The tiny curated selection on Apple TV is so much better than the 50,000,000 shitty products on Netflix. Anytime I try to find anything to watch on Netflix, I just end up browsing for 15 minutes and g

Man Paul Walter Hauser is CREEPY as serial killer Larry Hall. Black Bird is really good. Too bad it’s only going to be six episodes.

Burnt thru the 6 episodes in 2 days. Really good series and Hauser has already won the Golden Globe and you have to think he will take the Emmy as well. I can't get over that he plays Stingray in Cobra Kai and then this character. Pretty good range.

It was a challenge to not google Larry Hall while watching the series but I didn't want to be surprised.

Been watching Shrinking and decided to quit. It’s one of those stories where the characters do not speak or act like anyone I’ve ever met.

This is pretty much verbatim what I told someone a few days ago. If it's Anchorman or something that's one thing but I think we're supposed to take this seriously.

Another negative on shrinking is that I can’t watch christa miller. The work on her face distracts from her acting. You have to wonder if there’s a reason she only appears on shows produced by her husband.

I like Shrinking.  Ted Lasso, Scrubs and Cougar Town don’t have realistic dialogue/characters either but they are all fun.  It’s like people forgot who created this show   

The dude that plays Sean is great.  Agree Christa Miller is giving off Jason Stoltz Mask vibes….  Or maybe Richard Kiel?   I dunno.  She looks weird.

Anyone started Hello Tomorrow yet? 

i watched the 3 that dropped.  i like it ok but having trouble figuring out why i don't like it more.  it's a little cartoonish considering some of the themes they're trying to work through.

did anyone watch bad sisters?  we finished it over the weekend, which is no small accomplishment.  i need someone else to have watched it so we can discuss it.

What I'm about to type is 100% the truth.

I've seen two episodes of Shrinking - about 2 weeks apart.  At the end of the first episode, I saw the title card for Christa Miller.

My first through upon seeing that was "well maybe she'll be in episode 2".

Then, I saw episode 2.  No Christa Miller.  Hadn't thought about the show since because I was not all that enamored by it.  One of those "I'll get around to finishing it later".

It was only seeing this thread that I realize now that Christa Miller was in the first scene of the first episode, and every third scene after that.

Holy shit, what a truly horrifying transformation.  I may not watch another episode.

It’s like she’s trying to look like Robert Z’Dar

Yeah at this point the setting has nothing to do with the story. May as well be in Kansas City selling condos in boca raton.  Other than maaaaaybe travel is a lever that gets pulled to some effect- already has a little bit. 

it's your basic monorail-based ponzi scheme.

I've watched the first three episodes of Bad Sisters and am enjoying it. Good music, John Paul's indeed a prick, poor dog.

Edit: I dig Bono's daughter.

We watched Bad Sisters a couple of months ago. My wife really enjoyed it (possibly concerning) and I liked it but not as much as her. I am in on anything Sharon Horgan.

Just how evil JP was did stretch the bounds of believability at times. Maybe I am overly optimistic of our fellow man.

my wife was like, "oh yeah, that's bon jovi's daughter" and i knew what that meant and i know what correcting her gets me so i just left it alone.

Yeah, my ex-wife was like that too. She should've been a lawyer instead of a librarian.

Yeah, between my post and your post...somebody got their shit together at digital media relations.  First two drop 12/2, last one on 12/30.  Meaning, burning another free 7-day trial on Christmas Day night and watching all 6 and canceling night of finale 12/30. Should work out swimmingly even with the bowl game.  

At this point, are they still tip-toeing with another 6-episode arc for fear of cancellation after S.2?  I know a compressed season can feed a narrative.  Great way to end the year though series-wise.  

They're starting to teeter towards putting out too much content, IMHO.  But they know best.  Curious what their big play will be to satiate us all in late Winter/early Spring before Ted Lasso finale drops.  I mean in terms of the marquee series they push, obviously they got lots to work with.  

Too much content? I'm assuming that's a typo.

im still in love with Acapulco.  

love the show- wish i could just binge it... ugh

 

This is why you subscribe for a month and then cancel. Don't get sucked into the week at a time bullshit.

I have those 2 free months from the will smith promo and the only 2 shows I watched are Slow Horses and Acapulco. (Had already seen Ted Laso, and didn't make it past ep 2 of Severance.) Even the promo of Shrinking puts me to sleep.  The definitely need more content on apple+ ... although apple corp. has more money than they'll ever be able to spend so they don't need to care.

Finished up S2 of Slow Horses.  Enjoyed both seasons and the overall cast is pretty solid.   Two things stood out to me, one from each season...

1.  So Sid is a ghost?  Never existed "officially" yet Lamb wasn't aware of that and then they didn't follow up on it at all?

2.  In S2, River was a dumbass for getting tazed by the mom.  At that point, wouldn't everyone be a suspect?

Anyone watched Extrapolations?



Eight interconnected stories told over 33 years explore how our planet's changing climate will affect family, work, faith—and survival.

Huge cast - Marion Cotillard, Meryl Streep, Matthew Rhys, Kit Harrington, Edward Norton, Sienna Miller, Tobey Maguire, Diane Lane, David Schwimner, Heather Graham, Forest Whitaker

Pretty lackluster reviews. Can’t tell if that’s automatically a result of the climate change theme, or if it’s truly just a mediocre series.

I watched the first 3 episodes and thought they were decent but not great. I’ll keep watching because I find climate change fascinating and I’m curious to see how they portray the future in the later episodes.
