"Paradise"... kinda watched it half way through once, bodyguard protecting POTUS, sounded kinda 'it's been done too many times'. Then finally finished S1, 1, today. Turned out to be "sci-fi". A little better than expected

"I have behaved poorly. I have behaved bravely. I have behaved bizarrely to some. I deny none of this and have no regrets because I have lost and found parts of myself that I never knew existed," he says toward the end of "Val," the 2021 documentary on his career. "And I am blessed."

"Mobland" - Tom Hardy, Pearce Brosnan, Helen Mirren... wow! Great lineup and S1, 1 was badarse! Gonna be one hell of a series.

Mobs, families and so on in London area. S1,1 could have been a standalone movie!

Violence for the sake of violence OR violence in rhythm with the plot? Trying to get wife to watch. She doesn't like the over the top violence like Warrior. But, she liked The Gentlemen and Tulsa King.

Thoughts?

Not sure she would go for Mobland. But it does have a pretty interesting storyline, so maybe. It moves pretty quickly. And three A list actors

We didn't even make it through episode one before my wife decided it wasn't for her. Combination of violence, sex and language was too much.

BTW - This was the finale.Next up, "1944" it's is a Yellowstone prequel series set in 1944, exploring the Dutton family's life on the Montana ranch during World War II, announced by Paramount+ in 2023, alongside "The Madison" (formerly "2024").

there are rumors that Matthew McConaughey and Kurt Russell could be involved in 1944

Severance season 2 was great. Highly recommend the show.

White Lotus season 3 was good. Sex, drugs, drink, violence at the end, so not for everyone, but writing and acting are great. Perhaps a little slower in pace than 1 and 2.

Planning to see Warfare in the theaters. If anyone has seen it wouldn't mind a thumbs up or thumbs down report. I'll give one after if not.

A bit older series from Australia, actually on Freevee. "Underbelly", ongoing history of Australian mob scene. Each season is a different place or era. Lots of T&A. Lots of violence. But several stories I never knew. I think it ran for seven seasons

White Lotus had a good deal of buzz & I have never watched. Saw S1E1 and was not impressed. Assume it gets better.

It's definitely not for everyone but I have friends watching it so watched it over a couple months. There are some uncomfortable scenes, very uncomfortable, but enjoyed the acting and dialogue. There's a lot of very enjoyable shows out now but some I have found lack great writing.

Can only agree here and season 3 gets even more uncomfortable during a scene but again the acting and writing is great. Not a show for the whole family but good acting and dialogue will draw me in. Feel like a lot of writing has become mediocre lately, not sure if that's do to the sheer amount of content, networks getting cheap with cheap labor, or what.

Saw The Amateur at the theater this weekend. It's an entertaining movie. The tricks that Malek's character pulls to knock off the bad guys are pretty interesting. The believability rating for the movie would have to be approaching zero, but if you can avoid worrying about that, it's pretty good. The one other complaint I'd have is that the previews reveal way too much.

Novacaine. Imagine a mild mannered John Wick that can't feel pain...

Fun for a couple of hours, pretty violent and bloody, but all in fun!

'Die Alone', on Prime. A different take on zombies and the apocalypse. Actually, well thought out. Some nice twists

'Watson' on CBS. Interesting show on the diagnosticians, although the premise is absurdly stupid. That a diagnostician named Watson, who had a friend named Sherlock Holmes, who was killed by Moriarty. In a today setting in the USA

Absolutely no need for that silly premise

Late to the party, but we have been binging Blue Bloods. While definitely not realistic per se, more realistic in terms of the complexity of criminal justice than most procedurals.

My son and I really enjoyed it ... took a little too long to get going, but it was fun ... thought rather than the corruption - blackmail angle they could have just had him convince the CIA to let him join the mission.

Agreed - realize the pool scene was the money shot, but too much in the previews.

Watched first 3 episodes of Andor season 2. They're releasing them in batches of 3 with each batch being about a year of time or so. A couple plot lines tonally a little different but it works. Writing and acting on par with season 1.

Would highly recommend Andor for those who haven't seen it. Yes, it is Star Wars, but the writing and acting are unlike any Star Wars. Top notch.
