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.

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.
