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

It's entertaining to say the least. Plenty of holy shit moments. Plenty of disturbing moments. It definitely has me looking forward to what happens next.

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.

I agree.

I am eager to see the beginning of Ozark's season four even if it's going to be split into two parts.

Anyone else hooked on Yellowstone? The plot thickens with every episode. Just started season two.

Haha, you're right, my bad. That's why I've stopped avoiding this thread and I'm coming back...just gonna skim through stuff that mentions it.

Ya, noticed that too. The last episode they tried that thing to spice it up, but I feel like they should've made it go on more for more effect.

Definitely not everyone's cup of tea but I really liked Dispatches from Elsewhere. So meaningful. Jason Segel is different.

We love it, although season 4 seems a bit unorganized. 1883 is the precursor to Yellowstone. Slow paced but good.

well, i'll give you season 3 as a big, boring mess...but i liked 1 & 2.

we've started 'black spot' on netflix...and it's entertaining so far.

appears to be a french mash up of a detective procedural + campy horror. it may turn into a disaster but the imdb reviews are fairly good. lots of stuff happening in 4 episodes, but they're holding off on the big reveal.

CONDOR on EPIX and thru Apple TV -- Superb. Its the latest version of the Book - 6DAYS OF THE CONDOR and the Robert Redford movie - 3 DAYS OF THE CONDOR. Also the writers clearly had some experienced script consultants who spent time in the business. R // Jim

It's achingly slow, I got 75% of the way through season one and it was going nowhere, like absolutely nowhere. Could have just been a movie.

Just watched the first Ep of series 3 of Ozark.

What a great show and I am really looking forward to this one!

Season 3, or season 4? I'm really looking forward to season 4. It's going be another cold Saturday, perfect for binge watching the first episodes.

Were just finishing season 2 of Breaking Bad, we may put it on pause to watch Ozark, too damn cold to go outside here too.

I just started season 4. I will definitely take a break and watch Ozark now.

Joe Pickett ended up pretty alright.

Joekerr · 01-21-2022, 12:33 PM

Watching Superstore for some mindless (key word is mindless) comedy. There were some parts where I smiled or chuckled at least, so not too bad. Its a fair middle ground for the wife and I, we are not too aligned on what we prefer to watch, so its a good one to watch together.

Just brutal, on paper yeah it's solves that middle ground issue as we are so far apart on what we like a lot of the time but Superstore was brutal, so forced, couldn't get through 3 episodes.

Yeah, can't say I'm hooked but there is the odd laugh I might get once a show or once every two shows, so I'm ok with finishing it off. She was laughing a lot more at it, but I have chuckled at it too admittedly. It is very forced.

I'm honestly pretty sure we first started watching it because we were both sitting there with a nice hot slices of pizza on our lap and I was having to find a common show while she ate...so my slices were getting cold while I flipped through the options. I would have probably settled for just about anything at that point, just wanted to eat. Which is why I now occasionally get her to find the show instead.

I'm just not sure what we'll watch after, feels like we are running out of common ground options.

Season 2 was quite a struggle but they fix it all in season 3. It's a hell of a ride and one hell of an ending.

Yeah, we watched season 1 and 2 of Ozarks. To be honest, I liked Season 1, got bored by end of Season 2, and thought Season 3 was a fair bit better than Season 2, but not as good as Season 1. I did like the ending of Season 3 though.

We'll probably get around to watching Season 4.
