I'm an Arrested Development fan and I see where you're coming from. Both of his characters in these shows are cold and snarky. Bateman imbues a distinct flavor to his characters like he contains the humor of the situation within him but chooses to keep it in. Kind of like what Bill Murray turned into over the years. But different. And not as funny. Restrained is the word I'm looking for.

Your synopsis of Bateman is dead on and I couldn't have described him better...well done.

He's an acquired taste and for most of the reasons you mention, I haven't acquired it yet...lol

Bateman was pretty damn funny in Bad Words, I laughed pretty much the entire movie. Warning it's dark sick humor, if you don't have a sense of humor where nothing is out of bounds don't watch it.

Interesting, I didn't like him much until Arrested Development, now I think he's really good in everything he does. He was heavily involved in the Outsider and that was a good show.

Glad to read I'm not on an island here with Tiger King and that it was way over hyped.

I watched it with an open mind and tho yeah the Tigers and Lions and shit were cool to look at and observe, Joe Exotic and the rest of the cast of characters in the series and the storyline was a bit blah. Like I said worth the watch to see it but definitly not something I'd be saying to friends "OMG you gotta see this Daddy" like my daughter said to me and from some of the reviews a few of y'all made here.

I actually kind of liked the Outsider but once again in the two episodes that Bateman was in, it was the same snarky asshole role he always plays. I get it...its who he is and that is why he is typecast so much in the same kinds of roles.

Bateman doesn't show much diversity all in the roles he takes but hey apparently enough peeps like him as he's a very wealthy dude.

Soon done with Mindhunter. Great show, sometimes teasing too much though.

Next on my list Goliath.

Goliath is one of my unsung very good shows that I've seen the past few years. Not too many peeps know about it cause it's on Amazon Prime which I do subscribe too only because I get Showtime as part of the deal and I'm a big Homeland fan.

Anyways, if Goliath was on Netflix, I'm convinced it would be a huge hit. If anyone hasn't seen Goliatch, you might as well subscribe to Amazon Prime and watch it.

Billy Bob Thornton has never been better as he is in Goliath, other than his portrayal of hitman Lorne Malvo in the TV series Fargo.

Yup no doubt. I'd think there will be at least one if not two more seasons of Narcos on tap.

Another one of those unsung favorites of mine as it's so very well done.

Now if you guys want to see a series that will capture you and keep you hooked tho it's a serious subject, go check out "Incredible" on Netflix.

Very very underrated series based on a tragic true story. I'm not going to give too much away but I promise you, if you give this series a watch, you will come away from it like "holy f'n shit"...did that shit really happen in real life...how could it?"

The acting is pretty phenomenal as well and it's simply a riveting watch!!

You must mean “Unbelievable”.

Watched “Dead to Me” and didn’t like it. Story had drawn me to it but acting was wooden and casting felt like a soap opera, only good looking people need apply.

Band of Brothers is a case-study in British actors playing Americans to perfection. Damien Lewis, Simon Pegg, Tom Hardy, Dexter Fletcher, James McAvoy, Stephen Graham.. plenty of others I'm sure.

Also an amazing mini-series if you haven't seen it yet.

Seriously.

And then Jimmy Fallon rolls up in his jeep, and you're like "get this fake sounding motherf***er off the screen!"

I hope you mean Neverwhere/Stardust/Graveyard Book, and not American Gods.

(I hope so, because if you do, I need to check it out.)

American Gods is great as a book. The show isn’t good, which is very very disappointing considering he’s involved.

But yeah, Neverwhere is probably what it reminds me the most strongly of. NG is great at writing the character that stuff just kinda happens to and he just kinda rolls with it. Richard in Neverwhere is the perfect example. That’s what this show is like. Plus the surrealism.

Unpopular opinion I know, but I actually didn’t love American Gods as a book either. Agreed re: Richard Mayhew, however.

Shit...yes I meant Unbelievable....brain fart....uggg. Great series...people need to watch it
 
Here's another really good series that no one talks about but I highly recommend it.

It's called The Americans. Once again...political intrigue with alot of body bags involved but it has unique premise which is Russians who come to American and pose as a normal suburban family in the Reagan era mid 80's to spy on the USA, when tensions between the Soviet Union and us were still pretty Cold Warish.

If you like that kind of shit as I do, you'll love it and will get hooked instantly.

I completely disliked the American Gods book and have not seen the show. Neverwhere, however, was great in both forms.

I feel attacked. It's my favorite book, period. :laugh:

Anyway, I'm assuming you guys watched Good Omens as well?
