What are you binge watching?

Just watched episode 1 of Landman. Taylor Sheridan done did it again. First episode free on Prime. I’m pretty sure if you don’t have a subscription, you’ll want one after seeing it. Billy Bob Thornton is back in Permian, but he’s not a football coach this time.

Guy has like 25 shows right now.
 
Good for him. I remember watching Taylor on "Sons of Anarchy" when he wasn't making much money as an actor.

Yeah. He super interesting. Happy for him. Yellowstone really kinda sucks now but the other shows are showing promise.

I want to see more movies like Sicario, Hell or High Water and Wind River though.

Yeah, I can attest to that. First episode was fantastic. Signed up for Paramount+ already.

So is anybody else watching The Penguin? I'm sure everyone is familiar with the makeup on Colin Farrell, but it really is amazing. Not just that, but his voice, movements, you honestly completely forget who it is. The show is really very good, Farrell is tremendous but the surprise standout is Cristin Millotti as Sofia Falcone. Fascinating character. Mob boss' daughter with a tragic backstory. She pulls off an incredible combination of cute, charming, smart, ruthless and a little bit crazy. The rest of the cast is all quite good.

The Warden lost interest, but I freaking loved it. This video of Farrell in make-up speaking messes with your head! Millotti was amazing.

I remember all the hype months ago and I'm thinking "The Penguin"? It can't possibly be good. But everyone seems to like it, I might give it a shot. That last show I felt the same way about when I first heard of it was Ted Lasso.

Don't be in a hurry to watch Dune: Prophecy. Boring as hell.
I thought episode one was pretty good. Not a lot of action to be sure, but it's setting the stage.
 
I saw Lost up on Netflix and never watched it so I jumped in last week. I always thought it was my kind of show with hidden bits and plot Easter Eggs but never got around to watching it before.

4 episodes in, I think it's good. It looks like it's held up okay over time. And I'm trying not to nitpick at things like "Why are they using the flashlights so much?" and it is interesting to watch network TV again. I wonder what this show would have been like on Apple TV or HBO.
Update: I gave up around 7-8 episodes in. I gotta be honest. Network TV was just awful. The language, acting, "violence", lack of cussing. Just got super boring and blah for me.

I think the last Network TV show I watched was Evil. Interestingly it moved to Paramount+ from CBS for season 3. Suddenly there's swearing and near nudity, and it just makes it a bit more real.

We watched episode 2 last night. It's really good. BBT is ridiculously good. His delivery of every line is perfect.

I watched the free ep1 couple of nights ago. It was good, but not enough on its own to spring for Paramount+. That said, I'm going to read up on Lioness to see if that'll justify the extra expense. Usually there's one I'm subbed to that I can cancel, but not while I still need to have that damned ESPN+ sub for football.

Yep, me too. Really an amazing group of actors they put together for this.

2.99 a month for two months thru Amazon Prime seems worth it. There’s also Tulsa King and Mayor of Kingstown.

Tulsa King is really quite good. I think the currently running Star Trek Discovery show is pretty good too. Not a must watch, but solid.
 
Say Nothing. On FX (Hulu). This is a true story (although there’s a disclaimer in each episode) of certain key characters during The Troubles in Belfast and elsewhere in N. Ireland starting in the late 60s. The focal character is Dolours Price, played by Lola Petticrew in the past and Maxine Peake at the time of interviews Dolours gave leading to the book and this series. Dolours and her sister Marian (Hazel Doupe), also a key character, were really the first active field “soldiers” for the Provisional IRA. The other main players are IRA leaders Brendan “Dark” Hughes and Gerry Adams (who disputes ever having that role). Just a really, really well made and directed show. Gripping.

This was a great watch. Learned a lot.

Been enjoying Day of the Jackal. I was concerned about Redmayne being the lead as TBOMK he's never played a true evil baddie, but he's been great. Lashana Lynch as the agent responsible for catching him is also fantastic. Nice to also see Ursula Corbero as the Jackal' wife, who was one of the main stars of Money Heist, and now speaks decent English.

Yeah watched it in a few days. Had actually read the book about 5 or so years ago but forgot a lot of what happened. I feel like Gerry Adams pretending he never was in the IRA is just a huge joke at this point and maybe what the film was trying to say by saying it every episode. There is a youtube documentary on Dolours Price i'd recommend called " I Dolours" that gives a bit more background on the lead up to her joining in the IRA that I appreciated. The series was very good though.

 
I am into season 3 and I am really enjoying this adventure. When I first posted about Lost I was only on episode 8 or 9, I didn't realize each season was so long.

The cast is very entertaining. There are some downsides but the adventure keeps rolling along. Some of the deaths don't make much sense but I'm letting the story play out.

Sawyer with his nicknames is probably my 2nd favorite, behind Kate of course. "Advice is free, Murgatroyd," he says to Munson in jail.


Lost
OK, I FINALLY finished this show. If you haven't seen it, you may not want to read this. I am not giving away any spoilers really, but this is my opinion. I'm glad I sat through it, but I wouldn't consider it Great.
  • My wife told me it was good for a few seasons and then was tough to watch for a few seasons. exactly.
  • I've been watching every night. I got hooked in. I loved the characters, especially the ladies, I'm not gonna lie. I thought the acting was very good all around and really got to know the characters
  • The time travel got to be a little too confusing. I want to relax and enjoy and try to figure things out, but I felt like I had to try too hard here. That led me to just want to get to the end of the show as soon as possible
  • Ben - that character was both intriguing and annoying. I still don't know why they kept him around so long
  • The Ending - I don't know. I'll read some more online. I'm not sure I understand it

Oh good. Discovered that the other day. Liked the movie and book, so was intrigued.
 
Just finished episode 3 of Landman. It just gets better.
Binged the first three last night. I'm into it. The stuff with the daughter is a bit weird, but I find all the oil buisness stuff/culture to be quite intersting. Started listening to the podcast "Boomtown", which is what inspired the show.
