I loved this show 3 episodes in, and then I lost interest. I'm fine with bad language, but when it's F bombs after F bombs in a single sentence, the programing loses it's appeal for me.

The Mayor of Kingstown (Paramount +)
I liked S1 from what I remember of it for the most part. It was dark and gritty. Well written and well acted, however the prison riot (I think it might have been the last episode of S1) was so ridicuslously over the top, it sort of ruined the entire season for me.
Season 2 started slow, then picked up. Very good season, with more good writing and acting, but then it seemed like they ran out of time, and had to wrap up the season with a 10 minute scene rather than give it an extra episode or two.
I know most people here that would watch it, already have, but if you haven't, if you like dark and gritty cop drams where the line between good guys and bad guys gets blurred and anything can happen, it's worth a watch.

Came here to post about this show. Great stuff. Nice 30 minute episodes that have some legitimate lol moments. Harrison Ford is pretty amazing in the show.
The season finale is this week so you guys have time to binge the earlier episodes.

I also liked black bird. The actor playing the serial killer is almost as good as the one from mindhunter.
Don't forget he is Stingray in Cobra Kai....

agreed on all of the above, great show.
Didn’t realize this was a Bill Lawrence show plus Roy Kent. I am pretty much guaranteed to love it, never saw a Bill Lawrence show that I didn’t find hilarious

lasso just signed Zlatan, if they get this character half right then this will be the best season of any show ever

Like if they make Zlatan deathly afraid of cats, or he has really smelly breath or some other super funny thing. That will be hilarious.
I saw that Zach Braff even directed an episode. Lots of good people working on the show.

The old guy Harrison Ford has still got it. He is great in this. And I've been a fan of Jason Segel for awhile now. His movie Bad Teacher is a few fun hours.

Watching American Hustle for the third'ish time.
The opening scene when Christian Bale sets his comb over is such a spectacular scene.
If you're into such details; the costumes, sets, hair and makeup, along with the casting for this film are so great! I could watch Bale read the telephone book and be entertained.

I found "Forgetting Sara Marshall" on a channel the other night. Segel, Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, Paul Rudd, Russell Brand, Jonah Hill, Bill Hader.

I watch that movie every 1-2 years, and always pick up on things I'd missed before. The cast of characters in the opening scene, and which ones reappear later in critical scenes is great.

I absolutely love For All Mankind. There is one storyline that drives me nuts and makes me hate one character almost as much as Skylar White but everything else about the show is awesome. From the special effects, the score, the drama between characters we've seen grow over decades, the alternative history, the tension.. Great show.
I'm in middle of season 3.

2 movies:
Planet Terror (Roku): I had never seen this. This was half of Grindhouse, the Rodriguez/Tarentino 70s exploitation-style dual movies. This was Rodriguez's half. The cast was good, the acting was awful, but intentionally so, the gore was extreme (all gunshots caused explosions of blood, limbs exploding off, etc.) and intentionally over the top. I think this one comes down to your mood and how you feel about the homage aspect. At times, it's just another bad 70s zombie movie... if that's intentional, is it successful or bad? Both? Anyway, I was in the right mood and enjoyed it. It was stupid and excessive, but fun. I've seen enough of the movies it's mimicking to appreciate it, but if you haven't seen as many, it might not hit for you.
Solaris 72 (Prime/Freevee): This is considered a classic sci-fi movie that moved the genre forward by focusing more on the human aspect than technology. It's in Russian with subtitles. I made it about 40 minutes before bailing - nothing had happened, there had been two scenes that felt like 3 minutes each of just traffic... this is what I get when I go against my "movies from before Star Wars aren't worth it" rule. Maybe it gets great, but man that was a long 40 minutes.

Oh, and I watched Prometheus (Hulu) again. The first time I saw it, I thought it was well made but frustratingly confusing. Each time I watch it, I like it more and more. I think it's a genuinely good movie. Some great horror scenes in there, and it does make sense after some thought (and some help from the internet - I wasn't smart enough to catch everything).

Dumbest astronauts and scientists evah IMO. But I've watched it twice.

I'm on the record that this is a great movie. Definitely underappreciated.

Wrapping it up tonight. Feels like 2 episodes too long but a great ride.
We are through 6 episodes and it is really good.
The Man With No Name

Rabbit Hole (Paramount Plus) first show was pretty good. Had no idea what it was about before watching. A lot going on centered around Keifer Sutherland's character.

Agrred. Loved the early episodes, thought the middle of the seaon dipped a bit, but closed strong. The finale was super!

But a lot of that is just David, who had ulterior motives. Boyfriend is definitely an idiot/overconfident/overhopeful, though.Dumbest astronauts and scientists evah IMO. But I've watched it twice.
I'm sure I'm forgetting something, but what dumb things did the scientists do other than taking off the helmet and general David jackassery?

Top Gun Maverick was on Prime. good movie imo, probably better in the theaters. Billions is on as well been binging that one.

I remember liking it a lot, would definitely watch again.

Finished the season. Enjoyed it. Thought it was fun.
One thing I thought was kinda funny. There were car chases and no matter how urgent or intense, they always took the time to buckle up before pulling away from the curb.
I noticed this as well. If they do a second season I hope it is as good as the first.Finished the season. Enjoyed it. Thought it was fun.

REGGIE (Amazon Prime)
The new sports documentary featuring Reggie Jackson. Love him or hate him, this is a really well-done documentary.
I was never a fan of him as a player when he was with the Yankees. I always remember thinking of him as being a bad teammate. It's interesting to hear his side of some of Yankee clubhouse disruptions. I have developed a respect for him since he retired. He's very insightful and doesn't hold back speaking his truth.
Lots of good stories in this program regarding Charlie Finley, his A's teammates, Reggie's Dad, Hank Aaron, Billy Martin & Thurman Munson.
Highly recommend. And if you are a fan of baseball history, it's a must see. I loved it!

Man, I loved Reggie Jackson when I was growing up. I lost all respect for him however when I met him in 1997. At the time I was playing baseball in the Arizona Fall League, Mike Scioscia was my coach. Before a game one day he said he had a special guest that was there to speak with us. In comes Reggie Jackson.
The first thing he said to us was "I wasn't a good baseball player, I was a great baseball player." Of course we knew that but the arrogance just rubbed me the wrong way. Then he bragged about banging hotel maids on the road. It was just very bizarre.

Banging hotel maids was not covered in the documentary.
