Hongbit Posted February 22 Posted February 22 On the subject, it has been rumored that Vince Gilligan’s new Apple TV series starring Rhea Seehorn may debut this summer. Quote
oblong Posted February 22 Posted February 22 I saw it suggested somewhere that Tony Dalton should star in a Joker movie or series but instead of the dark version they make it similar to Cesar Romero’s portrayal on the Batman TV show. Quote
Motown Bombers Posted February 25 Posted February 25 Over 25 years after it debuted, I finally made it through The Sopranos. I already knew how it ended since it was widely publicized at the time and yeah it did leave a lot to be desired. I'm thinking the next show I'm going to watch that everybody else has already watched will be The Wire. Quote
oblong Posted February 25 Posted February 25 I never watched The Wire but when people talk about the best shows ever it seems that it's always Sopranos/Breaking Bad/The Wire. I finished my rewatch of Better Call Saul. As I said I thought it was a lot better the second time around as I knew the overall arc but I forgot a lot of the smaller details so it felt fresh. The stuff at the end though was boring to me, when we get to Gene and he's working with guys setting up the scams. It didn't interest me. The Howard thing was just as shocking and in some ways worse b/c you knew what would happen. Really that was the end of the show as that is when Jimmy and Kim split up and Jimmy became full blown Saul. No need to linger on at that point as it wasn't about Saul Goodman being Saul Goodman, but about how Saul came to be. But the scene with Carol Burnett where Jimmy/Saul/Gene is appraoching her after she outs him and he's got the phone cord and wrapping it around his hand... that might have been the most chilling in the entire BB universe. What would he have done if she didn't have her medic alert thing? We never saw that character kill. Would he have? Quote

I was in the same boat as Oblong and it got to the point where I just felt The Wire was too old for me to truly appreciate it. I figured I missed my chance. During Covid, I hunkered down and watched it and I learned it was worth being mentioned as one of the greatest. 1 Quote
oblong Posted February 27 Posted February 27 There's just so much to watch it's hard to keep up. I spent the last month or so on Severance so we're caught up on that. But we only have bandwidth for about 90 minutes a day. And my wife has this strange unspoken belief that it's not ok to watch TV before 8 pm. SHe thinks it means we're being lazy b/c "there's always something that could be done". I don't get it. Quote
Hongbit Posted February 27 Posted February 27 (edited) Paradise on Hulu has unexpectedly turned out to be fantastic. They are going to re-release it on ABC in April. Edited February 27 by Hongbit Quote

And I think there must have been some mating with rabbits because I swear I don't remember squirrels jumping like that. Maybe it was genes of the black squirrels. I heard they are more athletic. Hey, can you blame the brown squirrels? Black squirrels are just so goddamn sexy. Quote
chasfh Posted February 27 Posted February 27 If you're not watching The Pitt, you are missing what might end up being in the conversation for greatest medical drama of all time. It can be a little hard to follow and you will miss a quarter of what they say because of the thick medical jargon—closed captions is an absolute must—but there is no show you can name that breaks through with more verisimilitude and humanity than The Pitt. 1 Quote
