It’s my all-time favorite show, but it wasn’t until episode 4 that I knew I was going to love it.

So Lalo Salamanco is one of the best Breaking Bad characters ever.

Yeah, the show recovered quite nicely after the goofy and forgettable mesa verde nonsense.

Yep. Already looking forward to next season. They do cliffhangers well. And backstory, resolution, and fan service.

Ugh, Raised by Wolves ended so badly. Such a disappointment after what was set up to be a really strong Sci Fi series.

Good idea, starts strong, visually interesting, and then falls apart?

Seems like every Ryan Murphy show.

BTW has anyone seen his most recent show, Ratched?

I wasn't a big fan of the way it was presented... the cheesy music,,just couldn't take it.

Basically, yes. Emphasis on the visually strong part. Very cinematic, and it's TRYING to make you ask some difficult questions about spirituality, it just never really goes anywhere you want to be.

I highly recommend Mr. Robot. I watch literally any tv show smart people seem to enjoy, but this one slipped past me, somehow. It's sooooo much better than I expected.

The Last Kingdom has gotten the Mrs. and I really hooked of late

It is pretty good..I'm watching it now as well. It has some absolutely silly moments, but enjoyable..

Murphy3 · 02-20-2021, 02:30 PM

It has been awhile since I've watched a show that completely captures my attention. I guess Cobra Kai is somewhat close to that type of show..but I need something.

What season are you on Murph?
watched 1st 2 seasons but don't have netflix so haven't tapped into season 3.

Started watching agents of shield - i know i'm really late to the party but i do like MCU. not bad so far for a tv show. still just season 1.

Murphy3 · 02-22-2021, 04:19 PM

I'm in season 3... a good show.

It's worth the free trial.

thanks for the recommendation - will see when my wife is down for binge watching it with me.

we recently watched the original karate kid and also part 2 with the family
dont think i'll have the kids watch cobra kai any time soon though lol.
and not going to bother with part 3 or the next karate kid - those were both kinda garbage from what little i recall.

Kingdom (Netflix - MMA culture show. I'm half way through season 2)
Sinner (USA -> Netflix. Each season is a different case with same detective)
Queen's Gambit (Netflix - Finally a show that gets it all right when it comes to competitive chess)

Last but definitely not least
Ted Freaking Lasso! (AppleTV)

Queens Gambit and Ted Lasso are AMAZING.

ROP coulda been great, but the slow slog and uninteresting characters made it so bland. Final episode was really good, but it can't make up for the rest of it.

FreshJive · 10-25-2022, 05:10 AM

I just finished Babylon 5. Pretty fucking great

Murphy3 · 10-28-2022, 08:04 PM

Watched Only Murders In the Building. It?s solid. I like the chemistry between Martin and Short.
