I rewatched Mare of Easttown (MAX).
I had a general memory of the story but I couldn't remember the details and left me feeling like I was watching it for the first time.
I would hate to label it as a depressing story and lead people to not want to watch it but it did have a bit of a depressing tone...... but gosh dang if it wasn't brilliant story telling!
And Kate Winslet put on a performance that made you believe she was living this life out before your eyes. She was so great in this!!

Should I start Suits? My 20 year old daughter loves it and says I would too.

Definitely should watch it. It's very entertaining and it's an easy watch.

 

[Gally]

Started off pretty good then it got tiring with the same situations over and over again.

Totally agree with this sentiment. There were times where you were just like, "come on. this again" It was like it was a season or two too long as the beats of every show became very repetitive. Still entertaining but lost a little of the freshness.

Just please don't ever expect any lawyer to do anything like they do in this show ever.

I ****ing hate this show for this reason.

Griselda Netflix.

6/10. Just doesn't hold up in the genre compared to shows that have come before it. Sofia Vergara just can't quite rise to the demands of the role. In fairness, the writing didn't do her any favours. Struggled to finish it.

2 episodes in and liking it quite a bit. Tough getting past Gloria from Modern Family but i think she's doing a good job.

We just finished it up last night. I thought it was good. Not great but worth watching.

We did too. It was kinda meh for me. I feel like Vergara miscast herself as the lead... From her physique, even with the prosthetic honker, but especially her portrayal which came across as always running scared instead of soul-eating.

I enjoyed Narcos and Narcos Mexico, so this is qued up for later. At first glance, I am skeptical with Vergara doing such a vicious role. I'll watch with open mind.

I'm a sucker for mob story lines and the yakuza do not disappoint.

Seen Warrior? Three good seasons but appears season 4 is, at best, in question since MAX cancelled the show. Netflix may pick it up.

Got the message that Warrior's existing seasons will be coming to Netflix in on the 19th. Still not sure if they will make new seasons, so ...

Watch this show. It's bad###. It's Bruce Lee's unfulfilled dream project, which should be enough. It's a historical drama about organized crime, mob wars corrupt cops, immigration, and more in turn of the century San Francisco. There are brothels and opium dens. There are crazy kung fu scenes set to crazy Chinese hip-hop. There is tons of violence. I'm talking myself into a rewatch just writing this

Nice. Hadnt heard of this. Thanks. Definitely will watch when and if it hits Netflix.


Short story. When I clicked on what this was about it reminded me of the following story:

I worked Bureau of Prisons for a decade. For a three month span I would always PAT search this old Asian guy every morning after breakfast. Every morning he would steal 5 or more bananas. I would take them. We never spoke. I just took his bananas. Every morning. I was at home watching that old show Gangland. The episode was the Deadly Triangle and it was basically about the Chinese Triads in San Francisco. One of the primary leaders, I won't say who, was in the episode. That leader was this guy I kept taking his bananas from. I stopped taking his bananas. Ha ha

Watched fool me once. I mean decent. The detective was a cool character I thought. Ended OK..
As someone said above, the pickins are kinda meh right now so I am re-watching the Last Kingdom. Liking it as much the second time around as the first

I approve of A Few Good Men. Second best criminal lawyer movie ever. The scene where he got him six months and Dawson doesn’t care is very realistic and I’ve wanted to Cruise’s reaction so many times…

 

[Buckna]

First two episodes of season 2 of Halo are out. Definitely some improvement on the first season, you can tell they are trying to take a lot of the criticisms into account. they’ve changed a lot of the tone and already jettisoned some of the dangling first season plot threads people hated (although brought one in particular back revealed at the end of episode two that people will hate.) You can see some direct parallel’s to the Halo Reach game early on although it’s definitely not a strait retelling of the games story.

Cautiously optimistic they can improve the reception to the show with the new season, fanboys and critics took a dump all over the first season so this season likely needs to really shine to get renewed.

 

[belljr]

I still never watched the F1 Netflix series (still want too) but I guess the NASCAR version is out. NASCAR Full Speed....nice little look at the 2023 playoffs

I also thought it was a notable improvement.

When action shots of spartans training look like a video game, is that good or bad?

I finished Suits this week.
Started off pretty good then it got tiring with the same situations over and over again. The last season was a decent send off.

Netflix has season 1-8, and thought season 8 was a good ending. Just noticed Prime has season 9.

Mare of Easttown is very good, like a vastly improved version of American Rust.

Finished up Bookie. It had its moments but got worse as it went along. Doubt I'll be back for another season unless it gets rave reviews.

Finished today. Really good I thought. Sort of in the “This is Us” genre

 

[jamny]

Only 2 episodes into Beef but I'm really liking it.

That's pretty much the peak of it

Really?

I remember almost giving up on it midway through but stuck it out. It finished better. Overall, I'd give it an OK.

But I was really excited about it early on.

Halfway through and struggling to finish it. I'm glad you're saying it finishes better but it's gotten pretty lame.

First season has a few things going against it for sure mainly that it's slow to get going and you have to suffer through Thomas Jane's hat, but it does end up being pretty amazing.

It took me a couple tries to get it to stick too.

Love The Expanse, but it took me 3-4 times to start it until it clicked. The first season, you're kind of figuring things out as the characters do so it can seem disjointed. It comes together exceptionally well though imo.

I thought the same thing. I love every show on that list but The Expanse is one that I tried a couple of times and couldn't get into it. Sounds like I need to give it more of a chance because I always hear good things about it.
