Full Circle, go watch it!

Clark_Kent · 07-24-2023, 09:58 PM

Started Special Ops: Lioness on Paramount+. Watched both episodes that are up. Decent watch so far.

RickFLM4 · 07-24-2023, 10:11 PM

Finally got to watch the first 2 episodes of the new Justified and we enjoyed them. Will keep watching.

My wife bailed but I laughed out loud at every episode. Acquired a taste for it? Warped sense of humor?? Both???

Murf the Surf · 07-28-2023, 06:43 AM

Watched the first two episodes of this last night. Really enjoyed it.

IMO Worth watching but No where near the great character development of the original Justified. I also think they missed on the music score. Detroit should have given them a lot of options but IMO they missed compared to original Justified.

We finished season 1 last week and season two this past Wednesday. We both enjoyed it and laughed as well. The tension between the two couples was nuts. Also, Harper had so many mood swings it was tough to keep up. lol! But it was a good show and a season 3 is coming out soon...I think based in Thailand.

I don't like infantile stuff, heck, I don't even like comedies generally-speaking, but Miracle Workers is lol to me.

stein_325i · 07-31-2023, 07:50 PM

This should be fun, curious to see Meryl Streep's character this season.

I haven't watched either version of Justified yet, but do you need to watch the original series to fully enjoy the new Justified?

Yes, I could hardly stand season 1 but season 2 was good.

I enjoyed both seasons, its definitely not a show for everyone but I find that type of "cringe comedy" enjoyable. I went to Taormina recently and visited the Hotel and Isola Bella beach, and talked a bunch with the locals there who had worked on the set and they all said that the cast was amazingly friendly and that Jennifer Coolidge was a hoot to work with. I'm very excited to see how season 3 will be set in Asia.

stein_325i · 08-02-2023, 02:58 PM

Started watching Dead Ringers last night. I watched the original by Cronenburg with Jeremy Irons decades ago, and this new one is just as weird, but still interesting. A bit slow paced, but I’m intrigued nonetheless, plus I’m a sucker for Rachel Weisz who’s pulling double duty as the twins.

Esteban · 08-02-2023, 03:14 PM

^ Big fan of her too. Started watching this a few months ago and didn’t really like it and quit. Maybe I didn’t watch enough. Will try it again and give it more of a chance this time.

I’m at episode 3, and it definitely picks up there. Episode 2 was a bit slow, and weird, but the series is only 6 episodes long so that makes it a bit easier.

Interestingly, the remake was in part Weisz’s idea as she always loved the film and it stuck with her.

tranquility · 08-02-2023, 05:26 PM

I started watching Domina, not a bad first episode.

RickFLM4 · 08-02-2023, 09:08 PM

Starting Season 2 of Dark Winds. Feel like I need to re-watch Season 1 though.

StealthF32 · 08-02-2023, 09:33 PM

...quick list, but I'm sure some these probably have already been mentioned

1) Ozark

2) TopBoy

3) Animal Kingdom

4) Snowfall

5) Power

6) Sons of Anarchy (SOA) - definitely worth the re-watch

Top Boy comes back next month. I'm really looking forward to the next season. Excellent show!

Yup, definitely gonna be interesting to see what elements & the direction the story line takes

Lately it's Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares USA, the Brit sorts out badly run restaurants with aplomb.

T0RM3NT · 08-05-2023, 06:41 PM

Jury Duty on Amazon...mildly entertaining with an odd premise. Binging it today with my wife.

From IMDB: It follows the workings of an American jury trial through the eyes of Ronald Gladden, a juror who is unaware the entire case is fake. Everyone except him is an actor, and everything that happens is carefully planned.
