Welcome to Thunderdome

Yay! Netflix

This one was suggested to me for forever, but I was always in the middle of 3 other serieses and I hadn't gotten to it... until now.

That guy from those things you've seen... James Spader? Plays a really bad guy who turns himself in to the FBI, and in return for immunity begins delivering to them the worst people in the world, one at a time.

I've watched two episodes total, and I am in for the long haul... and I already have some speculation that I don't think I should say here because they could be spoilers.

Good series. But then just about anything with Spader in it usually is. Hell of an actor.

I still don't know what is the deal with the husband, whether he is a bad guy or not, but GOD DAMN is he annoying as a fucking husband to that chick. He is like a walking vagina. I just don't know any other way to describe him. I respect her character less because that's the kind of man she wanted to marry. Maybe that's why Red keeps warning her about him.... Red knows the guy has so much estrogen that...

well, he's annoying.

Yes. Annoying is a good word.

I am looking forward to further updates on this topic.

I watched one ep of this. Spader's character reminds me of a buddy I know if he decided to dedicate his life to criminal pursuits.

This is one of those series I don't watch regularly. It gets recorded on the DVR and I ignore it for months because I'm not compelled to watch. But then when I do get around to watching one ep I end up plowing through them all rapidly because I can't stop.

It's right in that zone somewhere between really good and just okay. I do the same thing with Better Call Saul and S.H.I.E.L.D., which it's about on par with.

Half way through season 1. Vagina Man is stepping out with another woman.

Meanwhile, Super Government Agent Woman kills at least 1 person per episode, and in one episode she cut through about 10 bad guys John Mcclane-style. And then the one time a concealed-carry guy pulls out a gun, he accidentally shoots a child.

Ok, got it.

I hate every scene with him.

I kinda like it. Going through it now while biking. On episode 12 of S1 so far.

Large # of good actors having 1 or 2 episodes as person of the week.

Spader is gold. Most everyone else on this show is “meh”. I hate how slow they are to figure things out.

The end of season 3 and start of season 4 is getting tiresome. According to this, S4 gets better, and the series hits a high point in S6, then dies.
