I would like "Hated in the Nation" a lot more if they cut about a third of it. The idea is great, and I love the actress who I only remember from Trainspotting. I just think this episode is bloated and would be better if were more focused and condensed.

Tour de France: Unchained on Netflix is off to a good start if anyone is remotely interested in cycling, sports or just a compelling documentary of a massive event

Hang the DJ gets my best Black Mirror episode vote.

We did a thread ranking the black mirror episodes I believe

I think it was just in the Black Mirror thread. Here was mine. If I had to redo this, Nosedive and Hang the DJ would probably move to top 3, as those along with Entire History have really stayed with me.

1.3 "The Entire History of You"
2.4 "White Christmas"
3.1 "Nosedive"
3.2 "Playtest"
3.3 "Shut Up and Dance"
2.2 "White Bear"
4.4 "Hang the DJ"
1.2 "Fifteen Million Merits"
3.4 "San Junipero"
4.1 "USS Callister"
3.6 "Hated in the Nation"
4.3 "Crocodile"
1.1 "The National Anthem"
4.6 "Black Museum"
4.2 "Arkangel"
4.5 "Metalhead"
3.5 "Men Against Fire"
2.1 "Be Right Back"
2.3 "The Waldo Moment"

Man, 99% on board here i think. Dig this list. Shut up and Dance/Playtest I feel like don't get talked about enough.

Shut Up and Dance is in my top 5 as I dig the criminal justice angle of it (which is also why I like White Bear better than most). I need to re-watch Playlist because it just didn't stick with me and I think I didn't totally get the ending (i.e. realized what had happened) on my first watch.

You have good taste.

No talk of the witcher is disappointing

2.4 "White Christmas"

“Maybe he comes down here chimney” while sharpening a knife is still the best line in the show imo.

I'm late to game here but just finished Severance. Wow I love this show.

I just finished it too. The last season sucked but I enjoyed the ride. They should do a spinoff of Tom & Greg. Love their interactions.

EDIT: Ooops I was talking about Succession

yeah, he is thinking of succession and not severance

Anyone still watching Silo? I just watched the finale. I wanted to see it through to the end thinking that I wouldn't watch season 2 (if there is one). Now, though ... dammit. I'm intrigued enough to at least watch an episode or two.

 

[Birdie048]

Gave Night Agent a shot. Made it through 2 episodes and I’m out. Acting is awful.

The plot was a challenge also. They didn’t think reality of a government role

Big fan of Giralt Season 1 & 2, but the new short series "Origin of Witcher" was not done to the same caliber of story line - bit disappointing
And Henry Cavil 's not returning for Season 4 of Witcher so I might stop after 3

 

[jamny]

Watching The Diplomat and with all the hot black actresses in the world, they could have picked a better one for him to have sex with in the lake. Kinda manish, imo.

Got caught up on Platonic on Apple+. It's enjoyable as a light adult comedy to have on in the background or before bed. 7/10.

I enjoyed the first episode and a half so far. Cavill is so great in this role, I can’t believe they are replacing him. And apparently they are contriving some plot device that explains why Geralt suddenly looks different next year, which is even more absurd.

 

[whoknew]

Mrs. Davis - Really enjoyed it. It's funny and weird and sad and interesting and has a voice. Good stuff.

Season 2 of The Bear premieres tomorrow on Hulu

Loved this show; but I have a bad feeling this is going to be another one that should have stopped after one season.

Nope. Season 2 started a bit slow but has kicked it in to overdrive. I have 2 episodes left, the previous 3 were really top notch.

 

[The General]

Holy crap! The Christmas flashback episode of the latest season of The Bear was incredible, intense, insane.

I don’t want to spoil any of the surprises, but there were some awesome performances across the board. This should win a number of Emmy’s.

It’s up there with some of the best TV episodes I’ve seen. (I won the TV draft, so I know what I’m talking about)

Yep. That was an amazing episode. Had the vibe of the episode last season when they started selling orders online but then you add all these performances and story building. Really great stuff.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Anyone have google TV? Thoughts on it...pros cons...?

Google tv like a tv with that operating system or YouTube tv?

If you mean YouTube tv, my favorite thing about it is being able to setup individual profiles where each person can customize their own tv guide and have their own recordings.

If you’re talking about the tv operating system Google tv, I can’t help you there.

 

[jobarules]

Finally started Black Mirror new season. Joan is Awful was incredible.

I do appreciate the excellent acting in Black Mirror, especially from a cast almost entirely unknown to me.

Lincoln Lawyer

bloated story
hate when they make the lead always the smartest guy in the room (like reacher on prime)
movie was better
would not recommend but I could see a lot of people enjoying it

I thought it was entertaining enough. Could have been better and the lead bugs me a bit with his accent at times.

Wife and I started Deadloch last night on Prime and we are hooked after the first episode. It's an Australian Crime/Comedy. Great mix of humor and drama and great characters. It's rare one episode can hook me so fast. Hopefully it holds up.

Yeah I’m enjoying this too. Last episode is dropping this week. The Eddie character is awesome fun. The shoes

Finished "The Bear" Season 2. So great. Amazing show that is so well done.

Some crazy cameos in this season as well.

 

[massraider]

The Netflix docuseries on American Gladiators was something else. I only ever caught bits and pieces of the show when it was on, but if you watched it regularly, this is kind of a must-see. True Hollywood sleaze. The former cast is pretty open, they know that's what gets attention.

Just binged all the episodes that are out.Don’t know if the bus is a cliffhanger ending for the season or if there’s more to come out still.

I think my favorite part is Dulce quietly pointing out contradictions and outright fallacies and absolutely nobody heeding her.

People that I saw who took very minor roles in the show that was cool to see:

Olivia Clark (won an Oscar a couple years ago)
Bob Odenkirk
Jaimie Lee Curtis
Will Poulter (been in a bunch of movies, some Oscar type films, Comic Book stuff as well)
John Mulaney (not a huge star but still somewhat big for such a small role)
Sarah Paulson (see above)
Gillian Jacobs (see above)

And coming coming back from last season to play super small roles: Joel McHale and Jon Bernthal

Just watched the 30 for 30 on American Gladiators recently, which was pretty interesting. May get around to this eventually as well

Really enjoying The Bear as well. The entire cast is excellent. The wife and I Just started Season 2 last night.

One of the best soundtracked shows I can recently remember. Always look forward to a nugget at the beginning and the end of the show. The closing songs always keep me around to the end of the credits.

This and Beef knocked it out if the park with soundtracks.

The Bear really uses music well to build tension up.

For this season, I do think it took a couple episodes to ramp up. The last 4 episodes or so were pretty much perfect.

Both are worth watching and present different viewpoints. Many of the cast that were willing to do the Netflix documentary refused to be a part of the ESPN 30 for 30, which had more of a focus on the creator/owner of American Gladiators, it's beginning in the early 80s, and more of the controversy surrounding him and ways that they have attempted to keep the brand alive.

I’m 7 eps in and really like it for the reasons you stated.

 

[dickey moe]

re: The Wire, I missed the boat when it originally aired. Have always heard rave reviews about it, so about 10 years ago, the wife and I set out to watch it. We were incredibly bored through the first two episodes and ended up watching something else. I'm guessing I need to revisit since it is widely known as an all-time great. But for fans of the show, do you agree that the first couple episodes were very slow?

Yes, but it slowly becomes one of the best shows you'll ever have watched if you have the patience for it.

Surprised no one has created a thread for the show in here yet. Definitely thread-worthy. That Christmas dinner episode was incredible.

 

[Eephus]

My family is working our way slowly through The Bear S2 because it's hard to coordinate three schedules. I thought the first few episodes of the season were veering into Ted Lasso territory but then episode 6 came along and slapped me upside the head with seven fishes. Amazing episode that topped the intensity of season 1.

 

[Eephus]

Finished off The Idol. Thankfully it was only five episodes. It was bad, slow and depraved but it had its moments I guess. I enjoyed it more after I decided it was supposed to be a comedy.

Yep. It ramps up from there.
