Any idea if it's a continuation of Gomorra, another Italian show from a movie about Naples mafia (iirc the last season spends time in Rome)?

I don't believe so. I still want to watch Gomorrah.
There was a movie Suburra that came out before the series, I believe.
Nice. That and Dark will help with the nothing new problem. I enjoyed the first season. I think they did a good job and not making it exactly like the movie so they could turn it into a show.

Just started watching Space Force. Had huge expectations (I'm a big fan of The Office and pretty much the entire cast of this thing) but the reviews obviously tempered that.
Can't say I laughed once the entire first episode. 2nd episode wasn't much better until the scene with the chimp (which did give me a few chuckles)
I'll keep going with it, but its pretty disappointing so far. RIP Fred Willard.

Finished the who season. Went in with high expectations, having not read any reviews. Obviously disappointed. It definitely had a few moments, but was not consistently funny.
I feel trying to put a season into 10 episodes just doesn't work for a comedy like this. A long season offers the opportunity to develop the secondary characters, so they are not just one dimensional, and can have more than one joke written for them. I think that it what was hurt here. They didn't have one character to anchor the show on to start out (like Michael in the early stages of the office), but with only ten episodes to tell an ark, the other characters didn't get flushed out and could not be consitently funny.

Started this last night. WOW. Most of the jokes and comments would not be allowed today. Although I love the game footage used is actually of USFL teams.
Some of the actors though: Delta Burke, Tony Longo, Tiny Liston

Currently watching 2 shows
Bordertown - pretty sure gb El Floppo recommended this one, but I could be misremembering. Either way, really like this one quite a bit so far. Finnish crime drama.
Rake - Australian show about a lawyer. A coke snorting, gambling addicted, prostitute soliciting, brilliant lawyer that is. Really like it a lot as well. The lead actor really nails it which makes the show great. Think they tried an American version with Greg Kinnear which failed miserably.

I liked this one...not perfect, but no bag needed imo.Wife and I are watching Colony on Netflix. C level at best USA network alien thriller. LOVE IT.

The series starts on Sunday. It seems like the premise is loyal to Gardner's source material regarding time period, and atmosphere.

Started watching Dark on Netflix. I really like it. It has a sci-fi/horror feel to it. Only issue is it’s set in Germany and they dub the English over the actors talking. Doesn’t bother me though. I am still on season one but it looks like they are releasing season three soon.

Great show...Decent amount of discussion in this thread. Most Prefer the subtitles over the dubbing (not me).

Finished season 1 last nite (not sure why it took me so long to get back to it). It’s great!
Glad to hear season 2 rips too, starting tonight.

it's not bad. it just isn't that good... especially given the people involved. every episode feels like they held back from going for it... and feels like it tries too hard to make carrel's character a "good guy" (which goes for the overall tone of the show too) instead of just letting a funny idea completely loose and making it as absurd as it should be. this would work better without any attempts at heart-warming plot or writing. feel like the chimp ep was as close as it got.jamny said:
turns out a gb from college is one of the exec producers and writers for this... he's had a amazing run prior, so hopefully this doesn't dim his future prospects.

good description. Once you realize what it should have been, it’s still not bad, but not great

we're watching Alone on Amazon Prime.
kind of interesting for some reason.

check the thread for it. I just started it too... binged the hell out of S6 and am now watching it on the History channel.
"for some reason"?... maybe because it's amazing watching people survive in the wild? appeals to a lot of what I like about post-apoc shows/movies.. except it's a reality show of the utmost- no producers or directors telling the people what to do or say (aside from how the show edits things)... just man/woman against the wild and themselves.

Started watching The Order on Netflix the other day. Already up to episode 8. It's a little cheesy but the episodes have kept my attention and trying to figure out what will happen next. About a guy that goes off to college and joins a secret society to "avenge" his moms death. Good looking cast, some funny moments, some suspenseful moments, overall the 45-50 minute episodes go by fast.

2nd season came out last Thursday, haven’t finished new season yet but pretty good so far 4 eps in.
Love that they worked into the story the hot blonde telling the main guy she hated his bleach blonde hair in season 2
The actor was filming a movie around the same time where he had to bleach his hair for the part and it’s terribly jarring and looks awful. They also worked into the story early on a good reason why the character dyed his hair as well to explain it away.

Just finished Season 4 of F is for Family on Netflix. Really enjoyed this season. Has some typical cartoon silliness, but at it's core is a very raw/real family drama with enough comedy to keep it from going over the top. Bill Burr is aces.

Finished it over the weekend. Got to the end and thought "thats it?". I'm not sure "its not bad". But you are right, it isnt that good either. So much wasted talent. I hate when shows deliberately make people around the main characters into forced drama or, not sure how to explain it. But the media manager and the 1 star general who was the receptionist, neither needed to be as blatantly bad as they were. They could have done what they were intended for with more humor or depth, instead they were just there to get in the way.

Watch it with subtitles and German dialog. That's how I did it.skillz said:

Needing another "mindless" escape, I've rediscovered Pawn Stars. It's on all the time and there are sooo many seasons, I bet it can take up a good 1-2 hours every so often quite easily.
Can't believe how much weight Rick's son and Chumlee lost over the past few years.
It still entertains me. I need entertainment, especially with absolutely nothing sports-wise to distract me right now.

My wife really wanted try this, and I enjoyed criticizing the entire first episode, which ruined it for her. LOL.
I feel like they pick the dumbest teams of all time to be on this, with each group worst than the last.
That's the Meth Diet for ya.
More along the lines of American Pickers, but similar to Pawn Stars is Slobby's World in Netflix. He deals in vintage jerseys and kicks from the 80s and 90s.
Right, but that’s half the fun. I love how they slow mo the faces hitting the hard surfaces. Some of the people are absolutely awful. Hey, rather than help the lady teacher who got my scaredy-cat ### across something, I’m going to go to the next thing. All he had to do was get her foot on the thing he was on and she could stand on both and not impede him. Multiple times people took the bridge across and then didn’t even bother to hold it so the next person could come over. A whole lot of stupid, but fun to watch them mess up. Also, do they let people drown or suck them out through the bottom? I’m sure it’s editing but I love how they go down and never seem to come up. That liquid appears to be hot from some of the reactions.

I think S2 is good but maybe a step down from S1. S3 kind of a bore, although I was probably on my phone half the time and not fully engaged

You hit on all the good stuff here.
1) Watching faces hit the hard surfaces is the best. So much fun to watch.
2) I couldn't BELIEVE that dude didn't grab her leg. After all she had done for him.
3) Where do they go???
On #2, amazing. He was useless and got to the end only because of her. You know she does everything for him at school too and he probably is as self centered as he is on the show. It’s fascinating how in a game setting you can get a handle on their real life persona.
