Really enjoying this show.

Mixed emotions about this show but believe it is getting better with the passage of time. so will stick with it for a bit

I like it, but do find on occasion that for someone supposedly using 90+ percent of their brain synapses he can seem pretty dim even when on the NZT drug.

But you need the tension for the drama.

what makes this show interesting and what could improve it is if the writers would do more research and focus on the theme of their program (ie what would it be like if a human being could use more than 10% of their brain.

If you saw the movie "Lucy" you see what they believed would happen if a person was able to use 100% of the brain.

I love science fiction even the B movies.

conversely I am not enjoying Wicked city and cut it loose
and I am getting very uncomfortable with the Knick because of the lead character self destruction. It would have been nice to have had the writers carry us through the various advances in medicine from the turn of the 20th century . Yet the theme in the ******* executioner seems appropriate for its time. finally enjoying BBC Last Kingdom .

sorry for wandering

Fargo is great again this year. They have a great cast as well. I regret that I did not get out to many of these small towns and cities in Minnesota like Luverne, Bemidji, and others during the five and half years I lived there. I did get to some of these though like Stillwater, Winona, Edina, etc.

I don't have cable tv and I don't like starting a series unless it's from the start. I am enjoying the conversation and hope they make it to Netflix someday.

"tension" is by inserting not so smart actions and dialogue? That's a pretty thin reason.

people want to be involved and when the core discussion is about something they have some interest in they change the subject to something they're more interesting in instead of starting their own post. Not nice.

I thought the movie version with Bradley Cooper and Robert Deniro was underrated, it held my interest and was well made. I haven't watched the TV series because I don't like watching very many series, mostly I'm a movie fan.

I am watching this season of Fargo, it's very good, especially when compared to other TV shows but it is not near as good as season one. I really like Martin Freeman, who play Lester Nygaard in season one. He was on the British version of The Office and played the Jim character and he is Dr. Watson on the UK version of Sherlock Holmes, called Sherlock.

If anyone likes Elementary or Sherlock Holmes and you haven't seen it, and you have Netflix, all 9 episodes from the 3 seasons of Sherlock are on Netflix. They only make 3 per episodes per season because each is 90 minutes long without commericals. They say it takes almost 30 days to film each episode. The next season will premiere in the UK and US on the same day, I believe this January 1st on PBS.

Have only watched the ads for the show. As with a lot of tv series they seem to inject way too much unfunny humor in serious subjects.

I did not see this as a very serious show. It is just entertainment.
