OT: Favorite Bingeable/ Weekly Show Right Now…

I started watching Man in Full last weekend. The show has a good cast and the first two episodes were excellent but then the show falls apart. More garbage from Netflix. I typically check rotten tomatoes to see if a netflix show has at least a 65. Otherwise I wont consider it. This had a 47.

Dont waste your time.
Best part... that knee twitch before fade to black. LOL.
 
Just started Girl Under the Bridge(?) on Hulu
(Was that mentioned?!) Lisa Marie Presley’s daughter is an actress in it.

We shall see lol
 
Started watching the new version and on episode 4. Pretty good. It's funny though- the main actor- for some reason his face just disturbs me. It is like it is just too fat. lol
Only seen him in THE LAST SAMURAI and JOHN WICK 4. But Hiroyuki Sanada is a Japanese movie legend working in countless classics out there. NO SPOILERS but I Thought he was Bad Ass in this show, along with the actress who plays Mariko and Cosmo Jarvis, who apparently is probably going to be the next big thing in Hollywood.

Cosmo Jarvis is the one who just seems to have a fat head on the show
 
I'm on episode 4 and I'm telling you all, the 'tattooist of Auschwitz' is outstanding on many levels
 


Finally! Filming starts later this year. Out on Netflix TBD.

Looking forward to The Great War on the History channel premiering Monday 5/27.

I thought it was really good, wish they did a little more on Patton and the tank corps. though. They were just a passing thought in the show. Even though they didn't change the outcome of the war, still a huge technological breakthrough for the time.

I have to be more careful when selecting shows and it would be helpful in networks could give the spoiler that Covid ended a show with a cliffhanger but it never came back because of covid.

One fun show- The Glades- really just enjoyed it has a huge cliffhanger that 4 years built up to...never came back
One drama that I enjoyed, did the same thing- The Tyrant.

This is just a warning to do the math when binging- if it started pre covid and the last season was 2019 or 202- be prepared for it to end with no end.

Just saying
 
For those thinking about the new season of Rings of Power. Don't bother. I watched the first episode and hoped for the best. Holy crap it was awful.

 
Slow Horses season 4 on Apple TV starts today.

Nice show with a good mix of action and comedy. I find Gary Oldman hysterical in it.
Just started watching this a week ago.

Pretty good thus far. Don't think it will ever rise to really good or great in my opinion, but I am liking it.
 
Since Marvel is taking a break on Disney +, there’s other shows that’s going on right now that is open to debate on WHAT TO WATCH ON TV. Just finished two of them and looking for something else until the final season of THE LAST KINGDOM drops on Netflix in March.

-PEACEMAKER on HBO Maxis surprising the hell out of me on many levels. (Can’t believe I’m saying this but) John Cena is doing a hell of a job in this role, probably better than The Rock but needs some more roles to confirm this. But he’s playing the hell out of PM/ Chris Smith. The rest of the cast is pretty good as well, esp the guy who plays Murn.

No Spoilers since it’s still going but it makes you wonder GREAT the DC Universe would be right now if they had the right people directing the movies and running the program from the beginning? It’s amazing how Joss Weedon and the DC executives have F***ed up the whole thing and it’s now starting to come back together and be a decent universe. Time will tell.

ALL OF US ARE DEAD on Netflix. Pretty good show. Think TRAIN TO BUSAN inside a high school. No spoilers but this show goes on both ends of the spectrum as it deals with some HEAVY topics to the other side with the Zombie and other stuff. I’d recommend this.

ANYTHING ELSE OUT THERE????
Vikings and Vikings Valhalla on Netflix
 
Watching the Michigan/Sign Stealing doc on Netflix. Very interesting. Only about 90 mins.

I'm half into the show and as of now, I don't see anything that he did wrong. And I hate UM and Harbaugh.

It seems that way, but AppleTV+ releases shows once per week. I know few watch, but there are good quality shows. My wife watched Presumed Innocent the old way and are watching once per week for Bad Monkey.
We watched presumed innocence as well. Very good though I thought the ending was meh.

My wife mentioned the first 5 episodes of Cobra Kai were recently released a month or so ago. I usually rely on this board to let me know. 😀 Unless I missed it somewhere in this thread. I will need to check them out if true.

Bad Monkey is just ok. It reminds me that Vince Vaughn is just not a good actor. Presumed Innocent was very watchable.

Hmmm... Bad Monkey seems very good. You have a Vince Vaughn issue? Some people have issues with some actors.. hate them in everything. Jeff Goldblum for example. Hmm.. Bad Monkey does require "going with it" It's more romcom than a tight mystery-suspense kinda thing. It is pretty high production values.. captures the Keys.

Re: Bad Monkey

I think VV is just fine. He has a “role” and this is it IMHO.

The voodoo stuff….ehhhh…..guess we’ll see.

I travel to the West Coast quite often. Being I usually travel out West on a Sunday I watch a lot of "bingeable television" on cross country flights. Three good recent ones:

Presumed Innocent- Jake Gyllenhall as a DA accused of murder
Bad Monkey- Disagree with some of the above. I love Vince Vaughn and he is really good in the show (imo)
Slow Horses- Not new, but new season coming out this week. Gary Oldham as British MI5 agent
