Yeah I love this show, very well made and interesting story so far. I didn't know this was the finale, that sucks, going to be a long wait for a season 2(hopefully)

I have also finished Away. Their lack of discipline and "unit cohesion", especially after training together over 2 years really bothered me.

Debates (2020)
Two old men yelling at each other. Very cringeworthy, but apparently two more episodes coming. 1/10.

That's a really low bar considering the substandard content on Apple TV+. I was expecting much better from them.

I was excited to start Tehran. I'm about 1.5 episodes in and it's decent so far. It feels a little disconnected and hoping it will come together better.

Yes it is a low bar. Tom Hanks movie was very good. As far as series go, I though Morning Show was ok but a little too political and went on too long. Defending Jacob started very good but needed up being ok but not great. We watched something with elephants that was pretty good. No plans to pay for it when trial is over.

South Park season premier is tonight. 1 hour long episode entitled "Pandemic." This will be good.

ramman434 · 09-30-2020, 12:54 PM

Jeez I haven't watched South Park in forever. I've gotta be at least 6-7 seasons behind. If I ever find the time...

Wife finally talked me into watching "New Girl", which I'm hoping I can get as a trade to make her watch How I Met Your Mother (we all know the finale sucks).
Really liking New Girl though. Dunno how I've never seen it before. We're halfway through the 1st season

Just binge watched this.
Well done, I thought.

Hoping for a follow up season.

Peaky Blinders is absolute fire.

hmmm...i actually thought the tension between the crew was more realistic than most portrayals of small crews confined together for long periods of time. considering the international politics involved, i think those types of clashes would actually happen. you sorta have to push the believe button on the logic for the crew composition -- it's not that far a stretch from the current situation with the international space station -- but the scenarios seemed realistic.

hilary swank is actually my least favorite character...

changing topics....

we've been watching "killing eve" for the last two weeks, and it's pretty great...at least up to halfway through season 2. jodie comer is probably having the most fun of any actor in recent memory playing her character. her facial expressions are amazing.

bigrum · 09-30-2020, 05:06 PM

Love Fargo, a little weird this season but I'm still intrigued.

TXSTYLE · 09-30-2020, 06:08 PM

Only on HULU!

We've probably watched the entire series 3-4 times. It's great.

I think the word you're looking for is "woke".

Let's see how far it goes.

Always a little weird but usually not political/social crusade-driven. As noted above, let’s see how far it goes. Could turn out fine or could ruin the show. We’ll see soon enough.

Chance on Hulu. House(Hugh Laurie) is back and this time as a neuropsychiatrist, really interesting show.

But... To each his own.

So I've watched the first 7 episodes now, the first 5 were ok, not great. Episode 6 and 7 were complete garbage. I'm done.

Anyone interested in big sky coming in November on ABC? By David E Kelly.I may give it a watch even though I don't watch major network shows

Clark_Kent · 10-02-2020, 11:17 PM

It's official. I gave it three full episodes but I'm done with Tehran. It was promising but the story never quite came alive.

stein_325i · 10-03-2020, 07:56 AM

Just finished Raised by Wolves, so good! Sad I'm gonna have to wait for season 2 now.
