‘Tacoma FD’ Canceled At TruTV After 4 Seasons
There will no Season 5 for Tacoma FD. TruTV has canceled the comedy series, its last remaining scripted series, after four seasons.

Since Netflix picked it up i'd say it has some life. This had to be hampered by being on TruTv

I'm about to finish Season 4 in my first watch of The Americans. If I knew I'd be seeing Keri Russell's *** this much, I'd have started this a long time ago. Anyway, great series, particularly Russell's acting. At times, she can be cold blooded with this terrifyingly cold look on her face. Wouldn't have thought she necessarily had the chops for it. Color me impressed. Also, really like any scene with Stan Beeman.
They're setting this up to be like the Walt/Hank moment in Breaking Bad where Stan finally learns the truth about his neighbors. Can't wait to see how they do that whole thing.
But my favorite aspect is that the show does not fall into the trap of making the Russians evil, and the USA good. The lines are blurred and its so much more realistic that way.

I really enjoyed The Americans. Great acting all around.
My favorite part is showing how in the terror based bureaucracy of the USSR you would be killed for breaking the rules or not doing your job. But the only way to do your job was to break the rules. Communism is not a good idea

Yeah, I was going to praise this show for being remarkably clear-eyed about who the good guys were and who the bad guys were during the cold war, but now I'm wondering if I watched the same show as others.
Andy Dufresne
Footballguy
Yeah, I didn't find it all that morally ambiguous.
I'm sure the CIA has done it's share of "bad guy stuff". But on a systemic level I think it was pretty clear which side was "worse".

Is this one a re-make or a sequel to the 2019 Ritchie movie of the same name starring Matthew McConaughey?

It's neither a remake or a sequel, but it's a story told in a similar vein.

I agree with Payne in that it started off pretty good, but leveled off quickly. I think I'm 3 or 4 episodes in now and the itch to watch the next episode ASAP isn't really there. I'd like to see where the story goes sure.
If you like Ritchie movies, this one is worth a watch.

The chicken scene was absolutely glorious.
While not a "funny" show, it has a few pretty funny moments.

Good grief - a show based on Fallout?
And yeah, The Americans is great.

Started watching this the other week. After a couple episodes the wife started watching, I summarized what happened and she’s been enjoying it. Halfway through season 2.

First few episodes pulled me in hard. Then my interest tailed. I know when I'm losing interest when I start folding laundry or cleaning the kitchen. Felt like a few episodes got silly. Then the final episodes of season 1 pulled me back in. This could go either way for me I think. I could either binge season 2 in a weekend or stop watching. Ha ha

So much potential for great stories, and the trailers look great. So in!

I just have a general grumble about way too many things in movie and TV needing to come from known properties like this. So my love of all things Fallout is really battling my annoyance of yet another video game movie/TV show. And most are usually crap (based on video games, that is).

Last of us is amazing and is really the only one I've ever watched, or had a desire to watch. Trailer looks legit so I'm pretty excited about it.

really liking season 3, the rambling cut away shtick ala family guy/Ted kills me

finished Masters of the air tonight, I thought it was an amazing series even though it was one of the most depressing shows I've watched in a while. It dawned on me at the end that part of what made Band of Brothers so great was the real life interviews with the men of Easy Company and sadly it hit home at the end of this series when they showed pictures of some of those portrayed in Masters in that our Hero's from WW2 are dead with roughly only 100,000 or so still alive.
I plan to watch the Bloody 100th starting tomorrow (also on Apple TV) for the documentary version of masters of the air.

Wasn't his voice weird in the Spielberg movie too? I think he just talked funny but no one really knew because recording hadn't been invented yet.

Lincoln's voice was described as being "reedy", which means thin, high, and breathy. So Daniel Day Lewis' sound is a likely close example.
Capella
Footballguy
I believe so, yea. I’m sure they made it as accurate as possible, it just really took us back.

I know it was mentioned earlier in this thread, I just finished The Brothers Sun (Netflix) a few days ago - very solid show. For what it was I think it might have gotten a little too sentimental towards the end, but not enough to ruin things. Michelle Yeoh turns in another good performance, she's had a nice run these last few years.

Loved this. Pretty annoyed S2 is not going to happen

There were many really good / gritty martial arts scenes in this series. A few stretched my ability to suspend disbelief choreography wise, but they avoided breaking the laws of physics, which I really hate.

Finished up Season 4 of Justified. Kind of a weak season. I was friends as a kid with the guy that played Colt (Ron Eldard) so that's always fun to see. Patton Oswalt was a poor casting choice, imo. So far, Season 2 has been the best one but I'm also a big Margo Martindale fan. It's a good enough show overall but not something I'll ever watch again.

Just finished it.
I think my mistake was watching it sober. So I'm going to get drunk and then forget I watched it at all.

Okay. Honest review here.
First off I must say I'm old enough to remember Swayze kicking everyone's arse in the first one when it came out. When watching a remake you have to forget the original or it's just gonna be bad. Was this one cheesy? Yep. Was the casting bad? Yep. Were the characters bad? Yep. The primary villain was downright horrible. EZ from Mayans MC was cast and an embarrassment. Who is his agent? Im a Connor fan. I love Connor. Hated him in this role. Way to much. Just bad. The one bright spot, from a performance perspective was Jake. I actually thought he did a decent job. Having said all that. It wasn't a horrible movie. I won't watch it again or anything but it had it's moments.

Sounds like the kind of movie that I'd put on at night when dozing off and not minding if I actually fall asleep during it, and maybe coming back to it.

Sounds just like how I described the Point Break remake. Could have some entertainment valve if it wasn't called "Point Break".

I might just know what I'm doing tonight!
Unfortunately my kids are of the age where they are essentially unaware of the original and enjoyed the remake - honestly, like you said, if it wasn't being compared to the original Point Break and was just a standalone action movie, it was fairly entertaining and also a great doze off to it type of movie.

Yeah, relating it at all to the original is a bad idea.
Though, if they do a series of them and just keep the cheesy cheese that was terrible cheese and turn into a universe of Jake going around saving bars in small town America from the powers that be in the town..... I'm not opposed to it and it would actually be clever in a Sharknado type of way.

When I was instructing a course at my hospital about dealing with "crisis situations" regarding dealing with irate/agitated patients or family members, I put the "be nice" clip up on the screen.
I definitely got mixed reactions with that one. Was worth every penny.

Would Kevin Hart have to play the bar owner that hires him?
