The movie was good, a bit slow and dark. But it did tie up lose ends and gave the back story of how the series got started. Finish Breaking Bad, Ray Donovan isn't going any where. Have you watched Bosch? Luther, Ozark, Peaky Blinders? Just in case you need a few more ideas.

I don’t need any more ideas, thank you.

I went from not really watching TV to binge watching. I’m up to date on Ozark and can’t wait for the new season. I have Bosch in my radar having read a lot of the books. I’m looking forward to Reacher. I guess I’ll stick with Breaking Bad. Some sick shit going on there.

It’s 9 F with a -2 windchill. Good day to do laundry and binge more.

Bosch is excellent. About the same here, supposed to warm up this afternoon so the dog will get a walk in. 8-12" of snow forecast for tomorrow.

The forecast here changed. Temps going up all day. We will get just rain and gale force winds tonight and tomorrow.

Hitting the way back button: Replaying season 2 of 24. I remember this being the greatest season of action in TV history. We'll see if it holds up.

evil-G-nius · 01-16-2022, 11:55 PM

Finally watched the Ray Donovan movie and I am actually disappointed with how they ended it. Dexter's ending was better and left fewer questions.

timnkoo · 01-17-2022, 12:05 AM

Not a traditional TV Series but just started watching CarTrek on you Youtube. Fairly low rent and put together by some established Youtubers. Some bits are cringy but it's good for a laugh and light entertainment. Found on Tavarish's Channel.

Alfisti · 01-17-2022, 09:31 AM

Watching House of Cars, never seen it before. It's OK, I can tolerate it, already a bit far fetched and I always struggle with Robin Wright, seems the type who'd stab you slowly with a large knife instead of cutting your throat, just to enjoy it.

House of Cards is good - so long as you suspend your disbelief, and hip just watch for its entertainment value. And, if you forgo the last Season. It lacks Kevin Spacey, and is pure garbage.

Not really TV anymore, but I started Penny Dreadful not long ago. Final season left.

I loved House of Cards, Frank is/was easy to hate but you've got to admit that the finale was rather satisfying...not the final season but the series finale.

I don't think I watched the last season, maybe the last two. It just became so over the top ridiculous it wasn't enjoyable anymore, for me at least.

Kind of like The Walking Dead, after smashing in Glen's head, it was obvious it jumped the shark.

Alfisti · 01-18-2022, 04:15 PM

It's already ridiculous in season 1, it gets worse?

House of Cards? I think we got a few episodes into season 2 before calling it quits.

cmyx6go · 01-19-2022, 07:49 AM

Thank you, Breaking Bad. I'm scarred for life. You know how a song can take you back to a specific moment in time? Well, it used to be when I heard "Who's tripping down the streets of the city, smiling at everybody she sees" I would flash back to being in the back of my dad's old station wagon with the wood panels on the side on a summer day heading to the beach. No mas. From now on, I will only see beat up cheap white pleather boots and BJs.

Carry on.

Right! It's the season 3 finale. I remember now.

So, what do you think about the show 3 seasons in?

Alfisti · 01-19-2022, 09:47 AM

As a guy who works in operations, the thing I appreciate about Breaking Bad is it never, ever shies away from the logistical difficulties. It rarely makes the difficult seem easy. You can see by now that distribution is becoming an issue, waly t is like WTF JUST GET IT DONE and it's not that easy.

Even stupid shit like getting your staff to buy the right shit from a hardware store, they will fuck it up.

It doesn't shy away from the nittty gritty in the mess complications and that is what drives the story because if it was easy, there wouldn't be a story.
