"True Detective..."
The first season had a good, but somewhat unsatisfying ending. There was a lot o philosophizing on the part of McCaunghey's character that was fun. It was dark, disturbing, and brilliantly shot.
This scene was all shot in one take. Almost 5 minutes of nonstop action, with no cuts...
Link to videoSecond season stars Colin Ferrell, Amy McAdam, Vince Vaughan, Kelly Reilly (Beth from Yellowstone) and I guy I can't remember. It twists itself into too many plots, too many irrelevant characters. This is a story that could be told in 4 episodes, but is taking 8. Giving up after four.

True Detective is the shit. Easily one of the best shows of the past 10 years.

We're watching 'Three Pines' on Amazon Prime. Decent detective show, set in Quebec, starring Alfred Molina - who's even less Canadian than I am. It's fun, probably not particularly realistic. The last episode was set in a country hotel, and not one of the suspects asked for his lawyer to be present. But who cares?

That's not true, the douche brother demanded it but then forgot about it after he tried to, y'know...

Yes, you're right. He asked for a lawyer, but then just carried on talking to the police for about 5 minutes.
I thought it was quite funny how closely he resembled Donald Trump Jnr.

Probably not a coincidence.

I finally got around to watching The Wire. Just finished the first season.
Does start out a bit slow and you need to actively watch and listen to get the most out of it. I'm digging it so far.
Also - very 3 dimensional characters of all races on both the "good" and "bad" side. Very refreshing.

I found the Wire incomprehensible the first 2 times I tried to watch it.
"FIVE-OH!"
What?
But, you persist and push through it, and you realize what a fantastic piece of drama it is. Vast in scope, great characters, and gritty as hell.

Just finished Wednesday. It was fun. A decent little show.

Bryan Cranston is a judge in New Orleans. His son is involved in a hit and run in which he kills the son of the most powerful mobster in NOLA.
He wants his son to confess, until he learns who the victim of the hit and run is.
Sounds intriguing...
After three episodes....meh. Too much convoluted stuff trying to shoehorn the basic narrative into the Breaking Bad mold of "good guy goes evil."
I'll watch one more.
It was supposed to be a 1-season thing, but it was renewed for a second season. And that, really, trust me, is going to be the last.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Whaddya think, so far?
3/5 for me. Just a bit better than average because of Harrison Ford
And, I find him kind of disturbing.

Fauda. On Netflix. It means chaos in Arabic.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fauda
I’m now on season four.
Not for everyone. A very gritty but accurate look of undercover special forces in the Israel Palestinian saga.
It’s not called chaos for nothing.

@bachophile I think I watched season 1. The protagonist's name, Doron, rings a bell.
I'll have to check it out.

Not bad, but not great either. Too many distracting side-plots that seemed like filler to flesh out 10 episodes.
Think "Bryan Cranston plays a good guy who, because of circumstances beyond his control, is forced to make very dark choices that involve the deaths and corruption of innocent people."
Hmmm....

We decided to have a movie night a few days ago. Getting Finley to sit through an entire movie is VERY difficult. We were going through the Netflix animated listings and he announced that he wanted something with robots. I landed on something called The Mitchells vs The Machines. It was hilarious. I had tears in my eyes I was laughing so hard...
