Up to 99% on Rotten Tomatoes!
Is it weird that it now feels weird to have to wait a week for new episodes of a show?

yes

we delay even starting new series until there’s at least a few episodes already out

I think it’s wise by HBO.

we gave in and watched Last of Us

i’m definitely intrigued (never played the game), but i’m not sure 99% on rotten tomatoes is justified based on the first episode

Most reviewers get a screening of several episodes if not the whole series.
99% is a high bar to set though - really nowhere to go but down.

Users giving it a 96% but that's off the first episode.
I'm sure that's bolstered by a number of gamers who just love that they, so far, have stayed close to the source ( with plenty of nods ).

I don't remember setting the dvr for this but, I picked up a horrifically bad blackspoitation movie called Dolomite.

It's kinda fun. N-bombs, every line has mother fucker in it, gratuitous boobs, kung-fu chick's. Cadillac and hats, oh the hats.

I recorded the 1st two episodes of Night Court. Awful. Which is sad because the original was really good.

good to know

i liked watching the original as a kid (Bull was my fav), but didn’t have a lot of high expectations for the reprise

It looks pretty terrible. Thank you for confirming so I don't feel the need to try it out.

I watched the first 2 episodes of this last night and it was really good. Will probably finish it this week.
