But basically it’s a story of codependency.

Good point. Toward the end of the season (I still haven't finished) he tells her that he wants to be a "friend of the cartel."

She accepts that.

Probably the strongest season of the series. Jimmy's descent into Saul Goodman is fraught with conflict. Kim's descent into a possibly similar evil seems inevitable, and not conflicted at all.

I'm hoping for a good resolution to the tale in the next (and final) season.

Very well done.

The Stranger on Netflix. English detective show, I think. One episode in. Curious enough for a second.

Yeah...3 episodes in.

I have no idea where it's going. So many balls in the air.

But it's VERY intriguing.

Premise: A mysterious woman approaches several people telling them about suspicious, perhaps illegal, or embarrassing activities of their loved ones. We don't know her motives, or how these people are connected.

Very intriguing.

The Gentlemen is a very fun movie to watch. It has flaws but it’s not an issue. Dark comedy, amazing line up of actors and some fantastic moments. Guy Ritchie directs and demonstrates his prowess in spots. If you have not watched his movies there are several choice ones to pick from.

Stick with it.

Very complicated, though not obscure. Lots of twists with a depressing, but ultimately satisfying conclusion.

Another weekend wasted, LOL.

Hinterland. Kinda (okay, a lot) like Broadchurch, but less tragic and it's episodic.

And then there's Blood Machines.
cinematography, visuals & and color grading: 11/10.
original sci-fi setting: 8.5/10
plot: uh... 3/10? 4?
annoying feminist undertones: 9/10
takes itself too seriously: 8/10

Your really had me intrigued until the "plot" comment.

Oh well.

Well until the feminist undertones comment.

Well until the seriously comment.

Yeah, those.

Perhaps I'll watch "The Expanse" season 4 again.

I mean visually it's amazing. Also it's only an hour, so, small commitment.

Ah, OK. I can waste another hour.

6 in now. Thoroughly enjoying it.

If you thought that finding out who Olivia's father is was a shock, you're in for a bumpy ride!

Started watching "The Shield." Only a couple of episodes in, but it's very interesting. Some characters are caricatures, but it's engrossing, to be sure. Enjoying Walton Goggins, of course.

Broken Blade
Six episodes of one hour each.

[kluurs]

We enjoyed Dead to Me.

I’ve been in that room and seen that painting. I took a picture of it before noticing the sign that said not to.

@Loki they didn't seem to understand the difference between "Funny" and "Stupid."

Some really funny moments immediately followed by something really dumb. Disorienting. One of my tests of bad film is meandering tone.

This is typical of the soulless comedies being produced today. The Office, Parks and Rec...the theme being 'look how stupid ordinary people are'. It is that same kind of snide stuff I cannot abide in Colbert.

Always Goggins. Whatever he is in. The Unicorn is kind of DOA but his work is really good as usual.

[Mik]

Oh, and The Great is just that.

Almost finished watching "Crash Landing To You". It is a Korean drama about a hi-so Korean young lady who, during a hanggliding trip, is caught in a storm and blown to North Korea.

Kind of a Romeo- Juliet romance. It is very "Asian" in parts, but I am enjoying it quite a bit. Having spent time in both ROK and DPRK, it is fun to see the show with that eyes.

It is 15 episodes, each one 1 - 1.5 hours long.

Fun show, but I am not sure how well it would do with US audiences.

(BTW, it has English subtitles so you dont need to know Korean language).
