My favorite character is Ed Harris'.

They dropped a huge bomb on us last night. Awesome episode for the most part.

Black Mirror on Netflix is great. It's a modernized Twilight Zone, though much darker.

And Pants, I think you would like Mr. Robot, which is also very dark.

Season 2 was darker than the first season IMO it is a quality show though. Great performances. Have heard other people praise Black Mirror, will have to check it out.

The only reason season one seemed less dark was because it took a long time to develop the two lead characters into the crazy mofos they were eventually revealed to be.

Nothing wrong with a slow burn in my opinion

Just binged on Horace and Petes. Very dark not what you expect from Louie CK. Some fantastic actors and acting. Alan Alda is phenomenal. I highly recommend it. Touches on a lot of social issues that get you thinking.

I've watched the first season. Have the 2nd on DVR for the winter.

I like it but it's a little too junior college artsy at times.

Both solid.
A good movie I watched again recently is Take Shelter. Strong ending.
Great movie actually.
