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.

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”.

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.

@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.

@taiwan_girl Nope, just an “extra” - which means background, no speaking. Though we did get to speak in this - we were protesting - we were temperance women - about the evils of alcohol - we got to SHOUT at the top of our lungs (after the first couple of takes, on the way out of the building, Harrison Ford looked at us and suggested we save our voices a little for later!). He, (or his double) rode in, dismounted, pushed through our little group - as we berated, yelled, shook our fingers - it was hilarious. We were LOUD. They filmed the whole scene from multiple angles, starting from the top of the building and slowly moving closer throughout the day - to the point that it was close up, and Harrison Ford and the one actress amount the rest of the 13 extras had lines - we had to go from shouting to mouthing silently what we had been shouting as soon as his foot hit the curb (so you could hear the lines) - that was way harder than it seems - to make it believable - and they had to do a couple of retakes because a few of the ladies messed up and kept yelling! Apparently if you have actual lines, you have to join the union, or something. But yelling in a crowd doesn’t count.

That's awesome. Heads were buried in newspapers back then just like heads are buried in phones these days, huh?
@Horace Not newspapers - protest signs! “Protect America’s Youth”, “Prohibition for Montana”, that sort of thing. Whiskey was misspelled on my sign (left out the e) Not on purpose. (Props were made for us) It made me laugh. Tried to cover it up with my glove! There is a small chance you might actually hear my voice in the episode (I’m pretty loud). Or maybe they will block it out because I’m too loud, lol. There was a group watching a boxing match on the corner across from us - they were all yelling too. It was amazing - all the cars, all the horses and wagons, several hundred extras - all these things that had to go around the block and get set up again for the next take.
