Really enjoyed it.

I really enjoyed this.

Can't wait for the next season.

Watched Blue Eye Samurai, Invincible Season 1 and Only Murders in the Building to finish the year.

Still need to watch the last season of Reservoir Dogs as well.

on TV while sitting on the couch and researching my Cuba trip.

My wife is watching this and I’ve peaked at it a few times and it looks good if you like documentaries.

I actually posted a story about this on here. Its about a girl from the Ukraine adopted with a condition that makes her appear like she is still a child. The family thought she was 6 bit turned out she was older.. much older. So they dumped her ass in an apartment.

She swears she was a kid when it happened but every now and then someone pops up like “that girl is a fucking scammer”

Who to believe?

This shit wild af.

I also think she has issues, but they should have been prepared to deal with those issues. Those adopted parents were nuts and never should have a been allowed to adopt.

It was good!

I was saying “Mutha F*kka!” every 5 minutes.

It’s not that any of this is a new to me, it is just hard not to react to it every single time I hear it - every story, every case.

Long story short, they have/had an idea of where to start looking into who really did it, but also, Wayne Williams is incapable of answering questions "Yes/No" so he's stuck being the only culprit.

It's good, I feel like it should be great and I'm not sure what is missing story wise. Maybe it's the constraints of Bass having been a real person. Oyelowo is great, so is Barry Pepper, Lauren Banks, etc..
And Sheridan didn't do his usual over heaping of misery on his characters. I mean there's plenty of conflict and fucked up things but he showed restraint in a good way. Still felt slightly lacking.. but good haha

A Murder at the End of the World - The biggest gamble with big mysteries is whether the Big Reveal pays off. As we watched this, the little lady's interest would come & go. I was pretty solidly into it. So when the Big Reveal happens, we kinda flipped. She ended up liking it a bit more than I did. I was fine with the ending but it didnn't knock me out. It didn't make me feel like I wasted my time but it wasn't anything that I expected.

Fool Me Once - Man, this one throws about 700 different things at you, right out the box. I had absolutely no idea where this was gonna end up. And when the ending finally hits, I was like "Oh Come On!!!"

Martin
Living Single
Wife and Kids
Bernie Mac
Different World
Cosby (sorry yall, this show was so good)
Good Times
Sanford and Son

Can’t help it, these shows were awesome and Black af.

cuz that's 2 different shows

i like they how they really made the effort to stay true to the real story.

Even tho it's a spinoff, Gen V might be a better show, simply because there are more female main characters which keeps the content from veering too far into that middle school white guy humor that's so prominent in The Boys.

I’m sick of TV shows. There’s way too many of them, there’s nothing new that can be done, and nothing will ever touch Breaking Bad or The Wire again anyway.

I’m all reruns and Docs at this point, and the LB doc is great, and it blows my mind that I learned about their music on here back in 02 and am watching their Doc on YouTube in 2024.

First episode was good.

Digging the X-Files/Twin Peaks vibes.

Im interested even though don't know how much hope I have for it. The last 2 seasons were misses, and even as great as the first season was, the ending was ehh

>Digging the X-Files/Twin Peaks vibes.

Reminded me of The Thing at first

Season 2 I think I quit watching halfway thru. It was trash.

I liked S2 a little more than most people, but it had such a Scooby-Doo ending

I could watch her all day

can't believe she's 50 IRL.

met someone who was part of the production set. She could not say the specific name of the show and actors involved, but did divulge a little. Turns out it was True Detective.

Maybe some of it was filmed in Alaska, but I believe the majority was filmed in Iceland.

It's a romantic film that is weirdly wholesome and profound. Rated PG-13. At least half of it is in Korean, despite mostly taking place in NYC. Also a directorial debut for Celine Song--who is a 30 something playwright. I don't like knowing about the plots of movies, so I won't get into it. But if you get the chance to see this, then do it. It's like 5 dollars to stream.

It's basically a documentary on the making of We Are the World.

If you're a fan of that era it's a must-watch.

hoping they release the whole season at once.

it looks like it will be fun.

i kinda fucking love this show. i'm halfway through season 2

Feeling it so far

on Netflix. it's pretty good.

Now watching Gangs of Oslo

another try, I loved his Netflix drama series True Story with Wesley Snipes

Why do people with so much to hide go on reality tv so often?? It makes me leery of most people on reality tv.

I've held off this long because I didn't want it to end.

weekend binge loading…

I'm a pretty big fan of Narcos.. at least the first 3 seasons, and Griselda Blanco is one of the most interesting crime figures ever, but this felt like a swing and a miss.

With Escobar they managed to make him a fascinating character to watch while recognizing what an absolute monster he was. The Chapo series did the same thing, this felt a little too sympathetic (for lack of a better word). Like she did some shit but they also seemed to want to hammer home how hard it was to be a girl-boss single mom in a male dominated business, and feeling bad about some of the things she had to do to achieve that. The way the real Griselda did that was to be a cold blooded certified monster.. so much that she terrified the other monsters. They tried to have it both ways here, and it doesn't really work imo

Pacing was also clunky as hell

but everyone else seems to like it so what do I know lol

I'd much rather watch Cocaine Cowboys.

Because it had been so long.
It made me dislike the series even more. Blown opportunity.

Wendy Williams vs Capote: who you got?

season 3 / season 2

Heard great things about season two.

On Apple TV. 3 seasons. Binged all three.

character. However, the right actor was certainly picked for that role.

not nearly as good as Season 1. I still powered through. It wasn’t terrible, just didn’t live up to my expectations after the first season. Looks like it’s been green-lit for Season 3.

love it

needs its own post

I was very much a Nickelodeon kid in the 90's and even though this focused on the stars that came about right as I was aging out of the network, it was still crazy to watch.

Damn shame the stuff that went down.

fucking yuck!! Looking at the stuff they had those kids doing, especially the girls…how were some of those “jokes” getting green lit???

Only complaint is having to read that small ass closed caption for all the Japanese dialogue.. lol.

I'm forced to not reach for my phone, which is a terrible habit I have

It can take away from the on screen stuff at times though, but I refuse to watch anything dubbed

sad Quiet On The Set doc. This one represents my Nickelodeon years. The other doc starts around The Amanda Show years and I was on Disney then (Kim Possible and Jet Jackson, you know?). But "You Can't Do That on Television," "Pete & Pete," "Double Dare," "Guts," "Legends of the Hidden Temple" and "Dude Ranch" were my prime Nick years. I watched a little bit of "All That" before Amanda came around. I honestly didn't like her. I watched a bit of "Keenan & Kel" and the "Good Burger" movie was my "Friday" lol.

I am sorry to hear that stuff happened in that other doc. I didn't watch those shows though. I was grown by the time the main issue in the other doc was occurring. I hope the kids of my years had better experiences.

the first episode was very good too. I'ma see where this spinoff takes me

I'm gonna let a few eps pile up and check it out. Glad to hear you liked it, though. That makes me hopeful for it.

Really, really strong followup from the creators of Game of Thrones.

I worry that it might be getting a bit of a bad rap because people who've read the books are so obsessive about it (my own post in PTP is notably over the top).

But it really is an exceptional story, a friends drama that turns into a mystery thriller that turns into probably the weirdest (but also one of the most realistic) science fiction stories you've ever seen.

The first few episodes lag a bit, but episodes 5-8 are dynamite! If they get the money for season 2 (which is sadly not a sure thing quite yet) it'll get even better, with some mind-blowing philosophy and the biggest and wildest space battle ever put to screen.

the science and philosophy is historically so bad in sci-fi (with notable recent exceptions)

watched ep one last week, which I mostly liked. nice to know it gets better.

Also a very applicable movie to today.

almost skipped this but glad I didnt. Only 3 eps in but I love it so far.

had no expectations or info and just threw it on. Nice amount of violence, storytelling and dark humor

In the games, you have to explore to find storytelling, so this was good to have it just handed to you freely.

I'm a fan of Viet Thanh Nguyen's books so I was hype this got made into a series.

We're only 3 episodes in but already, I'm not sure of the right way to discuss this show. It's been so bananas so far but in a really sad and frightening way.

You're exactly right.

I thought the 1st episode did an amazing job of setting everything up.

I just finished episode 4.

This show was already messed up but episode 4 just multiplied all that by 1000. Just sick and twisted.

The woman said she couldn't do another Baby Reindeer episode after that. She turned on some Abbott Elementary and Ghosts.

I've come to the conclusion that this show really isn't about the stalking. Once you finish it, I think it becomes clear that this is about what happened to him and how deals (or doesn't) with it. I started off mad at him for continually making bad decisions in dealing with Martha. But we get to see exactly why he was that way.

It was tough to watch at times. But I think it shows how much damage survivors have to suffer through.

The woman who played Martha killed that role.

And here's an update on the real Martha:

They sucked me in thinking it was about one thing. Turned out to be a whole other thing.

"what's a leader if he isn't reluctant"

I love when shows can effectively show us the effect before the cause.

I also really enjoyed the arc surrounding his comedy.

and upset for laughing at episodes 1-3.

and its been a wild ride so far.

It has an Ozark/Your Honor feel but without the violence or darkness

About a rich white dude going bankrupt in ATL but there are some good storylines with thr Black folk.

Which ruined the twist for me, because I never thought I'd watch it, but I ended up seeing it shortly after that and I was waiting for the twist the whole time.

I didn’t like that I could’t appreciate TER more in this film.

and that song during the wedding reception is fire. How did I miss that song for 40+ years of my life?

reminds me of the OJ series

I maintain he is one of the best comedic storytellers out there.
