Agree. This show moves up to top tier status with Breaking Bad, The Wire and a handful of others.
We are experiencing an awesome few months of TV right now - Hacks, Barry, The Boyz to name a few on right now!

There are few venomous lizards. One is the Gila ("hee-luh") Monster, native to here in the Sonoran Desert. Many people have been arrested for capturing Gila Monsters, and keeping or selling them as pets.

I am DVR'ing the latest season of "Barry" but have not watched any of it yet. "The Boyz" is next on our list once we finish the final few episodes of 'Ozark". Hacks is another one I want to check out. Just too much great stuff on TV right now.
I don't watch The Boyz, but I can highly recommend Hacks. Absolutely outstanding writing and acting.

This Brian K Vaughan story is being adapted as a live action series by Amazon Prime, and the Series premiere is on July 29th.
I worry it may get promoted and pigeon-holed as a Stranger Things ripoff, when in fact it predates ST and actually is a lot different than it is similar to Stranger Things. But so be it. Hopefully it will find more success than Y: The Last Man did, sadly.

Brian K Vaughan also has "The Great Machine" coming, which is a feature film in the works that is an adaptation to his story "Ex Machina," and is expected to star Oscar Isaac. Ironically, it is completely unrelated to the A24 film "Ex Machina" which Oscar Isaac was also in.

This show shows how stupid America has become. The Marching Morons are here.
Not confusing at all.

For you fans of Letterkenny, the new show Shorsey dropped May 27. I discovered it totally by accident.
2˝ minutes into the first episode and I was cracking up. Unfortunately, there are only six episodes. So that's a bummer.

Just finished The Staircase last night. Not sure it was worth all the time invested.

Finally finished “Ozark” last night. No spoilers, but it ended the way I thought it might. The whole car accident thing was a red hearing that in the end was a total manipulation of the viewer which I thought was kind of lazy writing. The show really really wanted to be “Breaking Bad” level, but having just watched the latest “Better Call Saul” episodes, “Ozark” was not even close. Still, I did enjoy the series for the most part. The two main leads were great in their roles and Julia Garner created what may be an all-time great TV character and became a star. The writing on the show was good, but not great. As a person who worked in the pharmaceutical industry, the whole last season storyline of a pharma company buying raw product from a drug dealer was ridiculous, but I guess it made for good tv. In they end I liked “Ozark” a lot, but didn’t love it. The way they left things they could certainly do more episodes someday if they ever decide to revisit the show.
Yeah, someone needed to die in that car accident. It was almost disappointing that they all got up and walked away.

Watched the latest season of Peaky Blinders. Superb. No spoilers.

Or at least be injured or something. The whole thing was just an audience manipulation and had absolutely no bearing in the story.
I believe I have read that this was the final season? Could be wrong on that.
3 episodes into the new season of The Boys. This show is probably not for everyone, but I think it is one of the best things on TV right now.
I saw it as creating a way to make what happened in certain family relationships more believable....or maybe that's what you mean by manipulation.

Totally agree. I love the show, my wife can't seem to get into it.

I am not sure that is how I saw it. I mean, if the scene had been left out of the show it would have made absolutely no difference on anything to me. It was just a red hearing thrown in for people to speculate on how the series would end that eventually served no purpose.
I think you may be right that it would have worked just as well without it, but the writers may not have seen it that way. Isn't there some sort of companion documentary thing on the final season? Maybe they talk about the reasoning in that.

No, they do not address it. And I agree with Steve's view, here. But, at the end of the day, we really enjoyed the show, and that's all that matters.
We also just finished Bosch: Legacy and were happy to see it carry on as just a continuation from the original show. Bosch is a PI now, which should open up some different storylines. And I like how they're handling his daughter's story. Another thumbs-up from us.

I looked it up and answered my own question. This was the final season, but they are planning a movie.
