You really need to try it again. Episode 3 has a big OMG moment I didn’t see coming.

As I was screwing off last night, the better half started Snowflake Mountain. I was hoping it would it make fun of Gen Z kids a bit more, but I wasn't really paying attention.

Coincidentally we put that on for a while too. Good for some laughs.

I just started "Better Call Saul". Kind of hard to do for me because SWMBO doesn't have any interest in it and I have limited time when I can watch alone.

T0RM3NT · 06-26-2022, 10:52 AM

First two episodes of The Old Man..not too bad so far. But, kinda reminds me of the Bourne series, Diamond Jubilee.

Legendary decision. I'll assume you've already finished breaking bad. BCS is almost as good.

Actually-Saul is EXCELLENT. Enjoy.

Bourne with an elderly guy somehow whipping everyone's ass every chance he gets. Don't get me wrong…I am enjoying the old man. It's just….I had gotten used to seeing 98 pound women doing that, i guess this is a nice change of pace.

Spoiler alert-

To be fair, his dogs saved his ass this last time.

Dogs assisted a couple of times before too.

They saved him on the side of that dirt road too. The series portrays them as ultra vicious and super intelligent. Another aspect of the show I've been enjoying, oddly enough.

If you like that, you'd probably enjoy Mr Inbetween.

Just started The Old Man. Liking it so far. Can't go wrong with Jeff Bridges and John Lithgow imo. We'll see how it goes.

I'm going to check it out. Thanks for the suggestion.

Just finished the 1st part of this season of Stranger Things, the acting and writing seems like a kids show compared to the other seasons.

roadrace · 06-26-2022, 05:21 PM

walking dead. just finished season 4. very very few dead spots (lol) in four seasons, really great. i do wish i could get past how zombies without any lungs can make noise, and without a heart to pump blood, how cells can survive.

So if you're getting hung up on those inaccuracys I think you're missing the point of Walking Dead.

RickFLM4 · 06-26-2022, 08:47 PM

Started watching Dopesick on Hulu yesterday. Good show with very good casting.

We'd need to study zombie remains to fully understand what's going on there, still tough at this point.

You have maybe one season before it gets repetitive and drawn out.

I was going to say that as well. My wife and I watched maybe 5 seasons and it started getting ridiculous with the repetitive story lines. How many times do these folks need to crash a car while driving down a country road with no other traffic only to find themselves in the midst of zombies?

For me it's the whole "Who is the next bad guy" routine. It should have ended with Neegan, after that, the talkers, that's where it went to shit.

I liked Neegan, but even grew tired of that after a while. I think that's when we packed it in.
