I've been watching 1923, and it's quite good, but very soapy. A little hamfisted in the subtext (which emerges as text, at times) as well. But having Ford and Mirren headline the cast does wonders...

White Lotus is next on my viewing queue.
Currently watching Your Honor, starring Bryan Cranston. It's very good but a bit slow. It has that movie-padded-into-a-miniseries feel. Cranston is...
I’ve just finished watching two shows: Severance and Mare of Easttown. Both very different, both excellent. Severance needs a second season; Mare doesn’t.
I’ve long stopped paying attention to this kind of thing. Movies and TV shows will stand or fall on their merits, regardless of diversity or inclusion.
Diversity is good. Inclusion is good. But if...
I’ve been watching Severance. It’s really great.
The subtext – or, quite often, text – of “Corporations are evil” has been done before, of course, but rarely in such an intriguing and entertaining...
I haven't seen any of it yet. It's one of the ones I'll get to eventually. I liked Breaking Bad but I didn't love it.[/QUOTE]
Some people prefer BCS to BB, so you may also prefer it. I like both...
Anybody watching Better Call Saul? The first episode into their final run was quality. And the actors are all bringing their A-game.
Watching Jonathan Banks play Mike is such a joy, too. He...
I also find those shows weirdly entertaining in very short doses, so I wouldn't say I "watch" them.
I prefer Kitchen Nightmares, also mainly to see Gordon Ramsey eat terrible food and put the hard...
Sounds like you’ll have a fantastic summer, Matt. Some of those I’ve seen, some I have yet to get to.
I also delayed watching Fargo for a long time, and finally watched the first three seasons...
Final season of Better Call Saul. Simply great.
Bill, firstly, I’m not going to blast you for speaking your mind.
Secondly, things will normalize over time. LGBTQ+ Characters may be over represented now, but the pendulum will swing back, and...
I watched the first episode and I can't quite tell if it's supposed to be serious or a parody. Or a mix of both?[/QUOTE]
It's a parody (Of movies like Gone Girl, The Girl on the Train and The...
Strong disagree. *Much* better finale than Season 8.
Dexter: New Blood. I’m enjoying it.
A solid continuation without being a reboot or nostalgia-fest. Some of the characters are a little shallow but the primaries put in good performances and the...
I have this at the top of my list, after finishing a couple of other things. I've generally liked Flanagan's work in the past, and this is supposed to be among his best work. Looking forward to...
That's more or less where I land on it, too. No heroes on any side of that one.
I generally don't like dramatizations of events like this - I prefer documentaries. (O.J. - Made in America vs ACS Season 1). Both are interpretations of events, but at least in a documentary you're...
Oh, wow! So cool you've discovered Blake's 7 after all these years. I haven't watched it in decades - glad to hear it still holds up. It was *the* show to watch back in the day. I might try a...
I know, right? What a let down this show was. Give me a new season of "Jack Ryan" or "Goliath"!!!! lol
You'll love this, Kris. I actually watched it all the way thru based on a recommendation...
I finally got around to watching Fargo. We watched the first two seasons - both excellent – and are about to start the third.
