To answer your question: no. But you should still watch it just because it's a massive hit. For me, the show is overrated; it's fine, but it's definitely not the life-changing masterpiece everyone claims it is.

I know it's a totally different vibe, but shows like Homeland and Billions are fantastic. Then again, Taboo and Narcos are on a whole other level. I'm taking a break from everything right now, but I just wanted to mention it so nobody misses out if they love great TV.

Taboo is total garbage, plain and simple. Personally, I think Game of Thrones is actually better this season than usual; it's evolved into this heavy but entertaining kind of trash, at least they aren't dragging things out forever like they used to. Narcos is great, Fargo is great, even if that last season felt a bit lackluster.

One person thinks Homeland is garbage, another calls Taboo trash... we're never going to agree on anything. 👍 😁

As far as I'm concerned, this doesn't even come close to being relevant to me...

Anyone catch "I'll Always Love You"? That one with Gilda, Mauricio, and the rest of the crew. A total classic. 👍

Sure, that's exactly how I picked up my Spanish.

Forget those cookie-cutter, recycled shows for a second and just dive into the new Twin Peaks. Honestly, television is finally starting to push past its own boundaries.

Do you actually need to sit through the old stuff just to make sense of the new installment? Because if that's the case, I'm passing... absolutely no way I'm wasting my time like that.

You don't need the old ones, but honestly, you should probably catch at least one Sopranos episode.

Yeah.

Just check out 😬

Look, I’ve been bingeing this for three full seasons now, and suddenly everyone is acting all sour about what comes next...

Amanda Evans2 said:I wouldn't call it bottom-of-the-barrel; I’m still watching it even after four seasons.

To play back my old *House of Cards* argument, in my opinion, it’s incomparably better than *Homeland*.

As far as I'm concerned, the quality has dipped—this fifth season is weak; it just doesn't hit the mark anymore.

Even "Love Has No Price" wasn't half bad. ☕

Just the Usurper
If you didn't shed a tear over that, you aren't even human...

Absolutely. I can still see it all perfectly. The harpoon through the heart, the radio in the bathroom... even that whole bit about being trapped in a coffin. 😍

There’s only one version worth listening to:

The first couple of seasons were amazing, but once they started diving into those Russian spy plots, it felt a bit forced. The quality definitely took a dip for me...

Yeah, I agree, Taboo is pretty terrible. They try to act like it's some cult classic, but it's really just a mess...

It really is excellent. I actually went back and rewatched the first two seasons just to make sure I caught everything. With this latest episode, the pace is picking up even more...👍

I can tell everyone's a little too shy to admit they were following Suleiman, even if a few of us ☕

Exactly. Hardy spends the entire time mumbling nonsense, then you have those murky, nauseating visions, and don't even get me started on the sister—pretty sure she's the worst actress in Hollywood. It started off decent enough, but then it devolved into a complete joke.

Man, oh man, Gilda Gomez 🙏

That was probably the first soap opera where you could actually believe the romance was real. Back in the day, nothing ever got missed during those afternoon marathons.

Then you had the major networks blasting shows like Pasion de, Norma, Ximena, and Sara—you know, that whole mess with three sisters getting tangled up with three brothers. After that, nov kreniti hit the airwaves, featuring that powerhouse duo Saul Lisazo and Gabriel, and don't even get me started on the legendary uklet Mariana. Pure gold.

But honestly? čarolija iznad sav still takes the cake. Just that Life clinic vibe and that killer opening theme. 😍

Back when I was at the Life clinic, I used to practice my Italian just to get used to how it sounds...😁
