    I really hate that. I hate the idea that society has given up on making good TV. A good TV show is like a crack rock. It’s all promethazine and 7Up now

        We agree on that score. That’s the tricky thing about shows that are genuinely that good, you finish them fast. I actually don’t mind when they release them once per week. Delicious in Dungeon looms larger in my memory than Blue Eyes Samurai, even though I liked BES a bit more.

      Arcane was brilliant. They’re still making good TV, but like always, it’s the exception.

          I wasn’t interested and walked away half way through the first episode, but my wife kept watching. That got me to give it another try. It changes dramatically after the first episode. That’s the only episode where they’re kids. The show spans decades, and time jumps quickly.
