We finished up American Primeval last night. It was a good show, particularly the way it depicted life in the American west in the 1850s. That said, the violence was a bit much, which is really saying something. I can't recall the last time I watched a show or movie and thought "they really need to dial the violence back a bit." This may have been a first for me. I feel like the target audience for this show was people who spend way too much time watching Ukranian war footage, and I'm honestly not kidding about that.
Well if you've spent any time watching Ukrainian war footage, Hollywood doesn't do it justice meaning it's a lot worse up close and personal in reality. That said, they didn't pull any punches with this one. Similar to 1883's portrayal of how tough life actually was during that time period, I suspect it's closer to reality than we'd like to admit. Not for the feint of heart but the folks who pushed West were pretty hardcore. Think about what was being asked of the folks who decided to undertake the journey, pack up everything you own and travel a couple thousand miles over unexplored terrain while dealing with hostile Indian tribes trying desperately to hang on to their way of life, marauders who had no law to fear and mother nature just being a ***** every step of the way. Then, just when you're almost there you run into a zealot that is trying to set up his kingdom. The massacre that has everyone upset actually happened.

Hollywood has done a good job making death a lot easier to deal with than it is in reality. These shows that make it a little more realistic are shocking to our subdued sensibilities but if you've ever rolled up on a car wreck with a casualty you know death isn't pretty or easy. Not saying I look for this stuff but when I see it, it doesn't put me off too much. I appreciate the realism.
I get that, and I think a lot about how challenging it must have been for the pioneers. I just don't need to see a guy scalped up close is all. (The rape scene was also too much for me TBH).

This never really occurred to me until a few days ago, but I actually do wonder if the existence of American Primeval is a data point for the argument that social media has desensitized a large chunk of the population to extreme violence. This show is not Terrifier, which is intentionally over-the-top and cartoonish. This is hyper-realistic depictions of extreme real-world violence of the type that most people scroll past as fast as they can when it shows up in their feed. And again, it is a good show. This is not Netflix garbage. It will probably win some awards.

The women's throats getting slit and the kid getting hurt were what got me.

Yea I'm not real big on all the violence. There are other ways to depict what's happening without getting up close and personal. Rawhide never had to do that to get the point across. Still really enjoyed it though.

Ep 4 has this addressed via BiPAP for the Nickname Dispenser, MD. Hoping they talk about legal later on.

LOL for the Naive Newbie earning the yellow wings. Just got his clean scrubs and needs some more.

That sounds like the reviews I read prior to it being mentioned in this thread, and after reading them in this thread --- too violent for me to have a chance of enjoying it. I really hate watching people treated as meat to be sliced, chopped, carved, whatever. The most violent show I've watched was Good Morning Veronica, and my wife and I quit that one after the second episode. I just was not ready for a living woman hanging there on meathooks. But I did like the show a lot because it built and sustained fear well. So a couple weeks later I resumed watching it again after my wife went to bed and finished it. The only other tough episode was 7, I believe, but that wasn't as bad as episode 2. That's my violence limit. That and burning dogs.

The rain. Worth a watch foreign film.
It was a while ago but I remember thinking this was pretty bad. :no:
he said film... I don't remember that one.

I do remember watching the first 15 cringe-worthy awful minutes of the rain tv show and happily pulling the plug and not looking back.
I wish I had seen a few posts like this before I started watching The Rain. It’s awful, but I have to push through it before my wife lets me get back to Landman. I think she likes that The Rain is foreign, so you can get to know a little bit of Danish culture as depicted through their film industry, just from watching it. Indeed, we both liked Dark, not least of all for its German-ness.

But my God, this show is torture to watch. I want every character to die, but wish them a quick death, so that maybe the show will end sooner.
 
I've been sucked into the Black List. On season 8 of 10. Had never heard of it. Now my ADD is forcing me to finish it.
I've enjoyed this show. James Spader has quietly had a rock solid career(Pretty in Pink, Mannequin, Less Than Zero, Wall Street, Avengers movies(Ultron voice), Boston Legal, etc.
He was very good as Robert California in The Office too.
 
On Call (Streaming on Prime)

This is an 8-episode series; 30-minutes per episode which is odd for a police drama.
Main story, two police officers: one a Training Office and one a Rookie out of the Academy.
The show is similar to the level of "Southland". A little below the intensity level of Southland, but it's not a cheese fest that I thought it might be. Well above the quality of Network TV.
One minor spoiler, the series is good, not great, but the last episode felt like they needed another hour and had to wrap it up in 30 minutes.
It does end with an expectation of a second season, which I would gladly check out.
I think it's worth a view. It's easy enough to bail on.

Somewhere upthread I espoused my love for The Rain. I'm on S3E6 I think? I was making a push to get through but started Night Agent S1 and it got bumped.

Quite possibly one of the worst shows I've ever seen. Every episode I think, "it can't possibly get worse" and then BOOM! they prove me wrong. It's a trainwreck every single episode and I can't look away. My battle cry from here to the end of my life will be RRRAAAZZZMMMOOOSSSEEE!

You'll love Night Agent- it's terrible.

I couldn't get through three episodes. not a lot of great content out there right now.

Dexter reboot the only thing I look forward to these days.
Do you have Apple?

I enjoyed Seversnce, Silo and am following along with Prime Target (only 2 eps so far) for new shows. And I'm finally watching Mythic Quest, which is hilarious.

Night Agent - I was ok with S1. Not that good but I watched the whole season. Don't think that I can get thru S2.

Just finished S1, liked it enough. Was kinda hoping S2 was at least as good (not bad?).

Compared to The Rain, it was cinematic brilliance so that's my yardarm.

The Agency is good. Just finished that one.

I'm also enjoying the new Dexter. They should get an Emmy for the casting, if nothing else. (Note that I have no idea if there actually is an award for that)

I enjoyed the first season of Night Agent enough and we're pretty much ready to start S2. I see the above, plus the terrible reviews I've read already and am not looking forward to it now. My better half will want to try, tho, so I have no choice.

I liked S1 enough for another season. Hadn't started S2 mostly because of the time between seasons and it wasn't a top show. Maybe this weekend, but disappointing to hear that it might not be good, or on the same level as s1.

S1 was kind of dumb fun. The first episode and a half of S2 is not very promising.

We’re through 7 episodes of S2, but I’m spending more and more time on my phone. The main character has always been annoying to me, but this season the girl is too. Compared to something like the Diplomat, it’s like a teenager wrote it or something. Will finish reluctantly since wife sort of likes it

This doesn't do justice to all the "RazMoose!" in The Rain but it's all I could find.

 
Traitors watchers:

Just binged the uk seasons on a few flights for work. Love it. I assume the UK seasons are the best? Can’t imagine the others being better given how this show is so built for UK sensibilities.

Which country should I go to next? Hesitate to go with US as it has reality stars but am in your hands.

Lastly, the “seer” twist ruined the game. They should light that on fire.

Cheers and thanks for any suggestions.

Yeah not sure how I feel about the seer being imported from Werewolf, especially since

The ideal strategy is the same for the other players... if two are in conflict, kill them both. In Werewolf, that's OK, since you win "as a team" so when the faithful win, all the faithfuls win, even the dead. In The Traitors, though, only the ones that make it to the end split the pot. So going public with a conflict really increases the chances that you'll be killed off and won't get paid, regardless of whether or not you're mostly believed... no one will ever be 100% sure enough to leave you alive in the end.

As far as other seasons, why not go nuts with all the international English-speaking versions? The Australian and New Zealand ones are fine. I tend to binge a whole season in a few days, mos of the episodes I'm on my phone or folding laundry through the challenges and just waiting for the Round Table and executions.

Australia 1, New Zealand 2 and Canada 2 are my favorite non-US or UK seasons.

Australia 1 has an incredible cast and episode 9 is an all-timer.

New Zealand 2 may be my favorite season overall. Outstanding gameplay (save for a few idiot faithful that we see every season), interesting contestants, and some decisions we have never seen in any other version. Beware that the first episode spoils the results of New Zealand 1.

Canada 2 has hilariously terrible gameplay. If you watch Survivor, it’s the equivalent of Survivor 46.

Of the others:

New Zealand 1 is good, but the cast is mostly D- and F-list celebrities and many of them know each other, so it feels like a parlor game.

Canada 1 is similar to Canada 2 but not as good. It was the first season to broadcast discussion of the meta-game.

Australia 2 is unique because its second half is a total sh!tshow but the ending is satisfying, so don’t give up if you get frustrated, and you will.
 
Finished up The Sticky on Prime. Good watch. Dark humor, kind Fargo-ish. Margo Martindale was great as usual and Jamie Lee Curtis killed it in a limited role.

Canada 1 is similar to Canada 2 but not as good. It was the first season to broadcast discussion of the meta-game.

Australia 2 is unique because its second half is a total sh!tshow but the ending is satisfying, so don’t give up if you get frustrated, and you will.

I watched Canada 1 and 2, thanks to you. I actually liked 1 almost as much as 2. I still have not watched your fave, NZ 2.

US 3 is shaping up to be outstanding right now.
 
We're diving into True Detective. The one with Harrelson/McConaughey is a satisfying slow burn so far.
It's phenomenal. Up there with The Wire season 4 for best seasons of a show all-time.

The subsequent seasons do fall off significantly.
Alexandra Daddario alone makes it worth it
Her appearance made my wife and me both uncomfortable - in different ways. :oldunsure:
Oh, just wait...

Mr. Murphy, would you like to write the answer on the board?
Nah, that's all right. I'll take the zero
 
Traitors watchers:

Just binged the uk seasons on a few flights for work. Love it. I assume the UK seasons are the best? Can’t imagine the others being better given how this show is so built for UK sensibilities.

Which country should I go to next? Hesitate to go with US as it has reality stars but am in your hands.

Lastly, the “seer” twist ruined the game. They should light that on fire.

Cheers and thanks for any suggestions.
Australia 1, New Zealand 2 and Canada 2 are my favorite non-US or UK seasons.

Australia 1 has an incredible cast and episode 9 is an all-timer.

New Zealand 2 may be my favorite season overall. Outstanding gameplay (save for a few idiot faithful that we see every season), interesting contestants, and some decisions we have never seen in any other version. Beware that the first episode spoils the results of New Zealand 1.

Canada 2 has hilariously terrible gameplay. If you watch Survivor, it’s the equivalent of Survivor 46.

I guess I need to check this show out. I’m thought it was a reality all star type thing so have avoided it.

Only US 2 and 3 are like that. US 1, both Canadas and Australia 2 are half reality TV people and half normals.
