Only 2 episodes into Beef but I'm really liking it.

That's pretty much the peak of it

made it through like 5 episodes and just hated it

Yeah it wasn’t great.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

It finished better

The last episode was one of the worst last episodes I can remember.

I don't really remember anymore. I just meant I almost quit in the middle and got a little better from there. Maybe I was just committed to finishing at that point.

Liked the Highwaymen

Great Netflix movie. Highly recommend

seems to be getting good reviews, I was pessimistic but will now give it a try

I started it this weekend. Glover and Erskine work well together and Turturo is always good. A bit slower than I expected, so I think I only got through 2 eps and didn't keep going. Will probably finish it at some point.

I watched the whole thing. Good concept, good cast, poor script. The wheels really came off toward the end.

Been watching The Chosen after people repeatedly telling me I should watch it. Didn't warm up to it right away but now I love it. I wasn't aware that 650 million people had already watched it and that Whoopi Goldberg was a fan

Just picked up start of season 3 of For All Mankind.

It’s umm, something, yep.

Tokyo Vice (HBO Max)

Season 1 has been around for a bit; Season 2 begins streaming on Feb 8.
I just happened to stumble upon this through a pop-up ad while viewing something else.
I'm only two episodes in, so I'll give another comment when I complete season 1, so far, I like it a lot.
It's well produced, written and acted. There is a bit of Japanese language captioning, but it's not hard to follow.

So far what I've seen, this is a somewhat dark drama based on an American working as an entry level journalist on the crime beat for the local an all-Japanese newspaper and all the hijinks that follow.

Has anyone else watched? Any opinions? Hoping it keeps a favorable trajectory.

I liked it.....but less for any mystery or crime drama and more for the fish out of water story.

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

I finally started Peacemaker (Max) and am enjoying it. I think I only have one episode to go.

I haven't seen Suicide Squad, but they recapped a bit at the beginning. I doubt I'm missing much from that angle.

Peacemaker was great fun. Reminds me of The Boys.

Love the opening dance scene, and Jennifer Holland is exquisite.

 

[fantasy stud]

We Are the World doc on Netflix was fun. I'm a suckered for a behind the scenes production/music doc anyway.

This was good.
I'm astounded that it got made at all, let alone in one night.

Just watched it. I too am a sucker for these type of docs. Crazy from an operational standpoint they were able to get all these stars together. Crazy. The egos involved in a collaboration like this was remarkable. Bob Dylan being so uncomfortable was interesting. Wasnt his thing yet he stuck it out. Waylon was like, actual African lyrics? I'm out. Ha ha. Prince doing Prince things made me laugh. Reminded me of Chappelle skit poking fun at him. That drunk guy, don't remember his name, trying to sing was cringey. Ha ha. Great watch though for a great cause.

It was a fun watch. I remember this coming out when I was a kid, but never knew much about how it was actually made.

 

[Hawks64]

I'm watching Doom Patrol (Max). I'm a little more than a season in and it's pretty fun.

It's a pretty fun show but falls way off in the later seasons, so much so that we never finished it.

 

[El Floppo]

Started The Tourist... I think on Netflix. It's decent but hasn't necessarily elevated yet.

man, the content out right now is underwhelming

thinking about doing another round of Andor or GOT out of boredom

 

[simsarge]

Mr and Mrs Smith series on Amazon is pretty fun. 3 episodes in

Liked the movie a lot. The move with replacing a fun AJ & BP big budget movie with these two and a drudgery of a plot made me bail 3/4 through episode 1.

 

[dgreen]

Anybody try the Alexander the Great documentary on Netflix?...looks mid.

Way too much dramatization. I’d rather just listen to the historians talk.

Agreed.

 

[Buckna]

Masters of the air episode 1 is out, it’s stunningly beautiful and has had some powerful moments already. I didn’t realize Barry Keoghan is in it, made me think of zoolander and the “that hansel is so hot right now” line.

Episode 3 is amazing, very brutal and accurate depiction of the air war. Some surprise deaths early on. Also some branching of the narrative and changing the structure of the story which makes sense. Given the nature of the warfare and the massive casualties (minor spoiler, but the odds of making 25 missions and going home like what was depicted in Memphis Belle was something like around a 25% chance. The 100th they are focusing on was one of the hardest hit squadrons in the entire war too.) So they won’t be able to stick to a straightforward, follow the progression of the war type story like Band of Brothers. Interested to see how they fill out the other episodes.

Agreed for the most part. Also wasn't a fan of where it ended.

It wasn't bad. I might watch if it comes back for another season.

Started last night and got halfway through season 1. Interesting enough to continue, but not encouraged to hear that

I enjoyed The Diplomat and am looking forward to season two.

The Night Agent is like the Nickelback of TV shows for me...

I liked The Diplomat but not enough to watch another season.
I barely made it through the first episode of The Night Agent

 

[New Binky the Doormat]

we started the Truman Capote vs the Swans - pretty good, we'll keep watching

 

[zoonation]

Griselda Netflix.

6/10. Just doesn't hold up in the genre compared to shows that have come before it. Sofia Vergara just can't quite rise to the demands of the role. In fairness, the writing didn't do her any favours. Struggled to finish it.

2 episodes in and liking it quite a bit. Tough getting past Gloria from Modern Family but i think she's doing a good job.

 

[Wingnut]

I've had this on my mental list. Need something "easy" to distract and deafen my sorrow over wikkid's passing. Would this one qualify?

Love on the Spectrum, IMO.

Aussie or US version.

Both are good. Unlike most dating/reality shows, I root for everyone on these shows.

Michael, aka Mr A+ from the US show, is awesome.

We just finished it up last night. I thought it was good. Not great but worth watching.

We did too. It was kinda meh for me. I feel like Vergara miscast herself as the lead... From her physique, even with the prosthetic honker, but especially her portrayal which came across as always running scared instead of soul-eating.

 

[eoMMan]

Just finished Griselda. Not bad. Lots of Spanish but they show subtitles. Much more entertaining than True Detective.

Loved the We Are the World doc. So cool to see them in awe of each other in the room as it all came together.

And absolutely hilarious to watch Bob Dylan genuinely not understand that he was actually supposed to sing his part.

Huey Lewis remains one of my all-time favorites.

an episode and a half into hijack on apple tv staring Idris Elba, entertaining enough for now…

I finished Suits this week.
Started off pretty good then it got tiring with the same situations over and over again. The last season was a decent send off.

My wife’s favorite series in 2023. I liked Harvey and Lewis the best. Mike’s character not as much. Jessica’s character not so much. Hardman is a good villain.

Lewis grew on me and really enjoyed him by the end of the series.
I agree, Hardmann was a good villain.

I enjoyed it - recently renewed for a second season. One of the shows I watched without my wife as it takes forever to get through shows we watch together.

Should I start Suits? My 20 year old daughter loves it and says I would too.

Should I start Suits? My 20 year old daughter loves it and says I would too.

I binged it a couple of years ago after having never watched it. It's not a show that will leave you thinking about days afterward, but it's entertaining. I liked it.
Episode 1 is a good first episode to convince you to go on or quit right out of the gate.
