Yeah, Brothers really leaned in on the characters, Pacific less so, Masters (so far) even less). The theaters were certainly very different, as is air vs ground, but still ....... even with a high turn over ..... seem like that could actually be a strength in character development.Quote:

Griselda is decent. A few episodes in. Wish they didn’t make Sophia ugly though because she is a joy to look at. Pretty much just Scarface with a woman lead so far.
Just found Loudermilk. Trying to catch up to wife to watch with her.
Oh my goodness, Monsieur Spade on AMC is good. Created/written by Scott Frank, who did the Queen's Gambit, you need to pay close attention in E1 but you'll be hooked at the end of the episode.
My wife thought it was a hokey premise at first - Sam Spade retired in France, but there's a connection with the Maltese Falcon that brings Spade there and she had bought in to it by the end of the first hour.
Just started Kings from Queens: The Run DMC Story
Only three episodes long but great for classic hip hop heads and music documentary fans.
Just noticed “Northern Exposure” is finally available on Prime. Apparently, for a looooong time there were contractual conflicts or something keeping it from being streamed.

I just finished watching Blue Mountain State, and thought that it was hilarious in an adolescent kind of way. I started reading about why it was cancelled after three seasons, and that got me thinking about Alan Ritchson, which lead me to Reacher. I just watched the first episode and loved, loved loved it. Anyone else watch it...maybe the entire series? Thoughts???
The Daily Show on Mondays.
John Stewart is back and he’s killing it.
Cardinal on Hulu. Lead was the mayor in Seattle version of The Killing. Started episode 1 last night, did not go to bed until I was finished with the season.

Reacher season one: 2 Thumbs Way up
Thanks for the heads-up. It’s dark and deeply disturbing, but I can’t stop watchingQuote:

Unfortunately, season two = sophomore slump.Quote:

Looking at the season 2 cast, I can see that missing. Maybe that is why Alan Ritchson is looking to reinvest in a sequel to Blue Mountain State.

Deliciously dark.
Clean, crisp writing and pacing.

Loving the Tourist. Quirky, fun, violent, surprising.
The Capture, currently on Peacock, is outstanding. Two seasons: the first is good, the second just kills it. Highly recommend.

Warning: if you're already paranoid about the future, best not watch this.
Taboo on Netflix. The lead is a guy from PeakyBlinders. Tom Hardy. Pretty good so far, esp 2.

Earlier this year I ripped through the 8-episode first season of this charmingly intense German series.
Nods to Tarantino and Repo Man, by way of Hitchcock.
Fantastic cast and some solid cinematography, not to mention great costumes and production design. I particularly dug the richly muted, yet saturated color palette. Nice balance of humor, action, and intrigue, too.
Second season recently dropped…

Repo Man, Atomic Blonde, season 1 of Hunters

Kleo is awesome, we're watching S2 right now.
PSA: There is a sci-fi MOVIE on Peacock by the exact same name. It is absolutely, positively horrible. Make sure it's the series.Quote:

Agreed previously for season 1; agreeing again for season 2. The fact that it's in German makes it absolutely delicious.Quote:

Bad Monkey had been a lot of fun.

Episode 2 and still going strong. Great show. I like how you don’t need to know anything about the backstory because I don’t. I heard watching the latest Batman movie will help set the story better so need to do that eventually.

I'm not a wrestling fan but Mr. McMahon on Netflix is pretty entertaining.
The Menendez show is pretty dam good too.

I mentioned Taskmaster on another thread, but I'll plug it here, too. I've now watched through season 17 of the UK version (there are 18 seasons so far). It's available on YouTube. It's just good, goofy fun. There are quite a few spinoff series from other countries, too. I've heard good things about the Australian and NZ versions.

Really love shows / movies set in south Florida. The environment itself is almost like a character.
Bloodline is absolutely all time.Quote:

Territory is really good. Complete surprised but got me and I binged it in 2 days
