The really great TV thread

[wco81]

Speaking of this topic, really enjoying Slow Horses these days.

WL was fun and The Last of Us is suppose to be a big deal. Never played the game and got fed up with The Walking Dead so not sure what to think but the guy who did Chernobyl limited series on HBO is the show runner.

My recent tv viewing...

The second season of White Lotus was excellent. Just a wonderful cast and great story lines. Beautiful scenery. 9/10.

Watched both seasons of Industry on HBO Max. It was entertaining, if somewhat a little confusing when it came to the business dealings. Great cast, perhaps a bit overly sexualized for no other reason than to be risque. Not that I complained too much. 7/10.

I'm currently watching Tulsa King on Paramount+. It took a few episodes for me to not think of Sylvester Stallone as Rocky in this role. The story is decent, humorous, and can then be a little dark. It certainly isn't taking home any awards, but it's a fun watch nonetheless. 7.5/10.

Really struggling to get through this season of Yellowstone. My wife and I are a couple episodes behind. It feels a bit over the top with John Dutton now playing a Governor. He would seem to have a number of skeletons in his closet that he'd never get a sniff of being elected. Acting is still good, but the show seems to be running out of steam. 6.8/10

On episode 4 of Andor on Disney+. Very much enjoying this show so far. Quite different than your typical Star Wars show or movie. Started out slow, but it has kept my interest. I have 13 days to get through the season until my subscription expires. 8/10.

Going to get back to Wednesday on Netflix at some point. I've watched a few episodes and it's been a fun watch thus far. I never watched the Addams Family growing up. I was always a Munsters fan.

Looking forward to the second season of Your Honor this coming weekend. Anything with Bryan Cranston gets my attention.

After Andor, I think I'll turn my attention to Welcome to Wrexham.

The Last of Us is getting a lot of hype now.

Rave reviews all around.

Made by the same guy who made Chernobyl mini series.

Masters of the Air, the next installment in the Band of Brothers realm, launches tonight at midnight on Apple TV+. I have been anxiously awaiting its debut. Band of Brothers and The Pacific are two for the greatest series to ever grace a TV. Masters of the Air has big shoes to fill but I am sure Spielberg add Hanks will deliver. Pumped to watch it.

Really enjoyed season 5 of Fargo. Great cast including Juno Temple and Jon Hamm.

Also finished Reacher. It was fine. I don't get the hype for the show. The acting is poor and many of the action sequences are so incredibly unrealistic.

Looking forward to Masters of the Air as well. My nephew's best friend worked on the show for several months behind the scenes doing editing.

The new True Detective is solid.

Really enjoyed The Penguin on Max. The finale though...damn!

The second season of Tulsa King is still keeping my interest. Probably like it a little better than the first season.

Pete Rose documentary was excellent.

Never did finish Monsters, The Menendez Brothers story. Watched 7 episodes. A real difficult and depressing watch, if what they are claiming to be true.

Which brings me to.....

Recently watched the Milli Vanilli documentary that came out in 2023. For an hour and 45 minutes, it kept me interested. What a different time it was back then.

Forgot one...

Shrinking season two. A fun and hilarious watch for the wife and me. Not for everyone, and it's a bit too raunchy and crazy at times. But, it's a good 35-40 minute show to kick back and forgot about the world's problems.

Just started Silo on Apple TV. I've only watched two episodes so far, but it's definitely got my attention. It seems like it could possibly become a little too "out there" for my tasteds, but I'm hoping it does not.

[sportdan30]

Silo continues to shine, albeit a slow burn.

Can't get away from Taylor Sheridan titles I suppose. Land Man has been quite enjoyable, even though the women in the show can be quite annoying. Billy Bob is excellent as always.

Two more episodes to go in Yellowstone. It's time. I have however enjoyed the last couple of episodes.

The wife and I are enjoying A Man on the Inside, starring Ted Danson. Light hearted and pretty humorous.

George and Mandy's First Marriage likely won't last beyond one season. I like it more than my wife, but I guess I just miss citcoms and want it to be good. It's decent imo.

We are getting through this second season right now as well and I love it. Fantastic show, great writing and a great cast. Too raunchy? Gtfoh lol. No such thing.

Just threw the "raunchy" word out there just in case we have some hyper sensitive folks in here. Very doubtful, and yes we love the show. Love all the characters in the show. Just a great light hearted and fun watch.

Finished Yellowstone the other night. Pretty lukewarm finale overall. Not much to say other than I think it could have been better. Not real keen on a spin off show with Beth and Rip, as being rumored.

Starting the second season of Lioness. Enjoyed the first season so I fully expect the same going in to the new season.

I'm not one of those counting the days until the second seasons of Severance or Squid Game, but I'm sure I'll still watch them.

Still watching Silo. I don't think the second season is as good as the first, and I'm a little worried about this show going 4 seasons. But I guess it follows the books I'm told.

Lioness Season 2 is probably better than Season 1 - which might be a hot take but I find that show incredible. I'm in the middle of Season 1 of Silo and it's got my attention so far. We'll see if it continues.
