Season one is amazing. Season three was also very good. Skip season two, as it was pretty bad.

Thank you.
I generally don't bother with television drama in any form. I prefer comedy.

Then definitely don't skip True Detective season 2.
A couple of recent Netflix shows I can recommend (both are pretty violent):
- The Brothers Sun (with Michelle Yeoh) - funny at times, with entertaining fight scenes.
- Blue Eye Samurai (an English language anime) - high-quality animation and a surprisingly deep, layered story.

Season 1 is a masterpiece.
Season 2 was underwhelming, and I remember very little of Season 3.

Season 1 of True Detective is the most fun I've ever had watching a TV show. The fan theories, based on incredible evidence, were f***ing amazing. The whole conversation around the show ruled.

Yep.
First show I remember immediately heading to Reddit after each episode to read the theories and speculation.
That and The Leftovers.

The Leftovers is my favorite drama ever. I also think it's on the short list of best shows ever.

The episode “Two Boats and a Helicopter” may be my favorite episode of a tv show ever.
Masterful.

Every Matt episode is a 10/10. "No Room at the Inn" and "It's a Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt World" are both amazing.
The ending of NRATI is one of the best sequences ever.

Yes.

I kind of got roped into watching Young Sheldon when it hit Netflix. I had strong prejudices against it because I really didn't like Big Bang Theory, but if I knew that Annie Potts and Wallace Shawn were in it and would be carrying so much of the weight I would've watched it years ago. In the end it's far from the worst show I've seen.

I think that was one of their marketing slogans: Our show may not be great but it's far from the worst show you'll see.
I've never watched the show, though familiar its premise.

‘For all Mankind’ Ends Its Greediest Season
In an interview, the showrunners discuss the space drama’s just-concluded fourth season, in which exploration gave way to exploitation.

It's a daytime soap opera in space.
Most television drama is, which is why I don't bother with most of it.
I'll take comedy any day.
Soap operas are the key for many an actor moving onto the movies and TV space. Most famous and talented actors have been on soap operas. It's 50-100 page dialog a day, sometimes only 1 take. Hardest job in the acting industry.
I love my soap operas.

I watched the Luke and Laura saga on General Hospital, but only because it was what every girl in school was obsessed with, so I figured it would give me an edge. Plus I had 4 sisters and we had one TV.
I scheduled my college classes so I'd be done by 3PM when it aired & I was not the only one
