This show started off cool but now its boring to me because its exactly the same every episode. Episode opens up and someone dies, you know charlie is around somewhere and is somehow close to the victim or killer in some way, then charlie (the greatest detective known to man even better than batman) figures out the murder down to the smallest detail in a day or 2, then she leaves town.

Literally the same formula each abd every episode with maybe 1 thing changed

The formula is the same, but I think the season is getting better and better cuz it’s becoming less and less obvious how they’ll get caught. The Lil Rel episode was the first where it wasn’t immediately clear how she’d prove they did it or even find out they did it. The last one was a bit over the top on the believability tip, tho.

The long story of the Frost casino revenge is catching up to her is also warming up.

Ya know, psych is probably my fav show of all time, and I have never seen monk :snoop: That show worth watching for a psych fan?
I'm biased cause I liked both...but Monk isn't nearly as funny as psych....for the most part they play it straight, and the humor come from monk being so ocd and a germaphobe, The mysteries are cool though, and for the most part are plausible enough and not too crazy

Caught up with the show now, ep 5 was hilarious :mjlol:. My favorite one of the season so far. Monkey precog :skip:

I do like seeing how exactly the murder will be committed, then having Charlie put the puzzle pieces together in her brain. Also like how she was always in the story, just off to the side until they are ready to reveal her role.

This is easily the most I’ve enjoyed something from Rian Johnson in quite sometime. Episode 5 was by far my favorite so far.

I really enjoyed the second episode. I like movies and TV shows that take place in BFE America. The episode also had a babyface and chicken shyt heel if your familiar with wrestling terms. Ngl for the first time in 5+ years I crave a Subway sandwich :mjcry:

I think its bs how there's ads during the show, Peacock is annoying.
We see the cops coming at the end. Was there something that was going to make it stick after she left that I missed?

They found a truck driver that has dash cam footage of the kid dragging the body across the street and into Large Marge's truck.
Ok. I remember her figuring out it was a guy with a fox on his truck. Didn't remember them making contact with him.

she had to leave town because Benjamin Bratt was on her trail, so the other truckers got in contact with him. We see a trucker coming back to the town as she's driving away.
