard seems to have washed up on shore like the Tiger and then the other floating bodies. We are missing a key component that they are holding back. Hale yes she could be a high level plant/ host that is out of the database. Man in black is now on the hunt and it's no holds barred, I think we start seeing groups getting together here soon.
