I should have said comic book instead of superhero. Yeah, I'm generally not into superhero movies and shows but after reading into Punisher it did seem to be different enough to check out.

Ha!
We watched the first episode and it took a few weeks before giving it another one. The second episode was much better and I think I'm in too...for now.Bruce Dickinson

I enjoyed this a lot. Don't know how good or insightful it was, but it was fun hanging out with the characters. The jabs they took at poetic license typically taken in biopics drew some chuckles, too.

Agree with this. Wish they had another season already queued up. The pilot episode was a rush and a half.
Currently watching The Killing. about halfway through the series run. Very entertained so far.
Anyone else considering Altered Carbon, which comes out in a few days?
La Mante
Really enjoyed this one despite my dislike for subtitles as it takes my eyes away from the scene. Good story and well acted. The dudes wife is a sweety.
La Casa de Papel (Money Heist)
Another foreign language show that requires subtitles but I'm a sucker for heist movies. 3 episodes remaining and I'm really enjoying it. Blends the current action with flashbacks well to fill in the plan. Each robber has their own issues and I think they do a good job of showing who they are. the cat and mouse game between the negotiator and the Professor is intriguing. Not very realistic but what shows are any more.

My wife says to me last night (before we watched ep2), "Do you want to watch another episode of our show?" I responded, "I'm not ready to brand that one, 'our,' just quite yet and am only going to watch another episode because the coworker said it was good."Ha!
I think it has officially become "our" show now. At least for a while

We watched episode 1 last night on HBOgo. Sharon Stone if frigging terrifying. I don't really get the "alternate viewing experienes." Did you do anything with those?

Glad someone else finally checked out La Mante. Was wondering if they'd enjoy as well and glad you did.La Mante

La Casa de Papel is on my list so I'll get to it soon. Just started Dexter and almost done with season 1 so it might be a little while.

So there's an app that has what appears to be new content you can watch and steer the story with your picks, but I haven't tried it.
Just a warning that the last episode was weak. Still glad I watched it all, though.

That's the reaction of most male viewers. Female viewers seem to "get it" and enjoy it much more.

I thought of that exact same dance when I watched it.
Tackling Dummies

RT has BB at 95 and Godless at 88. Their kids go to the same private school. They go to the same restaurants. They live in the same neighborhood, a few blocks away from each other. Breaking Bad has a new Tesla, but Godless has a BMW 5 series model. Comping quality is not an insult to Breaking Bad.mr. furley said:

I enjoyed Godless and think it's deserving of praise. But the only similarity to Breaking Bad is that they are both on Netflix now.
Different genre, one season vs multiples, different era. I don't understand what you're trying to do here.
mr. furley
Footballguy
people i've talked to about Godless like to defend it by saying that i must not like slow/deliberate/character driven movies or stories. totally false.
Godless was just... not that good.
Jeff Daniels was good. the Law & Order guy was good. the rest of it was predictable shlock.
you could watch episode 1, the final episode and not have missed anything of note in between. the biggest development in the missing episodes would have been..... the guy learns to read? the bandits kill everyone they encounter?

The trailer made it much cooler than it actually turned out to be.I though Godless was worth watching, but not "must see."
We got to episode 6 last year and may or may not finish.

While I don't disagree with what you are going for here furley I would mention Michelle Dockery flashing the girls around episode 6 was well worth seeing IMHO.

fair point
i may or may not have watched that scene a couple times. "honey, rewind that, i think i missed an important plot point there.."

I both agree and disagree with this. I really enjoyed Godless but it's not BB level. I'll never watch Godless again but I'll probably fire up BB for the 4th time in a couple years.

Mentioned it before.. the original script was for a movie but never bought... So they made it a series and so yea.. MAJOR stretching.. Saying that, the stretch part of the horse taming had me memorized. It was perfect with just the taming and no talking at all.

reminds me of Ben Wheatley a bit. He's done some intense, weird films like Kill List, Free Fire, High Rise, and A Field in England. Kill List might be the best of the lot but he's interesting nonetheless. This make me think of him even if it's not him in the chair.

So I only had the time to watch 10 minutes of this last night, but I think it has the potential to be great.

i'm going to steer clear of hyperbole just yet but will say both episodes flew by

I got more of a "The Office" feel, and a heavy dose of Ricky Gervais on the artistic brother "group leader" - but I liked it a lot.
Franknbeans
Footballguy
yeah, I was probably referring more to the costumes a la the Holy Grail and the dry humor. The Office is a good comp, too. Just find it hilarious the juxtaposition of the somewhat introspective and sensitive diaolgue in the context of a group of Vikings.

Started Broadchurch season 3 last night - just a quality show, good writing, good acting.

Definitely. I was very impressed by the little I saw and am excited to watch more of Babylon Berlin.
