I always like Pushing Daiseys and yeah - very similar feel. I also thought the movie took a little more crap than it deserved.

Man, Ted Lasso has no business being as good as it is. I'm glad Dane mentioned it in another thread because it reminded me to watch the last episode. Sudeikis is absolutely killing it. The only downside is the release schedule (next one is 8/21).

My wife loves Sudeikis and convinced me to watch it with her. We watched the first 4 episodes and I actually thought it was...great. In any other setting, his performance might have been too over-the-top to be watchable but his midwestern bumpkin schtick ended up being a perfect counterbalance the the surly seriousness and sneering selfishness of the other main characters. You got the feeling from the very beginning that he could be a heart amongst the heartless and it wasn't long at all before you started to see the path on which he could turn the team around. Sure, the locker room dynamics are a bit cliched but I'm sure I'm not the only one that could actually see that being a real life struggle of any professional locker room, not just an English football club. By the end of episode 4, I wasn't just invested in the main characters, I was rooting for them. And rooting for AFC Richmond. I'm not ashamed to say it I guess. I love this show and can't wait for more. |

In the mood for some more serious binging, so I watched the first season of Perry Mason. Grew up watching reruns of the original series with Raymond Burr in the titular role, so I was already familiar with the characters, but the names were about the only recognizable connection between the old and the new. The HBO series reminded me of Deadwood in the way that it removed the puritanical blinders and showed us an unfiltered 1930's LA. I loved it. Another great series from HBO and I can't wait to see season 2.
Also caught the pilot for Lovecraft Country, which is available on YouTube for free, and while I thought some of it was over the top, I liked it enough to watch next week. |

I haven't had a chance to start it yet but it's next on my list and I'm really looking forward to some humor after watching Ozark. |

Now that I've seen Parks & Rec, it's a virtual tie because his performances in both series are just phenomenal. Rob Lowe's acting has grown so much since the 80's and I'd really like to see him another comedic series. |

I still can't believe it was cancelled after one season. |

I finally got around to the Sopranos. It was good. Definitely worth the time if you haven’t seen it.
The show definitely changed the game. Think Model T changed the game. But like the T it eventually got outrun. The newer great shows that get after it are a lot tighter. There were a lot of hours of film that really didn’t mean anything other than a look into the life of a gangster. Compare that with Perry Mason for instance where every detail in ever scene means something. Gandolfini of course killed. Virtually everyone they got to be italian really did a great job of not making it hokey. Because there is a lot of hokey shit they do but pull it off because Italy. They do a real nice job showing the Contrast between the life Carmella lives and how that life is financed. Of course some of the technology didn’t age well but whatever. Last they did a great job with the food. There wasn’t a dish on there that I wouldn’t have loved to have. |

Love , Death & Robots is a trippy awesome show on Netflix. Would highly recommend it to stoners everywhere. The episodes are like just 10 to 15 minutes long and the animation is sick. So well done imo.
