    Very little is as good as the original. I did like how they broke the 4th
    wall in the final episode and how they paid homage to Sterling.

    Yup! I saw that one, thought it was good.

    I did enjoy the episode where the cop is harassing the woman no matter how much she rewinds the camera. I didn't really care for the SJW-crap at the end however.

    That and the plane episode are good as well.

    It's amazing what an about face Jordon Peele has made from his time on Kay & Peele. I'm a horror fan and he has hit the ground running with his stuff.

    Yup, his stuff is good.

    Friends of mine keep suggesting I get into American Horror Story and some others, I just haven't had the time. I must be the only person in the world
    who has not watched a single episode of Game of Thrones. I have the
    episodes; just no time to bingewatch anything. If I try, I end up falling asleep on the couch half the time.

    I have a large collection of horror... good and bad. I even have a copy of Star Crystal.

    I enjoyed AHS for the first 2 or 3 seasons and then it got boring, lost it's luster.

    You have to binge watch GoT, it's the only way to enjoy it.

    The 80's computer alien that kills everyone, 80's sci-fi/horror at it's best.

    I was a huge fan and the first 4-ish seasons are masterful. However, the
    whole thing goes off the rails and basically insults the intelligence of its audience. I'd skip it. Read the books or just keep your head in the sand, it isn't worth the frustration.

    It was clear that the show runners really couldn't replicate Martin's vision
    or his magic. The books are in my top 5 favorites of all time, I came late to them, about 10 years ago, a few years before the show started and I plowed through them in about 6 weeks (I travel a lot for work!).

    I am trying to unlearn everything I watched from season 5 on and will wait patiently for the next installment in the book series.

    Apparently in the year 2035, 80's hairstyles will make a comeback.

    I have spent good money (mostly my employers benefits, so their money)

    I'm in the wrong profession. I should be paid hundreds per hour just to ask rhetorical questions to people parked on my couch all day long.
