Ted is very entertaining. 

The parents are hilarious.

Not specific to Peacock, but it's getting really annoying to pay for an app, then have to watch several minutes of ads during the show.  And, yes, I realize that I have to watch ads on regular TV for which I pay for (YouTubeTV), but it seems to be getting worse lately.  I'm watching Lonesome Dove.  The ads pop up at random times; not during natural breaks in the movie.  A character will be right in the middle of a sentence and a 2-minute ad break will suddenly appear.

It wasn’t a home run, but it was decent. I am glad they kind of broke out of the plot blueprint they were in there for the first good bit, and started mixing things up a little. Some interesting plot twists, and I can see why they picked it up for a second season. 
 

This season will be the make or break I think. Writing picks up a notch and it may go a few seasons more. Same level or less and there probably isn’t a season 3.

It disappointedly goes down hill as the season goes on.

I agree. It’s basically Columbo, but she ain’t Peter Falk, and the writing is weak much of the show.

Traitors S2 just started which is kinda like a Agatha Christie show. The Continental is good as a John wick prequel. We enjoyed the Resort. Also on patrol live is basically the old Live PD if you like shows like that.

Enjoyed the first ep more than I expected. 

Fun facts: The mom was Frank's Pretty Woman in Always Sunny, and the cousin is the real life daughter of Shea Whigham.

Were any of you guys a part of the ‘first streaming only playoff game in NFL history’?!

Need to hang their marketing assholes.  

The whole thing was obnoxious as hell. F NBC and the NFL.

I’ve been watching Chucky on Peacock. The original writer of the Chucky movies created the show. It has Gen Z protagonists but it’s the same Chucky with all the profanity. They even bring back the original Andy. It’s not quality TV but it’s something to watch if you liked watching Chucky in the past.

Twisted Metal was way more enjoyable than expected.

I played TM 1 and 2 for hours so I am the target audience. They even manage to pull off Sweettooth into a character that was more than just a gag.

I am looking forward to season two.

Kings From Queens: The Run DMC Story - pretty great watch.

I remember getting ready for school in January of 1984 listening to Big Daddy Griff on Studio 107. As I was putting some mousse in my freshly permed mullet, Hard Times came on.  I had missed the lead-in when Griff told the name of the group, so for the rest of basketball season my best friend and I listened day and night trying to catch that song again.  And we must have bought 15 to 20 cassette tapes at Hastings in Central Mall trying to find who the hell that group was.  A couple of months later, Run-DMC's self-titled album finally dropped and we instantly became the whitest Run-DMC fans in the Four States Area.

So when I say this was a pretty great 3-part series, I may be a bit biased.

Homicide: Life on the Streets, remastered for HD and 4K, will stream for the 1st time on Peacock starting August 19. Groundbreaking show that was the predecessor for The Wire. The Olympics and this are good reasons to subscribe to Peacock for a couple of months.

Watched the first episode of Those About to Die.  It did not seem very good to me.  Visually it was great, but the dialog seemed off.  I love Anthony Hopkins, but he didn't make a very good Flavius.  Hopefully if will get better when the gladiators start killing each other so I'll try another episode or two

First ep of Those about to Die and was disappointed. I am a Roman history buff and like stuff with scenes of regular life . So far it’s not Rome or Spartacus series, especially in terms of nekkid women.

Peacock has some good stuff without commercials. They just dropped all 7 seasons of The Closer. Every ep of Dateline and a ton of true crime shows. The Traitors from US, UK, Australia, and NZ. All of Bravo shows no commercials so Top Chef, BD, and other stuff. All the nbc owned cable channels live but no DVR functions. Some decent originals.

Is it just me, or is Steph Curry's new show kind of...good? Funny cast and Steph's acting as a caricature of himself is pretty solid.

it is good. i’m three episodes in and i haven’t hated any of it. parts of it have been legitimately funny. i’m gonna stick with this one.

also i’ve been using the app to rewatch parks and rec and 30 rock lately, and then we’ve got the epl season back in three days. that’s not a bad streaming service right there.

It happens in cable too.  I was watching The Shining some fly by night horror horror channel and it went Here's Johnny! Are you embarrassed about your erectile dysfunction?

My wife and I enjoyed it. Just finished last night. Several laugh out loud moments in each episode.

I’m curious about when they shot this. There was a reference to hawk tuah in one episode, and that seems too recent for this to already be airing.

My kids have started watching 30 Rock. I forgot how consistently funny that show was.

I signed up for the Olympics. We’ll see if I keep it beyond that.

I went to cancel the service, but they automatically offered me the same plan for $2.99/mo for the next 6 months. So looks like I have it for another 6 months.

My interest level for that Rome show evaporated when I saw Roland Emmerich was involved. 

Also unfortunate that Peacock seems to be giving Laci Peterson's murderer a platform to continue lying about his innocence. New "documentary" 8/20.  Yikes. Hopefully it comes and goes without a bunch of duped dipshits screaming "he's innocent!"

Remastered in 4K HD. That’s good. All the music that kept it off streaming forever is gone. Been replaced by AI singing like on a bad reality relationship show. That’s bad but at least it’s there to see. Hopefully the families of the dead cast mates get some residuals.
