kept finding myself waffling between "this guy is a complete sociopath" to "he's making some good points"

It's excellent. I would have binged it straight through if it weren't on HBO. Also just finished up "The Investigation" another subbed show. It's not Beartown good but worth a watch.
Oh, wow, I didn't realize they made a series out of Beartown. Read the book a few years back and thought it was awesome.

This was fantastic. Absolutely fascinating.
Only 3 episodes but really, really well done. Knew nothing about this going in.

I'm somewhat of a crime doc junkie, and the fact that I never heard about this story kind of blew my mind. I was in HS in 85 and have no memory of this happening. These wild cases usually get the Dateline or 20/20 treatment at some point, but don't recall even seeing that. It was like I was watching a fictional movie.
3 episodes was perfect. Sometimes they drag these things out.
ETA: I couldn't figure out how to add a spoiler so need to edit this a bit, but this was a deceptively deep series. On the surface it was a slick looking crime procedural, but it went way deeper. So many thoughts were bouncing around my head after watching it.

Looks like it's a Frank Grillo flick. I'm in.bigbottom said:
Off topic, but Conan O'Brien's podcast (Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend) had Matthew Rhys on a few months ago. I loved The Americans, so I gave the interview a listen. Rhys is hilarious. Plus he has a Welsh accent that totally throws you off because he's always playing American characters. Well worth listening to the interview.
I was in charge of finding a movie for the family last Saturday, which is a total chore because after a year of being at home together, I feel like we've seen everything. I picked this, and by the end, my wife and teenage daughter were mercilessly making so much fun of the movie that I yelled, "CAN WE JUST FINISH WATCHING IT ALREADY." Needless to say, they hated it. I thought it was fine.bigbottom said:

The Americans is easily in my top 10 favorite series, maybe top 5. There wasn't one bad actor that I can remember. Rhys was otherworldly in his ability to convey frustration, tension, resentment, longing, and overall inner turmoil. The tension between him and Russell was just crazy. Can't say enough good things, and I really think Rhys did not receive the credit he deserved for his work in that show. Perry Mason was obviously not to that level, but he was still very very good in it.

I watched the first 30 minutes or so of "I Care A Lot".
As a old guy, it made me want to go do something very, very bad to someone.
I can only hope this doesn't happen very often, but I don't think so.

Home Before Dark (Apple TV)
We haven't finished this yet but unless it lays a complete egg in the final two episodes, I'm recommending it. (We're up to E8 of 10). We've watched a lot of violent programing with pervasive profane language in our house over the past year and we were looking for something more PG and this fits the bill. In the first episode the little girl that plays the lead is a little annoying, but if you can make it through E1 the story becomes significantly more charming and more enjoyable to watch. It still has some minor violence and a little bit of harsh language but over all if you're looking for something that's family friendly this is very good.
The Morning Show (Apple TV)
There were parts of this I liked a lot. Parts of it I detested. It's the first time I watched Jennifer Anniston and thought she was really super annoying. Not sure if I've looked past her annoying'ness over the years because of her other assets. I liked the story line a lot until the final 30 minutes of the last episode. Just sort of seemed like an important issue was turned into stupid. I liked Reese Witherspoon a lot. The more I see her in programing like this (Little Fires Everywhere, and Big Little Lies) the more I like her. Steve Carell plays the creep super well, and I loved the Billy Crudup character, although my wife didn't like him at all because she couldn't figure out if he was someone she would like working for.
Tell Me Your Secrets (Amazon Prime)
I hated this. I watched the whole thing. I kept waiting for something to happen to make me care about the characters and it never came. It was a really convoluted story line. Lots of back stories that I kept waiting to have something to do with the plot and they never tied in. One positive, I liked the portrayal of the sociopath guy. (Hamish Linklater)

Checking out the Ted Lasso craze on Apple TV+. Need to get back into Yellowstone at some point.

Apple+ and HBOMax are my bottom 2. I have HBO via AT&T for free as well. I’ve got Hulu (w/ live), Netflix and Disney+, chances are that will be the “pay” channels for the foreseeable future. Also have Prime but like HBO, it’s free. Not planning to move cell plans so Prime and HBO will likely be there for the long haul, Prime absolutely will be there.

I’ve been watching it as it came out from the beginning, recently the wife wanted to start so I’ve gone back with her an am rewatching from the beginning. It’s even better the second pass though. What a fun show.

HBO has so much great stuff, I have just seen it all.
I had missed VEEP the first time though, that show was amazing if you haven’t watched.

we've also been watching since day 1 and love it..Earlier this year when they re-showed all previous seasons, I made sure to set the DVR to record all and never delete.

we watch the Great British Baking Show. it's fantastic.
then my kids and wife love Chopped and a few other American cooking shows that are just terrible. faux drama. unnecessary faked trash talk. overly dramatic judges.
i'm all the way out on American reality tv shows that aren't Survivor
When i go shopping, I read all the product names in Ted Allen's voice.

Just finished Vikings over the weekend. Really enjoyed it for the first three seasons, S4 started to go sideways a bit. S5 picked up again and imo that's where it should have ended, after S5. By S6 I was just ready to be done with it.
Either going to begin a rewatch of The Americans or dive into Shameless next.

Finished Ted Lasso. Good stuff. It's like a cleaner more earnest version of 1st and Ten.

Lately have watched
Tread - slow for a lot of the show, but it does have a payoff in the end. Needed to cut a half hour.
Manhunt: Deadly Games- absolutely fantastic. Lots of stuff about Jewell and Rudolph I had no idea about. Very entertaining.
Alice in Borderland - madcap awesomeness. Turn off your brain and soak it in. Can't wait for season 2.
Broadchurch - superb detective procedural show, but it's much heavier than what we would have thought.

My youngest daughter, 14, got to pick the next show we are watching. She picked Attack on Titan which is on Hulu. It's a Japanese anime show which she is into, but I gotta say, I'm way into it too. Season 1 was kinda slow, but I think we're into season 3 now and it's pretty cool. Subtitles are the way to go.

The payoff was pretty stupid IMO. Once they started going into "that stuff" I found myself a lot less interested in he show.
It definitely took a turn to the unexpected. I think thats what was so mind boggling about it. If you stop after 4 episodes you think its a run of the mill Lifetime type show.

Been watching Shameless on Prime the last few weeks. Good raunchy humor for now - thru mddle of season 4

About 50% of the time when I am watching The Expanse on Prime Video (almost done with Season 1), I get German subtitles below on-screen text. It is SO WEIRD and sometimes blocks stuff out. Glitch in the matrix?

Not sure if this is the right thread for it, but what are the best tv streaming options right now? Probably need something where I still can get network tv for the wife. Even better if it includes all the cable channels with the real life murdery shows my wife watches way too much of. Is there a bundle that includes Hulu+ and Disney+?
I’m not even sure what the other options even are now. YoutubeTV?
My Comcast Bill just went up $40 and I’m tired of playing their games.
