I was skeptical of the format, at first, as well. However, it is masterfully executed here.
edit:
Still gotta watch Deadwood, too.

I couldn't stand it. Watched the first season. Maybe I'll give it another go.

We're used to shows going on and on - GOT and such - but the show ended at season three because they finished telling the story. I don't want to give anything away. I think they did the right thing ending it that way. If they kept going they would have started down the path of trying to keep it interesting and possibly/likely comprising the quality of the story to do so.
Part of the reason I love Deadwood so much (and the ending is perfuckingfect)
Word. Deadwood is a great fucking show.

Glad this is on Netflix. Guess I'll jump on and finish it out soon.

She did say it got better as it went on, and that it ended well. So, there's that.
For those o fyou who like this sort of stuff, if you haven't watched I Zombie on Netflix (or whatever channel it actually airs on), you should. It's a "fun" take on zombies. I know that's next on our list after we finish the American Horror Story Hotel thing (which is bad).

Ah man that show started really well and got really not good after like 3 episodes.
