*ahem*

Mudbound:
Mudbound, which debuted on Netflix and in limited theaters last weekend, is an old-fashioned epic drama about race relations in the 1940s Deep South, adapted from Hillary Jordan’s 2008 novel. The film touches on the evil of the Jim Crow era, the oft-ignored post-traumatic stress suffered by servicemen returning from World War II, and the stifling sexism of the time. Mudbound is beautifully shot, well-acted, and surprisingly sweeping for a movie with a relatively small budget of $10 million; if it’s guilty of anything, it’s perhaps trying to do too much at once, which is understandable given its novelistic scope.

But Rees, whose debut fiction feature Pariah announced her impressive talent as a director in 2011, has a gift for smaller, multilayered moments, like Henry’s transgression in asking Hap to help bury his father. Even before the story gets underway, the audience can recognize how Henry is leveraging his institutional power over a black tenant living on his land. He can’t technically order Hap to assist him, but Henry is taking advantage of a terrible legacy of slavery and subjugation, one he’d never openly acknowledge.

It's actually about a group of young boys who set off on a journey to find a dead body.

The summary is accurate. It's dodint's takeaway that is nonsense.

It’s really an odd takeaway to have about any movie or show.

I've been bingeing It's Always Sunny since they are taking it off Netflix. In Season 11.

Season 10 was overall not good.

Widely considered one of the best, btw

Through 4 episodes, I can say it's easily one of the best mini series I've seen. Ep 3 & 4 were phenomenal. Hawk shows up too.

I’m down to the final two episodes of The Punisher. Jon Bernthal is phenomenal, and this is right up there with Daredevil for me. I’ve enjoyed this more than I have ST season 2, which I also love.

I started watching Arrested Development, going all the way back to season 1. I watched a few episodes here and there when it was originally on the air, but I'm really looking forward to watching it all the way through.

Glad you are giving this a new start. The last season is lacking, but there are some gems in there.

Started the new Punisher series last night. I've heard it's probably the best one done so far.

It's basically violence & gun porn, so you'll probably like it. ;)

Binged up to episode 6 last. Finally surrendered at 2:30am. Just about to resume. It’s nice to have a day off in the middle of the week.

Use ‘em or lose ‘em time of the year.
