But that whole last 15 minutes of the finale was so emotional.

I just think they've copied Daenerys Targaryen of Game of Thrones by turning Brida into a psychopathic killer. At least, she had some humanity in her before. I also didn't care for the turn of coldness in Æthelflæd toward Uhtred, after all he'd done for her when she turned his daughter over to the Danes without involving him in that decision. He always gets screwed and yet he always saves them. Plus, King Edward was such a childish, stupid king who constantly makes dumb decisions unlike his father. That includes not using Uhtred's knowledge of the Danes to help hi m win battles. In real like Edward was a more powerful king.

I think this was probably the weakest season. It was still very good. Just not as good as the others. Ruby Hartley was great as Stiorra. I may have had a stroke, though, because I can't remember who the hell her mother is supposed to be. I don't remember Uhtred having a kid with a Dane.

I caught Medici on Netflix.

It was pretty good. I ended up binging it while I was working in the office some.

The production values are really really good. So if you are a fan of the Renaissance period in general you need to watch it. But it is kind of a murder mystery/political thriller, so it's kind of cool. Kind of in the same vein as house of cards.

However, I caught myself thinking to myself "Oh look, someone is trying to wreck Robb Starks life again." LOL

I just finished Season 3 when I saw there was one. Season 2 is much better than Season 1. Season 3 as well, which I just finished. Though it was darker.

You should see all three, especially the second one, which is excellent and follows the history pretty faithfully, unlike Season 1.

It's fairly trod ground in terms of concept, and loosely based on the movie. Basically, an enforcer for a small time mob interest gets ahold of a script that he reads and falls in love with. He takes it to a producer he heard about and tries to get away from mob life and turn his life legit by making a movie.

So you have criminals dealing with corporations dealing with creatives, and nobody knows the whole story that the viewer gets, and they all kind of slide by each other oblivious to different dangers alll around them.

What makes it shine though is the effective employment of deadpan surrealism. Lots of mundane and insane things happening on the same screen at the same time, kind of reminiscent of the dark humor of Pulp Fiction, particularly Jules and Vince's scenes.

I don't want to detail too much, because the best fun of the show is catching it as it happens, but it really does subtle humor well, at least thus far.

I'd heard plenty of good about it, and wanted to put in my voucher. Seems like it didn't get a lot of buzz, since it was an Amazon/Epic production instead of Hulu or Netflix or HBO.

The 'studio head' dealmaker chick is hot, and it took me forever to place her. Because I'd only seen her one other place. She's Megan Stevenson, who played AJ, the sidekick who gave Forrest his tasks and bounced the studio questions off him in Review.

Big fan of "Get Shorty" better late to the show than not showing up at all.


Ray Romano is great in his role.

been watching the GoldBergs lately, that shit is funny. Anyone who grew up in the 80's would get a kick out of it i think. Alot of nostalgia.

You can't really binge it because the mother becomes a bit much [I mean her character is a bit much, but also the episodes get repetitive because it's reliably that she sticks her nose in somewhere, people get mad, and in the end they realize her heart's in the right place and love is what matters, . . . but still, a bit much all in a row].

Otherwise, the structure and characters are great. Lots to bounce bits and lines off of. And if you don't OD on the format storyline, the conclusions can get you a little misty-eyed every once in a while.

And the great thing at the very end is when the creator/writer shows a little clip rom his childhood home movies that inspired the previous episode, or where the characters interview the real life people who inspired him.
