We just started it and I agree it's a good show but the lead actor is a very bad actor. The rest of the cast is great.
OT: TMB TV/Streaming Shows Club: Thread for streaming/TV show discussion…
- Thread starter Midnighter
- Start date
Does it get any better? Watched the first episode and it was decidedly mediocre. I did, however, get a laugh out of the black police chief telling him to keep his wife's name out of his mouth at the end. Will Smith needs to get better material.
FC: I just read a new Bosch series called Bosch Legacy is coming out May 6th.
I am really liking The Dropout on Hulu with Amanda Seyfried and Naveen Andrews. It's about the whole Theranos mess.
We finished episode 4 last night and I figure we'll finish up the season to see how it ends. I couldn't imagine sitting through another season though.
Killing Eve - maybe because too much time has gone by between watching episodes, but I have no idea what’s going on this season. Just can’t figure out the motives behind the revenge killings…. I really liked this show in years 1-2, but like many others, it has gone on too long…..Constantine, far and away is my favorite character.
Agree. I made it through the first half of the first episode of this latest season and thought to myself, "Do I really care about these characters anymore?" It's as if the creators are so busy patting themselves on the back for the curated self-indulgent style of the show that they have sort of abandoned cohesive storytelling. A 15 point NBA game in the third quarter seemed like a better use of my time.
No spoilers please! And this is the final season. So, your misery will end soon (if you bother to finish).
Don’t worry. I don’t do spoilers…. My wife’s sister reads the end of a book first and often watches tv episodes in reverse order. Then she tries to tell you about it. I call her “the human spoiler.”
In case it hasn’t been discussed, the next season of Barry will be starting tomorrow on HBO. I can’t wait!
Availalble today on HBO/Max. Looks interesting.

Levinson was clueless with Paterno but I'll give him one pass due to Diner.

Anyone watching Moon Knight?
The last 2 episodes have been off the charts trippy. Sort of Noah Hawley Legionesque.
Pretty fun.

Found out today there are QR scan codes in episodes 1 &2 as well as Episode 5. The one in Episode 1 is about 5 minutes in and is on the wall when Steven is giving the small tour to the girl. Episode 2 is on the wall of the storage facility Steven goes into about 8 minutes in. Episode 5 it’s on the wall near the door where Marc/Steven’s childhood is. The codes allow you to go to a Marvel site where you can read three original Moonknight comics, including the Werewolf one which is supposedly going to be another one in the Marvel canon.

Oh, this is great to hear! You know I love Hawley and Legion. I also really want to like Moon Knight, but haven't dug the first three episodes (feels like a completely different universe than the MCU). This makes me want to watch immediately though!
Very cool! I missed that. I remember reading Moon Knight comics in the 80's and returning to the character in the 90's when Stephen Platt drew the series (and launched his career). Always a lot of potential, but they just couldn't figure out what to do with him. I still feel like that's the case, but Black Panther and Iron Man used to similarly suffer, and they really cracked the code on them.
Moon Knight show will end after episode 6. Whether he shows up again somewhere is ? I enjoyed the show as it is atypical stuff and Oscar Isaac is terrific.
I saw that too. There's got a lot of ground to cover in one episode.
I hope it comes back I liked it.
Supposed to be the shortest final episode of a limited series thus far, 41-45 minutes.
We Own This City HBOMAX, for fans of the Wire. More Baltimore action.
Under The Banner of Heaven on FX. From the Krakauer novel about religious fanaticism in the Mormon church. Fairly disturbing and well acted with Andrew Garfield, Daisy Edgar-Jones, Sam Worthington, and Wyatt Russell.
Fellow History / WW II buffs should be on the lookout for this tv show about SAS Hero Paddy Mayne

This is almost certainly the wrong crowd, but is anyone watching Atlanta on FX? Slowly working itself in to my all time top five. This year has been tremendous as it's sort of split the season in half - one half follows our four main characters around Europe, the other is a sort of anthology series dealing with race/cultural issues throuh a Twilight Zone-esque lens. Unlike most shows that use blunt force to clumsily deal with these issues, Atlanta is much smarter and more nuanced. They're looking for a conversation, not one answer or another. These themes run throughout the entire series (clip from a fictitious 'talk show' one of the characters appears on from S1 deals with a 'trans-racial' teenager who thinks he's a 35 year old white man from Colorado).
Also, this week Liam Neeson made an appearance as himself. Tremendous writing from Donald Glover....video quality isn't great here, but the context is Paper Boi (Bryan Tyree Henry) took some drugs and ended up in a Lynchian bar called 'Cancel Club' where he runs into Liam Neeson at the bar. They have the following conversation....

Finished up the Winning Time series. Really liked it. Thought the guy who played Magic was very good and John C Rielly was excellent.
They seemed to mellow out Jerry as the series went along but apparently West was not happy with his portrayal.
The other guy that I would think has a problem with it is Bird. They made him look like a total dick.
And strangely enough the one guy who didn't have any issues is Spencer Haywood and he did not come off well.
But overall I thought it was pretty good.
Enjoying Outer Range with the missus. It’s Yellowstone redux but spooky as he** at times.
Anyone watching the Netflix miniseries Pentaverate? Its created by Mike Meyers, who plays 7 characters, and stars Keegan_Michael Key. Just started the first episode and haven’t finished it yet. The premise is funny.
Outer Range was a decent time-waster. I liked the build-up in the first 6 six or so episodes more than I did the final 2 episodes of season 1, when it went a bit wacky for my tastes (maybe it'll be reigned in and tied up in later seasons), but overall ... a good show.
Caught the first 2 episodes, for free on Peacock, of The Man Who Fell to Earth. I liked it.
The rest I'll have to watch on Showtime.
Am watching Our Flag Means Death and loving it.
Think Monty Python in a bawdy, very bawdy, pirate movie meets What we Do in the Shadows.

Anyone catch the first 2 episodes of Obi Wan?
I liked it. I'm not familiar with the "inquisitors" but like where its going.
Also thought the Bosch spinoff series was a little slow getting started but really liking it now.
There is some horrible acting and dialogue in this series especially with the character of Reva. Good grief amateur overacting at it’s finest. Hopefully this “Kylo-Ren” lite character gets offed soon.
I always thought the dialogue, in the Star Wars movies, was pretty cheesy. I really don't know anything about her story "arc" but I doubt she makes it till the end.
the Big Conn- 4 parts true story must watch on Apple TV
Follows the story of Eric C. Conn, a Kentucky attorney who managed to steal over $550 million dollars from the U.S. government through its Social Security program.
Thats right stole $550 MILLION of your money, cause what would it hurt?
