Yeah, I'm not a fan of such long breaks, for any show.

Finally started Reacher... loved the first episode. This looks like it's going to be a hell of a lot of fun.

It’s a ton of fun. Finished it in two days.

Season two of Bosch Legacy will be based on the book The Crossing (plus other storylines, naturally).

No word on Lincoln Lawyer season 2, although it is clearly setup for it at the end of episode 10. I enjoyed it overall, but it does have some cheesy network TV moments at points in the last third of the season. But worth the watch.

Pete Davidson is also leaving. This will be one of the biggest cast turnovers in recent years. Pete never really settled into sketches but his update pieces were good. He’s on another level of fame now that he’s Kim Kardashian’s boyfriend and would likely be more of a distraction than anything else. Aidy was solid and she’ll move on to better things. Shrill was a great show. Hulu cancelled it (dummies) but it wasn’t because of the quality of the show. Kyle is hilarious but never really found his niche in the show. He was underutilized and misused. Kate will be the biggest loss though her schtick was definitely getting old. She never seemed to take her sketches seriously and was playing everything with her tongue in cheek and practically winking at the camera. She’ll probably have a few starring roles before settling into the comedic relief sidekick.

They couldn’t have listed the names in the same order as the photos?

All these takes are correct.

Decent goodbyes for Aidy, Kate and Pete last night. Kyle was almost invisible. Maybe Baby Yoda last weekend was his swan song.

Wife and I just started Ozark. Interesting so far but we are only like 5 episodes in.

It's never anything more than a mediocre at best Breaking Bad knockoff...

That seemed to be the vibe so far. If it's a mediocre Breaking Bad it should at least hold out attention I guess.

Oh, someone must be wearing a hat, then. I was told The Blacklist was a Breaking Bad knockoff for that reason.

*giggle*

I thought it was pretty good. Not a top tier show, but solid tier 2 entertainment. And, unlike most shows, it really stuck the landing.

Yeah not everything has to be top shelf. Just want something that holds our interest so we can take a break from trash tv and cooking shows haha.

Prehistoric Planet, narrated by Sir David Attenborough, just started up on Apple+.

Started watching Walking Dead.

I'm into it, but would enjoy it much more if they limited the zombie scenes. The survivalist stuff and the decisions they are forced to make is interesting to me, but there are so many zombie scenes that it's just overkill and there's not suspense there...because there's not like "is there going to be a zombie behind the tree?" Yes, there is always a zombie there.

You're going to regret saying that.

I'm sorry. My best advice is to punch out after season 2 or 3. There is a thread here for TWD if you want to read that while you progress through. I peaced out at the end of S6. My Dad who was a huge devotee didn't even finish the series.

Postby **count2infinity** » Mon May 23, 2022 11:20 am

Is The Walking Dead still on?

I quit when the dumb dumb tiger guy showed up.

I somehow made it to season 9. I remember enjoying the first few seasons then hate watching the rest. I don't know how it still has an audience.

There are 9 seasons of TWD?!

It's on season 11. I left early season 9 after a main character was written off.

Negan was somehow both the best thing about the series and killed the series at the same time, imo.

Postby **NTP66** » Mon May 23, 2022 11:28 am

I am honestly surprised by that, both that it made it to S11, and that it's still on.
