As of now I'll continue watching it simply because I want to know what happens. But it's definitely testing my patience.

You just saved me some time and prevented me from watching this series. Sounds annoying AF.

The Great is great.

I was wondering if there will be another season to follow.

Awesome, thanks! Looking forward to that. For those that haven't seen the first season, watch it!

Just finished catching up on What We Do In The Shadows, Grace and Frankie & Hacks.

It'll probably end up being a 90 minute movie.

Yes!! .....but welcome to the club of 828. I hate those damn passengers. I'm sure I missed it, but what the hell happened to the guy that stole the plain, kidnapped some woman and flew into the storm? Did they ever make it back?

Yeah, this show was terrible in all the right ways.

I should have stopped as soon as "the callings" were mentioned. I thought the show would be about what happened, how it happened, how their lives progressed after, etc.

The entire show could have been based of this and been watchable. They went completely sideways with it.

To continue my torture of people going away and then coming back again, I noticed Glitch on Amazon. I'm curious but scared of reliving the experience of Manifest again.

When can we expect new season of Peaky Blinders and Gangs of London?

Alfisti · 08-24-2021, 09:44 AM

Yeah I am out on Manifest, tried watching another episode a week ago and just hated it, it's rubbish. I did notice the eyebrows though.

Finished The Serpent, it was good, not great, just ... goood....ish. I dunno, seems to be a lot of shite right now, cannot find anything compelling at all. If it wasn't for the wife i'd watch nothing and pull out the playstation.

RickFLM4 · 08-24-2021, 10:23 AM

Anyone else still watching Animal Kingdom? I have no idea what's going on now. TiMSport ?

Grace and Frankie is excellent, sadly only one season left. I tried to get into Hacks but didn't get past episode 3, Jean Smart is great as always though.

Yeah I just watched the third episode the other day because I don't want to give up on it just yet. Invested too much time on this series and overall like it very much. I have a few more episodes to go to catch up on this season. I think it's good enough to watch but not quite as engaging as the previous seasons yet. The whole Smurf thing did this show in I'm afraid and makes me wonder what happened. I wonder if the actress and production crew didn't get along or something.

BTW, this current season is doing a ton of flashbacks showing Smurf's life along with current day stuff with the other characters. Trying to be a "This is Us" kind of thing or something. It's okay though.

Anyway, I'll continue watching it I think though there are so many other shows I need to see as well. Thinking about starting Loki. I finally watched both seasons of The Mandalorian and enjoyed that. The last few episodes of season 2 in particular.

TiMSport · 08-24-2021, 02:31 PM

After reading people's stories of suffering shows that pull you in and force you to watch until the end only to take a shit on you for doing so, I couldn't help but recall an HBO series called "The Leftovers". What a steaming pile of a mess that was. Like a drug though, I kept hoping it would get better and/or make sense but it never did!

Just remembering those characters dressed in white smoking makes me clench my fists.

I don't know why but it got good reviews on Rotten Tomatoes but I thought it was bad.

Captain Blood · 08-28-2021, 10:48 AM

I enjoyed watching Loki, but thought the ending was very disappointing.

TiMSport · 09-01-2021, 12:56 AM

Has anyone started watching Hulu's original series "Only Murders in the Building" with Steve Martin, Martin Short and Salena Gomez? Looks like it might be pretty good.

Watched first three episodes last night, excellent so far, really great characters and mystery and it hooks you in the first episode. Very exciting to see how it unfolds every week, only downside is that there'll only be one 30 minute episode each week!

Just finished season 3 of Yellowstone. Great series so far.

Good to know. I'll definitely check it out. Yeah it's a bummer we have to wait for a new episode each week. I guess we get spoiled with Netflix and Hulu when they sometimes release entire seasons of a show at a time. Remember back in the day when there were no such options?

They probably get more advertising revenue with the 1 episode/week model. I pay extra for no ads with Hulu though.

Turning Point on Netflix. It’s crazy and strange that this docuseries is released just shortly after Afghanistan is taken over.
