I never watched season 2 of TD - should I ?

if you're lukewarm on the show, prob not. it wasn't great. rushed and undercooked and didn't tie together all the multiple threads it had tightly enough. however, it had a TD feel and atmosphere, and some compelling characters, so I enjoyed it still.

wrong thread edit.

I wanted to like it, but I could not. Rachel McAdams is hot. I do remember that. 

But I rewatched season 1 a while ago and it's like, kinda classic. 

Ray Velcoro is the reason for watching season 2.

daddario's chestal area is like, kinda classic

td2 is underrated 

it does try so hard to be serious and noir and profound and desperate and grimey...but because of this it has a clunky charm that i enjoyed

lol

patriot s02 went completely off the rails ridiculous, and i think it's better that way. it feels much freer to fuck around with its characters in all kinds of absurd ways and doesn't feel needlessly emotionally heavy handed as before. it's still kinda moody, the charachters are ultimately people, but everything else is just completely absurd, farcical and very often hilarious (the investigation tactics of luxemburg male detective team are just flol).

Season 10, baby!

A Dangerous Dynasty - BBC doc on Syria's Assad clan & recent history.

 

Not quite sure the subject focus is anywhere near tight enough, or critical enough, in terms of international relations. Mrs Assad Jr always gets the interpretative deferment pass, that because "she was a Londoner, she was, cough splutter, civilized", when anyone marrying into a middle-eastern ruling dynasty must surely have a whiff of the Lady Macbeth about them.

 

She smiles a lot for a tyrant's wife too.

thanks

Final episode of Parts Unknown was very somber, Tony kinda looks back on his life as he tours the Lower East Side of NYC. Mostly remembering the 70s; musicians, artists, drug dealers, & a few dives and eateries. A fitting end to the series and true to Bourdain's personality.

RIP

Makes me sad all over again. A great series. 

Get Shorty featuring Chris O'Dowd from the It crowd and Ray Romano is surprisingly good. 8/10

The Leftovers was fucking awesome and left me with a crush on Justin Theroux. Only gripe is the abrupt ending of the final series. 11/10

Fargo 1 and 2 were excellent. I'll be watching the 3rd one shortly. 9/10

Bates Motel starts off slow and has some pretty huge plot holes and bad dialogue, but is still very enjoyable. 8/10

Lady Dynamite is very funny 7.5/10 and The Unbreakable Jimmy Schmitt not so much 6/10

Dark Tourist is watchable but basically a rip off of Louis Theroux. 5/10

new Deadwood movie was set to be filmed there too.

Rewatching King of the Hill because it was recently added to Hulu. Haven't seen it in almost ten years and it's more subtle and absurd than I remember. Funny, timeless, and solid all around. 

Finally got around to watching Ozark. The first season built up nicely to the last 2 episodes and it was flirting with greatness at that point. Kind of abruptly lost interest during the first few eps of S2. Political intrigue just isn't my thing I guess. Or maybe our absolute shitshow of a government is just souring any and all things related to politics for me. I dunno. Might unenthusiastically pick it back up in hopes that it gets better.

king of the hill one of the all time greats for sure.

Reruns of Northern Exposure, I fucking love this show.

ok, i really like it now by the mid of season 2, just hope it doesn't become a slog with those later long seasons.

it's easy, witty (and actually even more than that), often poignant, inventive, homely and just fun. i like how you can just turn it on and off whenever, it's not like those new shows that you have to binge for 8 hours straight and then hate yourself later for doing that. the 90's shouty overacting can be annoying at times, but otherwise it's just what i need.

i really like the choice of photo at the end of each episode when the credits roll, unassuming and very casual slice of some thing that was going on, like some random found photo on the internet, but it transmits that specific mood of the show very well:

The Code.

I don't know if it's because my daughter is autistic and a wiz with computers or what, but I loved this show. It made it even better having just watched Secret City (which was also pretty damn good, thought I love Anna Torv), so a few of the locations were familiar and fresh in my head.

Has anyone checked Homecoming on Prime? New thing from the Mr Robot guy.

Yep. Lush visuals. Kind of wtf is going on here vibe. Amplified by the choice of music which gives it quite a surreal vibe. Odd aspect changes when flashing forward. Short bitesize episodes. Very deece so far (about halfway through)

Smashing through season 2 of the sinner. Bill Pullman is even more broken. Good character. Carrie Coon <3. Will finish it tonight so I can get into S2 of Patriot (S1 was best show in recent yrs imho)
