I thought it was excellent and it rode the line perfectly until the last episode

It's aight. Take a few of the big names out and replace with some of the cast of say Suits or network procedural and it wouldn't be worth watching imo.

I just finished this last week based on this reccomendation. Excellent. David Simon stuff is just at another level.Check out the David Simon miniseries Show Me A Hero, with Oscar Isaac. Very, very good. Not many people talk about it though.One of my favorite miniseries of all-time, and great from start to finish. Bernthal absolutely killed it in that role.Just watched “We Own This City” HBO miniseries on the Baltimore City Police corruption of the 2010s. It was made by the guy that did The Wire. Def worth a watch.

The Regime. I never truly got a good sense of what the show wants to be from the pilot. Seeing as that’s one of the main jobs of a pilot…not a great sign. It’s weird and Wes Anderson-y but not particularly funny. Still, it’s odd enough that it has my interest and I’ll continue with it. Performances were solid and I love the look of it.

Shogun, through 3 episodes is very good.
To follow up on the convo in the streaming thread, I started watching it DVR'ed from YTTV on my laptop while I was traveling this week. It played in Japanese with subtitles. I get home, watch it on my TV, and YTTV only has the English dubbed version. Gross. So I watch it via Hula via Disney+. But yes, contrary to what I thought, there were still commercials on it. I guess some shows on Hulu have more commercials than others. But at least it was in 4K with Japanese and not dubbed.
Cosmo Jarvis' affected voice (which is something he did on purpose) sounds a lot like Richard Burton.
I need AI to assemble a video of him saying "Broadsword calling Danny Boy, over..." ![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
I am fascinated by anyone who can learn foreign languages. Anna Sawai is from New Zealand, born to Japanese parents. I was expecting her (in an interview with Jimmy Kimmel) to speak with a Kiwi or British accent, but she speaks in a perfect North American English accent despite not spending significant time here. It's crazy how that language learning works.

I mentioned it earlier, but through the Hulu app, it said 4k HDR and played in Dolby vision, but the compression and artifacts overall quality was like watching a DVD, it was very very poor quality. No idea how it could have looked that bad, but the show was excellent. Hopefully it looks better next episodeShogun, through 3 episodes is very good.

Fallout looks great, never played the game, but that looks entertaining.
I've wanted to read these books but have yet to get around to it. Looks like it could be good

So it'll be great for 6 seasons then we'll get a rushed ending? It'll get cancelled after 3 seasons anyway so let's do it.

We watched the true crime doc American Nightmare on Netflix last night. It had one of the more Scooby Doo 'Ruh?!?' moments in it that we've ever seen in one of these true crime shows. Crazy story with enough questions left at the end to keep conversations going. There's a kind of twist or reveal that leaves you saying GTFOH, then they basically don't mention it again.
Looked on Reddit and the conspiracy theories around the case are sweet. @Shyster would love it.

I’ve been watching Dinner Time Live with David Chang on Netflix lately. It’s a fun show. He brings on a couple guests and cooks for them while they all just talk about different stuff around whatever is being made. My favorite episode was with Bert Kreischer and Bill Simmons.

We watched that last week. It was quite a mind ****, especially how things looked in episode 1, then episode 2 started...and I'm like WTF. Then it just got even more WTF from that point forward.We watched the true crime doc American Nightmare on Netflix last night.

The biggest take away I take from all of these things is never ever ever ever talk to the cops about anything. Ever. Get a lawyer and shut up.

Eleven said that there were 9 more months of shooting for Stranger Things S05. This is beyond absurd, and the show isn’t good enough to warrant these absurd gaps (strike notwithstanding).

It's good enough, imo, but I still think it's ludicrous that they didn't have S5 written (not even started!) before S4 ended. Yes, I understand how the unions work, etc. It still seems ridiculously poor planning from all involved, especially when dealing with "child" actors.

I decided to rewatch Birdman somewhat recently and forgot how solid he was in that.

Monsieur Spade was just OK. I love the setting, and background had potential. Always enjoy Clive Owen too. But it just never really got going. Maybe it was the Algerian Revolution plotline, because I just don't know much about it? Only six episodes though, and filmed in a cool part of France. I'd check out a season two, should that happen.
