TV SHOWS / SERIES - Seen any good ones lately? Please feel free to post reviews / feedback / trailers / articles / TV news / all that shit ...

I don't see why they felt compelled to make this particular character gay, because this already seems forced. But they did a real good job with Batwoman. So hood luck to the little brother

Bruh it`s the long game these cacs playin...

i bet if somebody did the numbers ..it`s far more black gay characters in movies n tv than white ,,,FAR MORE !!!!!:curse:

See I can't say that cause usually these white gay characters get a whole entire series dedicated to them and they just make the colored friends queer without much thought. But I understand what you saying.

I would really have to research that and honestly I don't want to.

But yeah it's obvious it isn't creative it's just ticking off the boxes in most cases.

I think there are so few male straight black male lead shows...

They could give us ONE.

this one BETTER be good.

But I stand by my rule. If it ain't for me?

I don't complain I don't watch I just make sure to support my favorites.

And if it's black? I try my best to support regardless just off GP.

Looking forward to checking out this series in June. Big fan of the lead's work in years past on Fargo, Reservation Dogs, etc. Happened across this trailer by chance the other day.


Dark Winds is an upcoming American psychological thriller television series created by Graham Roland based on the Leaphorn & Chee book series by Tony Hillerman. The first season will consist of six episodes, and is set to premiere on AMC and AMC+ on June 12, 2022.[1]













 
Started season 2 of Physical, and going to start P Valley's 2nd season this weekend too.


4 episodes into Stranger Things ... enjoying it.


Might also check out the following series later this month. They were both mentioned by the TV critic on the Hollywood Reporter's podcast when he was listing an assortment of shows ahead ...






 
@Helico-pterFunk I ended up finishing peaky blinders, waiting for the film to wrap it up now. Would you say you liked the show overall more or less than Boardwalk Empire?


Pretty good series finale, right?

I have never actually seen Boardwalk Empire. Reason being - did not have HBO, FX. or Showtime in home package until recent yrs. So have been playing catch-up on many shows. Otherwise it would have all been streaming or dloaded for ages. Shows like Barry and Peaky we started yrs after the fact. Now need to take it back for shows earlier in the 2000s and 2010s.


:cheers:
 
For those who have been watching Stranger Things ... the end of episode 4 was excellent.



Well summed up on Youtube by

this episode left me in tears. i never thought about how vecna is basically a metaphor for depression, ptsd, and suicidal ideation. he goes after people who are at their lowest. not to mention the whole episode was about max trying to escape vecna / her demons.






 
Candy
2022

7/10

New limited series that debuted on Hulu.

The series is pretty interesting depicting the bat shit crazy Candy Montgomery dealing with the events leading her to killling and admitting to the death of Betty Gore.

The series is only 5 episodes that run about 50 minutes.

The first episode introduces “present day” Candy and Betty and shows the murder. It then goes two years back showing Candy and Betty and how their relationships are with each other and others.

The last episode is the trial depicting Candy’s version of the murder. When you watch it, keep in mind it’s Candy’s version. The episode highlights it.

Jessica Biel and Melanie Lynsky give good performances with their characters along with the supporting characters. For those that may not know, the two cops played by Justin Timberlake and Jason Ritter are both married to Jessica and Melanie in real life. It’s funny how the scenes play out when you know this.

For the Thirsty, Jessica Biel is made up to look like Candy Montgomery and she actually looks like her. She supposed to look like shit, but she still looks smashable.

Melanie Lynsky (my future ex-wife) if you are a fan of hers, she looks pretty thick thru-out the series. Her outfits make her look frumpy and dumpy for her character. There is one scene where she is facing the camera and you can see how hefty her boobs are. In the last episode she is wearing a short sleeve top and shorts showing just enough flesh for your viewing pleasure.

For the Foot Fiends, there is a scene with Jessica Biel masturbating in a bathtub. She has one foot up on the tub giving you a good view of her foot. Her character wears flip flops thru-out the series.

For the Militants, there is a some interracial between WM/BW with two couples. What’s interesting is this series takes place in Texas in the late 70s, early 80s. Texas back then was a Democratic Moderate state. All that is shown is some light PDA.

One thing that is highly noticeable with the trial, is that it is highly similar to the OJ Simpson trial. You will notice this when you watch it.

This series will most likely get some Emmy and Golden Globe nominations.

Synopsis

Candy Montgomery is a 1980's housewife and mother who did everything right: a good husband, two kids, even the careful planning and execution of transgressions, but when the pressure of conformity builds up, her actions scream for a bit of freedom.

Thanks for the review. This series has been on my radar for a bit. I listened to an interview with her in recent weeks in which she discussed the show, and her production company. I'll see if I can locate the link, as I listened to it in podcast form & share it shortly.
 
@blackbull1970



Here's the Biel interview, if you're interested in checking it out - Biel's segment is shortly after the 33 minute mark ...











 
Blood Sisters

added to the trap if u need it ...:yes:
 
The Boys season 3 : This show is definitely in my top 10 of being the most shocking and over the top. Couple the carnage with characters that are dealing with their own depression and inner demons,which brings the tension and suspense to overwhelming levels. I really enjoyed the backstories in the episodes. Homelander is one of the greatest villains/characters ever created.


The Orville, season 3 episode 1. It was worth the long wait for this show to return .A very soulful episode,with great and involving writing. I can definitely tell they have a bigger budget.
 
yea the whole show is pretty fire to me, u think theres any chance they'll do spinoff show for peaky blinders?

Pretty good series finale, right?

It sounded like there may be a spinoff or more initially. Tough to say now as we don’t have specifics about the supposed movie either. I think they were smart to have shorter seasons too, as with many overseas productions as there is less filler content. And if and when they spinoff, do it correctly. Lots of shows do it well, but countless others are terrible cash grabs too.
 
Anybody bother to check this out or his other stuff? His projects rank high and are popular.

The Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was a former actor.

Netflix recently been putting his stuff up on its service.

Under The Banner Of Heaven
2022

8.5/10

This is a limited series crime drama recently released on Hulu. It’s based on actual events in the 1980s.

The story centers around the Church of Latter Day Saints (LDS, Mormons) and how their extreme views, folklore and interpretation on Christianity affects them.

I looked it up and the story is written by a Mormon. He received support from the LDS and active members. Thru-out the series you will see small details of the religion that people outside are unaware of along with a lot of odd shit pertaining to the religion.

If you watch it, there are three stories taking place…

1. The murder of Brenda and the detectives trying to piece together the clues.

2. Introducing Brenda, her meeting the Lafferty family and events leading to her murder.

3. A brief history of the Mormon church starting with Joseph Smith (Founder) up until when the US Government came in to crack down on the religion in the late 1800s.

The series deals with racism, sexism and religious politics. They aren’t preachy and the subject’s are handled well thru-out the story.

For the Gay Agenda trackers, two scenes showing WM/WM kissing on the mouth. It isn’t what you think but plays into the character conducting it downfall.

For the InCell’s, this series is for you. All the women in the series are with the LDS. If you are familiar with them, women are in a submissive, sub-servant role in that church. They are all treated like property.

If you enjoy crime dramas, you will enjoy this. It is a slow burn series.

The series is full of well known, recognizable supporting characters from popular shows/movies. They all do a good job.

Andrew Garfield (Spiderman) does a decent job, hopefully this will help get him out of the typecast “Spiderman.

There are 7 episodes, 6 are one hour long, the finale is 90 minutes.

Synopsis

As Detective Jeb Pyre investigates the murder of Brenda Wright Lafferty and her baby daughter in a suburb in the Salt Lake Valley, he uncovers buried truths about the origins of the LDS religion and the violent consequences of unyielding faith.

My sister was just tellin me to watch this past weekend. I’ll be adding this to my summer viewing schedule

fuckin with WE OWN THIS CITY on HBO MAX right now.
 
Started season 2 of Physical, and going to start P Valley's 2nd season this weekend too.


4 episodes into Stranger Things ... enjoying it.


Might also check out the following series later this month. They were both mentioned by the TV critic on the Hollywood Reporter's podcast when he was listing an assortment of shows ahead ...







Man! So PHYSICAL is worthwhile then? Dope. I gotta get back to S1. I’ve been super sleep on APPLE series. I watch a few episodes and say I’ll get back lol. I know SEVERANCE must be seen lol

bout to finish P VALLEY S2 premier right now actually.

and this first half of STRANGER is absolutely all it can be imo. They stepped their levels up like Stephon Marbury every season Haha
But getting more in the AKIRA influences and adding the NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET homage plus the Russian spy/prison shit pairing up Winona with Brett at his career best and Hopper with MY GUY from GoT! That Eddie Munson Hellfire Club dude is great haha. It’s just hella enjoyable actors having fun with sick production value and some bold ass writing to stretch all these characters across like a dozen major plot lines and all of them incredibly well executed

when these duff bros get to the big screen… got damn
 
Hacks was outstanding

That finale was EMOTIONAL and well earned.

Agreed re: Stranger Things. Wrapped up the 1st part of the season the other night. The Elm Street homage was great. Liking the new characters they have added too.

Yes, Physical is a quick watch. Love the inner monologue from Rose Byrne.

Good season of Hacks. Also a quick watch like Barry and Physical with 30 min episodes.

1 more episode with Barry season 3. Loving it - and like how they move the characters forward bit by bit like pieces on a chess board. Wish there were more scenes with the FBI agent. He is great and is quite sharp and on the ball.

And started Billy the Kid. @playahaitian check this one out. Has some 1883 vibes about it. Season starts in 1887 and then cuts back to 1881.
 
I only knew of Ms. Marvel because i would see her comics advertised in the Marvel Previews catalog but this is a fun show. Visually stylish and quite involving. If you had the type of parents that didnt want you to grow up to fast you will relate to the character and can we get a real Avengers Con?
 
bout to finish P VALLEY S2 premier right now actually.


I thought they did a good job with the premiere. I listened to an interview with showrunner Katori Hall this past week, and she noted it was important to address the pandemic and incorporate it into the storylines. How it has impacted certain fields and industries, and the varying levels of mask wearing and such. Seeing how they have adjusted the layout of the stripclub. When the nurse returned home from work and immediately bagged her scrubs and showered, and emotionally explained to her guy about the patients she had lost that day. The security guy from the club outside of the grocery store, etc.
