Larry and the MAGA hat was brilliant.Watched curb again, that has to be a top 10 episode. I laughed myself to sleep last night thinking about it.

I'm about midway through the second episode. Those two dinguses come off exactly as I expected them to. I think it's been very well done so far. I like that they've incorporated stuff about the general horrors of football, like lining up 18 year olds for their pregame Toradol injection. What a real "worst case scenario" life turned out to be for Hernandez. I'm sure wherever he ended up there would have been some discipline issues and maybe some legal issues, but being drafted by the Patriots put him in the absolute worst place for him to be.Pouncey Bros show up in episode two. Not a good look for either of them.Aaron Hernandez series on Netflix is pretty good. Just watched one episode so far, but interesting.

Finally. I hope that goofy looking **** is as good as the last guy.

Nice, didn't know it was coming back for another season. The first season consists of the best 4K HDR reference streaming I've ever seen.

I binged all 3 seasons of GLOW over the past week. Really good with a great cast who have good chemistry with one another. However, the last 3 or 4 episodes of season 3 started to tank the show hard for me. Many of the characters were starting to become unlikable. There was a fairly big time skip during this time, so it wasn't a great transition for character development. It's too bad because, in the episode before things start to fall apart, they had my second favorite sequence in the entire series. A lot less focus on wrestling overall in season 3.
It might just be me, but season 3 also felt extra 'woke', and that was turning me off.

It's fantastic so far. Haven't read the book but those that have are saying it's a really good representation. Feels a lot like the first season of True Detective.Anyone check out The Outsider on HBO?

The Outsider is essentially a scene by scene reimaging of the book and it is great.

Watched the first Watchmen episode last night. Wow, that was not what I was expecting and I still am not really sure what's going on, but I liked it. I'm not real familiar with the comics, but have seen the movie and noticed those characters in the background on the tv show in the show. Are these all new characters? What's happening here? They showed Dr Manhattan on the TV so I was a little confused.

Yeah i felt the same way when I watched it a week ago or so. And i just watched the second episode last night. The world starts coming more into focus. Although i read the comic years ago and watched the movie I'm not sure on some of the characters. The russian dude, the main girl (night) and the dude Glass have to be new characters i think
I keep almost thinking I know what's happening. I think they're showing alternate history past (well just their world's past) and then post comic/movie future. Night seems successor to Nite Owl. The calvalry seem like people incited by rorschach's action at the end of the movie.

The way they cropped that video is infuriating.

The main characters of the show are new, but some of the originals will pop up. The only thing I can really encourage is to avoid spoilers and enjoy the ride (especially with Jeremy Irons). The work they put in to unfolding the story and tying everything together is incredible. The entire nine episode run is fantastic, but two of the episodes are honestly top five episodes of television that I've ever watched.

I thought it was very good (didn't know Michael Chabon was one of the writers), but also a little depressing.So anyone watch Picard yet?

I wanted to watch it today since I was home sick, but spent literally the entire day watching The Expanse.

Things will become more clear about the Watchmen universe the deeper you go into the series. Each episode explains more of the main plot from the comic.
When the show first came out, it really frustrated me watching the so called "reviews" of the series on Youtube, when the reviewers admitted they didn't watch past the 1st episode. The negative reviews it got were really unfair. The deeper you dive into the show, the more you realize just how insane the efforts were to tie everything together and make reference to the comic.

I had to force myself to stop watching The Expanse for a little bit. Non-stop episodes since I woke up, and I need to see what happens next. My family thinks I have a problem.

Really enjoyed the first episode of Picard. The production values are unreal, and the show feels "big." Which is good. Definitely has me hooked.
Curb last week was great as well. Seemed to be a few minutes too long, which was a first for me.
Halfway through the latest season of Ray Donovan. It's good, and there are rumors that the show will be ending soon. That's probably a good thing, as I don't know how many jams one person and family can get themselves out of in a lifetime.

I will say, just finished it and ended up enjoying it more than I thought, on the whole. I think a lot of that is I've always been a big Rob Huebel fan and think he's hilarious.Just watched the first one. I'll probably continue with it. But that sounds very much like latter-day Childrens Hospital seasons. Some great mixed in with some blah. The early seasons of that show were just fantastic. I don't think the longer amount of time for episode narratives does that type of humor any favors.Can't figure out if Medical Police is worth it or not. Each episode is very hit and miss.
I'll probably keep it going since half-hour comedies are about all I watch these days.
Once you get into the groove, the back half of the season is stronger than the front half. Provided a lot of good laughs, so that's always a for me.
