What are you binge watching?

Almost done with The Beast in Me on Netflix. Saw it mentioned briefly a few pages back. I am liking it so far. It’s an above average thriller that has kept my interest with a couple good plot twists.

Claire Danes has jumped the shark a little with the overacting and looks though. She cries every episode and looks pretty old and ragged.

A friend of mine is a trainer at the gym she goes to. Said he rode the elevator with her and her demeanor in real life is just like her characters. Always looks like she's freaking out about something.

Finally watched the first episode of Ponies. Maybe it was mostly her hairstyle, but something about the way she was portraying her character, Haley Lu Richardson kept reminding me of Kathryn Newton. I'd never really thought of them being particularly similar before.
 
The first episode of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms dropped last night. I like it so far but it's only 30 minute episode and there's only six of them. I'm not sure exactly how far they're gonna go in six episodes.

I started on Ponies (Peacock). It's a silly premise (two CIA agents stationed in Russia get killed, so their widowed spouses join the CIA because they've got nothing better to do). I'm 3 episodes in and it's a star vehicle for Haley Jo Richardson. Emilia Clarke is the other lead, but Haley Jo is the fun of the thing. Good supporting cast. I'll be interested to see if it holds together or just turns completely silly. Bonus: Great 70s soundtrack.

I enjoy Emilia Clarke's stuff. I was looking forward to watching this.

There really isn't all that much source material. For what it's worth I love these GRRM stories. They are set in the GOT universe but our lighthearted and fun. I feel like it'll be a good series, at least for a short run.

I watched PONIES. I am three episodes in. It's solid, not great, just solid, but there's enough in there to keep me coming back. It feels as if it will build overtime.

Anyone else watching Season 2 of Fallout? I think it's thru 4 eps now. Kinda slow moving. And lots of different fronts. Not nearly enough of Lucy and the Ghoul. I really don't care about what's happening back in the various vaults. There are a bunch of characters, but mostly they aren't compelling. The stuff with the Brotherhood is more interesting at least.

We're through the 6 episodes now. I agree that it jumps to lots of fronts. I like some more than others, but I'm intrigued by all. I'm confused with some stuff about Bud's Buds, but don't want to add too many spoilers. I'm least interested in the Brotherhood story, but I'm ok with it.

Regardless of the story, my wife and I enjoy the show for the production. The sets, futuristic 50s feel, acting, and music just make us happy even in a dystopian world. I just downloaded the Fallout playlist on Apple Music.

It’s boring. High production value slop.

Trailers for season 2 of Ted are up. It looks really good. I loved the first season. This is one of those premises that is so good it is literally impossible to screw it up.

There was supposed to be a third movie, which I was looking forward to, but I guess it isn't happening.

You’re not offended he is a Beluype bear and not cuddly like Yogi or Winnie?
 
Prime Suspect on Apple if you like me are a math nerd.

Also confess to Ancient Aliens after I smoke a j it’s hysterical

I'm through S2 E5 now. Can't compare with Season 1 because the shock/novelty of thte whole situation has worn off, but I still like it. The ghoul has started to actually like and respect Lucy, which could make things interesting. I like the music too. Those sappy 50s songs were before my time, but even my grown kids (MUCH more far removed from it and think my classic rock is corny) like the tunes.
 
I watched E6 of Fallout last night. I'm just really tired of Cooper/The Ghoul's wife. I'm about to start fast forwarding any scene she's in. The flashbacks to before the nukes generally aren't that interesting to me. Takes far too much time away from developing the plot in the current time frame. And de-aged Kyle MacLachlan is creepy looking.
 
I've been halfway watching "All Her Fault," being in the same room while someone else is watching it. Super dramatic. Kidnapping of a young boy and the resulting fall out. After a while, I realized almost ALL of the male characters are portrayed as absolute garbage, while the women tend towards heroic. I don't think that's cool. It has Dakota Fanning and Abby Elliot, so at least it has that going for it. And Michael Pena, who is pretty much always likable, and is the one male character that isn't a POS.

The show isn’t interesting.

I didn’t realize that I skipped 5 and watched 6. How do you know your pacing sucks? I literally missed nothing in 5.

This show is Landman bad, and Walton Goggins will need a chiropractor after carrying this show.

I don't do too deep on an analysis of the type of bear a foul-mouthed, pot smoking, perverted teddy bear is.

Finished PONIES. What a bunch of dumb decisions.

I've only watched 2 episodes so far. I'm not sure if I'm gonna try to get thru the series. You're not pushing me towards continuing. 😆
 
Copenhagen Test. Peacock. Watched Episode 1. Good enough to bring me back for another. Simu Liu is an interesting choice as leading man, but I think it works. Good for him. Seems he's been doing a lot of voice acting since Shang-Chi Ten Rings. It's a different twist on an espionage show.

It's OK. In the season finale, though, the leads make one dumb decision after another.

This was actually pretty good. I enjoyed it and I am looking forward to next season.

It's more goofy than it is good. But if you've gotten through everything else that's streaming this one's worth watching.

I will not waste one second of my life watching that show.

The review is simply hilarious though.

So...watch everything up to the season finale?

Apparently Ozempic and contact lenses do not exist in the future.
