Yeah I need to work the Witcher in too, not positive my wife is going to like it though 

anyway we started Fleabag, got 3 episodes in.  It’s Ok.  Will keep going with it for now, but all the breaking the 4th wall gets kind of annoying 

also I think they’re harder to understand than the Peaky Blinders cast

 
Finished S2 of "Killing Eve" last night. It's still good but a step off from the first season. It's messier season in terms of plotting and not any better for it. Lots of choices made in the writers room don't feel earned. Jodie Cormer is still fantastic in this.

If you haven't seen it, I'd also recommend Happy Valley on Netflix.  The seasons are a short commitment (six episodes), so each episode gets right to business with no "stretch it to 12 episodes" fluff. 
Very good show. Sarah Lancashire is quite good. James Norton plays a character that's a hell of a lot different than the priest he played in Grantchester. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3428912/

 
Dracula was a good watch, horrible ending.

Got around to watching Penny Dreadful good show unbelievablely horrible ending.

Expanse great show, right up their BSG!

 
One of the most disturbing and sad stories I’ve ever seen. Riveting though. Not sure who was crazier. Him or the group tracking him. Definitely think they fed his lunacy.
Definitely the group tracking him.  Whenever you put animals rights in front of human rights something majorly wrong.  They both should be in jail for pushing them both over the edge and causing two deaths.  And to glamorize these two idiots really wrong.

 
Not sure if this is the right thread but The Lighthouse was really something. 
Agreed - one of the crazier movies I’ve seen in awhile.  Both actors (Pattinson & Dafoe) were tremendous.

Edited 6 hours ago by TheDirtyWord
Stellar performances by both, they truly gave it everything they had. And while both were great, Dafoe and that accent, with the dialog he was given, really stood out and was outstanding. And yet, no oscar nomination.

Do you have access to HBO?

 
not currently paying for it...i will purchase when curb is back on and need to catch up on silicon valley and id watch the watchmen......what else?
Those, dark materials was decent.

Ozark rec above is a good one.

You guys ok with subtitles? Babylon Berlin and Dark are both good German shows with horrible dubbing (if you go that route)

I tried but it never clicked with me. 

Watched "The Laundromat" tonight. Terrific actors litter the film like Streep, Oldman, Banderas, Wright, and maybe a dozen other recognizable ones. Soderbergh directed and shot it too. All that said, it felt like a "60 Minutes" piece on money laundering, tax evasion, and corporate malfeasance. Meh.

You didn't like Babylon Berlin?...interesting. I gemuinely liked it, and we're usually sympatico on these things. Thought it was fantastically shot and styled (from art direction to sets and costumes) and moved the story along well through crisp writing and acting. One my favorites of the last few years.

I keep eyeing the laundromat, like the Irishman, and have next to no interest in spite of the cast and crew.

 
Just finished Dracula. As the same creative team did with Sherlock, they used a deep understanding of the origin story to play wildly with all its archetypes and make a memorable, though uneven, television event. Great performances all around, but the revelation was Claes Bang's vampire - the first truly Roman Dracula i've seen.

 
Anyone else watch the Hernandez show yet?  About half way through.
Finishing up Pt 2.  I don’t know if I just forgot, but the homosexual stuff was surprising to me, and his GF comes off really poorly in all of this. Even in the jail cell phone calls, she just seems to be egging him on and trying to anger him. Mom too.

Nothing tops defoe's vampire for me....
love that flick. love anything Murnau 

i have a "Dracula Goes to Washington" novel (he goes to cover for his brother, the only other OG, Tepes Family vampyre - who starts most of the conflicts in the Middle East to expand his feeding pool -  but ends up getting chased by DARPA) which i add a few chapters to each spring and this new Count Dracula is very close to my picture of my own protagonist.

 
Cool. I thought the recent season...4?...dragged a bit. Something about them being stuck in one spot made it less interesting. Still good, but not as expansive. 
IMHO the book behind Season 4 is the weakest of the books. But I think the series managed to improve on it. That's part of what makes me so excited for S5, because the book is phenomenal and frankly there is so much good stuff going on that they will have to simplify the story a bunch to fit it into 13 episodes. That said, the writers have been exceptionally good at doing that so far (Bobbie Draper (I still hate the casting) is used for that a lot through out the series and not least her story arc in S4), while still delivering a quality tv show and keeping the story true to the original. So, I'm stoked!

The revelation in Dracula was Sister Agatha. Great character.

Wife and I watch all 3 tonight.  It’s good but if you followed the story nothing new or surprising come out.  But it was cool to dive deeper into the whole story.  
I guess I didn't follow the story after the initial stuff that closely.  Agree that the rest of his family comes off very well.  At least the GF stuck with him.  Interesting series.

Also, the name of the funeral home...

My favorite is the goomba dad of his HS QB. He sounds like Prison Mike “hey you gettum a secret apartment you tink he’s jus paintin Bob Ross pictchures fugeddaboutit.”

What about Gary Oldman's giant butthead Drac?

She was tremendous. Gattis, as he did with Irene Adler, Mary Morstan & the Holmes' forgotten baby sister in Sherlock, writes women who do & understand things a man can't, and we can never have enough of those. Best von Helsing by a mile

 
Watched The Report on Amazon Prime, I enjoyed it.  Was about a Senate Staffer's investigation ( under D. Feinstein) of the CIA's post 9/11 detention and Interrogation program.
