Agreed. The gore and hilarity blend perfectly.

Oh, it's way more than that, the scathing satire is what gets me pumping.

Hoping that they speed up the pace (last season dragged far too much) and wrap up the show, I think its time to close the book on June's story.

We watched Under the Banner of Heaven on Hulu. My wife liked it. I thought it dragged. I'm not Mormon, but it impressed me as very anti-Mormon, but I guess it was just part of the story.

We also finished the Staircase on HBOMax and thought it was good. Gonna give Dark Winds a try once a few episodes are stashed on the YouTube TV virtual DVR.

I started watching the Staircase last week. I felt like it dragged. I got to maybe episode 4. Is it worth finishing?

We got to the 4th episode and are finding the same thing, not sure if we'll continue, so we started watching Season 6 of Peaky Blinders, my wife stayed awake for 3 episodes which is good as she normally doses off early. It's a bit slow but interesting. Will likely finish it tonight.

There is no shocking twist, but I liked it. If you feel it was dragging at episode 4 maybe not worth it.

Staircase looks like a 1 hr doco needlessly dragged out into a 14 hr show.

Resident Evil, what's the premise here, movie or show? Total re-boot or post existing movies timeline?

Staircase actually has two shows - one a documentary (on Netflix) and the other a more fictionalized, based-on-true-story account (HBOMax) that incorporates the story of the documentary being filmed. It may have gone on a bit longer than necessary but I don't think a Dateline or 20/20 type episode would have been enough either.

The new RE is a series rather than a reboot of the exceptional reboot we got last year. Whether or not this is related to that reboot remains to be seen. The trailer seems to suggest the timeline occurs long after the original Raccoon City outbreak.

I can recommend a Swedish series that I believe is available in English.
It is called "Clark", you may have to use a VPN to watch it though.

Prison break is a good for a season or two then just gets stupid. And I mean really, really stupid. As soon as you hear the word "psilla" or something like that, bail out.

The Korean horror thing above looks half interesting if they can act in a non shocked face korean way.

Anyone catch the old man on FX last night? Thoughts? I meant to dvr it but got busy and it didn't happen. I was excited about it when I saw Jeff bridges was in it.

Mosaud1998 · 06-18-2022, 05:34 PM

Just started watching stranger things this week. On S4 now. So far so good. Let's see how season 4 is

HFW003 · 06-19-2022, 12:26 AM

I’ve just watched The Lazarus Project and really enjoyed it.

Premise is good and well acted.

HFW003 · 06-19-2022, 12:30 AM

And, Anjli Mohindra is very tasty!

I caught the first two episodes of the old man. Has good actors and has been excellent tv so far. FX delivers again.
