That's fair.
It's Always sunny is mainly mine in the context of being comfortable having it on a lot, not the content of course. I think it just works better as background noise. Same for the Office. For whatever reason when I watch Parks I want a real, focused viewing.

See, now I'm a focused viewing with Always Sunny kind of guy.
Interesting that we're the opposite on this. I'm not sure I can explain why it's that way for me, but I couldn't tell you how many times i've had some of the seasons playing in the background. I almost got to the point where I was tired of it, but nah.

my wife and I really like the Luther series from a few years ago so we decided to watch the movie the other night, Luther, the fallen sun...we lasted about 25 minutes

Jury Duty on Amazon:
It's a court case told mockumentary style, and everyone is a professional actor except for one guy who has no idea. And then James Marsden plays an elevated version of himself.

Anybody here ever watch Homeland? Have any strong opinions about it?
A couple weak stretches but overall excellent. Impeccable acting throughout

I watched the whole show. Some in real time, some binged. Think it repeated stuff too much in later seasons, but it had some great moments, not only in season one.

I watched in real time. The show had issues in later seasons as it tried to course-correct after some accusations of overindulging in the islam/terrorism connection and the collapse of TV writing in general following the 2016 election, but it's able to recover and close really strong with tense plotting and many excellent action sequences along the way. I would recommend if you liked The Americans(which was a superior show) or are fans of Mandy Patinkin and F. Murray Abraham who chew up every scene they are in.
