The Agency on Paramount/Showtime is a slow-burn spy drama that I just ripped through pretty quick.

The season isn’t quite finished but so far I would give it an 8/10.

Wife and I got halfway through episode 5 of Skeleton Crew (spa planet) before the kids decided they wanted to watch it with us, so back to the start and we’re about to watch episode 3. So far the kids are engaged and really like the show.

That was a fun episode. Very goonies and Indiana Jones-y. Jude Law is fantastic in this show.

I've been watching "St. Elsewhere" on Hulu.
Man, what a great series. Amazing acting. Plus, a lot of future stars who come to the hospital.
The writing is excellent, especially anything involving William Daniels as Dr. Mark Craig.
The plot lines were very risky for the time - AIDS, illegal immigrants, end of life decisions, abortion and such.

Watched it as a kid because of Harmon.

The Man Behind The Curtain
Caught up with Skeleton Crew through Episode 7 and the show continues to deliver. I like these tight run times rather than the longer meandering episodes Marvel has been putting out in recent years, and this writing team has done a far better job moving the story along within the time allowed than previous Star Wars series. Episode 5's ending was great and created a twist to Jude Law's character that I wasn't expecting. Episode 6 could have ended up as a bump in the road as it relied heavily on character development with the kids, but it was well executed and even the boy who plays Wim did a good job with the material and screen time. Episode 7 finally brings a bit of closure to the mystery of At Attan and ends on a nice cliffhanger for what I'm assuming with be the series finale in episode 8.

At this point my entire family is invested in this show and looking forward to Tuesday nights, and I'm not sure when the last time everyone in the house was excited to sit down and watch something together. Good job Disney.
