As someone who loved season 1, thought season 2 was decent, the 3rd was just painful to watch. So many plot holes and inconsistencies you can pick off as they happen. Foggy was lame, but I thought Matt, and every FBI agent, was far worse. Spoilers Reveal hidden contents Fisk needed to die. Matt letting him live just shows he learned nothing. Trusting Fisk's word? That worked well last time... Matt convinces Dex into wanting Fisk dead, just so he can prevent it? It was the perfect setup, so Matt didn't have to kill, instead he'd risk his life to protect Fisk, meanwhile he doesn't stop Dex from killing the other agents in the main hall. That's consistent. Ray didn't need to die. If he was going to give up, he should have at least attempted to kill Fisk. He knew where Fisk was after all. A whole episode dedicated to Dex's childhood was long and boring. He's only been in the show for 4 episodes at this point, not deserving of a full episode like Karen got. Spread out his character development. There were plenty of other smaller problems, like Matt leaving the guy who shanked Fisk alone with Karen, but it all could've ended in a semi-satisfying way if Fisk died. Instead he'll be back in season 4 and Matt will act surprised that he didn't keep his word. Complete disappointment. Netflix has ruined yet another show that began with such promise. There were a lot of things about the 2nd half of season 3 that I didn't like. But the first half was very well done. Especially the prison episode (S3 E4), which was IMO one of the best single episodes of an action series I have ever seen. Overall, I found the positives outweighed the negatives. For me, the worst part of season 3 is Vanessa. She's such a focal point of the story (far too much at that), but the actress who plays her makes her seem wooden and lifeless. Especially in the last episode, when she's just standing there for the entire climax, watching... I didn't recall her being so void in season 1.

brilac Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 (edited) Psycho Kitty - 9. I'm learning great tips about cats. And that most cats train their owners, and how to stop that. Like, don't respond when kitty wakes you up at 4am for cat food. And cats who hate their pet carrier, leave the pet carrier with the door off in the living room and reward your cat with kitty treats if she/he goes in the carrier, becomes more comfortable with it, and other great tips.

HI5 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Narcos México— definitely worth adding to your watch list if you liked the first Narcos. Found myself googling a few of the main characters throughout. Original Narcos, I actually stopped watching after Pablo was gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has become a whole lot disjointed and it jumps around too much. It struggles to follow up with story lines. Playing the feminism card too much, making a mockery of it (perhaps deliberate?). Re: disjointed and jumping around I almost feel like I have to rewatch a couple of episodes. Finished it up last night Don't even &^@#ing bother if you haven't given it a try. Very unfortunate that all that acting talent was wasted on that script and story line.........if I can even call it a story line.

D-Money Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Brooklyn 99 - The most consistently funny show on Netflix. I mean, it started out so-so, but has been getting better each season. Mostly due to better secondary characters. Jake, Holt, and Terry were always funny, but the other characters were a bit lame early. But by season 4, even Scully and Hitchcock (probably the weakest characters at the beginning) were earning some decent laughs. I just finished S5 E1&2. Both gave me multiple full-on gut-laughs, mostly from guest Tim Meadows' character, Caleb the cannibal (who was awesome). But the best line came when Holt (who is gay) was trying to distract a security guard with a story of a love triangle between him, his "female wife", and his mistress: Guard: It just seems like you wanna be with Jamie-Lynn. I mean, you keep talking about her thigh gap.Captain Holt: That's my favorite part of a woman. There's nothing more intoxicating than the clear absence of a penis.
