This movie is the wildest, thought provoking time travel movie I've ever had the opportunity to watch (twice in the last week for clarity):
"Predestination" an Ethan Hawke thriller where he is a temporal agent sent back in time to try to prevent huge crime disasters.

I had never heard of it but it is brilliant. I stumbled across it on another site about the best time travel movies. There is a good 720 stream on Cinema.

There are twists galore and there comes a time when you're asking yourself, "Wait, what? OMFG!"

You do have to really pay attention from beginning to end.

I call this movie "Primer Lite"

If you liked it that much, give Primer a shot if you haven't seen it yet. Go in completely cold and enjoy the ride. Just know the rule is once you start, no rewinding... finish it through the first time you see it and resist the urge until it's over. You can decide after what to rewatch.
 
The new Beavis movie on Hulu was better than I expected it to be. Disclaimer: I watched it with college friends and we're pre-programmed to like it.

Ep 4 of The Rehearsal. Wow

I watched but really didn't pay much attention to it. Is this the one where he asked actors to mimic a rando? If so, it seemed pretty boring. Why the wow?

The interaction with his now teenage son.

Gotcha, thanks. Admittedly wasn't paying much attention and assume him being away from work for awhile cause the son to "age" so much. It is just hard for me to care for any of the "fake" characters.

Just finished The Bear.

Loved this show. Great ending which is so hard to do, although it didn’t really make sense, still loved it.

Don’t know if I need a season 2 but will definitely watch.

I completely understand this show isn't for everyone, but I thought it was one of the best shows I've experienced in a while. Being a Chicago homer made me love it even more. They did a great job making the city a character. Beautiful cinematography. Great characters. The guy who played Richie was really good. He made me hate that guy so much. Loved that Richie created tension, stirred the pot, and when it all boiled over, he became the calm one navigating the chaos with ease while everyone else fell apart. I thought his best moment was the phone call with his daughter. Great acting there.

The anxiety build in this was incredible. Loved episode 7 when they played the entire live version of Wilco's "Spiders (Kidsmoke)" for the last 10 minutes of the show; pure chaos in the kitchen with Nels Cline's stabbing guitar solo in the background. My stomach churning the entire time feeling the white knuckled ride, just brilliant.

I mentioned it before, but the vibe of this show really reminded me of the Safdie Bros "Uncut Gems", which I also loved. Just layer upon layer of dark anxiety and tension.

I agree about the ending. That's how a series should end, with an actual conclusion. Too many times I've invested 8-9 hours in series that ends with no resolution only to find out it gets cancelled. I'd keep watching this if they continue it, but felt satisfied they completed the arc of the story.

Saw this take on Twitter. Pretty funny.

Yep to all this. That episode you mentioned was so good, the whole thing just flew by.

I hope they they don't try and too much in a next season to improve on what they did here...make it bigger. Will be hard to capture the same spirit they had in this one.

I didn't realize that I was watching the finale and it slowly dawned on me that this was it, like 3 minutes before the end of the show. Then the very last moments were just perfect.

Great music as you mentioned throughout the series as well.

Regarding the ending:

There was a shot near the end of the final episode showing an unopened tomato can that had rolled under one of the racks. I assume this is setting up the season 2 conflict. Carmy will turn the restaurant over to the uncle in payment of the debt, and will use the cash to open his new restaurant. Uncle will find the can and confront Carm.

Also - inspired by Bear, I went to a local Italian deli yesterday that is well-known for its Italian beef for a late lunch. Got it wet/hot. Fantastic idea. Had to take a long afternoon nap, Felt like I needed a shower. Ended up skipping dinner entirely due to the massive gut-bomb. Worth it.

Wait, what other way is there to get an Italian beef sandwich? Our Chicago shacks here just default to hot and wet.

At the place I was at you can chose hot or sweet/mild for the peppers and dry, wet or dipped (soaked) for the jus.
 
I finished Black Bird last night and really liked it. I thought the plot got a little choppy in parts but the acting jobs by Taron Egerton (Kingsman: The Secret Service is one of my guilty pleasures) and especially Paul Walter Hauser were just fantastic, as others have already mentioned. I saw the "Based on a true story" blurbs at the beginning of every episode, but it wasn't really until the very end of EP6 where they showed the real life stuff it was based on where it really hit home for me. It's only six hourlong episodes too so it's a quick watch. Highly recommend.
 
The Old Man (FX Program Streaming on Hulu)

I know this has been out for a bit but I'm just getting into it. 2 Episodes in and really enjoying it. If anyone that has watched it all the way through, can you at least tell me that it will stay fairly decent all the way through.
I'm not typically a fan of Lithgow but I've liked him a lot so far.

It doesn't finish as strong as it starts, but I still thought it was very good.

I guess "fairly decent" is a good way to describe it. I loved the first half of the season but didn't care much for the second half. Worth sticking with though, imo.

Another "fairly decent" vote. I loved Lithgow and Bridges and thought they did an excellent job with the casting of their "early selves". It's a slow burn but better than most TV out there right now for sure.
 
Land of the Dead (Hulu): Romero zombie movie. Decent cast, with John Leguizamo and Dennis Hopper... but this was a pile of crap. It tried to take itself too seriously most of the time, but the plot was too emphasized and also silly... the zombies didn't look good, the deaths were ridiculous in a Z Nation sort of way... there was the kernel of something interesting in the zombies learning and communicating, but meh. Don't bother.

The new episodes are better than expected, too - and it's on Paramount Plus, not Hulu.
 
“I'm gonna take this right foot, and I'm gonna whop you on that side of your face.
And you wanna know something?
There's not a damn thing you're gonna be able to do about it.”

Great lines from 1971.

I just received my 4 pack DVD set of Billy Jack. I'm so excited! Never seen 3 or 4. Loved Born Losers and Billy Jack.

I'll be Billy Jacking tonite.
 
I actually still liked For all Man Kind even though season 3 was not as strong. The high points are still really good. Very disappointed by some of the characters lost but was a big fan of the closing reveal.
 
Lots of good suggestions in this thread. I'll throw out a couple of older ones. The shield and Sons of Anarchy. Michael Chiklis and Walter Goggins were really good in The Shield. Sons of Anarchy was pretty good too. It started pretty good slowed down in the middle but picks up again in near the end. I think SOA and The shield had the same produce because a lot of actors appear in both series. I also like Snowfall on Hulu. Looking forward to the the next season.

anyone watching Sandman on Netflix?

It takes a little bit to get interesting but really picks up around ep. 5.

3 Episodes in and love it, such great storytelling and very faithful to Gaiman's comic.

I never read the comic or even knew it existed. It took me a while to understand the mythology. Episodes 5 and 6 are really, really good stories. Ep 6 especially - I just wish that story was better integrated into the rest of the show.
 
Just finished Season 2 of Succession. I feel like there have been some slow parts, and lots of talking that almost lost me a few times. But Wow, that was one of the best season finales I can recall.
 
Uncharted (Netflix) was a mediocre mix of National Treasure and the Fast and Furious. I don’t regret watching but I enjoy bad action movies.

Joe Pickett (Paramount+) was enjoyable; sort of a Yellowstone-ish crime drama. The lead actor is great.
