Unfun fact: Mr Beef co-founder, Joseph Zucchero, died earlier this month.

The chef character in The Bear took direct inspiration from Mr Beef and the show modeled their set after, and sometimes filmed at the actual Mr Beef on Orleans

Beef, dipped, hot, mozz if yous a real one

Got another one we have been watching... "YOU" on Netflix. First season was pretty good and the ending has us definitely going to watch season 2.

I have watched a few episodes of You and will get back to it after taking a break for a Succession refresher. :D

Did anyone watch one of 2022's best new shows?


Maybe.

Love this show too.

We burned through it pretty fast when it came out and then waited forever for the latest season. And of course, we haven't watched it yet even though it's finally out. :D

Ted Lasso is back on; my wife is into it, but I'm barely paying attention to it anymore. 1st season was pure magic, these last 2 seasons are something else.

Yet another show that we waited forever for the new season and since it's been out, we haven't touched it.

I found the first episode cringey. It felt like some of the dialogue had truly jumped the shark and I was genuinely reluctant to move forward (though my wife hasn't given me much of a choice).

But the second episode was stronger and back on track.

Is it all out? This time of year, if I start it, I may not have time to finish, but if the whole season is there, I can throw it on while I'm in the office.

No, it's 1 episode per week.

Gotcha. Thanks. I’ll probably wait until it’s all up before I get into it.

I have nothing to base it on but in my mind this is a nod towards Raymond Burr

Which is beyond the suspension of belief back in the depression era for that relationship to occur because they would've been killed.

You haven’t even watched the show, have you? So you have absolutely no idea in terms of the context of said relationship.

Suspending belief to imagine two females have a clandestine relationship in that era? It must be hard to do for someone like you who thinks it must’ve been like living under the Third Reich for lesbians in the 1930s in LA. Shot on site, according to you.

Please return to the land Far Beyond Comprehension.

LOL, Like Perry riding the race horse, banging his sons Teacher, the Hispanic storyline.

Yeah I haven't seen it.

evidently, you never had in depth conversation with an elder about such things

Once again, the entire point goes right over your head. The fact that this along with race has to be included in current productions is the issue

Okay, I respectfully take that back.

But evidently, you feel whatever conversation you had with your grandfather - likely of midwestern descent - is indicative of broad history. Any individual situation represents all situations. Got it.

The fact that it seems to trigger someone like you enough to complain about it on a message board with your online friends is perhaps more of the "issue."

Most people watching the show don't remotely care about or even think about that. You view it as some affront and TribalElder thinks one must "suspend belief" to believe it could occur at that time. Otherwise, death and murder!

You're right - clips of the old Perry Mason must be more indicative of how things actually were at that time. I'm sure TV in the 50s and 60s was pretty much representative of a broad swath of society. I feel bad for your wife that she probably couldn't nod her head like Barbara Eden and make all of your wishes come true.

ROFL You are so full of yourself it is hilarious.

Welp, after years of procrastinating and not getting past season 1 of Yellowstone, I'm diving into the rabbit hole of season 2. I may end up moving to LoLo MT before the end of the week.

https://time.com/5600232/lgbt-crime-history/

If you didn't have a chance to talk to someone who lived during such a period

Lolo Montana steakhouse is fabulous. Not much else about Lolo though. lol.

Yellowstone is pretty worthless. It was a decent concept to start but got so far off track it's not even watchable.

You're a complete and total moron. Let's find one story about a homosexual who was murdered in the 1950s and pretend like you've proven a point. Are you even trying, bro?

First, he's male.

Second, it's the suburbs.

Third, of 10000x more importance, it's one instance.

https://xtramagazine.com/power/lesbi...he-1930s-70201

Believe it or not - the vast majority of lesbians in this country weren't rounded up and murdered in the 1930s. I'm sorry if that disappoints your sensibilities. Nor were homosexual males in the 1950s and 1960s regularly murdered before the Stonewall Riots.

I did spend a decade of my life living two blocks from the Stonewall Inn, but putting that to the side, is there anything else you can provide a single example of 20 years later that you think should represent a true reality on a television show you're watching?

For the record, History is not being rewritten. Fiction is being rewritten.

Snowfall on the other hand is killing its final season.

Shout out to you and eDave for that rec.

Man that show just never dropped off.

I was worried in the final season they would try to get too cute, but it feels very honest and very real with how it's ending for some of the characters.

When I saw Franklin flying a plane I was 100% out on Snowfall

There was a bunch of other things that contributed but I couldn't continue after that

Was the shark jump moment for me

I think it was to more signify that he made it. He had tons of money to do whatever he wanted including buying a plane and learning how to fly it. He wasn't going to be stuck in the shitty projects like the rest still were, he was "above" them all.

Maybe it was the way they filmed it but it looked flimsy AF

I feel the good ones know when to end it properly and this one has a diminishing value feel to it

Meet me at the statue!

You felt wrong, bitch.

Gave you an example, not mentioning the discrimination that's emboldened on the show. Knowing what I heard from others who lived in the generation.

Keep on name calling, because you apparently you believe that it was a Utopia of equal rights, and such hate crimes never occurred consistently like African American hate crimes during this time

Just a reminder that you literally said that the premise of the show was so ridiculous that one had to "suspend belief" to appreciate it because people who engaged in that behavior would've been murdered during that period.

Not that there was simply discrimination....but rather, some form of genocide.

I hope you see the difference.

Never said genocide, you're putting words in my mouth but they were seen less than human hence many using the word queer as a slur. Gay people hid their preference in lovers because of it. The Great Depression spiked such hate crimes enabling white supremacists raiding homosexual centric nightclubs killing anyone in sight.

Binge watched the first 4 episodes of Perry Mason, season 2. I'm really liking this second season, like the fist season it's a good slow-burn series.

Also watched Black Bird on apple TV. That show had me hooked from the start. It's based on the memoir of a former fbi informant in prison at the fed med in Springfield. Although they did try to make the fed med out to be one of the worst maximum security prisons in America, I suspect it was just to heighten the tension for the show. I don't recall ever hearing about how terrible the fed med was when I worked for Greene County 20 years ago, but whatever.

Anyways, the guy that played the serial killer Larry Hall was totally believable as a creepy, sadistic, child-killing ****. They never found all the bodies of his victims unfortunately, but they were able to get him for a few and keep his crazy ass locked up.

On episode 2 into The Night Agent, pretty good so far.

Watched 2 more episodes tonight, very good. Sucked in.

yup. I binged the whole damn thing.

Yeah, I watched it a week or so ago.

I was surprised by the performances. They were pretty good. So was the action for a Netflix flick.

It ended up too big for it's britches though. No way it could encompass that kind of scope. That took me out of it a bit, but I enjoyed it.

I just finished the first season of The Capture on Peacock and have to say it's a solid 9/10.

Exciting and disturbing.

I was surprised it was a good show. Worth the time to see.

Thanks for the recommendation, I never would have found this.

Halfway through Beef on Netflix.

It's excellent. Best thing Netflix has put out there in a long time.

Interesting. I thought it looked dumb. Is it deeper than a comedy about road rage?

It’s a really good comedy about road rage.

The reviews are excellent too so I’d kinda be surprised if you didn’t enjoy it as we seem to have similar tastes.

We are digging it too! Got some strong White Lotus vibes.

Right on. Thanks.

Probably been mentioned but I just started watching a show called "Night Agent." Good show through 5 episodes. Dramatic show about a FBI agent that gets pulled into the world of espionage. Interesting, good plot, writing, decent acting. Good watch.

Season two is already in the works.

i watched it, wasn't the greatest but i was entertained.

I have been watching The Leftovers on HBO its only 3 seasons and im almost finished. Really liking it, its an older show though I think finished in 2017.

Such a good show. Definitely in my top 5 but it was the hardest for me to “get hooked” on and keep watching. I really struggled the first time I watched it until about halfway through season 1.

Interested to hear your thoughts after you finish. I loved the finale and thought it wrapped up the story perfectly.

Not sure if anybody seen this but good show.

White Lotus, Ted Lasso and so many others I have never seen and not sure I even have the time.

The amount of highly rated series being produced across all these sites from Netflix to Amazon to Hulu to HBO to Showtime is just an overload of the senses.

I don't even know which should be watched first..........

Ted Lasso Season 1 was terrific, I've hated every season since.

Final Season of Barry starts on Sunday. Sad to see it end.

I enjoyed After Life, and the outtakes are ****ing hilarious.

Finished The Leftovers was happy, definitely a really good show.

Succession and TWO episodes of Barry tonight yall.

Make it stop. There was like a brief interlude where there were only 2 weekly shows I was watching, but now it's Succession, Barry, Perry Mason, Yellowjackets, Maisel, Lasso, and Snowfall.

It's the last season for at least 5 of these though interestingly enough.

It reallly sucks that Barry is going to be over but after the way season 3 ended it really couldn’t last much longer. :(

I'm not gonna lie....wat?!?

It's very possibly the worst acted show I've seen this side of a univision telenovela. It's sooooooo baaaaaad.

And the writing really falls apart about halfway through as well.

But...I watched it. It had a great hook and a fun premise. It was worth the time. But I'm pretty positive Netflix never expected it to take off like it did because if they had there's just no way they put the hacks in major roles they did.

Oh...and is Rose Larkin hot? I can't quite figure it out but I think she might be.

Just watched the first episode of Florida Man - it's actually pretty funny. Dark comedy with a little gratuitous nudity. And it's not trying to punch above its weight - it's happy being a kinda gory cut-rate HBO comedy.

Yeah I was out halfway through the first episode of Night Agent

It was described to me as a cross between 24 and Homeland.

Those are two of my favorite shows ever.

I made it 1.5 episodes and broke up with my friend who recommended it.

You see the ads for The Citadel?

Because I'm actually pretty excited about that one; looks like if The Bourne Identity and Mr. and Mrs. Smith had a baby.

Thanks for the heads up; didn't realize it was starting back up again.

And since Bill Hader appears to hate his character, I'm thinking the ending is gonna be pretty bleak.

Hader does a fair number of interviews about the show and every time he makes it clear that he's not terribly interested in a tidy ending for Barry. He thinks the PTSD thing is mostly an excuse to be a shithead.

Barry's gonna end up in a cage or a box when all is said and done, IMO.

I was in as soon as I saw the Russo Bros were involved.

Hader said that this season will be even darker than last and he’s directing every single episode.

And I'd be willing to give that the benefit of the doubt much more than The Night Agent entirely because I think Prime has the ability to put out better overall content than Netflix. Of course, that doesn't imply that everything will be better.

But yeah, it looks intense in that same genre.

Oh man, ouch.

If we're parsing out seasons, then season 1 of Homeland is elite in my book where as the first 30 minutes of Night Agent was reminiscent to the start of the '11 Chiefs season when Eric Berry shredded his knee in week 1 by comparison.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one. I saw Night Agent getting some praise here, but I couldn't get past the second episode. Thought I was watching a different series after hearing some reviews.

I'm excited about that one. We'll see.

LOL

Yeah, you went in with WAAAY too high of expectations. No way that show is either one of those things.

I was surprised by a couple of the performances and the action was better than the low budget schlock I was expecting, but my comment was it was way too big for it's britches.

I'll give that a look. Thanks.
I thought there were a couple moments that worked and I was surprised by, but they were early. As the story got big and dumb, those went away. But again, I was expecting pure schlock.

And I wanted to see Rose naked, so there's my vote.

Suddenly in like episode 6 she had a great rack.

I have no idea where that came from. She goes from essentially being your little sister to making some movement in a grey t-shirt and packing serious heat in the process...

Was that on the boat? Somewhere around there, I was like, yeah, I want to see her naked.

Yeup.

That was the moment.

This makes sense. I think he must have realized this in season 3, because not only is it clear he hates the character, but that you the audience should feel bad rooting for him. I'm excited for season 4 in hopes it's closer tonally to Seasons 1 and 2.

Just finished watching "Beef". Not my style. I would give it a 6-7 on the Hoot Factor. I am glad that Netflix allows for a 1.5X watch speed.

Fruit Loop is not quite the word I am looking for...Melodramatic, contrived...dunno.

If the whole premise is based upon a road rage incident, color me jaundiced.

He cites the Moss incident as Barry's chance to make amends but ultimately notes that his treatment of Chris shows who he truly is.

I think he's gotten darker in the show because he tried to be subtle in season 1 and people kept thinking Barry was a likeable and redeemable character.

I think he's always felt this way about Barry but has gotten more heavy handed due to the audience response.
