Big Little Lies - Episode 5. I didn't enjoy the last two episodes as much as the first 3. I think they're dragging the book too long and losing the entertainment value, don't like some of the small changes too and I never thought I'd become a book purist. The cast, atmosphere and music is still great, but this episode felt slightly more pretentious than the ones before. Still very addictive and highly watchable. 8/10 Feud - Episode 3. Best episode yet. Yes, the dialog gives too much exposition at times, and at others (Bette and Joan fighting about the Oscars was something straight out of MA, absolutely hilarious but didn't feel particularly natural). Best pacing yet, the framing device didn't bog down the story, I hope that's gone for good but highly doubt it. Thought the two ladies finally sunk into the roles, way less caricatural and more depth. I finally bought Susan Sarandon as Davis and enjoyed her immensely. Lange, who I generally love and prefer over all the actresses in her age group, I don't like as much here. 8/10 The Americans - 5x03. Continues the slow-burn-nothing-really-stands-out-but-still-aces quality of the last 3-4 seasons so, but still so incredibly strong in its fifth season! I swear to God, Russell and Rhys get better every single episode. Loved the glimpse of Martha!!!!! 8/10 Veep - 5x06. I binged all of the previous seasons of this but have been watching Veep at a slow ass pace since like June, which certainly isn't doing this season justice, as the writing feels stronger than ever and the jokes more memorable. Also, the rest of the ensemble keeps rising to JDL's level. Funniest episode of the season yet and that's saying something after episode 4! 8/10

Legion 1x02 and 1x03. Atmospheric, visually stunning but I remain somewhat detached from this and am not even sure if I follow the main plot. The acting doesn't impress me at all, but thankfully Dan Stevens was better in episode 3 than the first two.

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex episode 7, "Idolatry." It was fine, I guess, but pretty weak for a stand alone episode in a show that makes great use of them. Still trying to make out just how this world works.

The Americans: "The Magic of David Copperfield V: The Statue of Liberty Disappears" -- Elizabeth has been put on the backburner recently, it's about time she stepped up and re-claimed her badassery. Keri Russell killed it here, and Matthew Rhys continued his amazing string of episodes. The last five episodes or so were probably the best streak this series has had, and it certainly culminated with this great one. (Loved the silent opening.) By the time Gabriel gives our protagonists a break, we all breathe a much-needed sigh of relief. Really well-done, can't wait to finish the season and get on to the new one.

Big Little Lies - Episode 6.
More very good stuff. It's so great to see literally every single cast member turning in top-notch work, with this being Woodley's time to shine (it's great to see her escaping the ugly shadow the Divergent series cast on her career).

Feud s01e04 - Insanely fun. The oscar drama shown is so over the top but damn entertaining. I am very much loving this show but I find some things a bit unrealistic like here, they are showing Bette Davis a bit nicer (so far). Like there's no way in hell I'd believe she can say 'half a credit for the success of this picture goes to you, Joan' 😀. I really liked how they're also focussing on various other topics as well as the characters. Molina and Wright were superb. 9/10 Big Little Lies s01e06 - Everything notacrook said. The build up to the trivia night is done pretty nicely. All three actresses are giving some of their best perfs esp in this episode. Loved it and really looking forward to the next one. 9/10

I started Narcos because this friend of mine wouldn't have let me live if I did any more delays. Pretty cool stuff and very exciting although I feel I've seen this so many times before. Still, looking forward to the next ones and hope there are enough twists and turns.

Finished up The Americans season four today. Easily, easily the best season yet. Honestly, one of the best TV seasons I've ever seen. Was blown away from start to finish. It was sad to have to say goodbye to so many integral characters, but I imagine that will be commonplace as the series winds to a close. Certainly the darkest season yet, but what amazes me is how this series simultaneously gets progressively darker yet finds an increasing amount of room for comedic moments and levity. I can't wait to start season five, especially with this new Mischa Jr. storyline being introduced that I wasn't expecting but is intriguing as fuck.

Season 5 has been slower so far, but still phenomenally written, acted, directed etc.

I've gotten into the first two episodes of The Americans' fifth season. I just don't get it... how does this show continue to be so good? Hands down the best drama series on TV right now.

Once More, with Feeling (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
Always been a Top 5 Buffy for me, and I enjoyed the watch yesterday so damn much. This is television at its finest.

Big Little Lies finale. I felt the reveal was too obvious which made some parts of the previous episodes kinda unnecessary. That said, I fucking enjoyed it. Valle does a brilliant job and I really like his style. All of them are top notch esp Reese and Nicole. Reese's "Stop staring" to her husband was so funny. 9/10. Overall show, 8-8.5/10
Feud s01e05. Best episode yet. Shows the height of Joan's desperation. The Oscar thing was really well directed and superfun. Both the ladies shine. This was the first time where I saw a bit of Joan in Lange and Susan completely reminded me of Bette here. I thought Paulson was kinda awful as Page and the one who played Bancroft was brilliant. CZJ was just 🔥 🔥 🔥. 10/10
