    Big fan of author Michael Connelly who wrote the Bosch books. The pilot was pretty good, pretty highly rated so far.

    I watched "The Rebels" since it was football based.

    I enjoyed it. It's not groundbreaking comedy or anything, but if it gets picked up - I'll keep watching it.

    I watched betas, thought it was well done but you need to be an IT geek to get a lot of it.

    The one about the kid in the 80's working at a golf course was good.

    I think I've only watched the one with legislators regularly (Alpha House?), but separately you always have to knock off two stars from any online review due to viewers pre-selecting based on mood and genre, and forgiving objective quality.

    I am not so sure. After watching it, I am not sure what the premise of the show is about. It seems there is a hint of time travel/alternate universe theme. I feel like there are going to be some messy plot points. And the thought of Nazis and Japanese invading and gaining full control of the US seems ludicrous. I would buy more into it if the US imploded economically and adopted facism over a full invasion.

    well it's based on a book (haven't read it), so they have an endgame and basic structure they can follow

    I wonder as well if there is a supernatural aspect or if it's simply alternate history.

    My wife has watched a few of them. The only one she kinda liked was the one with Billy Zane, Mad Dog or something.

    If you're talking about pilot season, Transparent is not one, it's a full season.

    Transparent is a full season, not just a pilot.

    It's excellent though.

    When this thread was started it was just a pilot. I've only seen the first 2 episodes and it's been very good so far.

    I enjoyed the Bosch pilot, and I think the full season is going up on Amazon pretty soon.
