Anyone watching Citadel? 1st episode wasn't good

I've been waiting for people in here to discuss it as the online reviews were not kind.

I just watched Treason on Netflix - 5 episode series - wasn't too bad for a typical spy thriller type show, and pretty easy watching.

Just finished the Diplomat on Netflix.. First two episodes didn't really grab me.. But that all changed with episode 3.. Many, many great moments and Loved the interaction with the President.

Now to wait for season 2 to see who all won't be returning thanks to the ending.

 

[Gally]

Re-watching Justified, such a good series.

We're watching it for the first time and almost finished with Season 1. It's not bad and will continue but I hope it improves.

What service are you watching it on?

Wife and I are enjoying this so far; about halfway through. The Kamala Harris PR team probably isn’t a huge fan though.

Is The Diplomat supposed to be a comedy? I have no idea what the show is trying to be.

Finally watching the new season of Mandalorian. Saw some comments on it especially the episode with Jack Black. I guess I'm in the minority but I thought it was a really good episode. I'm really enjoying this season and the story it's putting together.

I enjoyed the season a lot, but thought the Black episode was super dumb (and I generally really like Jack Black).

Finished Florida Man this weekend. I was entertained.
That is all.

Want to continue to prop up Lucky Hank.
Episode 6. The scene when the mom tries to arbitrate between the daughter and son in law is great. I watched it, then rewound it and watched it again.
The scene where he finally meets with his father. It was somewhat predictable, but Odenkirk's acting response to what was unfolding was nothing short of spectacular.
The relationship with his co-workers is so ridiculously realistic.

Bravo! Great show! Great writing! Can't recommend it enough.

Yeah this show is pretty good, although I haven’t been giving it my full attention when I watch

I'm almost done with episode 5 and I'm still in the stage of what am I watching here? Not sure how I feel about it, but it does keep my attention.

Man, Lucky Hank is good, but the back half of the season turns pretty dark and awful melancholy. I think the show is starting to depress me, even though I objectively think it's good.

I'm through three episodes. It's pretty decent, mindless fun.

 

[On The Rocks]

We're watching it for the first time and almost finished with Season 1. It's not bad and will continue but I hope it improves.

Not sure what you're looking for but it's 5 more seasons of what you are getting now with one, big over arching plot per season and some new players interspersed as you go along with the regulars. If you're not into season 1, probably no reason to continue on.

I disagree I thought S1 gets pretty slow in the middle with some 1 off type episodes. I feel like S2 is where the full season plots really come into play

I’d keep going

Overall I really enjoyed Justified. Dewey Crowe is an all time favorite character. I don't remember what season it was, maybe 2 or 3, it started off and I couldn't figure out if the series was trying to be equal parts drama and comedy because it was just throwing in some odd bits of humor that just didn't fit what I had seen up to that point, but it eventually balanced itself out and glad I watched all the way through.

I started down the road when Justified first came out then got sidetracked around season 4. I'm on season 5 now and am really dreading when I run out of shows soon. Love me some Raylan Givens and the constant ****storm revolving around him.

American Manhunt: The Boston Marathon Bombing - Netflix
Really solid documentary. I remembered a lot of the story but had forgotten some details. I had no idea the gun fight that had taken place in Watertown MA was so intense, and I didn't realize it was so soon after the murder of the MIT police officer. Also don't think I knew "black hat" had been run over by his own brother. I remember the story of the young man in the Mercedes being car carjacked and kidnapped but the details he shared and hearing him tell the events was great storytelling. Lots of other good details presented on how local police and the feds differed on releasing the bombers photos.

The production of this program was similar to the recent Waco documentary.
It held my attention for all three episodes. I don't think I moved from my seat once the entire time.

I'll definitely watch this. The Walhberg movie was pretty on point with the events for the most part, will be interesting to see the actual documentary

My wife and I both really enjoyed it - thought it was fairly well done.

Glad you enjoyed it. I thought the writing was weak and it was way more Boba Fett than Andor. Which is fine. They have to try and appeal to a wide cross section of the population with these shows, and kids especially. I just didn't really care about any of it. But it is Star Wars, so i watch it no matter what.

Good Night Oppy on Prime was damn brilliant. Such a well made doc.

 

[Anarchy99]

Anyone else ever watch The Last Ship? It was originally on TNT from 2014-2018, now available on Hulu and HBO Max. Essentially an end of the world pandemic show before the actual real life pandemic. Focuses on a Naval ship trying to develop a vaccine with a ton of action. Even my wife enjoys it and will watch multiple episodes in a row. I had never heard of it, but it’s really entertaining.

Normal. People get the red flu. They just get sick and die. They don’t turn into something undead.

Silo on Apple TV is an adaptation of the book Wool which is a very well regarded (by FBGs anyway) first book of the silo sci fi book trilogy. Premieres today!

The dueling diarrhea episode of Somebody Somewhere was pretty fantastic. That last scene had me rolling on the floor.

No prob. The comment wasn't a rebuke. I think most of us can relate. It was more of a PSA for those who might want to see it.

I discovered Mr Robot this week.

I can't believe I never heard of this show before 2 weeks ago. The first 2 seasons were fantastic. It dragged a bit at times in seasons 3 and 4. I just finished s4e9 and feel like the last 4 (silent episode, Vera episode, Dom's revenge episode, and the hacking of Deus Group episode) rank up there with any 4 episode stretch of any tv show I have ever seen. If the series ended right now I would be satisfied, I can't believe there are still 4 to go.

There have been some outstanding individual performances from the supporting cast (especially Vera and Price) and Remi has probably put up a dozen episodes worthy of an Emmy. The soundtrack/mixing, cinematography/editing, and techie hacking **** have all been A+ too.

I am sure recency bias is in full effect but assuming they stick the landing over the last 4 episodes Mr Robot is going to end up as one of my favorite series.

It's one of my favorite shows of all time. Up there with breaking bad, game of thrones, and Ozark on my mount Rushmore.

This explains it. After telling my wife last night that "this guy from the internet whose opinion I trust" recommended this doc, we spent literally like 10 minutes on Netflix looking for it and she wanted to kill me when we couldn't find it and I wanted to re-scroll through all of the documentaries on the service. I didn't remember the exact title so I couldn't do a name search for it (and, I had had a couple of glasses of wine, so I as irrationally insisting I'd know the doc when I saw it scrolling).

Will now check Prime!

Silo on Apple+ getting good reviews...any FBG hot takes on this?

Silo on Apple+ getting good reviews...any FBG hot takes on this?

Really liked the first two episodes.

I read the book series a few years back (FBG recommended) but didn’t remember too much going into the episodes.

They did an awesome job visually to help me remember the story. Basically, it looked very much like how I saw it in my head when I first read it.

 

[DaVinci]

SWAT got canceled. It wasn’t great, but it was enjoyable enough. Apparently, it was co-owned by CBS and Sony, and neither one wanted to share anymore. They only want solely owned properties for streaming.

Beef was interesting. Will probably keep me from acting on my road-rage impulses for a little while at least.

First episode is pretty faithful to the book though I do have some gripes about how they established life in the silo. Not quite as claustrophobic as I envisioned and moving to other areas is the silo seems a bit too easy. But so far so good.

we're 6 torturous episodes in and i'm going to fork my internal organs out if this continues. only keep going because if my wife starts a show she will watch the entire series even if it's 14 seasons and she hates every bleeding second of it.

we won't watch anything else together until this is over. she'll watch other shows solo, but if we sit down together for a show, it will be Beef until it's over.

i'm not going to make it. might throw the Roku in an incinerator so i don't have to watch any more.


sorry, @The Gator

Netflix is removing Bordertown from their lineup on May 9, so if you want to watch a good Nordic noir series now's the time. The main characters, especially the 3 family members, are extremely well-written and -acted. For me the ending was just gut-wrenching, but there's a heck of a good, creepy story along the way. Set in Finland, near the Russian border. 3 seasons, 31 hour-long episodes total. The main character, police detective Kari Sorjonen, is one you'll remember.

I hope someone caught this before it's gone. We just finished watching it after watching it a couple years earlier and unlike many series it was better this time around.

Nordic noir is usually a police drama set in a bleak, cold northern setting with a lead detective who for [reasons] neglects his/her personal/family life due to over-dedication to solving bleak, cold, northern sick crimes. In this one the lead detective is a high-functioning autistic guy who has managed to hang on to his extremely intelligent wife and extremely intelligent daughter throughout his career. They know how he is, they've incorporated that into the way the family functions and dysfunctions.

All 3 seasons are multiple sets of 2- or 3-episode murder mysteries, a lot of them kind of sick. But there is a recurring villain throughout the 3 seasons, and almost all of the mysteries along the way are engrossing. The lead actors/actresses don't change from season to season so you get a thoroughly good look at how the detective's family functions as a unit and as individuals. Since probably nobody here will watch it, the detective's wife dies at the beginning of season 3, and his ability and that of his daughter to function after her death is a main focus of season 3.

It's gripping, especially the end where he doubts his ability to protect his daughter without his dead wife's help. Very well-acted. I'll watch it again in 2-3 years when I've forgotten it enough.

Man, Lucky Hank is good, but the back half of the season turns pretty dark and awful melancholy. I think the show is starting to depress me, even though I objectively think it's good.

Watched the finale. The series had ups an downs but overall there was so much I liked about it. And I thought the ending was satisfying.

 

[On The Rocks]

Finally had a chance to watch The Diplomat. The trailer made me think it might be kind of a RomCom Dramedy. Whatever that is, I'm not entirely sure. Glad I watched it. It was decidedly less comedy than I expected. I did like it. I liked the casting too! Good season ending cliff hanger but not so great, I'm sitting on the edge of my seat to see next season, although I will certainly watch.
