TV: what have you been watching? - Page 136 - The Lounge Discussion and Review on Literature, Arts, Culture

I thought Fallout on Amazon Prime was spectacular. Binged the whole thing last weekend. Quirky and different, visually appealing and has a great soundtrack that really fits the mood. I liked it so much I am considering watching the whole thing again and I almost never rewatch tv shows. Can't wait for the next season.

Finished last season of Curb.

Even though the style got repetitive over the years, I’m going to miss this show

Curb had run its course imo. I still got some laughs out of it, but the show was a shell of its former self, and the characters definitely started to grate on me more and more as time went on.

Watched Ripley, which I thought was pretty good. It had a few logical inconsistencies, and I'm not really sure the b&w was really necessary. It also had one of the most absurd casting decisions I've ever seen, but overall I enjoyed it.

Seen mixed things about Ripley. Will probably give it a decent shot anyway just on Andrew Scott being in it.

I'm not familiar with him, but he was good in the role. Most of the cast is fine, but they literally cast a woman to play Freddie lol. And not like a gender swap thing...she is actually supposed to be a man, and looks nothing like one. And she's a terrible actress to boot. Apparently it's Sting's daughter, so I kinda get it, but still...

Thankfully she isn't in it that much so it's not too distracting, but it's pretty wtf when she/he first shows up.

I am enjoying Sugar on Apple TV. LA noir detective show starring Colin Farrell. Kind of a slow burn, lots of atmosphere and the primary mystery is really who the hell is Farrell's character. I'm a sucker for noir and for LA so this is right up my alley.
