I'm a little nervous. I hope they don't screw it up. Bosch is an excellent show. There wasn't a bad season, which is super rare.

Yeah it does fall apart there for a bit but then recovers if you gut out that season.

Interesting. I didn't know about this. I read a bunch of the books. I guess I'll have to check it out.

I stuck through the whole series, but it was very repetitive and if you were paying attention you saw the how the series was going to end for like 2-3 seasons before.

Alfisti · 11-15-2021, 11:29 AM

Agree, i was luke warm on it but the wife liked it and I could tolerate it which is better than most of the garbage she wans to watch.

Last night's Curb was great, so many funny bits here and there, and tons of great guest stars.

OkieSnuffBox · 11-16-2021, 09:51 AM

Oh crap, I've been forgetting about CYE that last two weeks. I've only watched the first two of the new season so far. Guess I know what I'm doing for lunch today.

I wanted to like this series, I really did but it's a hard pass for me. Too many subtitles to read, not enough time

. My español speaking skill level is beginner to intermediate on my best day.

Alfisti · 11-16-2021, 04:23 PM

The first one was brilliant, the second one was good but I just CANNOT get into season 2 or 3 of mexico.

Watched the first 3 episodes of Amazon's:
WHEEL OF TIME

Loved it! I have no I plans on reading the Books. Nor if I did, I wouldn't expect an exact transfer of content.
If you enjoy the fantasy genre, you will enjoy this!

KOREA is absolutely making incredible shows and movies. You need to watch KINGDOM.

And now this:

stein_325i · 11-21-2021, 10:27 PM

I know I'm behind, but I watched the first episode of the new Dexter series. So far not so bad, glad to see Dexter Morgan is back and that they incorporated Deb back, although she isn't swearing enough

Very interested to see how the season turns out.

Speaking of Showtime, has anyone checked out Yellowjackets? Great cast and looks very interesting, may have to give it a try.

bosstones · 11-22-2021, 12:17 AM

Saw the first 2 episodes of Yellowjackets. Very much a Lord of the Flies type of story but w/ added drama. I think it'll lose my interest with the way it hops between present and past, though.

Clark_Kent · 11-22-2021, 06:51 AM

Started watching Mayor of Kingstown last week. Solid so far.

Have this recording. Previews look like it will involve some political messaging, but gonna give it a try.

From Wikipedia:

"Mayor of Kingstown follows the powerful McLusky family, power brokers in Kingstown, Michigan, where the business of incarceration is the only thriving industry. Tackling themes of systemic racism, corruption and inequality, the series provides a stark look at their attempt to bring order and justice to a town that has neither."

Actually, someone just copied the description from Paramount Plus' website to Wikipedia:

Over here Yellowjackets comes on right after Dexter. Dexter is really solid, put it this way I stop scrolling on my phone when it's on.

Yellowjackets...wife likes it a lot, i can take t or leave it. There's a solid premise and story there but I just don't like the directing. EVERY scene seems to have sex in it in some way shape or form. I am no prude but it seems so forced, it doesn't go 5 minutes without something sexual and it adds nothing but trying to be edgy.

It's a bit scattered too, jumping all over the place. It'd also be good if Juliette Lewis didn't play a scattered, droopy, messed up piece of work for once in her fucking life.

It also bothers me that it says they crashed in Ontario only to see relentless mountain vistas, Ontario is flat as a tack, like how hard is it to get this right?

Clark_Kent · 11-22-2021, 10:30 AM

I know what the show is about. I read the synopsis before I started watching it. There’s nothing political about systemic racism, corruption, or inequality. They’re not manufactured concepts. They can be made to be political but, in the current environment that can be true with respect to just about anything. In the two episodes I’ve watched there’s nothing that would indicate they’re establishing the predicate to send a political message.
