Agree, I have no interest in the character Michael Prince

yeah…quoting myself here to append my initial review of ‘midnight mass’ now that we finished it.

it had really great potential and some very interesting (although somewhat bludgeoning) themes about religion and zealotry. There was also some decent character development that kept me engaged during the build up to episode 6. shit got crazy — in a good way — in episode 6 and made me hopeful that the series could fulfill its premise. unfortunately, for me, the final episode was a huge let down and copped out of some the real dynamics that it had put into play earlier.

I binged through Squid Game in one day, probably one of the easiest shows to binge I've watched in a while, so much tension and suspense, and fantastic acting and great characters all around. Really enjoyable especially episode 6, although I'm not sure how I feel about the final scene of the show, but apparently there may be a season 2 which I am greatly looking forward to.

The Sweeney and this particular episode with George Sweeney (appropriate) in his prime role as Cook,''the Leopard'' a prison escapee going after Regan who put him away showing his true humour

Succession is back on Sunday. So fucking good. Just rewatched some episodes from Series 2 last night

Best show on TV!

Billions has jumped the shark, it used to be good! Now it's just gone a bit ridiculous

M5Rick · 10-16-2021, 07:32 AM

Here he is again in another episode from Sweeney,Taste of Fear.

bosstones · 10-16-2021, 08:31 AM

Finished Squid Game. Like others, the finale was a bit of a drop from the rest of the episodes, primarily the cliff scene. That said, Squid Game is supposedly one of Netflix's most watched shows so I'd be surprised if there wasn't a season 2.

Started watching Alice in Borderland and have 1 episode left. Thematically, as far as survival games go, it is similar to Squid Game but different enough so it isn't like watching a clone.

I like both shows but am liking Alice in Borderland a bit more.

Okay, binge watched eight episodes of “You” Season 3 on Netflix.

Huge fan of Season 1, thought Season 2 was pretty good, but Season 3 has me thinking WTF? I mean, without playing spoiler to anyone planning to watch it, will just say I think the show has jumped the shark with Season 3.

stein_325i · 10-19-2021, 09:54 PM

Just finished the Only Murders in the Building finale, was excellent, very good way to wrap things up with some nice surprises as well as a nice cliffhanger for the next season.

Also Ozark is FINALLY coming back for season 4. Apparently Part 1 of the the final season is airing in January.

Ozark looks great!

Wife & I are finishing Only Murders in the Building tonight after dinner

Is anyone else watching American rust? It's OK, I'm really just hanging there cause I enjoy watching Jeff Bridges. All the other storylines are kinda weak.

I was instantly disappointed in the opening of episode 1. I feel like there was an entire season that got left out that they tried to condense in the first 5 minutes. We are only 3 or 4 episodes in at this point.

Well, we’re close to finishing, and Season 3 remains a disappointment. will see it through to the end, but am not expecting an improvement.

It’s on our list....., but based on your question am wondering if it’s worth the time investment to watch?

Yeah, we made it to the (non-vax) man in the box and have just kinda stopped there. I plan to finish it, but we've already started watching other random stuff. She has her kids this week so we may finish it next weekend if we aren't in the garage working on cars. We are both waiting a call from the body shop to pick up both of our cars. I backed in to hers a couple of weeks ago.

Did you ever end up watching this? Trying to find something new to watch, wondering if this is any good.

TiMSport · 10-20-2021, 05:44 PM

I'm so glad some of you guys posting here are saving me the time and wasted energy so I don't have to discover the shittiness of some of these shows.

Now having said that, I expect someone around here will eventually be reporting on the upcoming new season of Dexter and let me know if it's a giant FAIL or worth watching. Lol.

Good luck with the cars! And, yes, it only gets more bizarre with each episode. Or, am I bizarre because I keep watching more episodes?? It’s like my wife noted, each episode we watch will complain about the storyline, but the ending makes you want to watch the next episode!

Sounds just like us! I think we want to enjoy it and look for reasons to.

No, never got the time to watch. Now that I heard its also been canceled not sure I want to get into something that won't have a proper ending.

Joe T · 10-20-2021, 07:47 PM

just finished season 3 of YOU

https://www.netflix.com/title/80211991

I enjoyed it. Series is kinda "dexter" like, Guy is a stalker of women he's infatuated with.
