I was disappointed Mark Bonnar and Jamie Sives never got a scene together*

Not TV, but made the mistake of going to see Materialists in the theater. Very bad film.*

Re-watching season 1 of Sandman on Netfix in anticipation of season 2

Finished The Bear (no-sp)
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
The most overrated TV show maybe ever*
Posted by GMAW
|
Season 1: Pretty good but overrated. Season 2: Legit very good. Season 3: Self-indulgent crap
Posted by OB25
|
Season 4 is more like season 3. Though the high moments are pretty good*
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
IMO it's closer to S1 and 2 than 3, but I have a couple eps yet to watch*
Posted by bjl63
|
To each their own but I don't see it that way
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
agreed. while not as much as S3 it was way too similar for my liking
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
Through 8 episodes and so far I am enjoying it a lot*
Posted by bjl63

I couldn’t even finish last season

Season 4 of The Bear is now out*

Not a good sign that my first reaction is “Damn, I guess I have to watch this now.”
Posted by OB25
|
Haven’t watched yet, but I’m as excited as ever
Posted by Blazer
|
I'm actually optimistic about this season
Posted by Sounder

According to Trib critic Nina Metz it’s more of the same.
Posted by Herman Blume

I am too. I didn't hate S3, but it definitely was a step down from the first two*

I appreciate what were trying to do

I talked with Jeremy Allen White and Austin Butler earlier week at a happy hour.

Skarsgard is tearing up Murderbot, but eps definitely too short.

Been watching Stick as a family

Isn't it basically Ted Lasso meets Tin Cup?*

It’s more like Led Tasso*

Not really. No *

It was supposed to be ER

I mean, it's basically ER, hard to argue otherwise*
Posted by Sounder

Everyone says it's awesome, just not sure
Posted by bjl63

I'm absolutely not a medical procedure person as a rule of thumb

I'm sure I'll give in and watch it at some point. Trying to get through S1 of Industry now

Yeah I was a big fan*

We just finished the studio, which I really liked

I thought episode 3 dragged, but otherwise really like it.
Posted by larue33

Agree on the Sanctuary Moon clips*
Posted by PapaDels

episodes are way too short*
Posted by ECEIllinois

Yeah no argument there*

I'm on Episode 2 of Season 1 of the rehearsal

OK, S2,E3 is absolutely bonkers
Posted by Sounder

Truly a masterpiece *

|
I saw an interview on CNN with the guy from that show and oh my God he is almost as punchable
Posted by ATL
|
dude*
Posted by ECEIllinois
|
Sorry. He came off as someone trying to do a bit wasn’t funny. Not sure if it was a bit or not.
Posted by ATL And I guess this ought to be below
|
If that was your first exposure to Nathan Fielder, maybe take a step back
Posted by Sounder
|
Nathan certainly isn't for everyone as I said below
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
How dare you insult the Pilot that performed the "Miracle Over the Mojave"*
Posted by illini21
|
he saved 150 lives that day!*

Episode 4 of Season 1 is probably the second most insane episode of the series

I love Goglia. By this point he knows Nathan is fully nuts but he’s on board with his central premis
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
It's absolutely insane
Posted by Sounder
|
He did this bit on Kimmel the other night*
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
It's crazy that he's used his absurd obsession to platform a real social problem*
Posted by Sounder
|
But also if you're only on ep2 of season 1 you're spoiling season 2 pretty good!*
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
Finding Frances really turned a corner for him. I'll miss Nathan For You though*

Loved the finale (sp-ish)

The Bear Season 4 Trailer

man last season was such a bore. Hopefully it turns around*
Posted by illini21

it was a season-long setup for S4
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
I believe this is correct*
Posted by Sounder
|
Four Seasons was an easy watch for someone over 40*
Posted by CoronaTheirAss
|
I bailed after ep1 because I felt no chemistry at all between the supposed best friends*
Posted by OB25
|
yeah I watched it all the way thru but was underwhelmed
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"

It's fun popcorn fare, if not high art*
Posted by Sounder
|
I didn't find it to be that fun/entertaining. it was ok, not great
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"

Netflix shows are famously mediocre*

It sucked and a criminal misuse of forte

We liked it. *

Train to Busan is a really good Japanese zombie movie on Netflix. English subtitles*

Finally finished S3 of White Lotus last night (no sp)

It was my favorite of the 3 seasons

It’s not as good as first two - but you are grossly exaggerating*

There were some memorable moments, and Parker Posey was a delight (sp)

We are trying to trudge through it. But, it’s a slog. Just want to finish.*
Posted by LovetheChief
|
Also loved the first two seasons but haven’t started the third
Posted by illini21
|
It’s still way better than 99% of everything else on tv. But it’s arguably not quite as good as the
Posted by Herman Blume Actually 86% on rotten tomatoes, so few are complaining, but those that are are complaining loudly.

Good post. I agree. Still worth watching. *

yeah this is me

If you like the Taylor Sheridan stuff, Landman is pretty fun. Been rolling through that.*

Like Yellowstone it was preposterous and highly entertaining

The daughter is hot, but her character overall drags the show down*

I don’t know, I enjoyed Billy Bob’s exhausted interactions with her*

Old and quirky and only one season but I'm going to reiterate my support for The Resort

WTF did I just watch*
Posted by BradUnderwoodforprez

Watched 2 recent episodes
Posted by bjl63

The most recent episode is probably the weakest one in season 2
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider

His monotone narration is sleep inducing (sp-ish)
Posted by bjl63

Same reaction. Kinda breezed through Season 1 without knowing anything about the show.

Started rewatching season 1. Funnier and more twisted than I remembered.*

So digs, I'm like 30 minutes into episode 1 of Banshee

Finally got around to the first two eps of Black Mirror last night.

I’m out. Made it about halfway through episode 2 and had enough*

I enjoy it but think it's overhyped*

That won’t change - it’s not about anything. But I’m a huge fan*

Well I sure did wanna see that pineapple suite

I disagree, it's an existential parable exploring the relationship between money and happiness*

Was lioness a yay? Sister recommended it at Easter this weekend*

It's awesome, assuming you like Taylor Sheridan, he isn't for everyone*
