Yeah, I learned that the hard way in episode 6, unfortunately. Huge downwards slide from the previous three episodes, imo, though still watchable. At least Jonathan beat the living shit out of him. Totally worth getting arrested for, lol! And, Adam, you probably won't hate The Flash as much as I did. I probably just needed to drop those shows, because I reached a point where the flaws were bothering me so much there just wasn't any point to watching them even more. The formula was wearing thin and I just had too much of it. Even Stranger Things is guilty of some of the complaints I have with those shows (episode 6 did it in spades, actually) but at least so far it's had more than enough great parts to balance out the few weak parts, where CW shows were pretty much just all weak recently. Hell, even Game of Thrones has been getting formulaic to a fault recently, and my enjoyment of that has slid off quite a bit. The only show in recent memory that ended before it could possibly wear thin was Person of Interest, which actually got better over time and ended incredibly. Pretty much anything else I've watched over a long time in recent years has ended up letting me down at some point or another.

Well The Flash is finally back on UK screens tonight. I've not got high expectations given everything Travis has said about it and the other shows. Like with The Walking Dead I won't watch it live tonight but will wind through the adverts tomorrow.
Speaking of TWD even winding through the adverts I found that mid-season premier to be a real drag, the same problem as the rest of this season.

Anyone else here into classic TV shows? I've just started watching The Odd Couple, and have been enjoying it so far.
Also watched the Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode where they riff The Castle of Fu Manchu last night. It's mind-blowing that Christoper Lee was in such a cheesy and terrible film franchise in the 60's.

I think you're taking the show way too seriously, it's a sci-fi show with kids after all. Me and my wife got hooked on it and watched the whole thing in a weekend.

Well, 5 episodes in now and it definitely is getting better as it goes along. If I didn't have other things I wanted to do before going to bed, I'd marathon the rest of the season, but instead I'll wait and watch it tomorrow. Nancy has definitely gotten much better, btw. I think it was more Steve who was ruining her plot for me in the first couple episodes, so with him pushed into the background a bit, things have been going much better.

Honestly, when I tried watching season 2 of The Walking Dead, I was finding that to be incredibly slow, even. I watched 5 or 6 episodes and it felt like pretty much shit all had actually happened and I was getting bored to death, so I just gave up on it. Seems like one of the most overrated shows of all time, imo.
I'm going to watch one episode of Stranger Things in a few minutes and then one or two more later tonight, so I'll have a better idea of how I feel about that show by the end of the night, I think.

I'm saving The Walking Dead for tomorrow so the adverts can be fast-forwarded. I have found the first half of this current season more of a drag though. I think it would be better if there condensed it a bit. There seems to be a lot of episodes for very little in the way of plot progression to actually happen.

I haven´t read the comics, but I have to agree with you regarding the Tv-series starting to get a bit uninteresting. I really hope they´ll end it soon. It started out brilliant, but few series can go on for this long and not lose their breath along the way.

Nancy's story-line only really starts to become connected to the main plot with episode 3.

I watched two episodes of Stranger Things so far, and I'm not totally hooked yet, but it does look interesting. I find the main mystery and El quite interesting so far, and some of the weird horror parts are neat, but some of the sub plots more grounded in reality have been boring and I hope they either connect to the more interesting parts or get dropped completely, because some of it is super cliche and dull (Mike's sister's plot is just pathetic, for example.)

The Walking Dead is getting worse and worse which is strange since the source material, the comics that is are so good. But they made so many changes in the TV series, some of them much worse, I do not know where the show is going. I do not want to spoil it for you... Just my thoughts concerning the last season especially.

Finally working my way through two extremely popular shows: Game of Thrones and The Sopranos. I'm almost done Season 3 of GoT, and in the middle of Season 4 of The Sopranos.

I don't know what's going on. Usually episodes come weekly until a mid-season break, but lately, there are longer breaks between episodes, like 2-3 weeks. Anyway...

^ Is that the same network in the US? It's on I think the E4 channel here whereas Lucifer is Amazon Prime (normal TV only got Lucifer season 1 late 2017 in the UK).
