Without digging back several pages I will apologize in advance if this has been talked about already.

The Bear Season 2 Episode 6 "Fishes"

I have NEVER watched a single episode of any drama that impacted me like this. Yes, that's compared to the biggies that have been discussed up and down like Better Call Saul, Ozark, etc. Maybe it's still fresh since I just watched it but holy shit.

All-star cast including many cameos that just kills it. American families.... lol. More accurately, Italian-American families.

Tx, will check it out. I've never been big on comedies but since I'm starting to watch some, might as well try this too.

Anyone watch e5 of Justified Primeval? Why the heck would he shack up w that, and doesn't even add to the story. Ugh, talk about jumping the shark, did he lose his contact lenses or something? It's so ridiculous I had to make a comment.

I am watching it and thought it would be good after the first couple of episodes, but it is fading on me especially after the episode you mentioned. Difficult to think this is going anywhere good.

To be fair, the original wasn't exactly Shakespeare but at least it didn't keep dragging on and on. The antagonist is trying his darnedest to be such a badX but it's not very convincing. It's still watchable for me though despite him bedding that thing for whatever reason went through his mind lmao.

MGM+ is definitely one of the Best Premium channels on cable! Their original shows are fantastic!!!
Watching episode one of this tonight. I love Medieval content!

TXSTYLE · 08-23-2023, 02:03 PM

This is easily the Best series spinoff in the epic franchise that is STAR WARS!

2/3 thru Better Call Saul and am enjoying it. Way better than Breaking Bad. My only complaint is that it needs more Tuco.

100%, I think it's because Vince has more experience writing and it shows. I definitely think that BCS is much better/leaner than BB.

M5Rick · 08-28-2023, 03:26 AM

Aussie Gold Hunters has got my interest now.

It's not even close to being as good. It is WAY, WAY too slow. I enjoyed it. gladded I watched but fuck me it was drawn out. Oh 4 minute still frame watching an ant eat a spilled juice box, may as well have ended the series with "fin" like every 90's cliche student film.

ferminl16 · 08-28-2023, 10:26 AM

I am watching Succession right now. And this is really nice

I agree, way too slow. I had to abandon it. I tried to watch it on two separate occasions over 2 years. I don't understand the hype. It's all good, just not for me.

Tuco Salamanca is a great character! I'm always down for more Tuco

Late to the table but the wife and I just started watching Suits and it's been a great show to watch and highly recommend it!

I agree. Better Call Saul was worth watching but didn't have the magic of Breaking Bad. The story was naturally limited by it being a prequel. I think it did a good job in general but the final episode was boring and there were several like that. There were good moments and bad ones. It did have 2-3 of the shocking moments like BB so I enjoyed it, just not as much as BB.

I wonder if that evaluation and comparison is more of a recently watched bias?
I also didn't think that Ahsoka was very good.

Ahsoka was also slow and perhaps trying to be Indiana Jones and more like anime?

They even spent considerable time with characters essentially debating if Wren should have a role on the show... I didn't see Wren as a good character. She just seemed selfish to me. Granted I haven't watched all of Rebels but I bet that most of the Disney audience hasn't gotten thorough all of clone wars and rebels. If the show expects that as a crutch then that doesn't seem like good writing... I also am not sure that Wrens past should justify current behaviors either way though...

I suppose Andor started slow and ended up good so I will watch the next episode or two
of Ahsoka and see how it goes but it was a disappointing start for me.
