This new mini series The Offer seems to be getting good reviews, has anyone dove in yet?

    Just finished S3 of Westworld. Started off quite well then quickly descended into an unfathomable mess.

      mono-stereo the first episode of Season 4 had some terribly clunky exposition dialogue, but man do they do the visuals great. I still like it, but I probably give it a LOT of leeway just because I love how it looks. It turned into a just another scifi-show for a lot of people after they left the park, but I’m ok with it.

        Oh, season 4 of True Detective coming, this time with a new showrunner. Issita Lopez writes and directs everything, and she’s cool. And the combo of Jodie Foster and HBO is certainly promising.

        Title is officially True Detective: Night Country

        “In True Detective: Night Country, from writer/director/showrunner Issa López, when the long winter night falls in Ennis, Alaska, the six men that operate the Tsalal Arctic Research Station vanish without a trace. To solve the case, Detectives Liz Danvers (Foster) and Evangeline Navarro (Reis) will have to confront the darkness they carry in themselves, and dig into the haunted truths that lie buried under the eternal ice.”

          LT42 it’s pretty good. Not great. Could have been 4-5 episodes, but I think it’s around 8.

            Been watching The Bear. It’s on FX/Hulu. Quite good! Does an excellent job of showing how a kitchen is really ran and the acting is solid. Also quite amusing at times. Just 8 episodes so not a big commitment.

            Other than being prone to preachiness, We Own This City is compelling drama and John Bernthal’s performance is magnificent.
            A bit like watching The Wire in a parallel universe with many of the same actors on show. Highly recommended

              It’s ok. Very patchy and feels badly edited; if you had no prior knowledge of the real story you wouldn’t know what the fuck was going on for the first 2 episodes. Please don’t compare it to The Wire though.

                Agreed. Their choice to jump around in time made it pretty confusing. But Bernthal is so great in it. He’s just hilarious. Makes the entire show. And it was nice to see old Wire characters and Baltimore again. Not as great as the OG but I enjoyed it. Will give it another go soon as - like The Wire, Generation Kill, and The Deuce - I suspect it’ll get better when one isn’t so caught up with outcome.

                I feel that way about Shutter Island as well. Watched that recently. Not being fussed with the twist at the end makes for a much better watch. It’s a beautiful film.

                  Yeah he’s excellent as well. There are clips of the real Hersl on YouTube. He looks like a right prick and completely unfit to be a cop.

                      New HBO crime doc. Pretty good! These fucking inbred retards…good grief. Only three episodes released, so not much of a catch-up needed, with three more coming out in the coming weeks. I recommend it. Likely could’ve been edited a bit more, down to say four episodes, but it’s a pretty crazy story so far and likely only going to get more bizarre.

                      And all in on this….

                      Nathan Fielder is a riot.

                      whatever

                      It’s good. Should’ve been a movie rather than a drawn out series but worth a go. Lithgow and Bridges are both very good. Amy Brenneman is always perfectly fine doing her acting thing.
