Boardwalk Empire, yay or nay?  I want to watch Sopranos but I've seen like 10 clips on YouTube that I'm sure are essential scenes, sure I've ruined it already.  I need to find something better to do at work, like working.

 

Pretty damn good.  Buscemi crushed it.

Yeeeeahhhhhh for anyone that started The Leftovers and didn't care for it, I would recommend giving season 2 a whirl. Just finished it and was absolutely blown away. It's...kind of a reboot? Still depressing as hell, but not quite as nihilistic as what came before (I don't necessarily consider nihilism a good or bad thing, though some might get weighed down by it) all while keeping all the great acting and storytelling ingenuity. In fact, it gets even more creative as it goes along. Definitely must-watch television. 

 

Also, Nora Durst is climbing my list of favorite television characters. Funny, direct and a looker too. This scene is the one that got me:

 

 

I cried like a little baby watching this. If you've ever noticed patterns of self-destructiveness or self-loathing in your life, the message in this scene will hit you like a ton of bricks. I don't even think it requires a lot of context to appreciate what's happening here; it's such a self-contained, potent moment of drama that it stands alone.

I'm about 5 episodes into ozarks. Pretty good so far. 

 

Same.  6 episodes in, probably finish it this weekend.  Pretty strong.

 

Spoiler

Trailer park blonde is my favorite character on the show.  She's smarter than everybody in town LOL.

Turn: Washington's Spies is really good. Im always a sucker for history. This isn't quite literal history, but sort of loosely based around some real characters, battles, and locales. Almost has an 18th Century Breaking Bad feel to it

 

Centers around a loyalist farmer, turned spy, who lives in a British occupied loyalist town, with plans to form a spy network, that creates a huge web that starts to cause all forms of nasty little entaglements that threaten to destroy everyone around him.

 

Dunno how they did it, but the guy that plays George Washington eerily looks like the real thing, unwigged and unpowered of course

what's that about?

Ozzy Osbourne builds an ark & stocks it full of bats. He then sets sail down the Mississippi River waging war on casino river boats. Hijinx & hilarity ensure. :)

Started watching The Expanse.  Wow, when did someone teach SyFy how to make a TV show?  Great production values (do they allocate some of their budget to getting on the vomit comet for some of those zero-G scenes?), intriguing story, and a solid cast of actors that aren't household names (except maybe Frank Castle Thomas Jane).

Not sure if serious.

The Handmaids Tale. 

 

Quote

Based on the best-selling novel by Margaret Atwood, this series is set in Gilead, a totalitarian society in what used to be part of the United States. Gilead is ruled by a fundamentalist regime that treats women as property of the state, and is faced with environmental disasters and a plummeting birth rate. In a desperate attempt to repopulate a devastated world, the few remaining fertile women are forced into sexual servitude. One of these women, Offred, is determined to survive the terrifying world she lives in, and find the daughter that was taken from her.

 

Offred is played by Elizabeth Moss, Peggy from Mad Men. Its a Hulu original with only one season released so far.

 

i think it's excellent 3 episodes in.
