Just finished binge watching last season and a half of Reign. Whatta' soap opera they turned the last days of Mary Queen of Scots into, when they already had so much to work with on her life as it was, which was tragic, full of intrigue, betrayal, murder and passion already. Her people were a nasty bunch.

I thought a few of the early episodes were going to keep the series going this way, but then it improved. Last portion of Season 3 -Season 4 were like Young and the Restless.

Yeah, I saw that and thought of you. It's a good show and I know you really liked it.

Eh, I'll live. I liked how they had the confidence to make everyone on the look like a little bit of an asshole. That way everyone's POV gets aired without anyone looking like a savior. I have a soft spot for humor that isn't smug or self-satisfied.

I'm sure he'll find his footing elsewhere, and the rest of the cast is talented enough to drop in anywhere and shine.

But what do I know, I'm just some pop culture obsessive who didn't have the wherewithall to parlay a Yale law degree into a ratty bong and an exhausted couch.

I tried to watch the first season and it was pretty bad. It doesn't surprise me it went full soap opera. Sucks.

Yeah, it was in the first season, it looked pretty bad but it was the opening scene where there was an attempted poisoning of her food at the convent where she was raised that was a really good hook into the story. Then it was just girl gossipy. Her life was simply tragic when you look up her real story.

A loved watching Adelaide Kane in that.

I caught Shooter on Netflix.

It was pretty decent. But I haven't read the book.

It had a lot going against it. I'd seen and enjoyed the movie. I'm no Ryan Philleppe fan. All I can think about is that puke role he played in Cruel intentions. Also Cynthia Addai-Robinsons performance in Spartacus was downright unbearable. Both acted their parts well enough to make me look past the priors. And damn. Philippe is yoked the **** out. He isn't a soft bitch anymore.

Moreover the story had trouble grabbing me and making it believable I suppose. That's a pretty subjective gripe as I can't see too much they did wrong necessarily. Maybe I just knew where the story was going so I'm hypercritical. Even with the little girl tie in (I have a daughter not much younger than that). I don't know. Something didn't feel believable about the thing.

All in all though it's worth a watch. The production value is very good for a USA show and the action is pretty damned good. The fight scenes alone are worth watching. It comes back Tuesday. I'll set the DVR.

i need to remember to type show names rather than embed a trailer. my gut says i have posted this before, but not certain.

season 1 has been out a couple years, but this year season 2 will premiere.

it's an aussie drama called 'Glitch'

personally, i love the show. you will have to decide on your own. depending on region it is on netflix.

People of Earth quietly returns to TBS tonight.

If you want a sweet amiable comedy with just a touch of weirdness. Imagine if The Office was about Scully and Mulder instead of Jim and Pam, and you're most of the way there.

People of Earth is great.

I can't watch Shameless. It's good, but I don't like any of the characters and find it hard to root for any of them to succeed. Makes it hard to watch. Same with Always Sunny for me. I get that they're good. They're just not my jam.

Master of None is amazing, especially season 2.

Just finished Last Chance U season 2. Season 1 is probably better, as season 2 is pretty dark.

I tried Shameless too. I just can't. Even though, I'm a pretty big fan of Emmy Rossum's boobs.

if you can't watch the us version of shameless, don't even try the UK version.

always sunny is great film only because i could see myself playing any one of those roles.

last chance U, i binged. the only thing i took away from it was that grown men are babies if they don't get what they want. it featured nothing but whingers, from the coaching staff to the players. hell, even the hottest chick said 'these people are too stoopid even for me'. :D

shameless is an R rated version of married with children :D

Picked up Travelers on Netflix. It is a pretty decent watch. It got kind of convoluted toward the end but it about has to with a time traveler flick. It did a nice job with pacing and developing the story. The acting was really good and seemed believable.


Also caught Ozark. It was decent. The acting and production was pretty damned top notch. Some of the writing was wonky but definitely worth the watch.

so i couldn't binge it, but am ch131'ing it. they don't have all the streams, but season 2 episode 9 is so CP ROFL

if you have watched what if chat rooms are real (the parlor), this is a thousand times better (the episode)

click at your own risk if you aren't used to streaming, unless you are used to chan131 streaming format.



i won't lie, he is me.
