jonattonyeah Baltimore’s fattest. Look at the state of them.
General TV Thread
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..
Australian special forces are already being held to account for it. One case inparticular. All special forces. I doubt if it will be much different a story back home.
Just revisited the episode of Barry with the Taekwondo family

His daughter kicked their asses. Well funny.
‘Black bird’ on Apple tv Is getting well dark.
The two bits that made me laugh the most were the first kick when he put him through the cupboard door and the one that takes the pig out in the shop

Was it season 2 or 3. I Can’t remember.

2 - Ronny and Lily. Some of the kicks he landed were fucking brutal.

Sound. Monroe Fuches is my fav character in the show
Funniest scene in season 3.
Funniest in s3 for me was the shooting of one of the bike gang off the car dealership roof.
Hulu limited series Under the Banner of Heaven dropped on Disney+ in Europe this week. Reddit likes it, and calls it the mormon True Detective. Based (apparently loosely) on actual events, so googling anything about it might lead you to spoilers. Will start it tonight with the missus.
Homegrove Started it last night. Religion lol
Lol. Pathos
Think it was Chaucer who wrote that line.
The Old Man is a decent watch. Jeff Bridges and John Lithgow both in it.
