It's a bit of a chore. I think it's solid, but having watched The Wire and Treme, a lot of the plotlines seem familiar.

I don't want to spoil anything so don't want to assume who you're talking about. Can you tell us? I don't recall there being a lot of sex stuff.

Anyone into Frontier, the Aquaman as vigilante fur trader in the new world period piece? It's entertaining enough; not nearly as captivating as Vikings, in terms of period pieces, but it wastes time appropriately.

I read the book(s) so know what to expect in general. But in the series, is the stuff with Kelly Lynch prominent throughout? Also, my wife did not care for one of the videos Hodges watched that showed line drawings of a guy pleasuring his gigantic member. Not trying to be a prude, but I just know that she'll be done if there's much more of that and I'd rather not invest in a show we're not going to stick with.

I only recall the stuff between the kid and mom to be minimal and mostly near the beginning.

I started watching the Mo Amer standup for no good reason, and nearly coughed up a lung laughing. His bells palsy bit was off the charts funny.

Robin Williams was brilliant. But I think he invented the notion that energy equals funny. It does not.

So.....anyone watch Terrace House?
(Edit: Important for anyone who reads the rest and wants to check it out--the first season they put on Netflix with subtitles is Boys and Girls in the City. It takes place in Tokyo.)
It's kinda specific and weird. I think the only reason we got into it was because guys on a podcast we listen to kept talking about how good and interesting it was, but it's getting pretty popular now I think. It's probably not for everyone. For reference we don't watch much American reality TV at all--just Survivor, and this isn't like that at all. I gather that it's a little more like Big Brother or The Bachelor except not like those hardly at all either.
But it's so entertaining/addicting, and also pure kinda clean fun in a way that American reality TV isn't. And an interesting look into another culture's young people. Extremely different from American people. Six people in Japan live together in a huge house. While living together in the house, the 3 men and 3 women keep going to work and living their lives, etc. which is totally different from the sequestered nature of American reality shows. There's a panel of "commentators" who break down the action a few times per episode which is a funny twist on the format. I assume they must be famous on some level in Japan or something. Obviously some hot Japanese women for those looking for that (not that any people like that inhabit THIS board ?)

Fwiw, the Japanese panel/greek-chorus happens on a lot their shows, from what I'm told. our family was on a japanese travel show that did a segment on Halloween in NYC- Japanese friends got us the dvd of the show and translated it for us. sure enough, a panel was there with various types (from cute starlet to bizarre costumed clown) discussing and guessing like as a game show type thing, about what kinds of things might happen next.

I watched ep2 with the wife and bailed. The Brits like their sappy sordid sexcapades.

I've started Mr. Sunshine. I think I like it, but I'm not a fan of the extremely long, lingering shots of nothing really happening they often use. Is that a general Korean t.v./movie stylistic thing or is it specific to this show? I like the way they keep introducing characters and their back stories as they go along.

I'm only three episodes in, and I'm laughing so hard my stomach hurts. Norm is hilarious.

If you go back and watch a lot of the 70's & 80's comedies, they don't hold up. Many of them have a slow pace compared to modern stuff and what we've become accustomed to in the current fast paced environment

Wife kept watching so I caught tail end of ep3- interesting enough to give it another shot.

You missed a lot of plot development the last episode and a half. You should catchup.

Something you probably wouldn't binge watch, but certainly try to catch an episode or two every week.

my god the first 5 minutes of s2. This season was just as good as the first.Just started American Vandal season 2
I'm not sure what it says about my maturity level, but I can't help but giggle every time the term "turd burgular" is uttered.
Apparently Netflix dropped the show.

That's right, come over to the melodramatic side. Next you and I will be discussing the upcoming Lifetime movies.El Floppo said:

Thought "The Degenerates" would be up my alley, since I'm garbage and all, but not feeling it so far.

jfc... 5 or 6 into this... I need to be taking notes, because some of the lines are just brilliant (usually by hormone monster). w/ floppinho going through "changes" I'd love to show him this... but also no way in hell am I showing this- at least until he's in his 30s.
