Lasso finale was spectacular... the ending a show that great deserves. This final season has been full of some amazing moments, and I believe, a couple of the best episodes of the series entire run. I laughed SO hard last night watching the finale, and had moments where I thought I might cry. It was beautiful, with all the feels, without being melodramatic and obvious. Brilliant swerves and tied up loose ends nicely. 

Agreed- almost perfect series finale. Great episode.

Not my favourite L & O series but welcome nonetheless. It does point out the dearth of fresh ideas in TV series, though.

Wife and I watch all 3 LO's that are out now and really enjoy them, but man....a Canadian production -version of it...... does not seem like a good idea. I don't want to **** on Canadian arts, because musically, I am a big supporter......but, like, a ******* "Hudson and Rex" version of LO: CI seems like the worst thing ever, and a way to completely taint the brand that **** Wolf has built.

I was thinking crossover not bringing a dog onto the show, but I don't expect them to do one (besides H&R is more of a comedy-drama than a drama-drama)

and yet they keep True Detective going

really? fridays come on, the show deserves better than the stupid death slot (I mean I'd rather it not be on the Sunday slot either)

I'm still getting used to a Trebek-less Jeopardy this really is the end of an era

Might as well just end the show when he leaves, same as Jeopardy should have done.

I just hope this doesn't result in a long host search like with Jeopardy (unless they already picked Vanna for the big job)

Finally watched the last episode of Succession, glad it’s over and I’m done.

Sadly, after 40 hours of that train wreck (which i thoroughly enjoyed)- that is exactly how i felt.

Pretty miffed about the ending though... felt it was pretty weak.

Thoroughly enjoyable watching experience but when you cheer against and despise every character I knew no other way to feel. As someone else said the ending was telegraphed a bit but I didn't believe that would be the way it would go. I was wrong, it is over and now on to something a little less negative...

I balanced Succession with Barry and Ted Lasso.

 

Looking forward to Star Trek: Strange new worlds.

I still need to check out Barry. You can only watch 3 seasons of Ted Lasso so many times right?

Finished watching Lasso, loved the series but the ending was kinda meh as endings usually are,, two more episodes of Picard to go

You're coming up to the Tribble conclusion! 

Succession, Barry and Lasso were all great and I thought they all landed the plane just fine. The Lasso finale, in particular, was just an incredible hour of television. I desperately needed it to counter the negativity/cynicism of Succession/Barry....

11PM - Had a nearly 3 bottles of coke, Munchies and started watching The Days on Netflix about the Fukushima Reactor / earthquake / tsunami / meltdown.

Season 7 of Billions is coming soon!

I think the next thing coming that I'm excited for is Righteous Gemstones, and the announcement of Winning Time S2 yesterday (coming in August) is exciting as well. Both really well done shows.

Righteous Gemstones has some hilarious moments at times. A must watch if you like Danny McBride.

Never had a chance to watch Ted Lasso because I refuse to support Apple in any way, shape, or form. Wish there was another way. Someday I'll probably view it for sure.

Torrent?

have total respect for "**** Apple", but yeah, hopefully you can find a way to watch Lasso. It's one of the truly great shows of our generation.
