In all seriousness, after Mr. In-Between, go watch Kingdom (MMA) on Peacock.
It's the Kingdom to rule all Kingdoms.

Just started a gem of a show. Only 2 episodes in but really enjoying it.
It's called Irreverent and it's on Peacock. The only reason I know about it is one of my good friends here is friends with the lead actor (he's from St Louis).
Here's the trailer.
Rotten Tomatoes audience score is 92%.

Watched and while they were talking about the increased tourism they are seeing, I thought we could be in S3 if there is one. We are going to England in Feb and one of the stops will be Wrexham.

Foundation season finale today. Anyone still watching? It’s my new favorite hate watch. Lee Pace either needs to be asked to stop acting forever or an Emmy nomination.

Thanks for the rec. I am a sucker for Aussie shows for some reason. Usually pretty decent writing, acting, scenery, foul language, and eye candy. Not many award winners, but very watchable. Looking forward to giving this one a go.

There was another Aussie show in here recommended by someone (el floppo?) called class of '07 which is a solid watch on amazon prime. It takes an episode or two to warm up but the remaining 6 are solid. It's essentially a class reunion for an all girls school that turns into a survivor type show, I think the episodes are like a half hour each and they go by pretty quickly. I'm hoping for a second season as I enjoyed it enough.

Yeah I liked this as well. Kinda like a comedic take on Yellowjackets without the flashback element.
It’s Kiwi not Aussie but if you like class of ‘07 you’ll like Creamerie on Hulu as well. It’s so funny

S1 E7 of The Bear is some of the most intense TV I have ever seen, and it entirely took place in a kitchen.

Finished the second season of Foundation - 8/10.
I almost bailed after the first season was so confusing. But I really enjoyed the second season, especially the latter half, because I think the storyline finally clicked with me (even though I'm still not certain which parts are supernatural and which parts comport with actual "science" if you will). But, if you like stories like Dune, Star Wars, and similar deeply-investing sci-fi worlds where the story spans over decades and you may lose a main character or two, this show is definitely worth the watch.

Just got through the third season in a Six Feet Under rewatch. ******** I forgot how great the acting, writing, everything is on this show, particularly loving Frances Conroy's role as Ruth this time.
This is some heavy stuff though that hits A LOT harder this go around. I'm older now so all the death in the show is a bit more relatable I guess.

I've been meaning to give this a re-watch.
It's impressive how well HBO shows hold up. Of course they're great, but they also have great re-watchability (e.g. Wire, Sopranos) compared to other similar quality shows (Breaking Bad, Twin Peaks, etc.).

Watched most of s1, maybe into s2. Got very repetitive and didn't go anywhere for me so I dropped it. Mazi was a lot of fun.
Heard it kind of goes off the rails into S3 though.
S1 was good though.

I'm so bummed they cancelled this show. I absolutely love it. John C. Riley is so amazing in it.

The best post-mortem comment I saw on Twitter was a suggestion for a spin-off with Dr. Buss as an amateur sleuth solving crimes in 70s-80s LA.
There seemed to be less of him and more on-court stuff in season 2 to its detriment.

I've watched a couple more (BBQ pit, and is this Chloe Sevigne?). it IS columbo. there's something there, but I think it's better without Lyonne's part of the story, tbh. but yeah... probably done.

Winning Time finished with probably the best episode of the series. I think that is it for the show.
I know they had to tell all these side stories but the parts where they were just focused on the games was so damn good.
Whoever was responsible for the look, feel, sound track for that show needs to do more work. Was fantastic looking and so well shot.

Canceled? Didn’t realize that. I thought this was one of the better shows of past couple years. Could have gone on for at least another year or so.

I watched both seasons and enjoyed it
I knew it was a homage to Columbo going in so I guess I was more prepared for the standard format of the show.

YOI!!!
There’s the occasional lull but generally it stays very funny for a long time. The 3-8 seasons are probably their peak, so you have several great seasons to go. Maybe a bit of a dropoff after that.
HBO is blaming the writers strike and ratings but they’ve been killing things left and right for a while now. Supposedly they had them film an alternate ending all the way back in January because HBO was already thinking about cancelling it back then.
that sucks for sure. I really enjoyed the whole feel and story. Plus they nailed Magic in the casting. That guy was great and a perfect match. Kareem was good too and Bird's basketball shots were a perfect match as well. Just tremendous.
The General
Footballguy
Yep. I struggle to think of a show or movie based on games we watched and players we all know that did it better.
Dr. Octopus
Footballguy
The casting was superb. Even Adrian Brody, as Riley, which I questioned at first turned out to be perfect. I’m so surprised this show isn’t continuing.
Don Quixote
Footballguy
I was intrigued by it, but did not make it beyond Episode 1. Actors and story were fine, but the editing was some of the most unnecessarily and distractingly excessive that I’ve seen since Bohemian Rhapsody (or maybe Elvis, which similarly hated the editing on).
Dr. Octopus
Footballguy
This must be a new style. I’ve heard other people criticize other recent shows saying the same thing. Personally I don’t notice it, to the point of not being distracted by it at least.
Obviously it would depend on each viewer to decide on that.
Don Quixote
Footballguy
Definitely up to personal preference. I’ve seen people online saying that the editing was one of their favorite parts of the show. I’m just more of a long take kind of guy.

Both he and the guy that played Jerry West were very good.
