The Arya/Frey stuff was fantastic. But everything else is just buildup, which the first shown tends to be for everything. I was curious how they would eventually bring Jon and Dany together, and now they have a common destination so in looking forward to that.

Yep.
I also liked the back and forth with Jamie and Euron, and seeing Jon and Sansa together. Not a lot of action, but good plot advancement.

I didn't have a real issue, just thought it would be epic. Just a case of expecting too much. This week though...better be epic if they stay with what they have done in past seasons

Yeah, that's kinda the expectations that I had going into the first one was that they would probably take one slower show to open and then the holy shit show second.

I think they tried but they packed it all into li or the last 10 minutes. It went from like slow plot stuff to 100 mph instantly.

Finally, a 'True Detective' Season 3 update

(CNN) — "True Detective" Season 3 is getting closer to becoming a reality.
On Wednesday, HBO programming president Casey Bloys confirmed earlier reports that "Moonlight" star Mahershala Ali has been signed to star in the third installment, and the network is currently searching for a director to oversee the season.
"When we find a director we want to hire, we'll be a go with that," he said.
The first season of "True Detective" aired in 2014 and quickly became a breakout hit, with Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey earning accolades and awards attention.
The second season, however, failed to hold momentum and was widely panned for its writing and pacing.
It starred Colin Farrell, Vince Vaughn, Rachel McAdams and Taylor Kitsch.
Bloys, who did not oversee the second season as he only took over as the network's programming head in May 2016, said he thinks the extra time they've taken to craft Season 3 will ultimately benefit the series.
Bloys said he's read five "great" scripts from "True Detective" creator Nic Pizzolatto so far.
"I know they've talked about perhaps [Season 2] was rushed into production, but I can tell you we're taking our time with the scripts," Bloys said. "We're taking our time and I think it's paid off."
No further casting announcements have been made.
Ali is best known for his work in best picture Oscar winner "Moonlight," a role for which he won the best supporting actor award.

Binged "Ozark" on Netflix.
Stars Jason Bateman and a bunch of "hey, I have seen that guy in something" actors.
Isn't getting a ton of buzz, but it is pretty damn good IMO.
I know some will say it is a bit of a Breaking Bad rip off, and I get that.
It was still entertaining and I hope it gets renewed.

First I've heard of this one but if it has a Breaking Bad vibe I'll def check it out.

Don't take too much out of that...it has some common themes, family guy, drug lords, etc.
It is kind of like Breaking Sideways. Bateman's character is putting his family first, but he is not cold blooded. Yet.
