I remember liking it in real time. I haven't revisited it since and the main thing I remember is that creepy dancing baby.

Sweet!

If you have any thoughts about how to divide up the conferences, I'm all ears.

I'm going to be out of town next week. If you want to set this up and getting it going, by all means, have at it. Otherwise, I'll set it up after next week when I get back.

I don’t want to set it up. I just thought it’d be an interesting topic for a tourney with Saul coming to an end.

Issues with a few of these:

-Lonesome Dove and American Crime Story are miniseries. That opens the door to all sorts of other stuff.

-I suggest we bid any series that aren’t wrapped by the time the tourney begins (so Saul is in but Barry is out)

I was going to suggest that the series have at least three seasons of not a mini-series. Therefore, something like Severance would be out. But we could do it your way.

Why are the two miniseries you mentioned problematic but not the others I included in the example?

I don’t think miniseries should be included either. It’s an easier task to be great for 3 nights or 10 episodes.

Add Elementary to this list. It will go out early for lack of viewers, but I think one of the main benefits of tourneys like these is reading someone’s take and giving it a shot. Maybe Burn Notice should be on here?

Elementary turned out to be a lot better than I expected. Liu was actually great as Watson and Miller is my favorite on-screen Holmes. A very enjoyable show.

I’m fine either way, just think it warrants a little discussion. Olive Kitteridge?! If there’s an opening, I want it in!

I must’ve missed the other miniseries when I read the list.

In any event, some sort “at least three seasons” or “the show has wrapped” or some designation would be helpful. Tough to qualify something like Barry that made a hard pivot in S3 — some say to its detriment — but could finish really strong next season.

You can't have series that are in progress. Game of Thrones would be exhibit A.

So that means Barry, The Bear, Stranger Things, Succession, Yellowstone. Maybe True Detective, unless as an anthology series you want to pick one season.

I think TD/anthology series are fair game

I think you can only do TD under that logic if you pick one season (because it's coming back, so otherwise would fall into the same position as Barry)
