I guess you saw Squid Game and Parasite? However, you should try the one I recommended earlier for more nuanced acting and also The Worst of Evil if into gang warfare.

I've tried a few shows, Squid game was quite good but yeah in general Koreans like a certain style i find tough to watch.

Maybe it's their speech pattern, they always sound like they are questioning something lol.

Check out Beef on Netflix, was pretty funny. And I'm not one for comedy really. Currently watching Sneaky Pete on Prime, but there's a definite change after the first season.
Copenhagen Cowboy was the weirdest shit I have ever seen!

Just finished watching Wild Wild Country on Netflix. Lol....f'n people/cultists! Sad that they probably accelerated the death spiral of Antelope into extinction.

RickFLM4 · 01-23-2024, 06:34 AM

After a few tries that ended in non-interest, we tried The Bear on Hulu again and found we liked it this time. Weird how that happens sometimes. (Liked and think worth watching, but wouldn’t say I love it.)

Obviously years behind but I am on season 2 of Game of Thrones and I think both the mrs and I are done. Booooooooooooooooooring.

Watched it a few years ago and really enjoyed it.

I'm a few episodes into Warrior Nun on Netflix. Will continue. Interesting to see a teen discover her senses after being quadriplegic and then dying.

DocL · 01-23-2024, 12:32 PM

The AGT Fantasy League is pretty amazing. I usally don't watch the show, but wow is there some serious talent. I don't like the dance cr@p though.

Dude, I don't think you like anything then. Early seasons of GOT is junk? Throw your tv (computer) into the river, man.

It started OK but it has been what, 10 episodes of jostling for position for this inevitable war. The nudity and sex scenes seem forced and just there for shock value for the most part. The Imp character saves it, wonderfully written and acted.

Watching High Score, the video game doco. Not bad, doesn't feel drawn out like other Netflix docos, does a good job of getting to the roots of how breakthroughs were made. Way too much LGBTQS2S propaganda though.

Well, you have a pt about the nudity. I'm a red-blooded male too but ya the nude stuff was a bit hilarious. I actually don't remember but recall that the writing was so sharp for early GOT, the witty banter, how each side schemed, etc, which was better than actual action scenes like the 'Battle of the Bastards', which was quite lame imo.

12th and final season starts Feb. 4

Been wanting to watch this.

Wonder how Jeremy Renner is doing after his accident?

TXSTYLE · 01-26-2024, 08:32 PM

My wife and I will be binge watching this today or tomorrow!

Forevertodd · 01-26-2024, 09:47 PM

You want to watch a GREAT show on Netflix - Violent and Cartel oriented with great story.

Queen of the South

If you liked Breaking Bad - you'll love this show.

tranquility · 01-27-2024, 03:22 PM

Some series we've been enjoying so far:
The Fall
-Gillian Anderson's character pursues a serial killer

Death and Other Details
-a Poirot-like murder mystery

The Bequeathed
-a Korean mystery about a woman who inherits a plot of land from an uncle she never knew but something is up w the village where he came
