I watched the first few minutes and got bored. Looked like it was trying too hard.

Maybe I didn't give it enough time.

Will try again another day.

My wife and i watched the first two episodes of Dead Ringers last night. Very interesting and a bit confusing but entertaining.

I'm watching, again, Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber, since my son was one of the characters in the series...Ep1, Joseph Gorden Leavitt asks "Are you an azzhole?"

T0RM3NT · 05-04-2023, 09:11 PM

Thinking of starting this series on Prime. Has anybody else watched it? Thoughts? The trailers looks interesting to me.

Murf the Surf · 05-04-2023, 09:19 PM

Finished up Dead Ringers tonight. It's different, a bit disturbing/bizarre but some might love it.

UncleWede · 05-05-2023, 12:39 PM

I watched one, just to see: an Indian spy/romance show. Now they just keep popping up all these Indian shows on my recommended list on Netflix. Make it stop!!!

Finished Dark last night. The title really did match the mood of this show. The final was a bit of a cop-out in that they went back in time and killed themselves. Not directly, but figuratively. From the standpoint of unrequited love, it had more than its fair share!

This one’s on my list, I love Rachel Weisz in anything and having her be two leads is even better.

tranquility · 05-06-2023, 01:26 PM

I tried to watch Silo, but couldn't even make it through the first episode.

I really like her too. I started this but stopped it after just a little bit. Found the hospital scenes a little creepy. Will have to suck it up and try again some time.

Murf the Surf · 05-07-2023, 04:42 PM

Watched the first episode of The White House Plumbers last night. Funny as fuck. I gather they took artistic license but we laughed out loud a few times. G. Gordon Liddy playing Hitler speeches for Hunt and his wife. WTF.

Looks a bit similar to last year's Gaslit with Julia Roberts playing Martha Mitchell. That being said, I see Lena Headey (Cersei) is in this, and for that reason alone I'll definitely have to watch, I want to see her in more TV shows and movies, she is just excellent.

T0RM3NT · 05-08-2023, 12:42 PM

I was slow to watch The Terminal List. Binged a little bit over the weekend and just finished up episode 5 last night. Pretty entertaining to me.

tranquility · 05-09-2023, 05:26 PM

Rabbit Hole is pretty good 2 episodes in.

evil-G-nius · 05-10-2023, 12:06 AM

Just finished up Bel-Air season 2...such a good reiteration of the original Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

Alfisti · 05-14-2023, 09:36 PM

Finished Better Call Saul. Very good show, final season continued to suffer from slow pacing and way, way too many loooooooooooooooooooooooong shots of some random artistic item they decide to focus on for 6 minutes. But great story, very good show, best one of the past few years i'd say.

Onto something new, wife flipped on MAID, it's really not bad, the casting is superb which is half the battle as many new shows suffer from terrible acting. The lead female is excellent (Andy McDowell's daughter), as is mcdowell herself and her fake aussie husband. Only issue i have is we are on episode 4 and be damnded how they squeeze another 6 out of it.

Alfisti · 05-15-2023, 08:34 AM

So I was right, 5th episode and MAID went to shit. Essentially rebooting the story and adding constant flashbacks so you don't know if something is really happening or not.

I just finished it too. I wanted more Breaking Bad (the stuff that was in color) and less Smalltown Grifter (the stuff that was in black & white). They even managed to ruin the love story. Not impressed.

Final seasons seem to bring out the worst in writers/producers/directors more often than not.

diirk · 05-15-2023, 10:15 AM

Watched the first 4 episodes of Citadel. Not too bad. Far from great but it works as something a little different because of some of the shows details. There's also been a few unexpected twists which was a surprise as I was expecting it to be very predictable.

Clark_Kent · 05-15-2023, 10:40 AM

I may have missed this but is anyone watching Yellowjackets? I'm now on Episode 3. It's somewhat interesting but not sure what to make of it just yet. Also not sure if I will continue with it. Without spoilers, thoughts on the show?

I tried to watch s2e1 but abandoned yet another series. I dunno, lost interest as it seems to drag and I don't really care for any of the characters.
