Great TV series - What are you watching now?

evil-G-nius · 01-16-2022, 10:55 PM

Finally watched the Ray Donovan movie and I am actually disappointed with how they ended it. Dexter's ending was better and left fewer questions.

Not a traditional TV Series but just started watching CarTrek on you Youtube. Fairly low rent and put together by some established Youtubers. Some bits are cringy but it's good for a laugh and light entertainment. Found on Tavarish's Channel.

Watching House of Cars, never seen it before. It's OK, I can tolerate it, already a bit far fetched and I always struggle with Robin Wright, seems the type who'd stab you slowly with a large knife instead of cutting your throat, just to enjoy it.

House of Cards is good - so long as you suspend your disbelief, and hip just watch for its entertainment value. And, if you forgo the last Season. It lacks Kevin Spacey, and is pure garbage.

Not really TV anymore, but I started Penny Dreadful not long ago. Final season left.

I loved House of Cards, Frank is/was easy to hate but you've got to admit that the finale was rather satisfying...not the final season but the series finale.

I don't think I watched the last season, maybe the last two. It just became so over the top ridiculous it wasn't enjoyable anymore, for me at least.

Kind of like The Walking Dead, after smashing in Glen's head, it was obvious it jumped the shark.

Alfisti · 01-18-2022, 03:15 PM

It's already ridiculous in season 1, it gets worse?

House of Cards? I think we got a few episodes into season 2 before calling it quits.

cmyx6go · 01-19-2022, 06:49 AM

Thank you, Breaking Bad. I'm scarred for life. You know how a song can take you back to a specific moment in time? Well, it used to be when I heard "Who's tripping down the streets of the city, smiling at everybody she sees" I would flash back to being in the back of my dad's old station wagon with the wood panels on the side on a summer day heading to the beach. No mas. From now on, I will only see beat up cheap white pleather boots and BJs.

Carry on.

Right! It's the season 3 finale. I remember now.

So, what do you think about the show 3 seasons in?

Alfisti · 01-19-2022, 08:47 AM

As a guy who works in operations, the thing I appreciate about Breaking Bad is it never, ever shies away from the logistical difficulties. It rarely makes the difficult seem easy. You can see by now that distribution is becoming an issue, waly t is like WTF JUST GET IT DONE and it's not that easy.

Even stupid shit like getting your staff to buy the right shit from a hardware store, they will fuck it up.

It doesn't shy away from the nittty gritty in the mess complications and that is what drives the story because if it was easy, there wouldn't be a story.

It's entertaining to say the least. Plenty of holy shit moments. Plenty of disturbing moments. It definitely has me looking forward to what happens next.

I am eager to see the beginning of Ozark's season four even if it's going to be split into two parts.

dscabra · 01-19-2022, 02:46 PM

Anyone else hooked on Yellowstone? The plot thickens with every episode. Just started season two.

Haha, you're right, my bad. That's why I've stopped avoiding this thread and I'm coming back...just gonna skim through stuff that mentions it.

Ya, noticed that too. The last episode they tried that thing to spice it up, but I feel like they should've made it go on more for more effect.

Definitely not everyone's cup of tea but I really liked Dispatches from Elsewhere. So meaningful. Jason Segel is different.
