OT: TV thread

[McGarnagle]

Just finished Winning Time. Am absolutely abrupt ending, but it almost makes the show better to end on a down note rather than the triumphant victory. I still wish the show could get picked up by Netflix or someone.

Hearing good things about Netflix "Dear Child"...anyone watch?

Dear Child was extremely well done...short series. Took me day and half to finish. I couldn't wait to see how it ended. German show with sub-titles.

Mini series on Netflix - Fall of House of Usher.

Outstanding.

stumbled upon this by accident, love the concept, interesting show, literally takes place in the interrogation room while other`s observing on the other side of the glass, really intelligent writing, no shoot em` up stuff, simply intense conversation. Netflix



started No Escape on Prime, also intense stuff here

On episode 4...liking. Some good acting. It's Succession pumped up to the max!

 

[LSCII]

Just watched the series finale of Reservation Dogs and what a great show. It ended perfectly and left me wanting more. Sucks that it only got 3 seasons but what a tremendous show. If you haven’t watched it and want to see something unique, check it out. I highly recommend it.

Lioness - Special Ops. So good.

Mini series on Netflix - Fall of House of Usher.

Outstanding.

Generally, I go for comfort food sit-com's (Frasier, The Dick Van Dyke Show, etc.), but I've heard good things and will check.

BTW, Cancelled after one season, I watched the first episode last night. Not for everyone, but impressive,

 

[McGarnagle]

I was stuck at home most of the week so I finally finished Atlanta seasons 3 and 4. Watched the first 2 seasons as they aired but moved and lost cable so never got around to finishing.

Donald Glover has some Borges-esque Magic Realism to his writing. It's hard to keep a show grounded when the trajectory is a rise to fame and success and they have to keep going once they're famous and successful, and some episodes were better than others, but overall it's got to be one of my favorite shows of the last 5 years.

For any Letterkenny fans here - they are ending the show after Season 12.

from bellmedia.ca :

TORONTO (November 2, 2023) – ♫ On the twelfth day of Christmas, Crave gave to me…the LETTERKENNY series finale ♫

After 75 episodes and eight specials, and amassing 12 Canadian Screen Awards, international critical acclaim, a U.S. streaming deal with Hulu, high-profile brand extensions, some beauty celebrity fans, and an official spinoff, Crave’s award-winning original series LETTERKENNY drops its twelfth and final season, on Monday, December 25. The iconic Canadian series is created by, and stars, Jared Keeso, and is produced by New Metric Media in association with Play Fun Games and Crave.

“LETTERKENNY is a pop culture, Canadian TV phenomenon, and while we’re sad to see Wayne and his buds leave our screens, we’re excited that the laughs and ass-kicking live on with Crave fan-favourite, SHORESY,” said Justin Stockman, Vice President, Content Development & Programming, Bell Media. “Thank you to Jared Keeso, and our partners at New Metric Media and Play Fun Games, for bringing Crave audiences into the wickedly funny, small-town Canadian world of LETTERKENNY over 12 seasons.”

As Crave’s first-ever original series, LETTERKENNY premiered in 2016 as a breakout hit and quickly solidified a loyal fanbase. The series continues to be a top-performer on Crave, and, overall, is the most-streamed Canadian show on the platform for the past several years. The series is based on the internet sensation Letterkenny Problems, a five-part series of shorts, which to date has garnered more than 21 million views.

In Season 12, the small town contends with a comedy night at Modean’s, a country music hit, the Degens’ bad influence, a new nightclub, and an encore at the Ag Hall. And that’s just for starters.

LOL I was expecting this. The last scene was the only thing bad. Too bad but like you really liked it.

I really liked that show. Shame it was cancelled.

I'm going to stick with it for a bit. If it gets too tedious and soap opera, I'll move along.

 

[PlayMakers]

I watched the first season of The Bear on Hulu. Honestly didn't think I was going to like it, I'm not a foody or anything, but I ended up really enjoying it.
