New show on Netflix - Inside Man. Great premise, dark and sometimes hilarious.
-
Mr. Sunshine is about a young boy born into a house servant's family. He is orphaned during the 1871 Shinmiyangyo (U.S. expedition to Korea) and adopted by a US missionary and grows up in the US.
He returns to his homeland about 30 years later later as a U.S. marine officer. He meets and falls in love with an aristocrat’s daughter. At the same time, he discovers a plot by foreign forces (Japan) to colonize Korea. Very good but very sad.

Just watched the 1st episode. Tucci is brilliant (as usual).
But "dark?" Now there's an understatement.
-
I like his sidekick. What a character.

Added to my list

I had trouble getting through the first episode with the Vicar's unbelievable decisions. But it's only four episodes. We'll see where it goes. I need something to watch on the treadmill.

Willing suspension of disbelief. Just finished E2 while pedaling. If you thought E1 was dark..
So layered.
-
@Mik I had nothing to do today, so I binged. Of course at 1.25 speed.
Waste of an afternoon, IMO. The only thing I really enjoyed was Tucci's performance.
ETA: And...it gets darker, and less funny. I'm OK with dark (Ozark, anyone?). But at least make it plausible. I never, for a second, bought the vicar's motivation, and that's what drives the entire plot.
-
I was ok with the vicar for the most part. But the story got overly drawn out. Not really interested in a second season.
-
Peripheral on Amazon Prime. I get confused, though - new episode out every friday and sometimes I have to rewatch parts of the one before to figure out what is going on. (Would be better to binge it, I think.)

Is anybody watching 1899? I’ve been binging it - you have to go in and change the settings to original English - there are several languages they speak (and do subtitles for) - for some reason the dubbed English version is the default (and it doesn’t make sense when it’s all in English). It’s by the makers of “Dark”.

I finally got around to watching my You Tube TV recording of Better Call Saul Season 6
I'm now up to the end of Episode 7
OMG

It's gotten good press, I gather. I tried to watch "Dark," but lost interest. Not that it was bad, just not my cuppa.
-
Yellowstone, Tulsa King, 1923 when it comes out (we get to look for Jodi!).
Lufin says I should watch Spirited.
-
@jodi said in What are you watching now?:
@Mik I have yet to watch a single episode of Yellowstone! I will probably start paying for Paramount + on December 18th…
Is it great television?
Nope.
Is it a fancy soap opera?
Yup.
Is it full of cowboy/horse porn?
Yup.
Is it fun?
Oh yeah.
As I've said, it's a guilty pleasure, like "Dallas" was in the early 1980s - but the people in Dallas were nicer.

It’s not on Paramount+, just the cable Paramount Network and also on CMT. Not sure where you can watch the first four seasons.
