Great TV series - What are you watching now?

RickFLM4 · 01-12-2020, 10:17 PM

Just finished the first episode of The Outsider on HBO. Looks like it will be a good one.

iminhell1 · 01-13-2020, 02:36 AM

I tried watching DC's Legends of Tomorrow (netflix, originally on the CW).

I can't take it. I made it a ways in, 10 episodes or so I think.
What a bunch of bumbling idiots. The only reason the series carry's on is because of the incompetence of the entire lineup. If they would just follow through with anything and not have ADHDMA they might be able to sum it up in one season. Nope. Lets string this fucker out as far as we can because we can't think of actual content to air.

Bring back Warehouse 13.

Looking forward to this one too. Ben Mendhelson and Jason Bateman are two of my favorite actors. Should be good.

Watching "World War 2 in Color."

Meth figures very strongly in the first episode. I had no idea they used it with the Nazi soldiers in WW2 to the extent that they did. Additionally, it was sold to the general population over the counter in 0.15 mg doses as a pick-me-up prior to the war. Absolutely insane!!!

I'm watching episode 2 and, thus far, I highly recommend it!!

Germany was crazy with "chemical enhancement". I've read that they also gave their soldiers DNP to combat the extreme cold temps they fought in.

DNP is basically a pesticide, but it's a very effective metabolic uncoupler that raises metabolism and core temperature by a huge amount.

It was actually sold for a very short time back then as a weight loss supplement....until people started developing cataracts....and eventually some deaths.

It has a very long half-life, and people would increase the dose prematurely.....and by the time they figured out they were having issues....sometimes it was too late.

So needless to say, it was pulled pretty quickly.

Saturday night/Sunday the wife, niece, and I binged all but one of the Messiah. We went to dinner last night and the two of them were debating whether because he walked on water, this was the end times. Like, IRL. And is he fake?

YES, HE IS FAKE. Its a damn TV show!!!!

I guess that is a pretty good ad for the show. . .

I endorse this statement

Breaking Bad is arguably one of the best shows ever created.

I finished Messiah last night , I thought the show was very well done and highly entertaining. The last episode was great, and def. leaves room for season 2 . I'm really hoping they continue the series because I am interested where it goes from that ending!!

Flew through the entire season of Afterlife on a flight yesterday. Ricky Gervais is funny as always. Just started Peaky Blinders and loving it so far

Peaky Fuqing Blinders.

You are in for a treat, my friend. And so many names from history and actual events woven in. Masterful.

If I'm not mistaken Hitler was also a Meth addict.

To the other posters that haven't watched Breaking Bad. Watch it!

Cant go wrong with Breaking Bad... I'm currently re-watching all of the Marvel movies on Disney+. Pretty cool to have them all in one place

Stay with it. I’ll be one of the first to dump a show, but Breaking Bad is so worth the investment of time. Give it a couple of more episodes.
