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.
