Been watching The Time Travelers Wife. It’s not too bad. Rose Leslie is a smokeshow.

Tried watching Old Man...so many unrealistic scenarios that I barely made through 2 episodes. This felt like a series you would watch on NBC....really poor writing and character development. Needless to say, I'm not investing anymore time into this one...

The Dropout, about Elizabeth Holmes, is pretty good.

BlackOp of all people can't watch a show because of "unrealistic scenarios." "The conspiracy is not deep enough, dammit!" |
I actually don’t know what to watch at this time, anyone have any good recommendations?

If you're looking for weekly stuff, the first episode of the Old Man was really good. |

I will try it again when and if something more interesting is not available. Been watching "Joe Pittman" a great series on Paramount. For some reason episode 9 and 10 are not available yet even though they can be found on line. |

i kind of enjoy The Old Man, but it IS a bit mindless.
Its another "geezer with a particular set of skills" movie, and they can be an passable waste of an afternoon. "Hot chick in black leather or spandex kicking ass" movies are sort of the same. |

Wasn't really in the mood for this, but Dennis Lehane and positive reviews drew me in . . . It's pretty engrossing so far

It's probably already been mentioned but the Bigfoot show on Hulu was excellent.
Keep in mind it's not actually about Bigfoot as much as that's just the name of the show. That's the starting point of a journalist's questioning of what happened to him years ago. The final truth of what happens ends up being much different and about something entirely different... |
I watched Warrior on HBO.
It is about Chinatown in SanFran in the 1800s. I didn't expect much, but found myself caring a lot about the outcome. There is only 2 seasons and seems to end in the middle probably, but it was worth the watch. The fight scenes were way better than I expected. And the bro banter was really good in some places. It was far from perfect, but I found myself caring a lot about the characters. Sidenote: I loved the Hong character. Particularly in the Mexico episode. I laughed every time he was on the screen. |

Ah Sahm is the ****ing shit. The actor also was Storm Shadow in the Snake Eyes movie and was tight AF in that. |

I know the type of show might not be for everyone, but for the type of show it is, it's pretty brilliant in its execution. I'm a sucker for shows about conflict that put the effort in to make sure everyone has a bit of a point and everyone is a bit of an ass, so it's not simply good guys versus bad guys, but explores the little fulcrums in interpersonal interactions that can bend the entire narrative in one direction or another. And Breeders does a great job of showing how bonkers maintaining family can be with modern mores and sensitivities without letting the bonkers slip totally into caricature. You'll find yourself musing long after episodes are over regarding who's right and who's wrong, how right or wrong they are, or what you would or wouldn't put up with in given situations, and often your own perspective will shift over time, . . . all of which seems an important task to occasionally tackle if you expect familial drama to remain compelling. All that to say, if nuanced semi-comedic modern family [non-soapy] drama is a genre you seek out, Breeders does it better than most everything else out there. |

Just watched the first episode of The Bear. I see great potential for this one. A show about a guy who inherits his dead brother's restaurant, both apparently very talented chefs. The kitchen interactions are very raw and intense. Great acting, barely feels like you're watching actors. Has that voyeuristic quality that Succession possesses.

Moving a prior post over to here, because, dummy me, it's a series not a movie. . .

Anyway, saw episode one, and it's every bit of a piece of his prior work. The best way to put it, particularly to avoid spoiling the experience, is that you won't know what you're watching, but you know you can't look away. I'm not entirely sure I can say universally that it's not off-putting, because it meanders into realms that are going to spark response from some. And that's not saying it's like gross or perverted or weird, except in the broadest senses of those concepts. The best word I can conjure is transgressive . . . It takes so many things about social interaction and subjects it to new scrutiny and off-kilter re-examination. You'll wonder what's real and what's not, and you'll wonder how someone comes up with the subtle and small details, let alone the grand plan that goes into an undertaking like this. I highly recommend off what I've seen of the first episode, because if nothing else it won't be quite like anything else you've seen, and it's worth it just for the creativity and nuance. A lot of this probably sounds like talking around the show instead of talking about the show, and that's fair and it's also innate to the show itself. I think the remarks, as well as the circumspection, will make more sense when you've seen it yourself. EDIT - an article/review - https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinio...n-us-rcna38266 |
Finally watched Bosch Legacy, not bad, seemed about the same production level.

Bear.
Crazy unique show. Raw. Gritty. Heartfelt. Amazing acting. As real as a restaurant show will get. Very, very cool. First few episodes and it's easy to see the potential but maybe harder to envision the payoff. But it hits. |

I enjoyed The Bear. Felt they really captured the vibe of Chicago. The grind and the perseverance it can take everyday. I thought the cast was engaging and likeable.
Lot of Chicago Easter eggs throughout. A couple no one cares about that I enjoyed were: Neil Fak wearing a Harms Way shirt in E1 - local legends tough guy band and owners of the classic running man meme/gifs

Saw the recommendation for Rehearsal in this thread, which led me to Nathan For You on HBO, which is the same lead - it's absolutely killing me. Not a new show, but one of the most awkward shows I've seen, and ****ing hilarious.

Andy Daly plays an emcee who takes audience recommendations to Review life experiences. Kind of like an Undercover Boss type show for circumstances in life with a little Larry Sanders Show behind the scenes comedic drama. And the humor comes from his commitment to the task and the effect it has on his real life. <iframe width="820" height="461" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/T2dSE6_utcE" title="Review - Addiction" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> |

two episodes into the new 'Resident Evil' series on Netflix.
Enjoying it. I've played nearly all of the games, so I'm keeping up mostly with characters. Wesker is played by the guy in the Wire.......and he's a great actor |

The first episode of The Rehearsal was incredible. We ended up going back and watching Nathan for You, which might be the funniest show I've seen since Its Always Sunny. Unfortunately, the last two episodes of The Rehearsal haven't been of the caliber I've been accustomed to from Nathan.

Tried giving that new Resident Evil on Netflix a chance.
Holy ***** did they miss the mark on that. Do they know who their targeted audience is? I turned it off after 15 minutes. First 5 minutes is about how the world was destroyed because of climate change, followed by 10 minutes of woke bundle of sticks teen girl drama. ooooout. |
Quote:
They did mention climate change as one of many reasons they ended up where they are.....but it's not even close to being part of the storyline. It's a twist on Wesker, and how he was involved with umbrella, and why his daughters survived, etc. I can see the teen stuff early in, but the show flips between that and present day. Plenty of game easter eggs too. but art is subjective, and different strokes and all that. I'm 5 episodes in now and enjoying it. |

I thought the first season of The Sandman was pretty good. If you're into trippy Neil Gaiman stuff. Gaiman material is so crazy and imaginative that previous efforts haven't turned out as well as I'd hoped. But this one turned out pretty good for the initial season.

One of my buddies was raving about how much he enjoyed Ted Lasso, so I started watching it last night. What a weird show - it's like somebody threw Major League, Ned Flanders from the Simpsons and soccer in a blender. I shouldn't like it, but I do. Somehow they managed to make a show about the most boring sport on earth entertaining.
A couple of things - I wonder how many people who watch this know that Wichita State doesn't have a football team. And damn, is the average Brit as salty as this show portrays? Jesus, pretty much everybody other than Ted and Coach sounds like a limey version of Tommy from Goodfellas. It's funny, but.... wow. Any little kid who watches this by mistake will immediately start calling everybody twats and wankers. :D And the biggest shock - I knew I recognized the female owner, but couldn't place her. Checked her out on IMDb, and she played the septa in Game of Thrones that terrorized Cersei. Who knew that she was actually hot? |
Lasso is good. It’s definitely a show I should hate. But it balances it well enough it keeps me hooked.

Tangential to Lasso, Welcome to Wrexham is FINALLY HERE!!
Part reality show, part mockumentary, but I dont' sense it's scripted for comedy or drama or particularly, so much as edited after the fact. Rob McElhenny and Ryan Reynolds purchase an historic if underachieving [5th tier ENL] soccer franchise and document what they go through as new owners in a new season. <iframe width="820" height="461" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/C9hLsktkGfA" title="Welcome to Wrexham Official Trailer | Rob McElhenney, Ryan Reynolds | FX" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="820" height="461" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/eGNPdFJcrdc" title="The story behind Wrexham's Hollywood takeover | Football Focus" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> |
