Except GOT was awesome until season 8. Succession was just kind of ok.

I loved Succession. They probably could have squeezed a few more episodes out of it.

I think that Feud: The Swans or whatever the hell it is has been pretty entertaining. Guy playing Truman Capote is awesome.

American Conspiracy: The Octopus Murders on Netflix is pretty great. I was a just a kid in the 80’s so wasn’t familiar with this story. Wild stuff.

We've been watching the Last of Us somehow (don't think we have HBO).
I keep forgetting which zombie show I'm watching despite the beautiful world building and quality acting. I find myself hating the girls character (I'm sure intentionally) and keep waiting for her to say The King of North! And for not many characters, that's a lot of gay.

Rewatching GoT. Just got up to the episode where The Mountain kills The Viper. SPOILER
There have been very few wasted scenes in 4 seasons of hour long shows. It’s crazy good.
I forgot when it start sucking but it has been so great to watch again.

There have been stories trickling out since the finale that it was not the easiest set to work on. Brian Cox and Jeremy Strong are decent guys but have intense yet disparate approaches to acting that led to unending strife and conflict.
Those two just wore everyone down, and so four seasons was enough for all involved.
Honestly, I think it showed on camera. I know I am in the minority, but I think the acting was subpar on this show outside of Cox.
I do not get the love for Strong at all. I can walk around saying "yeah, ok" and "dude" for an hour too.

So I'm glad I stuck with Beef. Some of the middle episodes weren't very good but I thought it finished well and was good overall.

Just fyi that’s there’s a dedicated thread for in-depth discussion of this extraordinary cinematic project.
The Tourist on Netflix
Fired up Netflix for the Dave Chapelle stand up in Jan, they get us every time for a couple months. Watched just about everything we wanted and will be shutting it off end of March -However before we did, we started watching this show and were pleasantly surprised how fast Season 2 got loaded...

Fallout comes out tomorrow on Prime and the trailers have made it look pretty damn good.
Doing the same and I’m a few episodes ahead of you. It’s disappointing knowing the masterpiece will be completely fumbled at the goal line.
I thought it was April 11th, not March?

You're correct. Evidently I either don't know how to read or mixed up my March and April.

Early Expanse was ok; late Expanse was masterpiece.
Watched the first episode and a bit of The Gentlemen on Netflix. Guy Ritchie does not disappoint. Definitely has a Lock, Stock vibe and is just as fun so far. And there is no such thing as too much Vinny.
My opinion was that it started sucking in some of the season 7 and 8 episodes. I think many people noticed a change in style starting around Season 5 though, which is when the source material began to run out.

We just decided to give Apple a try.
Watched E1 of Foundation. Seems ok. Realized that I don't remember anything from the books that I read maybe 40+ years ago.
Watched E1 of Masters of the Air. Liked it and feel committed to the rest of the series.
Watched the complete season of Silo. Enjoyed it. Felt as if Rod Serling did an adaptation of the Allegory of the Cave (except, of course, he would have done it in a single episode). Can probably justify a 2nd season. I would watch that too.

Silo is from a post-apocalyptic series of books - there is more to the story.

The Wool series by Hugh Howey. Really hoping this makes it because the series was excellent.

‘Tacoma FD’ Canceled At TruTV After 4 Seasons
There will no Season 5 for Tacoma FD. TruTV has canceled the comedy series, its last remaining scripted series, after four seasons.

Since Netflix picked it up i'd say it has some life. This had to be hampered by being on TruTv

I'm about to finish Season 4 in my first watch of The Americans. If I knew I'd be seeing Keri Russell's *** this much, I'd have started this a long time ago. Anyway, great series, particularly Russell's acting. At times, she can be cold blooded with this terrifyingly cold look on her face. Wouldn't have thought she necessarily had the chops for it. Color me impressed. Also, really like any scene with Stan Beeman.
They're setting this up to be like the Walt/Hank moment in Breaking Bad where Stan finally learns the truth about his neighbors. Can't wait to see how they do that whole thing.
But my favorite aspect is that the show does not fall into the trap of making the Russians evil, and the USA good. The lines are blurred and its so much more realistic that way.

I really enjoyed The Americans. Great acting all around.
My favorite part is showing how in the terror based bureaucracy of the USSR you would be killed for breaking the rules or not doing your job. But the only way to do your job was to break the rules. Communism is not a good idea

Yeah, I was going to praise this show for being remarkably clear-eyed about who the good guys were and who the bad guys were during the cold war, but now I'm wondering if I watched the same show as others.
Andy Dufresne
Footballguy
Yeah, I didn't find it all that morally ambiguous.
I'm sure the CIA has done it's share of "bad guy stuff". But on a systemic level I think it was pretty clear which side was "worse".

Is this one a re-make or a sequel to the 2019 Ritchie movie of the same name starring Matthew McConaughey?
The Gentlemen (2019 film) - Wikipedia
It's neither a remake or a sequel, but it's a story told in a similar vein.

I agree with Payne in that it started off pretty good, but leveled off quickly. I think I'm 3 or 4 episodes in now and the itch to watch the next episode ASAP isn't really there. I'd like to see where the story goes sure.
If you like Ritchie movies, this one is worth a watch.

The chicken scene was absolutely glorious.
While not a "funny" show, it has a few pretty funny moments.

Good grief - a show based on Fallout?
And yeah, The Americans is great.

Started watching this the other week. After a couple episodes the wife started watching, I summarized what happened and she’s been enjoying it. Halfway through season 2.
