Felt the exact same way.

Don't Look Up falls in line with my theory of star studded cast for a non blockbuster movie = bad. Granted, DLU wasn't as bad as many others that meet that criteria.

just watched the first episode its really good so far - much better than Yellowstone.

Yea confirmed the smart TV version of the app (which I hadn't used before) looks much much better than PS4

I'm sure I'm late to the party, but Moonbase 8 on Showtime is prettyyy, prettyyyy good.

I'm enjoying Landscapers on HBO Max so far (2 eps in). It's an odd show, feels similar to the TV version of Fargo to me in style and tone. The acting is very good.

Similar to Fargo because the main guy played in a season of Fargo. Yea it's a strange show, supposedly true, but its only 4 episodes.

The Alpanist on AmazonPrime is interesting. Absolutely mind blowing what those people do.

I finished the 4 episodes of Landscapers, too boring for me. Waste of 4 hours. YMMV.

New jimmy carr special was great. Alpinist is great. Look up and new jim gaffigan special are worth a watch but don’t expect a transcendent experience.

The Jimmy Carr is fairly funny, but his super annoying laugh that he does after most of his jokes makes it much worse.

Just finished Don't Look Up. My main take away is the Two and a Half Men girl made me feel old

locke and key season 2 is on par with season 1, so if you liked that it's a go. (tho I still have an ep left, so maybe it has terrible ending or osmething) If you've never seen it you can probably tell from the preview if it's something you'll like. The acting is suspect at times (especially the little kid), and there are many mild annoyances with the storyline (the characters do dumb **** when there are way better options available to them), but I still found it enjoyable and it kept me engaged

I'm sure I've mentioned Mythic Quest on apple TV before, but gunna give it another shoutout because I ended up rewatching it because gfs mom randomly decided to binge watch it while we were staying with her and it's really really good. There are a couple episodes that can only be described as "brilliant" and the show as a whole is still great after multiple rewatches (that was my 3rd time through)

I felt like the lack of editing was an intentional part of the message - look at all the BS we choose to wade through while ignoring important messages. The first time they go on the daily talk show is a good example, with the long drawn out makeup/engagement scene. A lot of people said it was far fetched or over the top, but anyone who has been paying attention the last 5 years knows that human stupidity has no limits.

Overall I liked this movie way more than the Internet did. I can't ever remember watching a movie and being so anxious and also laughing so much at the same time. And I will never complain when Timothy Chalamet shows up halfway through anything.

Would recommend watching the recap of Cobra Kai S3 before S4E1. Not really a spoiler, and only applies to the first episode:

Agreed. It's hyperbolic to emphasize the absurdity. I thought it was well done overall, but interestingly, I wrote almost this exact same script about 2 years ago, except mine was not as comical. I was obviously inspired by the politicization of covid-19, and our inability to agree on basic shared science and data.

Whether you like or disliked the film, the point it's making is extremely important imho.

I have a love/hate relationship to this show - think I'm on Ep 6 of S2 - I really like the unique storyline but why do they insist on watering it down with the story lines of lovesick teenagers and mother dating again, etc - just like in Stranger Things. It's like they have a compelling script with the fantasy stuff, then they had to go back and water it down with boring side plots. Is it supposed to be relief from the intensity of the overall plot? At least those parts are pretty easy to +10 seconds through.

Dead Mountain - The Dyatlov Pass Incident (Russian show from 2020) on Topic. I have it as an add-on channel as part of a deal, $0.99/month for 3 months...lots of good international content. I'm two episodes in and it is a truly amazing show so far. Extremely well crafted, the cinematography is as good as it gets, superb acting, writing, etc...this show would appeal to anyone who enjoyed Shadow Lines, a Finnish series which just dropped its second season.

But... it was an avalanche. Like, they figured it out.

Has anyone watched the Norwegian political thriller, Occupied? Have seen the first two episodes and I'm hooked.

Excellent show. All 3 seasons are great.

spoiler alert!!!!!

The Unforgivable is worth watching

I remember it was some people here that likes Cheer, docuseries about cheerleaders. Season 2 will release Wednesday next week.

sweet! season 1 was fantastic
