On the third episode of the second season of Man in the High Castle and it looks like it'll hold onto the quality of the first instead of dipping off in the second season like so many shows seem to do these days.

Didn't know it was out. Tuning in right now.

I've been watching Silicon Valley. Binged through the first two seasons and starting the third. Nice show.

So awesome that they brought Stephen Root on board. The guy is incapable of anything less than brilliance with any character he takes on.

Trollheart, I'm talking to you.

That 'I hear you're a racist now, Father?'dialogue is just brilliant.
Lol yeah I love Father Ted.

I thought he did great too. His best role is in O Brother, Where Art Thou? imo.

I was into this show until the last episode of season 1. It took more of a sci fi turn rather than just being an alternate reality show, which really threw me off. If you are going to be a sci fi show, you should really establish that early on. I'll still probably watch the second season, though.

Spoiler for Spoils?:
I was kind of thinking that maybe propaganda had won the war as an explanation for the films, thinking that they showed reality as it really happened. I was initially the characters being in the film too, but only because I thought my explanation was so much cooler.

Stephen Root plays one of the main characters in evil, pushy Office Space.
