The show did a phenomenal job with the script and pacing. Season 3 was deep af...


Glad to hear it re: final season. Very impressed by his acting considering he’s a relative novice at it, and also (co-)creator. Like JBlaze was saying previously, he’s surprised the lead hasn’t been seen in other big projects for tv or movies.

START UP
Well the show really ended in 2018 but Netflix aired all 3 seasons which were really great with some repetitivenes around the edges.I was semi satisfied with the ending (?) because there was a same as it ever was feel to it but I wouldn't mind seeing a 2 hour movie to tie up some loose ends

GOOD GIRLS series finale
My family and I kept hoping that the series wouldn't end in a certain way.We could definitely tell they were expecting to get a season 5 .It's a shame they won't. Its another reason why I don't dedicate a lot of time to network television anymore.

MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE :REVELATION
I know some people feel He-Man was sidelined for most of this series and it focused on Teela but I love how this series is far more intense and sinister than the 1983 series it was definitely lacking here and there and i agree with some of the things said about Kevin Smith and making another Clerks movie is like beating a dead horse

Just Started Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness The CGI animation is worse than whats in the video games but im into the story and how complex,secretive and sinister the characters are,plus some good kills and action sequences.

MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE : REVELATION

It's funny how Kevin Smith told Netflix that thousands of people were saying they didnt like the show and basically Netflix said we have millions of subscribers who will watch it so who cares

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.

Looking at the trailer and can’t determine what it is.

Is it a dark comedy or on the level of “Blazing Saddles”?.

It looks like it has potential if it is hardcore in its theme.

Mare of Easttown star Kate Winslet on the intense episode 5 showdown, Mare's grief, and possible second season

The Emmy nominee discusses the "moving" response to the HBO limited series, her look (that's a wig!), Jean Smart's on-set injury, and more on EW's The Awardist podcast.

Kate Winslet knows a thing or two about being in a project that audiences can't get enough of.

In the case of her recent HBO limited series Mare of Easttown — which scored 16 Emmy nominations, including a Best Actress nod for her work — the Oscar- and Emmy-winning actress heard a lot from viewers about Mare's personal struggles, including the loss of her son, who died by suicide.
"People really responded to how capable Mare comes across whilst dealing with this extraordinary grief," Winslet says in the latest episode of EW's The Awardist podcast of the "middle-aged heroine" created by Brad Ingelsby. "And for me, that was very, very moving because we really tried to handle the mental health issues that run a sort of steady thread throughout our show... with a really delicate hand, and it was a very fine line... because she is in grief, but she is also depressed. And I think not playing that too heavily or heftily was really challenging; it just had to sit sort of in the pit of my stomach all the time and be, I guess, a quiet simmer. That was very hard and would make me feel daily very sad and sick."

All of that even factors into her willingness to revisit the character for a potential second season — that is, of course, if Ingelsby comes up with a compelling reason to do more.

"The end of shooting we were like, 'Holy hell, we can never ever do that again, so if HBO bring up the idea of a season 2, we've just all gotta say no, absolutely not, there's just absolutely no way we could ever possibly do it,'" Winslet recalls. "And then there was talk of, 'Well, could there be?' when the show was getting such great responses. And, creatively, Brad has shared some very cool ideas. we'll see what happens. But I also have to figure out, can I do it? Could I go through it again? It did cost me a lot emotionally to be her, and I just have to figure out if I can summon all that up again. It was a ride, that's for sure."

Winslet also breaks down the filming of that harrowing fifth episode where — SPOILER ALERT! — Evan Peters' Det. Colin Zabel meets his fate.
Check out our full conversation with Winslet below, where she shares her thoughts on SNL's Murdur Durdur sketch, looks back on her first Emmy win for Mildred Pierce and reveals where she keeps that trophy, describes what happened the day her TV mom Jean Smart fell down some stairs during a scene and got a concussion and broken rib, explains the fine details put into Mare's look — from her hair (it's a wig!) to the tattered shirts and scuffed up shoes — and so much more.

Wife and I started watching SurrealEstate. Its different almost has an Evil type feel to it. But I was skeptical at first with the oh another ghost show on SyFy. It is bit slow at times but they are trying to clue us in on everything. I would like to see more interaction with the other team members and they finally did that on episode 4. Worth a watch especially if you like the supernatural.


The story follows an elite team of specialists at The Roman Agency who handle the cases no one else can — haunted and possessed houses that literally scare would-be buyers away. Researching, investigating, and “fixing” the things that go bump in the night, the team works to create closure (and closings) even as they struggle with demons of their own. Nick Roman (Rozon) is the owner and has gained a whispered reputation as someone who could sell the haunted houses that nobody else could.

What If?

Extremely fast paced and action packed.
Sharp animation with a great alternate Marvel Universe story.
I was worried that it wouldn't have that edge the What If comics have but my worries went away quickly !!
