Watching Dracula now. The first episode was pretty great. The tone and look are in line with old school dracula but with a modern spin.
Digging it.

Holidays are over, so it's time to watch other stuff...something about January brings me to true crime docs. Confession Killer was very well done...incredibly frustrating depiction of shoddy police work and corruption.

Through 2 1/2 of the 3 episodes of Dracula. Each one is 90 minutes I think. Loving it.

It is decent. Watch it on the treadmill. More just filler thann dying to watch the next episode type show.
It gets a little bit better as series goes along but you are not missing anything.

Going to do some Nov/Dec review here...some I’ve already hit on...
The Irishman - watched this 3 times. Gets better with each viewing. For a 3.5 hour movie, never felt bored and appreciated the pacing
Mrs. Maisel - 3rd season was the weakest of the three seasons. Still very strong, but certain plot devices felt forced to keep certain characters involved/relevant.
Marriage Story - said this before but exceptional. Next level filmmaking.
Mandalorian - Good. Not really all that compelling.
Dolemite - Awesome. Best thing Eddie Murphy has ever done.
Tell Me Who I Am - one of the most devastating documentaries I’ve ever seen. You need to prepare yourself prior to watching.
Dracula - first episode was phenomenal. I’m not a Dracula fan either...

Maybe it's my old age- I dont get the comment of having it in the background. I had trouble following all the different planets and factions at the start of the show, and took me a hot minute to piece how they fit together.

Did not love the last half hour of the series.
But still would recommend overall.

Just starting Peaky Blinders as well, but seeing the words "Hardy" and "marbles in his mouth" immediately made me think of him in The Take -- one of the most chilling and incredible performances I've seen Hardy in to date.
I believe it may still be available on Prime.
I don't get the love for The Irishman. I think the story was simply a slightly different retelling of Casino, and the CGI made it completely unwatchable for me. I mean, I applaud making DeNiro look young but when that character is walking around with the stiffened, arthritic gait and mannerisms of a 76 year old, why even bother erasing wrinkles and liver spots?

The take looks solid, gonna start it today.The Irishman's story is based on Sheeran's own account of his life

Wrapped it up. Tailed off the last couple eps, but overall a funny, decent and easy enough watch...as long as you don't mind subtitles. Vale

This has been consistently good about 4-5 in. Interesting combo of fact/history and sci-fi. Learned about an actual amazing woman astronaut, Molly Cobb, who never actually got to space fly, but in reality did one amazing flying thing after another here on earth. Interesting character and arc in the show.
This isn't profound or upper elite tv, but its doing well with all aspects of the show. Genuinely recommend this so far- really enjoying it.

Wife and I finished it last night. The ending was anti-climatic, but a fun show. One thing that did bother me throughout, possibly irrationally, was how bite wounds were displayed. They didn’t look like bites at all

made it through the first 2 episodes last night. skipped the obvious/unnecessary parts.
what a weird, wild story. the internet is a terrifying place. at least the parts of it i thankfully haven't found yet.

My butthole puckers a little when I see American remakes of foreign movies coming out. I enjoyed the hell out of the movie, so I will encourage people with Hulu to check out Force Majeure . The remake will be popular since it has Will Farrell and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, but I can't think of more than 1 or 2 American remakes that are better than the originals.

At the very least its interesting to compare the originals vs American. I feel a movie club double feature brewing...

The wife and I also, just finished season 1 and really liked it. Hope the following seasons are just as good.

I never used subtitles - it was difficult at first but after a while you pick up the "language".

Didn't see it mentioned, but I just blitzed the first season of Mrs. Fletcher (HBO) with Katherine Hahn. Always been a fan of hers, she's always been one of those "sneaky hot but never a leading lady" type characters. Enjoyed it mostly, it's not must-watch by any means. And yes she does get nekkid a few times.

If you watch three episodes of BoJack Horseman a day, starting right now, you'll be all caught up for the final episodes January 31!

Hard to explain without giving up too many spoilers. Basically a strange guy emerges in town and bad/crazy stuff follows him wherever he goes. Set in the same locations as many King stories with references to those storylines.
