I'm glad I stuck with it - didn't really like the first couple of episodes but as the plot unfolds it gets better. Only one episode to go

I like all those and I would add:
The Walking Dead
Breaking Bad
Chernobyl (If we are counting shows with only 1 season)

Tarantino scraping The Movie Critic ... wish he didnt cap his career at 10 films. Dude loves movies, I love his movies ... I get not wanting to turn into a Scorcese of sorts

Big QT fan myself, but I find this kinda funny….this 10 movie thing is dumb….and now that his first try looks (probably) not great, he cuts bait….he’s set this expectation for the last one that’s unrealistic….
Scorsese cranks out good movies….why on earth should he quit if he doesn’t want to? I’d work into my 90s like Eastwood…
The premise of that movie seems tremendously underwhelming.

Really been digging Fallout. Not sure why I’ve seen so many gripes about it not following along with all the game storylines. I really wouldn’t want to watch an exact version of the games. I think they’ve done a great job using a majority of the source material so far and I’m only on episode 6 I believe

That’s right….doesn’t need to follow exactly IMO….gamer lore nerds though are probably offended by the differences I guess…
Generally lore nerds will always be offended it is part of the job description.

Rebel Moon 2, done, good, not great, many won’t like it I’m guessing….love a big budget space war movie…

X-Men 97 is excellent. If you grew up watching the 90's show like me, you'll love it.

Netflix announces The Witcher is ending after Henry Cavill was recast in lead role — LADbible
There will be two more seasons and then that's it for The Witcher.

Finally got around to catching up on some Disney Plus shows. Andor was really really well made. But Season 3 of the Mandalorian is draaaaaaagging.
Baby reindeer on Netflix. All I have to say is wow, very much worth a watch.

Have yet to watch it. The more I thought about S2, the more I soured on it for a couple of reasons
1) Too much fan service
2) A number of episodes felt like they were trying to set up spin offs
Tried to start watching Rebel Moon part two. But the scene where the victorious crew come back to a village straight from the 1400s in a sci-fi movie just kills me. Then lets have a victory feast cause the big bad is dead and immediately no the bad guy ship is coming back in five days. Then formal general guys walks out of the feast hall, and that I wonder if any of the villagers knew who this dude was, and tries to deliver a 300 movie style speech as if they were at the sci-fi version of The Hot Gates. /me hits the back button.
Did finish the Bass Reaves series thought it was decent.
The Red Queen thriller set in Spain was entertaining watched all of it pretty quickly. If one is triggered by homosexual epithets you might want to take a pass on this one.
Finally finished the Welcome to Samdal-ri Korean romance drama series. Not bad basically in the slightly above middle grade for that genre. Shin Hye-sun is the best actor in this one she's been great in a couple of other series I've watched she was in.

Have you watched it all the way through?
I started out enjoying it but it got v f***ing dark and left me feeling kind of depressed. And it's based on real events in his life which makes it even more bleak.
It gets dark for sure and somewhat monotonous but the acting was so good. Binged it in 2 days

Bone Tomahawk .. disappointed. Was hoping for a visually engaging cinematography type western landscape movie. The dialogue/writing was somewhat engaging but the pace was a slow burn and I need more big screen panaramic cinematography .. then the violence was contained to about 3 short scenes, everything else was 4 dudes talking around a camp fire.
Weird pace .. was there a story arc? I guess white knight saves damsel in distress.
Felt like a low budget movie all shot 30 mins outside LA

Sooooo as a diehard Red Dead fan, it was right up your alley!
I need to do a rewatch….I saw it years ago….just remember the very brutal violence.
And yeah, for a simple set type movie, low budget, a few main actors, has a minimalist feel, but I like that typically….you just can’t typically expect that type of movie to be a cinematography masterpiece….again typically. That’s going in with too high of expectations my man…..I always try to go in with low expectations…..that way, if it’s good, I’m surprised, if it’s just average, I’m not disappointed, because it was still moderately entertaining.

Shogun - watched episode 1, having a hard time getting hooked
The Gentlemen - very entertaining, bring on season 2
Black Sails - on my short list to start
Killing Eve - loved season 1, lost interest after, need to pickup again someday.
Rebel Moon (I guess) - if you’re a hardcore syfy fan, it’s easy to consume..

yeah ... i was playing rdr before watching, killing birds w tomahawks and it triggered me remembering the movie being mentioned here. Im pretty sure 30 seconds in I literally thought "this is just like red dead and its right up my alley!"
I did go in w high expectations, had house to myself and hadnt had a late movie night in awhile .. it was moderately entertaining. All the budget shortcuts was a let down
is what it is .. could have been more. felt like some european movies when they do WW2 but do it on low budget
