Just finished episode 3 of Landman. It just gets better.

Yes, it does. The daughter stuff is kind of annoying but I enjoyed seeing more of Ali Larter.

I also started watching Taylor Sheridan's Lioness and noticed some crossover info on the oil industry. Interesting stuff.

Have you seen Tulsa King? I started it and found it interesting, but I'm like 7 episodes in and slowly losing interest. think I might start Lioness next
 
American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez. 2024. (10 episodes) This is pretty good especially for UConn fans. DJ is featured in a number of the episodes and the portrayal of Bill Belichick is classic. There is even a cameo featuring Edsall. The kid who plays Aaron is great. Perfectly blending the all American boy with the psychotic killer. It goes in depth about his father, the insanity at the University of Florida, the world of denial by his girlfriend, and his descent into all out crazy. It's well made, well acted and close to the truth.

My wife's binging typically includes 80% HGTV and 19% of dramas I don't want to watch, but I've been very surprised by her recent binge: A.P. Bio.

Starring It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia's Glenn Howerton, it's absurd and darkly funny. Love it so far.

Waco- Netflix 3 episode mini series. Was hoping for a bit more, felt rushed at times and no real deep analysis. First episode is a quick background on Koresh and some of the Davidians and then quickly goes to the initial breach at the compound. 2nd episode revolves around the children in the compound and tactics the ATF and FBI use to get the cult to surrender. Last episode is about the use of tear gas and subsequent fire that breaks out and the aftermath. Again feels very rushed.

Left out that FBI shot first, killed all the dogs on compound. They admitted they "might" have shot one, but actually they killed several. Once the FBI opened fire, the BD shot back. In the third episode, they left out that the FBI used military grade tear gas, highly flammable. It had been banned from civilian use, but they used it anyway. Some interesting interviews, though.

Waco - TV miniseries 2018
Michael Shannon, Taylor Kitsch, Andrea Riseborough, Paul Sparks, Rory Culkin, Julia Garner
Watched this on Paramount Plus and is a different show than you guys watched.
6 episodes and included the points you say the other show missed.
I didn't know much about this incident but man it was really messed up. This show portrays the Branch Davidians in a fairly favorable light so I am curious about the accuracy of what was really going on behind the scenes. Many reports talk about child abuse but this show doesn't go into that. It does cover polygamy and the young ages of the wives.

I can't believe this standoff lasted 51 days and required so many federal personnel. The ending is particularly tragic as many women and children died. I'd be interested in other shows or documentaries which cover this.

Yellowstone - 5 seasons 2018-2025
1883 - 2021-2022 - 1 season 10 episodes - prequel to Yellowstone
1923 - 2022-2023 - 1 season 8 episodes - prequel to Yellowstone

Earlier this year I binged Yellowstone seasons 1-4 and I'll probably wait until the end of this season to binge season 5.
1883 - I watched the first 2 episodes last night. 2 of the main characters are Tim McGraw and Faith Hill which is kind of cool. They're both pretty good actors.
1923 - on the list

I'll probably get around to watching all of the Taylor Sheridan shows since he's got a lot out there:

Yellowstone
The Last Cowboy
1883
Mayor of Kingstown
Tulsa King
1923
Lawman: Bass Reeves
Lioness
Landman

As a side note, Sheridan produced the movie Finestkind which I saw over the summer. It was OK.

Bass Reeves kinda sucked. I watched 1923 only for Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren. They were fine, the plot and action not so much. I though 1883 was worse. Other than Yellowstone, which got boring going into 4th season, haven't seen the others. JMHO.
 
I started watching Tracker on Paramount+. I haven’t watched much network TV but it looked interesting. Justin Hartley I remember as Green Arrow in Smallville. Still a super handsome dude, but it’s interesting how these guys also learn to act after 15 years. He’s solid. It’s not bad. Side note for @Chin Diesel he drives a nice blacked out Sierra, confirming my view that it’s the best looking truck option.

I watched 3 or 4 episodes a while ago. It was okay but I didn't stick with it.

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.
 
It's only 4 episodes, but I blew thru "Churchill At War" (Netflix). I've seen other biopics focused on specific events, and of course, "Darkest Hour", but I found this take very enlightening. Produced by Ron Howard and Brian Grazer, it really gave me a better understanding of just how Churchill became Churchill, and why he was exactly the leader Britain needed when the world went to hell in a hand basket.

While the story is told in linear fashion, it does so through actual video footage of Churchill, an actor playing Churchill at various points during the 30s-50s, and a synthesized Churchill voice that's used to read speeches, letters and other correspondence where there is no audio record. I found the latter very effective (the estate approved use of the technology).

I don't think we'll ever see another world leader like him.

Interestingly, the actor that played Churchill, Christian McKay, has been in two other movies featuring Churchill. He played Christopher Soames in 2016's "Churchill's Secret", and played FDR in last year's "FDR",

Sheridan is a mixed bag for me. Sicario, Wind River and Hell or High Water are great films. The rest.... meh

Yellowstone started out really good and now it's just a country music video for idiot rubes with lots of product placement.
1883 was ok
Tulsa King is stupid
1923 is actually kind of good, the first season is basically two shows. Montana and Africa. Looking forward to the second season.
Bass Reeves-I didn't finish it, The first episode is good though.
Lioness is actually really entertaining

I just finished 1883 last night. I thought it was pretty good overall. It moved a little too slow and everyone always seemed so negative, not that I think crossing the plains would be a festival. If it presented anything close to what life was really like, then it was interesting. What annoys me is they sometimes have the actors speak in a manner which cannot be understood. I get it, trying to be real. At least let me hear what they're saying. LaMonica Garrett as Thomas was very good but he was very difficult to hear. The Machine's a slamball player!

1883 was 141 years ago. Only 96 years before the formation of the Big East. Time flies.

 
I watched "Single Drunk Female" in real time while it was airing several years ago. It's on Amazon Prime so I've been having a go at it. I'm enjoying being able to watch multiple episodes in a row. Some start off immediately where the previous one ended, I wasn't aware of that from before. It never got much traction, but I think it's a solid show. Sofia Black-D'Elia is really good as the lead.

I have no interest in his TV shows but those three movies are great. Hell or High Water might be my favorite film of the decade.

Plodded through 6 episodes of The Madness on Netflix. 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.

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.

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.
