We got a sweet deal on our Cable/Internet/phone package as part of their "retention" program, so we've been ODing on some On Demand choices. Finished all of Game of Thrones (excellent), caught up on Dexter (disappointing), watched the end of Alphas (keeps getting better), and we still have American Horror Story and Walking Dead on the go. Slowly turning into a couch potato.

Crap! Just when I was ready to give up on the show, I really like the latest episode!
Totally saw the twist at the end coming, but it worked well nonetheless! Neville's story was actually pretty interesting, and the Jeff Fahey appearance was pretty much awesome!
Bah! Focus on annoying nerd stereotype guy and flashbacks to his boring, personalityless wife pretty blew all the enthusiasm I started to pick up with the last episode.

American Horror Story Asylum continues to be far more intense than last series. Although there isn't much light-hearted fare, I do find it funny that every episode opens with something horrible happening to Adam Levine.

It kept popping up as "recommended" in my Netflix queue, so I finally relented and started watching the early 2000's series "Freaks and Geeks".
Started... aaaaand finished. There were only 18 episodes, and - once I saw an episode or two - I had to just do a marathon of the whole thing.
I was so impressed. It was such a spot-on representation of the way I remember childhood in the late 70's/early 80's. Remarkable for a show of this type, I found the characters incredibly well written - falling into "types" but not crossing the line into cliches.
Well worth a watch.

SO GOOD. So many of those actors were at their best ... and even though many of them went on to supersuccess ... their Freeks and Geeks performances were their best. (IMO)
Suuuuch a shame this was cancelled so early. I came to love it a few years after it fell off the air and was really confused as to why it didn't get great ratings.

As I recall the timeslot wasn't ideal. We watched the first run and liked it, but it wasn't heavily promoted.

Freaks and Geeks is insanely good. I think the only one we watched during it's original run was the last episode, but we were hooked. I wasn't quite as old as the characters but I was close enough to remember that era well. It deserved a longer run but that last episode stands as one of the best finales I've seen.
The show was also hampered by a hiatus that didn't help it build any momentum at all. It's not really the kind of thing you'd have expected a broadcast network to green-light anyway so I'm glad we got what we got.

The last episode was fantastic ... that's what I remember of the series ... and them always hanging out in the stairwell.
