I also turned off the voice-overs and went with Italian in Gomorrah...I watch a lot of vintage foreign stuff so reading the subtitles wasn't a chore. Improved the quality five fold... only a few episodes in. |

Season premier of Snowfall coming up in February. The final episode last season was a bit trope but it's an excellent show.

I want to find a good series - i just finished New Blood and am in the middle of Book of Boba. I just couldn't finish Yellowjackets. Let's face it - it's a weak series when it all boils down to it.

I watched The Undoing on HBO the past couple days. It's got Nicole Kidman, and Hugh Grant as a married couple that get tangled up in a murder. It's pretty good, up until the last episode. Then it's just ridiculous and stupid.
Bonus, the murdered gal has a rocking body and she shows it all off multiple times. |

The Giallo vibe of ZeroZeroZero is superb. It’s wild yet stylish and the synth throughout is perfection. Despite not loving a couple main characters, I’m thoroughly enjoying this.

We’re 3 episodes in, and really like it! Thanks to BlackOps for suggesting it. Been on my watchlist for a bit. It’s good, not quite Gomorra good (at least to me), but still really good.

I watched season one and the first episode of S.2 of Gomorrah...it was good up until like episode 8 and then the writing fell off a cliff....I know it's 8 years old but will list my grievances in a spoiler. I think I'm on to something else...
Spoiler!

I did Station Eleven. I'll be goddamned if it isn't straight up compelling. It's pretty high brow. Normally high brow shit doesn't work for me, but this one did. It got it's hooks in me pretty good.
I do have to say you have to suspend your "cut the shit" reactions, because like most dystopians, there is a lot of shit that just won't work in real life, but whatever, it's a well told well acted compelling story. I don't know what you all think of Mackenzie Davis, but I'm a fan. Other than the Martian, the only thing I've seen her in is Halt and Catch Fire. She isn't particularly pretty, but she does it for me. She can be very pretty when she tries to be, and seemingly never wears a bra. But she carries a heavy load in this one and really knocks it out of the park. What she portrays is a very very complicated situation, and it's never not believable. They even ask her to do some physical stuff, which is a big ask as rail thin as she is and it was better than I expected. This one really asks a lot of the viewers. Accordingly I should re-watch it because it's a big watch. But it does a good job of swinging for the fences without getting overly preachy. I think there is a book? I haven't read it, but would be interested to hear from any that have. |
