Josh Charles as Hersl is well worth a mention too.
General TV Thread
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.
EDIT found one:
jonattonyeah Baltimore’s fattest. Look at the state of them.
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.
Thinking about giving this one a go. Jeff Bridges as the lead character sounds good. Anyone dived in already?

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.
jonattonyeah
Gonna give this ago this evening. Looks half decent.
Cheers J. I will definitely check it out in that case. Hadn’t appreciated Lithgow was in at as well, so should be another factor to make it fairly solid.
The acting and the direction drive it. Worth a go and just two episodes left (seven in total) so not a big commitment. But too many scenes where it’s like, cool, Bridges likes his dogs and his dogs like him; oh, his relationship with his daughter is fraught. 20 years ago it’s an excellent movie like “The Fugitive” but that’s not what gets made anymore. All in all, by modern “prestige” TV standards it’s very good. I think you’ll like it. I’m enjoying it.

Enjoying, prison drama/serial killer yarn Blackbird on Apple TV. Good to see an excellent Ray Liotta mark his final appearance in style as the ailing father. Tarom Egerton and Greg Kinnear stand out too.
We Own This City was absolutely superb
Discovered there is a HBO documentary “The Slow Hustle” that covers the fall out from the events depicted in We Own This City.
Spoiler alert if you haven’t seen WOTC
jonattonyeah Lithgow
He ruins everything he’s in, he’s a truly awful actor!
Tez Maynard out of Sherwood, corra etc the black guy was a childhood friend of mine. Sat next to him for years at school. Klang.!
jonattonyeah
Done 5 episodes since Saturday. It ok, but a few things started to enjoy me. Just hope it all ties together at the end.
This is going to be one to watch apparently..
