What are you binge watching?

[ZooCougar]

Boba Fett is basically just an offshoot of Mandalorian. There are whole episodes without much Boba. But what we are all waiting for is Obi Wan Kenobi, also out May 27th.

Are we really? I’ve given up watching this stuff. It’s always disappointing.

Succession Season 2
Tokyo Vice
Suspicion
Winning Time
All the Old Knives
The Morning Show
Snowfall
Mayans MC

...and not necessarily in that order.

Go watch Tokyo Vice please. I just finished season 1 and would be crushed if there is no season 2. It seems likely given the strong reviews, but a few more people watching would help. Really an impressive look at something most of us know little about. And I’m slowly learning Japanese. Well, maybe 4 words.

It really was a strong first season. All the setups for season two are gonna be really interesting too. I haven't seen any word but I bet it'll get at least another season. Sho Kasamatsu who plays Sato is a tremendous actor!

 

[LwrcasefaN]

Note to self. DO NOT watch Hoarders AFTER a meal. Just don't!

 

[HuskyHawk]

Anybody else watching Moon Knight? For a Marvel show, it is certainly different. Not like anything else. I appreciate the Egyptian God angle, the Greek, Roman and even Norse gods get a lot of play in pop culture, but Egyptian, not so much. Even those who don't like Marvel stuff might enjoy this.

There is nothing better than Outer Range right now. Might be new favorite show for all time.

I'm a big fan of Imogen Poots, but she's been in a lot of junk lately. Glad to hear she got herself attached to a good project. I'll definitely check it out whenever I sign up for Prime again.

Not saying anything because of spoilers but she needs to win something.

I watched all 8 episodes and while I'm interested in how it resolves, there are a lot of problems with it.

• difficult to watch due to many scenes in dark/poor lighting
• extremely slow-moving
• ridiculous dialogue and reactions

After watching it, I read the 1-star reviews on Amazon. Many were hilarious regarding "woke agenda", "anti-god", "covering all intersectionality bases", and whatnot. But the most disgusting and vile thing about the series to me was the open-mouthed sloppy tongue kissing between Poots and whomever she's sticking her tongue into. It was kinda cool when we first did it as kids with someone we liked , but actually watching actors playing ridiculous characters doing it? It hurts my eyes. And my brain.

 

[Deepster]

Watched the season finale of Winning Time last night. I truly enjoyed that entire season. Loved the manner in which they filmed a bunch of the scenes and was entertained in virtually every scene in every episode.

Should be said, I was a Dr J/Sixers fan growing up and that Bird/Magic era hits close to home, including the finals Game 6 where a rookie Magic played center and the Lakers won the title. A teen Deepster was not very happy during that entire game but it was neat to see how they translated that to the series.

it’s just not your bag. Maybe you should stick to Marvel.

That show is a big hit. The kissing is supposed to be like that because the characters are out of their minds.

there are 9 episodes.

There's only 8 episodes in S1. If you found a 9th, please send the link.

I think Marvel movie fans have ruined cinema for everyone else and have been a frequent critic here, so I'm laughing at the inanity of that comment - especially when you follow with "it's a big hit", as is every. single. marvel. movie. So if hits are necessarily good, what's your point?

I'll stick with my opinions. I said I'm interested in how it wraps up so I'll keep watching. But it's no Ozark.

It’s in the hole.

You must not like David Lynch or stuff like that. The show is crazy good and it wasn’t based on anything.

Honestly I don’t think we watched the same show.

I can't recall who recommended it, maybe ZooCougar, but I binged several episodes of Mythic Quest last night. Was saving it to watch with my daughter, but that seems less likely. They made two bridge episodes between the first and second season, like Ted Lasso did. One of them was Pandemic specific and with a show focused on a workplace, it was hilarious. Video calls, people not showering, it was quite well done. Show has gotten better as it has progressed. I still can't help but find Poppy oddly attractive. Nerdy, lopsided smile, big glasses, Aussie accent.

Mythic Quest is really funny. 3 episodes in. Dinner Party was brilliant.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

I liked Tokyo Vice, but didn’t love the final episode.

Spoiler

The protagonists either made really stupid decisions, like Samantha, or the rules of the show changed, like Tozawa suddenly being able to kill cops and their families any time he wants. If he could have done that, then why didn’t he do it earlier?

I give it a B+ overall, but I hope the writing is tighter next season.

Agreed. Samantha is a genius. Few of the characters, aside from Jake's boss and Katagiri, are particularly likable. I can't believe the woman playing Misaki is 42.

As a Celtics fan it took me a bit of prodding to watch but glad I did.
Extremely well produced and acted.
Everything is taken up a notch.
From Buss’s shirts open to the navel to Jerry West’s I’m A Loser persona to every character wearing a wig that stretches credulity to the point of hilarity.

 

[LIuconn]

Just started The Minx on HBO. Less than 1 ep in and this is 100% bingeable

 

[Fairfield_1st]

I just found Deadbeat on Hulu. A comedy about a guy that can talk to ghosts. It's a funny version of Touched by an Angel. There's at least 2 seasons. Not laugh out loud funny, but I'm enjoying it.

I stopped watching, and for the very reasons you listed. More, I found the shows penchant for the odd and quirky mystery frequently didn't match its need to be harrowing. Nor did I find the actions of the characters believable, often lacking what I feel to be human like motivations. After a while I no longer cared. However, I have found the show "Severence" to have a far more interesting premise with its quirkiness, and although its social commentary can be a bit heavy handed, its humor overrides its faults.

Based on this thread I've given it a try. Not bad. Don't love it, but still watching (Ep 5 now). I do despise the Tillerson boy that is always singing. If that was the intent, they succeeded. I pretty much hate the scenes he's in.

I watched it. Definitely different. Didn't really care for it. It got a little too weird for me in the middle to late episodes.

I'm revisiting the Muppet Show on Disney+.

Oh hell yes.

Just finished it last night. I was really young but also enjoyed that era of hoops. Also read that Jerry West is suing them because of the way he was portrayed.

That's freakin hilarious (not your viewing history, rather, West's moronic vanity).

Those singing scenes are simultaneously cringe and hilarious.

Charlotte Nicdao (actress that plays Poppy) is really good. Expressive face, always in character, she is totally believable, even with some of the crazier dialogue.

She could be an A lister with the right career movies.

I’ve started the third season of Killing Eve. They reveal the backstory of some of the characters. It is surprising. Plus, Eve’s development is interesting.

 

[Kolumbo]

The Lincoln Lawyer - 2022 Netflix.
Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Neve Campbell, Becki Newton (Guilford, CT), Angus Sampson

Just watched the 1st 3 episodes and it's pretty good so far. I didn't realize it was a 2011 movie with McConaughey which explains the commercials. Just looked it up and Neve Campbell is Maggie the cougar ex-wife. Mickey Haller is the main character and is top notch. I'm intrigued and this is the first season.

 

[HuskyHawk]

I finished After Life and need a new 30 minute show while I’m rowing. Preferably with several seasons.
