Seinfeld: Season 3

Man, a great season.  Phenomenal.  I shouldn't even need to review this show.  Some highlight episodes in this season were "The Note" where George questions his sexuality after getting a massage from a male masseuse. "The Pen" where Jerry is given a pen from Uncle Leo and it sparks a huge family debate.  "The Parking Garage" is a classic, "The Cafe" where Jerry convinces Babu to change the theme of his restaurant and it ultimately fails. "The boyfriend" with baseball star Keith Hernandez, and of course "The Keys" where the main cast members swap keys to their apartments. Highest recommendation.


Guardians of the Galaxy

Man, I waited so long to see this and ... yeah ...  it was okay.  A little too "space opera" for me, and I'm sorry, I like fat Chris Pratt better.  I get why people like this, it's just not for me.  Pass.

Derek: Season 2 + Special

With only 6 episodes at 23 minutes each and an hour long special, I blew through this in under a week.  It seems raunchier than the first season, and less "sweet" but it did keep me thoroughly entertained.  Plenty of cringe-worthy moments and an awkwardness I haven't felt since the early days of "The Office". The "special" was quite disappointing though.   Recommend if you liked the first season.

Derek: Season 1

I watched the pilot for this show months ago, and recently decided to pick it up again.  I remember why I stopped the first time, it's because my wife and I were looking for a show to watch together and I thought this might fit the bill.  It did not.  I like it however, quite a bit.  I described it to my nephew as "sweet and raunchy" at the same time.  The final episode of this season may have originally been intended as a wrap to the series, but it was especially touching.  I loved it.  Recommend.

Episodes: Season 4

This is one of those shows that I only watch when I can't find anything else.  Strangely I found this season more enjoyable than the previous one.  Half hour shows on Netflix are hard to come by.  This isn't great, it's not horrible either.  I'd still say you're better off skipping this one though.  Pass.
