What are you binge watching?

Plodded through 6 episodes of The Madness on MAX. I got tired of watching Colman Domingo, lost all interest in any of the characters and how the thing would end...so I gave up.

‘The Madness’ Review: Netflix Series Will Drive You Crazy

Apologies to star Colman Domingo, but the ever-changing villains, dated takes on politics and nonsensical set up make this show just about unwatchable.

Same here. Watched a few episodes and I'm as addicted to it as I am Murder in a Small Town. Which is to say I'm not addicted to it. If I happen to be channel surfing or stream surfing and I see there's new episodes and I'm in the mood, I'll watch it. But definitely not a show I make time for in my schedule to watch.

And, for @HuskyHawk, check out the car thread I started. I'm looking at an all black RAM 1500 Rebel today.

Honestly, and this is a question for everyone, is there any show without a seral narrative storyline that is "addictive"? It's why I think Network TV has largely lost the audience. Every show I really loved over the last 10 years or so has had a larger story to which each episode mostly contributes (with occasional side stories). Even Supernatural on CW had that.

That's what I loved about Burn Notice. You had the individual episodes which were self-contained stories, but each contained a piece relating to the larger story arc of Michael trying to understand who burned him and then trying to correct it.

For what it's worth, it also had a fairly satisfying series ending. That was a good show.

Gabrielle Anwar is what I loved about Burn Notice. The show itself is pretty good too. Gabrielle may be retired, she hasn't done much in a while.

I've seen Burn Notice piecemeal while channel surfing. It might be good to go back and binge and it would probably make the larger story more entertaining.

I did binge it recently and it held up very well.

Never saw it. So I started tonight. Six minutes left in episode one and there are more beautiful women in this episode than you’d expect to see in 100 episodes of most shows. including Miami Vice. Even the mousy blonde selling cell phones at a kiosk was super pretty.

It‘s entertaining, a hair dated perhaps. Curious to see where it goes. Gabrielle Anwar is lovely but listening to her butcher an Irish accent isn’t great.
 
"Secret Level" is a new anthology series on Amazon Prime. From some of the same creative team behind "Love Death + Robots." All animated shorts (15-20 minutes) based on video games. I'm not a gamer, so being familiar with the source material isn't a must. As usual with anthologies it's a bit hit and miss, but fairly good overall so far. 8 episodes were made available immediately, I'm about halfway thru those. Looks like 7 more eps drop in a week.
 
Okay, breezed thru the 8 eps of Secret Level. Highlights for me were the robot miners' revolution, Arnie as a vain king, and Keanu as an enhanced pilot of a mech.

After an episode or two, you won't even hear it anymore.

The show did leave me wishing it was on cable for um...reasons
 
So, apparently my wife had a Paramount+ account she thought she cancelled. But she didn't. So I watched all the available episodes of Landman. It's an amazing PR coup for Big Oil wrapped up in a nifty story. Billy Bob is hysterical. Not sure if it's all scripted or he's ad libbing, but the sarcasm, jokes and timing are exceptional. I'm enjoying most everything about it save for his wife and daughter. BBT's character is a smart guy and seems to learn from his mistakes, so why he's back with the nope/golddigger makes no sense to me given the rest of the story.

When the last episode of Landman ended, it launched the first episode of Tulsa King, so I decided to watch. I'm going to stick with it because there are some interesting characters surrounding Stallone (how have I never heard of Andrea Savage?), but my overall impression of it is that it's simply a domestic version of Liilyhammer as far as the fish-out-of-water mobster in new surroundings go. Lillyhammer was better and funnier, IMHO. And alas, my huge crush from my hometown, Dana Delany, is not ageless after all. But she still has her figure at 68, which is no minor accomplishment.

Check out the sitcom "I'm Sorry". Absolutely hilarious. She's a wife and mom, her husband is the guy who was "Shades" in "That Thing You Do" and their friend is Raffi from "The League". Raunchy humor, only 2-3 seasons. I think COVID killed it but really, really funny.
 
I really want to like Dune Prophecy, and some of the scenes are pretty cool and the acting is solid for the most part, but I have no idea what is happening most of the time.

Thank you for that. And you forgot to mention one of my favorite comedic actresses, Judy Greer, is her best friend! Can't believe I've never heard of this gem. Just finished "Asscubes" which may be the funniest half hour of TV ever. Tom Everett Scott deserves an Emmy just for not losing it in every scene.

That’s exactly how my wife feels. The time shifting makes it more confusing, I think especially coming from the movies because the “now“ time is already distant history.
 
Watched "Black Doves" (Netflix) over the past three nights (I was OD'ing on "I'm Sorry" and often needed a break for something serious). The ever so slight Keira Knightley works for a shady intelligence operation that sells secrets to the highest bidder, all while being married to a prominent English politician who's is blithely unaware as to why his wife spends so much time away from home during the Christmas holidays. Meantime, Keira kicks the asses of several guys much larger than she, never coming home with bruises and cuts that would give her away. Her handler, Sarah Lancashire, is all so nonchalantly British, which makes her not nearly as fun as Margo Martindale was in The Americans. Keira teams up with an old gay friend who's having trouble with his love life to find a recording of an incident that has the Chinese furious. There are more holes in this series than in Blackburn, Lancashire. It's six episodes long, so thankfully not a big investment. One of them is actually good.
 
Watched the second installment of Secret Level, really enjoyed it. I think that's all of the episodes.
 
Kings of Tupelo. Netflix. was pretty good. Real life crime drama that plays like Cohen brother movie. Really bizarre cast of characters centered on a couple of brothers that have a dual Elvis impersonator act. Only 3 episodes so not too much of a time investment.

Just finished “The Day of Jackal”. Thought it was excellent.

The final episode was a rare experience, at least for me. Solid acting, solid script, good action, and yet when it was all over I was "Huh. That was disappointing." Can't explain more than that w/o giving it away.

Overall, it was compelling, and Redmayne was excellent in a role I didn't think he was right for. But he pulled it off, convincingly. Lashana Lynch was also great as the pursuer.
 
Watched the first two episodes of Beast Games, the real life Squid Games type competition. Well worth checking out if that’s your sort of thing.
