Special Forces - Worlds Toughest Test (season 3)
Pretty good show. Military training to see who breaks physically (medical) or mentally (self withdraw) or just can't cut it (staff removal). Jump onto a helicopter, jump out of one, sit-ups in the ocean surf, boxing, identify enemy compound while driving under fire - please don't air strike the children, underwater retrieval, scaling walls, jumping off a bridge, gas gas gas, etc.

We get to know some intimate details about the contestants as they have confessionals when they are in control and interviews when they are stressed.
Actors/Actresses (Baldwin brother, Denise Richards), online personalities (Bruce Jenners son, Travis Kelce's girlfriend before the princess of pop), gold medalists (gymnastics, swimming, and PEDs track - stripped of medals and records), a motocross Champion (broke over 80 bones and married to Pink), pro surfer (witnessed best friend's shark attack at age 12), soccer player, and of course 2 football players (Cam Newton, Golden Tate). Among others.

Pretty amazing that the olympians and sports players don't seem to have more leadership or will than others with none of that type of upbringing.

Try to imagine 190lb Golden Tate 'casualty' carrying 250lb Cam Newton + both of their full backpacks.

Integrity: On physical fitness when not in the line-of sight of staff - did they do what they were supposed to? Punished the test passers - buried in the ground by those that chose to take shortcuts. Letting down the team can/will cost lives.

Emotional drain after a grueling day hiking uphill: Hit home for the last handful that not everyone gets to tap out - real world not everyone gets to go home. They had to write their 'death letter' saying whatever they needed to say as final words to their Mother, Father, Husband, Wife, Son, Daughter.

In it for the tests and see if any can hack it for just a few days as a military elite.

A family member is a Ranger and on the way to Delta. This doesn't really sound like their training.

Well, it's a TV game show. A demanding one in multiple ways but, still...

Five episodes of Landman was as much as I could take. I'm out.

I think we ended up finishing the season, but I will say I found what they did with the teenage daughter a little creepy. Constantly sexualizing a 17-year-old and having her walk around in skimpy clothes and showing her nude once. I'm no prude but it was weird.

Well, she is actually 27 and never goes to school so is she really a teenager?

The first episode of Paradise on Hulu just hooked me good.

Just watched it, I’ll give episode 2 a shot but this feels like something that wasn’t good enough to make network TV so they dumped it on Hulu

I watched a three-part documentary on Peacock called "Anatomy of Lies." It was about Elisabeth Finch, who was a writer and co-executive producer of Grey's Anatomy and basically lied about everything in her life. I vaguely remember when this was news in 2022, as she had lied about having cancer for years, but I had no idea of the extent of the emotional terrorism she perpetrated on everyone around her. Very disturbing person but well executed documentary.

{spoiler alert: Big Brother TV show isn't filmed at Quantico and doesn't involve actual 3 or 4 letter organizations}

This is just a TV show for only 10 days. Not like they are actually in the military or fit for a ruck march - these are 'past their prime' people.
Just a nibble of some training techniques that look good for TV. Not like they are on a military installation or carry weapons - just cherry-picked stress tests. S3 was filmed in Wales, UK (S1 Jordan desert, S2 NZ South Island) as a co-op between US SF and UK SAS advisors.

Like the original British series, Special Forces: World's Toughest Test pits contestants against harsh environments all around the world in a shortened training course that is designed to replicate a number of elements of the actual United States Special Forces selection course

The Directing Staff (DS) instructors are: Rudy Reyes, a former United States Recon Marine; Jason Fox, a former SBS operator; Mark 'Billy' Billingham, an ex-SAS Sergeant Major and Remi Adeleke, a veteran Navy SEAL Senior Chief. Adeleke did not return for Season 2, and was replaced by Jovon 'Q' Quarles, a veteran Navy SEAL

Indeed, very cool to act the part of one's own life story.

Was also a fitness instructor and taught martial arts - still has the physique in his mid-50's.
Easy to see which one he is on the TV show.

 

[fatness]

I've just started rewatching The Killing (the the original Swedish version Forbrydelsen) and damn is it good, one of the best series I've ever seen. Good acting all around, even better than the US version of The Killing.
On MHz Choice.

Season 1 has 20 episodes.
Season 2 has 10 episodes.
Season 3 has 10 episodes.

Just starting Season 2 now. Good lord does the suspense ratchet up in the last 3 episodes of Season 1. Excellent show.

 

[Yo Mama]

I’ve been enjoying Rogue Heroes on Amazon. The first season was really fun and the second season has been just as good. Cool music on it too. Fun overall vibe and they kill lots of Nazis.

I had a thought tonight that I should watch all the shows that I can't find on other platforms (that I have) and then get rid of hulu. it seemed like when I first joined there were some good stuff but now it seems like its nothing but trash.

One Hulu exclusive I recommend is Derek DelGaudio's In & of Itself. Reviews are mixed but I loved it.

 

[falguy]

Started On Call (Prime) last night. 30 minute episodes so quick to get through the 8 episode season. We watched 5 and I enjoyed it. The leads have good chemistry and I'm enjoying the way it's shot with the random POV camera work. Miles better than the new seasons of The Recruit and Night Agent. Produced by same guy who produces the FBI franchise and, I'm sure, many others.

Hulu has nothing I can find now so Max/HBO is next, then Showtime, then back to Apple, then Prime, etc. Months of shows lined up but I've run out of ideas on Hulu.

Based on suggestions in here, I started Mythic Quest. First four episodes were fine. It's kind of Grandma's Boy combined with Silicon Valley combined with overly silly satire. I'll comment about it later. However, while I was in a very bad mood last night (my seven year smashed our main TV and lied about it), I decided to watch an episode because it's light and ideally would calm me down. That was season one, episode five called Dark Quiet Death.

MQ episode Dark Quiet Death - 10/10.
A stand alone, completely different episode from the entire series, this was one of the top 5 best episodes of a TV show I've ever seen. I'm not being hyperbolic in saying that. In fact, it's probably the only romance story ever produced that rivals Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Jake Johnson and Cristin Miloti are superb (especially Miloti who I think is beginning this generation's best female TV star or TV star period). I think the episode significantly surpasses Black Mirror's San Junipero and that Last of Us episode 3 with Nick Offerman. And those episodes were great.

Dark Quiet Death spans over about 20 years and portrays the story of a quirky nerdy video game couple and their rise to gaming dominance and back. The episode has sub-themes such as corporate greed, personal greed, intellectual property disputes, etc. But at its heart it's really a romance story and it was so beautifully done I nearly cried at the end - which is saying something because the only movie or show to get me to ever do that is Field of Dreams (though I'm sure decompressing from the blinding rage I felt at my daughter may have actually factored in a bit).

Go watch this now if you haven't. Seriously. It's an entirely stand alone episode and but for a brief post-credits scene it has little to nothing to do with the "normal" episodes and characters so you don't have to have seen any of the previous episodes nor really know anything about Mythic Quest to watch. And, as I understand it, it's the only episode in the series to feature these characters.

As good as the first season of True Detective was (and it was great) the second season is awful. We tapped out after three episodes.

Moved on to Superman & Lois. Pretty teenage angsty but I'm interested so far.

Watched the 1st couple of episodes of a new Vietnam documentary , “Vietnam: The War That Changed America,” on Apple.
I watch a lot of military docs and really like this one. The narration, video, and interviews all work for me.

I watched this last Saturday, and I think it was really well done. The footage was good, and I especially liked the interviews and stories told by the Americans and Vietnamese that took part in the conflict.

Surviving Black Hawk Down

I was excited about this but it was a total letdown. It really told nothing new and has the gall to somehow paint those in the Aidid militia as "kinda having a point" and the Americans probably had it coming.

My Hulu sub ends at the end of the month and of course the last episodes of Paradise release in March so I'm curious if I should even bother.

I had a thought tonight that I should watch all the shows that I can't find on other platforms (that I have) and then get rid of hulu. it seemed like when I first joined there were some good stuff but now it seems like its nothing but trash.

That's what I'm doing. I've got a list of shows on each service to watch and when I have nothing left on one I cancel there and move on to the next. Hulu has nothing I can find now so Max/HBO is next, then Showtime, then back to Apple, then Prime, etc. Months of shows lined up but I've run out of ideas on Hulu.

Shows from my top 70 on Hulu in case you want to check any out:
03 Letterkenny
05 Fargo
09 30 Rock
13 Archer
18 Reservation Dogs
19 Lost
20 Sherlock
21 Scrubs
22 Family Guy
32 Key and Peele
40 The X Files
43 King of the Hill
47 Futurama
49 Cheers
50 It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
61 Shōgun
63 Frasier

Maybe more - I got tired of searching.

Spoilers down??

Wish they wouldn't have The Pitt (serious and outstanding) and St Denis (The Office in a hospital setting) come out at the same time.

Is it bad that I get the 2 young guys from each show mixed up?

One has had to change his scrubs 3-4 times (squirting urine, shooting blood, etc) and currently wears lost & found high waters (high ankle height) bottoms - and that's the serious show guy.

I've never watched the office. lets hope it's not as bad as St Denis

 

[jamny]

Still enjoying St. Denis. I get a few good laughs during each episode. Nothing groundbreaking, very much patterned after the Office, but good enough.
I gave up on Dutch, with Dennis Leary, after a couple of episodes and bailed on S2 of Bookie after a decent first season.

5 eps in to Prime Target on apple.

this isn't the tippy top tv you're looking for. kinda silly, tbh. MATHS!

have to decide if we're going to ride it out or not.

As good as the first season of True Detective was (and it was great) the second season is awful. We tapped out after three episodes.

Moved on to Superman & Lois. Pretty teenage angsty but I'm interested so far.

It was so bad. Vince Vaughn was laughably bad.

I'm exactly there myself. It's oddly kept my attention.

So I watched Waco: The Aftermath and Waco. I actually watched Aftermath first since it came up on my feed and I didn't realize that it was a sequel/prequel. I remember this but I was only 8 at the time so it was interesting to learn more about it. After the show(s) I did read the wikipedia page and events are mostly the same as portrayed in the shows. Michael Shannon, Giovanni Ribisi and Taylor Kitsch all did a good job I felt. It did feel a little slanted but the 2 books it was based on probably had this same sentiment. Solid 7/10 for me.
