well, i'll give you season 3 as a big, boring mess...but i liked 1 & 2.

we've started 'black spot' on netflix...and it's entertaining so far.

appears to be a french mash up of a detective procedural + campy horror. it may turn into a disaster but the imdb reviews are fairly good. lots of stuff happening in 4 episodes, but they're holding off on the big reveal.

CONDOR on EPIX and thru Apple TV -- Superb. Its the latest version of the Book - 6DAYS OF THE CONDOR and the Robert Redford movie - 3 DAYS OF THE CONDOR. Also the writers clearly had some experienced script consultants who spent time in the business. R // Jim

It's achingly slow, I got 75% of the way through season one and it was going nowhere, like absolutely nowhere. Could have just been a movie.

Just watched the first Ep of series 3 of Ozark.

What a great show and I am really looking forward to this one!

Season 3, or season 4? I'm really looking forward to season 4. It's going be another cold Saturday, perfect for binge watching the first episodes.

Were just finishing season 2 of Breaking Bad, we may put it on pause to watch Ozark, too damn cold to go outside here too.

Joe Pickett ended up pretty alright.

Joekerr · 01-21-2022, 12:33 PM

Watching Superstore for some mindless (key word is mindless) comedy. There were some parts where I smiled or chuckled at least, so not too bad. Its a fair middle ground for the wife and I, we are not too aligned on what we prefer to watch, so its a good one to watch together.

Just brutal, on paper yeah it's solves that middle ground issue as we are so far apart on what we like a lot of the time but Superstore was brutal, so forced, couldn't get through 3 episodes.

Yeah, can't say I'm hooked but there is the odd laugh I might get once a show or once every two shows, so I'm ok with finishing it off. She was laughing a lot more at it, but I have chuckled at it too admittedly. It is very forced.

I'm honestly pretty sure we first started watching it because we were both sitting there with a nice hot slices of pizza on our lap and I was having to find a common show while she ate...so my slices were getting cold while I flipped through the options. I would have probably settled for just about anything at that point, just wanted to eat. Which is why I now occasionally get her to find the show instead.

I'm just not sure what we'll watch after, feels like we are running out of common ground options.

Season 2 was quite a struggle but they fix it all in season 3. It's a hell of a ride and one hell of an ending.

Yeah, we watched season 1 and 2 of Ozarks. To be honest, I liked Season 1, got bored by end of Season 2, and thought Season 3 was a fair bit better than Season 2, but not as good as Season 1. I did like the ending of Season 3 though.

We'll probably get around to watching Season 4.

Fleabag was excellent, especially season 2, the first episode of season 2 at the awkward dinner is a masterclass in writing, acting, timing, etc.

haha...agree on fleabag being a chick-flick, but it was decent middle ground for me to watch with my wife. i actually enjoy phoebe waller-bridge's dark, self-deprecating sense of humor.

i love ozark, but havent been able to get the wife to bite. will need to enjoy season 4 on my own.
