What TV Shows Are You Watching?

Grand Potentate Grand Potentate I’m half way through S3 of Stranger Things. I never would have watched past e1 of this without your recommendation, but now I’m really enjoying it.
 
finished season 3 of Mayans. man, this was some real Godfather type shit at the end. i've surprisingly enjoyed this season of madness.

barreled through The Offer last night. the show is completely fucking ridiculous yet oddly entertaining. about the making of the godfather.

finished The Offer last night. i honestly enjoyed this. yes the performances were over the top but it was at least enjoyable to watch and kept me entertained. i recommend it.
 
I don’t know why sometimes I watch half an episode here and there but I am doing it with Good Girls. Probably because Christina Hendricks is there. I remember Mae Whitman was a chubby child actress. Now she is a chubby adult woman.
 
Shining Girls

I’m two eps in and likely to finish it. A little slow, but the suspense is building and the plot thickening. Solid acting, right editing and some nice cinematography.

So far I’ll give it a 7/10 but I hope that goes up as I get in deeper

Finally finished this. 8/10. A bit slow to start, but worth it.
 
i got a good review of apple's For All Mankind. premise is that we lose out to the russians on getting to the moon first and then we lose out to them on getting the first woman to space. about half way through s1 so far and its pretty good. KILLER soundtrack so far.

I saw season two came out. By that time my second free Apple TV trial expired so I never watched it.

As I told Dropbear the first season is slow or sometimes ploddingly slow. Then the show runner read the reviews and season two became season one on steroids with more action, bigger set ups in space, etc. The alternative history is interesting to me but when you're already in the age of Reagan in season two I don't know how much more archival footage you can string together against the Soviet Union.

i actually enjoyed season 1 with the slow pace. it felt like it was building to something. admittedly, the time jumps kind of threw me for a loop at points, but it was still a good watch. i did skip over some of the overly dramatic wife scenes though so i think that helped.

season 2 has been a real roller coaster so far. about half way through at this point and i can't quite figure out yet if i still like it or not.

Irma Vep.

Very good.

next on my list.
 
ok finished season 2 of For All Mankind. it REALLY seems to be losing its footing at this point. the alternate timelines and time jumps are coming hot and heavy now and it has become much more about the russian threat rather than nasa. overall i enjoyed it, and it has some legitimately great moments, but its not as good as season 1.

season 3 starts and its just gone completely off the rails.

I meant to say season three above. I should just skip it? Battlestar Galactica was sort of like that.

They seem to do this with Al the shows now. Stranger things is doing it as well. Just a way for them to drag it out and run more commercials.

The Better Call Saul new episode is out now, not overly impressed, running out of steam.

I watched first episode tonight. Enjoying it. Refreshing to see another view rather than Mr. Lydon or Malcolm again or some old rock journo. Good depictions of UK London at the time.

Started watching it and along with London, good depictions of the barren north at the time and the hysteria of that interview. Which is not over played. They've done an excellent job, as you say, not just Lydon's and Malcom's perspective.

The actor who plays Mclaren seems too young to me, but he plays him very well. The actress who does Vivienne Westwood I think is too attractive to play her. I find her very enticing.

The others are all well casted. Script is excellent.

I started this last night.

A young woman out for a night of partying is raped by several men. She has no recollection of what happened, but as time goes by, her memory is becoming clearer.

She is leaning on her boyfriend, brother and sister in law to get her through this event, but some of those people have hidden motives.

I can't really comment more as I am at the beginning of ep 3 of 10.

I will hold off on rating until I complete.
 
Anyone watching Resident Evil on Netflix?

The flashback is a bit much in the first two episodes. Hopefully once the background story is established it will flow better.

It's more refreshing than recent Resident Evil movies where planet Earth has 100 humans and 8 billion zombies. There are 300 million humans and 6 billion zombies.

I jump around so much with TV series.....

I started this last night. Just like it sounds...

A butcher is leaving dead bodies rather close to police stations and defying the authorities to come get some. The police are puzzled...and ep 1 is pushing me to watch ep 2(of 3).

Again, I have to withhold my review until I finish, but it is off to a good start!
 
Watched in one sitting last night the Los Angeles serial killer documentary City of Angels | City of Death, all six episodes. Amazing time the late 70s they had several serial killers operating all at once in the city with the detectives having nothing but pen, paper and serious overtime to solve the murders. Fascinating.

Then I started watching the first episode of Sea Power which deals with the Dreadnought, the naval arms race and WWI. Very well down. Recommended.
 
I wish I had another Apple trial to watch this. I don’t know why I like this show although now with the two adopted kids maybe it is less about being in London.

there are better things on apple tv. plenty of free trial offers or you can just share a subscription with someone you know.

I watched S1 of this a few years ago and tbh I really liked it. That and Ted Lasso are/were the only things worth watching on the pitiful Apple TV. I watched slow horses (also on Apple TV) on holiday recently and I really liked it and black Bird seems interesting.

I really should catch up on the remainder of 'trying'.

Rafe Spall said it's one of the few if not the only production he is part of where he can speak with his natural accent.

I watched him - RaFE Spall- a month ago in the west end production of ' to kill a mocking bird' . He was electric. Also the first time I'd been to a theatre in five years.
 
Resident Evil has been ok. The flashbacks really make for two separate stories/timelines that intersect at points. 7/10

Next I’ll either pick up Irma Vep or maybe wait for the Sandman to come out on Friday.

Black bird is good. For all mankind is good. Severance is great.
