Great Show...its a spin off of "The Good Wife" - a show that my wife watched religiously. I watched a couple episodes of that show and it was much better than I anticipated for a network TV procedural drama. It was directed by Ridley Scott and had great actors. Knowing this made me interested in seeing the Good Fight

This show "The Good Fight" is centered around a Black Law firm that made appearances in the Good wife with a bunch of recurring characters in the Good wife. it would be way more popular if they would keep it consistently on one network....it keeps getting jacked around to different networks and streaming platforms.

Very well written and acted, Hilarious and the writers pull NO punches when it comes to Trump, his followers etc. They had one episode with a client that had the "pee tape", another episode discovering Epsteins freaky private island etc. episodes about all the clueless judges that he appointed and all the ripple effects of his terrible policies on the legal system etc. the last couple of seasons maybe went a little TOO Hard bordering on overkill But this season with the new administration in office has calmed down and gone in another direction, introduced some new characters and is real interesting so far.

I didn't like the ending.



Didn't mind the ending. Felt like the episodes slowed down a bit just prior to that ... but picked up again near the end.

Series ending could have been stronger, but overall it was strong start to finish.

There was enough character development, and also they didn't jump the shark or run the show into the ground and make it too make-believe. Too many shows run numerous seasons too far. This one left us wanting more.

It'll be good to see more people hear about the show in the months and years to come. See if Netflix or someone else buys it from FX, etc. Get it to a larger audience.

Asked my mom what she has been watching in recent months, and these were her recommendations -





Party Down is an American sitcom created and primarily written by John Enbom, Rob Thomas, Dan Etheridge and Paul Rudd that aired on the Starz network in the United States in 2009 and 2010. The series follows a group of caterers in Los Angeles as they hope to make it in Hollywood.

Starz canceled Party Down on June 30, 2010. While the show was warmly received by critics, its Nielsen ratings were very low. Losing Jane Lynch to Glee as well as Adam Scott to Parks and Recreation were believed to be additional factors in the decision to end the series.[1] As of 2021, a revival of the series is in development.

One of these ones - I'm not sure which version - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professor_T.


******************




Luther is a British psychological crime drama television series starring Idris Elba as DCI John Luther and Ruth Wilson as Alice Morgan,[1] written by Neil Cross. The first series is composed of six episodes which ran in May and June 2010. A second series of four episodes aired on BBC One in June and July 2011, and a third was commissioned in 2012 composed of four episodes which aired in July 2013.[2] A two-episode fourth series was broadcast in December 2015, and a fifth series of four episodes premiered on 1 January 2019.[3] BBC Studios handles the distribution.[4]

Elba has been a awarded a Critics' Choice Television Award, Golden Globe Award, and Screen Actors Guild Award for his performance as John Luther.[5][6] The series has also received eleven Primetime Emmy Award nominations in various categories, including four nominations of Elba for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries or Movie.

The White Lotus is an American satire comedy-drama television miniseries created, written and directed by Mike White that premiered on HBO on July 11, 2021.[3][4] The series was greenlit in October 2020 and filmed in Hawaii in late 2020. Featuring an ensemble cast, the six-episode miniseries focuses on the lives of the staff and guests at a Hawaiian resort over the course of a week. It has received positive reviews from critics.


*****************


Ferry (Netflix) is a slightly random, but very entertaining prequel out of Belgium that peels back the layers of Undercover, Netflix's hit series about drug enforcement agents who pose as a couple at a Belgian campground in order to ensnare ..

I stumbled onto White Lotus...

Mama H-Funk has eclectic tastes and is very smart.

I was going to start a discussion on here on that show...

It's....different

The display of white privilege white anger white guilt and class within and without and racism class gender.

It's CRAZY. I like NO ONE on this show but have watched every episode as soon as it drops including the behind the scenes

I am still not even sure that it is actually even GOOD!

But it is intriguing as f*ck.

Thanks Playa - glad you have been able to check it out as well. I checked out the 1st episode & have the others saved. Thought it was pretty good.

She checked out the premiere & was like - "Check it out, lemme know what you think ..."

Some interesting side notes ...


- It's already been renewed for a 2nd season

- Apparently it was short notice ... greenlight & filmed in the 4th quarter of 2020

- They were able to keep it safe ... cast & crew at location

- Mike White wrote the screenplays for School of Rock, Nacho Libre, etc.

- He's also a reality TV junkie ... he's been a contestant on Survivor, Amazing Race ... saw him years back on Survivor. Nerdy, smart dude.

In August 2021, the series was renewed for a second season which would focus on a different group of travelers during their stay at another White Lotus property.[5]

Was away from tv shows for a couple weeks since i've been a hardcore olympics watcher since 96 Atl but been back on my regular tv show consumption. Some of my shows just ended like The Chi, Black Monday, Blindspotting, Dave but I got a lot of shows returning or new for August. The returning shows I'm watching are Godfather of Harlem, Stargirl, Titans, Awkwafina is Nora from Queens, final season of TWD to go along with Power book 3, animal kingdom from July. New shows I have in August are What If, Nine Perfect Strangers, Heels

Looking forward to checking out Heels. Listened to a few early reviews on podcasts this past week.

You have a good line-up of shows in your rotation.

how were the early reviews?



They were positive. Said they were on board to see where the story goes, and where they take the characters. Interesting hearing the reviews from the media, as they often get the screeners early & can't say too much to avoid spoilers. So they can't reveal too much.

8.5/10

This mofo is on point.

I went into it thinking how the fuck they gonna stretch this concept out to a series, I thought that it would seem better if it was a 2 hour movie. But they pulled it off right.

I'm not going to give any spoilers, just some general info.

The series is from Belgium and Netflix has it dubbed in English. It is only 6 episodes at 40 minutes and you can binge it one afternoon.

The SHTF 5 minutes into episode one and proceeds from there. All the major characters are introduced in episode 1. Episodes 2 thru 6 is character development and they do it with quick flashback stories of them just before boarding the flight. They only do a handful of passengers, they will do the rest in later seasons.

All the passengers and crews have prior drama which affects their behavior and performance. The quick flashbacks give you a general perspective on their characters.

If you like a lot of suspense, check it out.

Synopsis

When the sun starts to kill everything in its path, a plane full of passengers must travel at night in attempt to escape its destructive power and find some place safe.

Heels


Heels is a story about the men and women who chase their dreams in the world of small town pro wrestling. Set in a close-knit Georgia community, it follows a family-owned wrestling promotion as two brothers and rivals, Jack Spade and Ace Spade, war over their late father’s legacy. In the ring, somebody must play the good guy and somebody must play their nemesis, the heel. But in the real world, those characters can be hard to live up to — or hard to leave behind.

I'm loving the pacing,action, camaraderie of the team,and look of season 3.
Not fulling buying into the path Batman has taken though.

The Batman gonna be revealed to be on something...

That "let's have breakfast" line sealed it.

And how did he survive? How could Jason KNOW Joker would be active and do that to him and prep to fake his own death?

It all don't make sense.

It's deeper.

It better be.

He manufactured and took the Joker serum. Hence his crazed behavior.
