I agree that we were like one week of no TP from someone trying this shit.

I get pissed at the show because like 75% of the show is Elizabeth Moss's face and expressions.

It's funny because someone else mentioned all of the close-ups and panned shots of her face......and in fact, it might've been you......but I didn't pay much attention to it until I read that in this thread. Now, every time I see her face I think of comments like yours.

It annoys me now because I can't un-see it. At this point I'm already into the third season so I have to see it through to the conclusion.

Something happens, Junes face up close for 2 minutes, June does something crazy, Junes face, characters in Canada doing things, Junes face.....

I'm convinced somebody producing/directing the show's episodes thought June's grimaces and unusual countenance(s) were somehow germane to the show's success. They could cut out all of the face shots and the episodes would be shortened by 15-20 minutes easy.

I dunno guys, I just can.not. get into Handmaid's Tale.

Btw, Sedan, don't you know there are free ways to watch whatever you what online?

Yes, but when I'm parked in the patrol car and I don't have a PC [that I can use for that], my only option is my smart phone. I can't even access YouTube on this mobile PC.

At home I employ allllll of the free methods. LOL!

Be careful out there, don't want you getting distracted by closeups of Liz Moss while danger lurks haha.

I stay hidden, ensconced so effectively in a sea of foliage and terrain that it would make a ninja shed a tear of joy.

Hiding is a critical part of the job as I recall.

Going through Better Call Saul for a second time. As great as Breaking Bad was I haven't really felt the need to go through it a second time, at least not yet. Super intriguing to go through, even if I do know how it all ends.

Alfisti · 06-02-2023, 12:17 PM

Really? It's good but achingly slow and so many long, slow still shots of random shit that's totally irrelevant. I always feel like a 45 min episode could have been 20 minutes.

dreamingat30fps · 06-02-2023, 09:18 PM

Haven't read through all the previous posts so might have been mentioned already.

Better Call Saul last season, really enjoyed it.

Tulsa King... not sure how I ended up watching this, but I actually liked it

Just finished Invasion. First few episodes almost made me quit, but the second half was much better. I think if they make a season 2 that story line should be even better.

Yes, she’s beautiful but I called it a night after two episodes. BTW, the male lead was a major DB and I lost interest despite her beauty.

Night Agent on Netflix was much better than I expected. Just finished it and enjoyed it all. It's rare I can make it through an entire season of anything on Netflix

Same for me on all points! Lol.

Wife and I really like The Diplomat also if you haven’t watched.

On a totally random, The Last Ship is surprisingly decent for network easy background watch tv.

sygazelle · 06-04-2023, 04:21 PM

My wife and I just started The Recruit on Netflix. We've watched 3 episodes and we like it.

TTM0TION · 06-08-2023, 01:48 PM

It's typical cable network TV but I for some reason am addicted to The Last Ship. It was on TNT, now on Hulu or HBO MAX. It won't change your life and is not a cinematic masterpiece or anything but good background filler show.

stein_325i · 06-08-2023, 02:21 PM

Wife and I are watching The Great Season 3 on Hulu. Very enjoyable and fun show, very loosely based on history too.

TXSTYLE · 06-08-2023, 03:05 PM

Super pumped for these. NETFLIX is going all in on the Fantasy genre:

I'm looking forward to the final season of Jack Ryan and hoping that Ted Lasso gets a spinoff of any kind...fuk!
