Just finished the BBCs Chernobyl mini-series. I’d highly recommend it, just an excellent series from start to finish.

It’s also supposed to be pretty accurate to real events which is great!

Has anyone watched Yellowjackets? I tried for 1 episode but lost interest but want to give it another chance because a couple of my fave actresses are in there.

DocL · 07-13-2022, 07:15 PM

I’m really not up to date on most mainstream tv shows, so I apologize if this old to all of you.

The Outlaws on Amazon is a hoot. And you gotta love Christopher Walken.

I just looked and I now see the new episode On Demand. So there must be a day or so delay from the original air date. I have Verizon. With On Demand I can watch anything from the channels I pay for whenever I want free of charge. Not sure if the terminology is different with other service providers.

OMFG!!!????!!!!

Spoiler alert like you've never seen———-

How the fuck could they shoot Howard! Of all the shocking things I've seen on TV in my life, that is the worst one. Why were they scamming him so hard? I was waiting for answers. Fuck…..

SPOILER for ppl not up-to-date on Better Call Saul....

Ya, I never got the hatred Jimmy and Kim have for Howard, esp the latter, very out-of-character even though they wanna portray her as some rebel badX even when she was young...I don't buy it. That scene where she does the double gun-BANG thing to Jimmy was cringy as hell. Anyway, all their stupid and elaborate pranks on Howard indirectly led to his death. They will have to live w that for the rest of their lives.

So, you're only up to that episode and not at e8 yet? Haha, oh boy....

The new "Resident Evil" on Netflix has gotten off to a pretty good start, but annoying by episode two there's already the obligatory gay female couple. It never fails. I'm just waiting for the trans character, BLM undertones and a Trump lookalike evil final boss.

I have nothing against the LGBT2Q community, mixed race couples etc but the political messaging is making a lot of TV unwatchable.

Completely agree mate!

HFW003 · 07-14-2022, 08:01 AM

My darling Son brought me a lovely Covid present back from a concert he went to in Sydney a week or so ago so I’ve been isolating all week and have had the opportunity to catch up on a bit of viewing.

I really enjoyed The Terminal List, thought it was a bit moist here and there and I couldn’t imagine the US letting an internal terrorist run around like he was. Other than that, pretty good.

Unfortunately I started to watch Apex, a very bad movie starring Bruce Willis. Just don’t!

Sedan_Clan · 07-14-2022, 10:44 PM

Annoying spoiler alert……

….within minutes of the gay couple introduction (…and after a character is bitten by a zombie dog), the bitten character asks if she'll have to quarantine. The father replies, "No! It's not like COVID!"………uhhhhh riiiiiight!!!! So, in a world where mass infection and zombies exist, Umbrella's zombie hound can bite you (…likely beginning the transformation), but only COVID requires a quarantine!?!? This propaganda is mind blowing.

edit:

….and another viral reference to COVID in episode 5. SMH!

UncleWede · 07-14-2022, 11:06 PM

My BIL hooked me up with HBO+ so I can watch Westworld and Lovecraft Country. I started the first episode of LC and decided I wasn't sufficiently mind-altered to watch more than 5 minutes

It's shite. It sort of interests you but drags on and ooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnn, the story never moves along.

I likely sit two steps left of the guns and god crowd here but the mixed race thing is completely and utterly out of control. I literally cannot remember the last white couple I have seen on tv show the past two years.

I grew up, lived and worked in Toronto for most of my life. Toronto is arguably one of the most divers and progressive cities in the world. I knew a few gay couples and can only think of a couple of mixed race couples I came across or knew. I worked in government buildings and spent 20 years in the downtown core including the gay village. The disproportionate number of gay, trans and mixed race couples on TV now would make you think that a straight white couples are the anomaly on the planet now.

As I have said, I have absolutely nothing against the LGBT2Q community or mixed race couples but I am losing patients and interest in TV and movies that flog this message constantly.

This exactly.

I'm watching The Lake (Amazon) and it's way too much (a 10 year old child actor/dragqueen fgs) , but tbh I'm having some laughs as well: So benefit of the doubt.

Gonna watch James May Our man in Italy over the weekend. His Japan travel and Clarkson's Farm are really good. Plus who doesn’t love Italy?

Episode one is just to set the story, although the ending of the episode is easily what really gets you invested. Episode 2 gets intense with the flashbacks and storyline, keep going, it gets really good, plus Melanie Lynskey, Christina Ricci , and Juliette Lewis are fantastic.

Truth. Just makes me want to watch dvr'd re runs of 80's and 90's sitcoms.

Add me to that. I may actually start doing that.
