My mom emailed me and asked me to save the current season of Slow Horses. She really liked the previous seasons.


She's currently watching and really liking the final season of Reservation Dogs, and the first (of 3) seasons of Mr. Inbetween. I'm glad she's enjoying that one, as I'd saved it for her for a few years. It flew under the radar, but a number of us on BGOL really liked it. Definitely recommend it for those looking for something to watch. Best of all ... the episodes are easy to get through with many being under 30 minutes. Quick one to binge that doesn't overstay its welcome with overly long running times or seasons.

JLU, Mr In-between. Atlanta, and now the Bear - absolute masters of 22 to 30 minute story telling

^^^^^
OF COURSE!!!

But that 21 minute one with ads???? Episode 7 that COULD have been an hour EASY.

It was outstanding.

To keep an episode THAT tight and not feel cheated is...

I don't know if this series Is the BEST? Cause all the hype made me wait.

This is something COMPLETELY original. The style the acting the editing the story telling week to week. It's a show I kinda only expect from FX.

Marvel or DC really couldn't do a series like this?

Imagine a cop / detective in ny dealing with all this superhero sh*t week to week and the stress and anxiety and fear and resentment and anger and jealousy the would inflict?

Or a lower level hero juggling his life on THIS more street everyday gritty level?

Or a low level VILLIAN just trying to get by getting hit by heros cops and more powerful villains?
