Thanks for sharing!
Found season 2 to be very emotional as it was intense, and I never worked in the industry.
Ritchies evolution in season 2 was my favorite part, loved the way they developed his character from the first season to the next.
The Christmas episode was possibly the most intense thing I ever watched on TV where no one dies. Jamie Lee Curtis, John Mulaney and Bob Odenkirk were excellent in it.
Simple holiday dinner that was a freight train running off the tracks from the get go. The tension was insane
No shit…Yea no other series, movie, or TV show that I have seen comes anywhere near this one for capturing the all encompassing life style of the business (I am two episodes into season 2).
What I related to most is Carmy’s complete obsession with the business and how he has no work life balance. That was me from ages 21 to 49.

Thanks, I kinda thought it had a Dune-ish look to it. I just watched it not too long ago, I guess he just didn't stick in my memory. OTOH Brad Dourif's twitchy Piter has stuck around, even though Lynch's adaptation is probably one of the worst in film history.Dune (the 2021 movie). Character is Piter de Vries (a “twisted“ mentat) played by the actor David Dastmalchian.
Just started Silo and I'm really liking it. First thing that came to mind: it's a vertical Snowpiercer (the series). Not as much of a class disparity but we do have a "tailie" becoming the new lawperson. So... Groundpiercer: 144 levels deep?Silo (Apple TV+) is good if you like post-apocalyptic mysterious sci-fi. When I say "mysterious" I mean a bit like Lost, where you don't really know all the details of what's going on exactly and there's a long story arc. Silo is not fantasy though (Lost had a lot of supernatural elements), it's more sci-fi.
Speaking of Lost, I've been watching From. It's very Lost-like - even stars Harold Perrineau, who played Michael on Lost. Verdict...meh?
Star Trek Strange New Worlds is as close to the original series as you'll ever find. It's been getting a bit silly lately (crossover episode with the animated Star Trek Lower Decks, and a musical episode this week lol). But episodic, planet/weird-space-thing of the week type show.
Yes there are a number of similarities with Snowpiercer...if you enjoy the premise of that, you'll enjoy Silo.Just started Silo and I'm really liking it.

And I do hope someone decides to run the 4th season of Snowpiercer. It's in the can, as they say and for all its flaws I still like it and want to see what happens next.
Lynch’s Dune had some great visuals and atmosphere. I enjoyed Dourif’s portrayal.Thanks, I kinda thought it had a Dune-ish look to it.

I was disappointed with how little show time all the mentats got in the 2021 Dune movie, especially Piter. He was basically a non-entity and non-factor. Same with Dr. Yueh ... when he betrayed the Atreides it had no emotional impact because you barely knew who he was -- and I know the story well as do my children. We were all very disappointed with that ... Yueh's betrayal in David Lynch's version by contrast is devastating because of how the relationship was built up. Somehow a single 2hr 17 min movie was able to pack in so much more character and relationship building than two 2 hr 35 minute films.Dune (the 2021 movie).

I always liked Lynch's Dune myself and never understood the hate. There is an extended version with a bunch of deleted scenes added in on YouTube that makes it even better and adds stuff in. Four of my five children are big fans of Dune (Lynch version, novel, and now the Villeneuve version).Yes there are a number of similarities with Snowpiercer...if you enjoy the premise of that, you'll enjoy Silo.
And I didn't know they had season 4 of Snowpiercer done already...is this one of those "we made it and we're never going to show it for tax write-off purposes" things that's all the rage these days at Warner-Discovery? Maybe if the SAG and WGA strikes drag on long enough they'll be forced to air some of this content.

Overall I thought the Villeneuve film was excellent, this area was my one complaint, and held it back from being the complete masterpiece it could have been. I know Lynch's version is widely hated but he did the mentats and Dr Yueh much better (and with much less screen time to work with) IMO.
horror show. absolutely unbelievable. (edit to clarify, it is believable- which is what makes it so good)Episode 6 season 2 might be the best hour of television I've watched in years
Oppenheimer was pretty not too bad...
Oh! Oh! I think I know this movie... On the Beach?
Ben Mendelsohn is a great actor. I enjoyed it too.Just finished watching “To Catch a Killer” on Netflix and I enjoyed it. I thought Shaliene Woodley was very good in her lead role and I liked the cast since there were actors I was less familiar with.

He was in Bloodline as well which was a Netflix series set in the Florida Keys. He was exceptional in that.He was really good in his role and I wasn't familiar with him.
Yup. Loved Bloodline - except the writing for the last season was truly awful.He was in Bloodline as well which was a Netflix series set in the Florida Keys. He was exceptional in that.
