I'm finally about to start this since I had to get through Shadow and Bone and Swarm first, its fictional story but i heard based off of Fleetwood Mac
TV SHOWS / SERIES - Seen any good ones lately? Please feel free to post reviews / feedback / trailers / articles / TV news / all that shit ...
Yeah - apparently one of Leo DiCaprio's exes is one of the co-leads too, and does a solid job. I am not familiar with her work, but was glad to hear that.
How was Shadow and Bone? Another friend is currently watching that and liking it. He was checking out recent seasons of Bosch before hitting up Shadow and Bone.
I haven't minded the first few episodes thus far. Been able to appreciate the "contemplative" vibe with some of the leads. Season 1 was more fish out of water with the jokes and whatnot ... season 2 more serious and downcast with the stress/anxiety. Season 3 ... the stuff with his son at the start. Sort of mirrors real life with the marital breakdown with Olivia Wilde and them sharing custody of their kids. Nate and Keeley being in their new jobs ... but you can tell they're not exactly feeling the grass is greener on the other side.
Watching the show's a bit of a change of pace after focusing on mostly Your Honor, Godfather of Harlem & Mayor of Kingstown in recent months.
Yeah fine ass Camila Morrone, acting wise I've only seen her in 1 movie "Never goin back", i was probably 1 of very few ppl that went to theatres for that but she was a lead in there. But yeah Riley Keough and Suki Waterhouse are the others i know in the cast, just seen the 1st ep and I'm in on this, i'm big on that 70s period, NYC probably had the most interesting scene to me in that period and this is more 70s LA but still interesting to see the sunset strip scene back then.
Shadow and Bone s2 was better than s1 imo, bigger budget and liked the additional world building/new characters.

Roy was by far my favorite character in season two (because he produced the most laughs for me) but I didn't find his relationship with Keeley interesting or care about it, so everyone on-screen being so over-the-top invested in it was an eyeroll for me.
I'm blissfully oblivious to the whole situation!
This headline made me think back to your response, though:

The fantasy of Ted Lasso and the reality of Jason Sudeikis
The Jason Sudeikis-Olivia Wilde breakup changed the way watching Ted Lasso feels.
… The fantasy of Ted Lasso is: What if a man you expected to be toxic was actually good? What if he was honorable and kind and devoted to helping people become better versions of themselves? What if he was the new masculine ideal, showing us ways of being a man that were worth aspiring to? But over the long hiatus between seasons, Sudeikis went through an extremely messy public split from his former fiancée, Olivia Wilde, with whom he shares two children. Sudeikis’s public reactions to the split were neither criminal nor violent, but they were suggestive of more malice and vindictiveness than anything sweet, fictional Ted would ever dream of.
That’s a problem for Ted Lasso, which consistently encourages a slippage between Sudeikis and his saintly character. Just this week, Sudeikis went to the White House in character as Ted Lasso to talk about mental health. In a 2021 GQ profile, Sudeikis posed for the photoshoot in character and told the interviewer that while he thinks Ted is “the best version of himself,” his friends say, “No, that is you. That is you. That’s not the best version of you.”
“It’s the most personal thing I’ve ever made,” Sudeikis said. In the publicity narrative of the show, Sudeikis and nice-guy mustachioed Ted are supposed to be one and the same. So then what do you do when the figure who’s supposed to represent the new masculine ideal turns out to be just another flawed human being? ...
Good point about the over the top investment into Roy-Keeley previously. Seemed like a mismatch to me.
As for actor Brent Goldstein ... shoutout to him. Getting writing and acting credits on Lasso. And writer / co-creator with others credits for Shrinking.
Setting himself up nicely $-wise and when moving on to other projects later after building up his resume.

Truth Be Told
It's a good series but it is a slow slow burn. This season was good but my family and i were able to pick out so many absurdities that it was actually unintentionally funny and by episode 8 we kept saying shouldnt they be wrapping this up?
Superman & Lois
Another great episode and it's surprising with this CW show that even when the teenagers have a side adventure or get into trouble it's not annoying but fun to watch. Emmanuelle Chriqui is still one of the hottest women walking the Earth
The Flash
Better than last week and i actually liked some of the SFX they used this week.
The alternate reality dreams were fun
I know the writers think watchers of the show are supposed to care about Mark and Kion but it just comes off so cheesy and with additional cringey scenes that make it worse.

I have still not really watched this show and I'm genuinely shocked how highly regarded it is. When first announced I thought it would never work. HBO Max seriously needs to take it over and promote it as their own signature series.
It really is...just finished episode 2 and it's hard seeing Jack Bauer curse and him getting his tail kicked...This might be a show that you have to binge because it's hard to have to wait from one episode to the next
Checked out the first 2 eps of Rabbit Hole yesterday. Enjoyed them - just over 40 mins apiece. Enough happening so that you have to pay close attention and not wander off and try to multi-task or check your device(s).
Liked the initial set-up at the bar, and the way the story unfolded.
Going to stick with it.
Enjoyed the season finale for Godfather of Harlem. The series has been consistent throughout the 3 seasons. Good cast of characters. Enough material to work with.
@playahaitian and company,
How good is this trailer for the upcoming final season of Barry?
Easily one of the better trailers I've seen in some time ...

Season 4
Part One
The season pretty much follows the premise of prior seasons with it being independent of other seasons to a point.
This season starts out as a “ Who Done It” with Joe somewhat playing Detective to a number of killings involving the Elite in London.
Each episode is a slow burn, but ends with some good suspense to keep you watching the series.
For the Gay Agenda trackers, there is full frontal male nudity including a “Prince Albert”. There is also some watersports between a WM/BM.
There are 5 episodes that run about 45 minutes each.
Season 4
8/10
Finished watching the 2nd half of the season this afternoon.
Not gonna spoil it, but it the 2nd half took a complete 180 in a different direction that I was not expecting.
It is full of a few twists and will get you to look at the three prior seasons differently.
I checked and Netflix has approved a 5th season which will be the final season. It is scheduled for release in 2024, filming should begin soon.
Definitely looking forward to it.

Reservation Dogs
8.5/10
Finished the first season the other day.
It was way better that what I expected.
The 4 main characters are done well, but the supporting characters were the most interesting.
The dwarf teen rappers are Pure Comedy running around on their bikes and are the neighborhood Gossip cats
The dead Indian from Little Big Horn is a damn fool with his crazy advice.
The Deer Lady is interesting. Hoping there is more of her in the 2nd season.
Kenny at the salvage yard who is a white boy, acting like he is Indian.
The mother, she definitely would get the business for sure. She thick in the waist. Looked her up and she has two sisters who co-star
Sarah Podemski

Hope to get season 2 completed before the end of the year.
Got a lot of shit to get caught up on.
I finished up the 2nd season last night.
The season pretty much follows the tone of the first with the main characters dealing with the death of their friend Daniel, along with scheming to get to California.
The stand out episodes of the season is episode 5 dealing with The Aunties and episode 8 with Officer Big accidentally getting high on LSD.
The usual odd supporting characters continue with the funny Indian Spirit and the Deer Lady.
The season closed out the plotlines of the first two seasons mainly dealing with character introduction/development.
Season 3 is scheduled to debut later this year.
Looking forward to it.
Thanks for the new reviews, all.
@blackbull1970 - Thanks for the You and Reservation Dogs links.
Gonna start the You season pretty soon. Just been wrapping up some other shows of late.
Reservation Dogs has been one of the best shows on TV the past few years. That last scene from the season 2 finale ... played that one back a few times. Beautifully shot.

Finished The Night Manager the other day. Had been meaning to get around to it for years (was released in 2016). It was good from start to finish ... 6 episodes that run approx' 1 hour apiece. Watched it over the course of the past month or so.
The tension works well ... and some of the best scenes involve watching the suspicion and hesitation of characters around others.

For the Barry fans ...
Yeah, been sitting on this one too.
It’s just too much shit out there to watch.
I bet this is the reason why a lot of folks refuse to go back to work. Staying home and watching their shows.
HaHa!!!

It's like a smorgasbord of content.
I try to keep up with TV series, movies & podcasts ... but shit ... even just checking out 0.00005% of what's out there that's overwhelming, lol.

The Night Agent
I'm headed towards episode 7 of this very involving series. The pacing stalls here and there but picks up when it needs to providing enough action and twist and turns that makes me look forward to each episode
Carnival Row
I thought season one was great. The characters, the romance, action and violence was done so right and sharp.
Such strong story threads and I really felt something the more intense things became.
Season 2 started to lose me by episode 8. I've watched a couple of interviews and I know some of the production was effected by Covid19 but did they have to write it and end it in a way that felt forced?
Characters did a complete about face on who or what they wanted. Any real strong story threads vanished. I truthfully only watched the last episode to see characters I didn't like get what they deserved.
Even the redemption stories were weak.
They wrote one end for some characters that was supposed to be a happy ending but it was unintentionally funny.
What a lousy end to a at times great show

Yo that first episode>>>>>
That set-up / plot at the start was interesting!
We are checking out ep 3 later. Just watching NCAA final and The Consultant beforehand. Check out that series, Playa. Christoph Waltz is great, per usual.
Abbott Elementary is the only network TV show I watch and I’m going to keep watching it. Love Quinta Brunson.
@joneblaze
We have now seen 5 of the 8 episodes for The Consultant. Still really liking this show ... and not quite knowing what the fuck Regus Patoff (Christoph Waltz) is all about. I like how the series doesn't get too watered down or complex. Focusing primarily on him and the 2 main staff members. Too many other shows would get unnecessarily confusing and have a bunch of side plots going on ... which wouldn't help the main storylines in that it only runs a bit over 30 mins per ep.
And for those who are watching Rabbit Hole ... we checked out episode 3 yesterday. Best scene of the episode was outside near the apple tree. Good tension. And for those who are wondering where they recognize the "Miles Valence" character from on the series ... he played the FBI agent on the 1st season or 2 of Ozark. He had shorter hair there and was more clean-cut for that role.

The Mandalorian
The celebrity cameos,the Wizard of Oz and Alice in Wonderland feel a bizzare but fun episode
The story is still moving along even though portions still feel like filler i like the fact that they
are still displaying the changes to the universe after the Empire fell
Superman and Lois
Still outstanding and the writers are really on point providing suspenseful moments mixed with moving ones
For a minute i thought they forgot about certain facts Superman but they worked it out. Bu then again maybe they
didnt have to remember the facts since i forgot something about his son's DNA
The Flash
Another wacky episode with TIME consuming relationship boredom AND Cecile giving out relationship advice...... and just like i said they are waiting until the last 5 episodes to actually get their serious tone
back and actually have involving episodes. If you are a fan of Sci FI theres a cool thing that occurs and at least they did a good job
on the look of the villain
