I'm sorry if that's not how you meant to come off, but it sounds really sympathetic toward these guys.

No you missed the point. What I am saying is they spent a lot of time reminiscing of the Cosby & Hef that everyone saw in the public eye and then flipped the script and told you the stories you never heard which tarnished their images. Oddly enough they both did a lot of good that I had no idea they actually did but it was clearly to cover or try to make themselves feel better for the dirty shit they did.

I don't know what the big deal was either. It happened so fast damn near no one ACTUALLY saw it. I mean no one said much of anything when Lil Kim went to the Grammy's I think it was, with an entire boob out. Her dress was made without half the top and she had a clam shell nipple pasty...no one said a damn thing. I don't get it either

It's one of many periodic, subtle tests to see how susceptible ppl are to certain thoughts and it passed w flying colors. Just like when they had plants all over media saying an avg-looking woman w the long curly hair and a horse-laugh was the 'most beautiful woman in the world'.

Watched the first few episodes of Midnight Mass on Netflix. Damn it cranked up a notch in episode 3 (Book III: Proverbs). Kind of gave me the chills. So many questions raised now!!

I've been impressed so far. Not only the "horror" aspect which is obvious, but the side stories including the emotional confrontation between Leeza and Joe in his home. That was spectacular acting!

Still been meaning to check this out. I watched the creator Mike Flannigan's other Netflix Horrors (Hill House, Bly Manor) and they were pretty good, especially Hill House when it came to providing creepy vibes and some good scares.

And tomorrow Midge returns!

Ya, you're right. The show's a top all-rounder: great story, acting, fx, moods, horror.

That guy has lots of gems. I'm a HUGE horror fan and as you probably know, it's slim pickings out there but most of his stuff is real quality. Can't wait for his next show, probably this one:

Meh. It should have just been a movie, a lot of filler then it gets a bit silly.

My Name Is Earl. Irreverent. Politically incorrect. But sometimes, funny as hell!

[evil-G-nius]

My Name is Earl was funny AF

agree completely. i was really into it for the first few episodes and then it really falls apart at the end.

[UncleWede]

The wheel of Time is getting a few episodes. It has all the right pieces, but not sure if I'm hooked or not

Now, Black Mirror is dark. I think I've seen 3 so far, but not in any particular order. And you thought social media was the cause. This seems to show that human condition is just fucked in general. I almost feel embarrassed watching it because of subject matter, when someone else walks into TV room

I find a lot of Netflix shows are artificially long to bolster content, the documentaries are brutal. Hernandez one, seriously could have bene cut to an hr and was like 4.5 hrs.... come on man.

[Alfisti]

"Woman who saw a murder in the window" or some such shit.

Garbage, aimed squarely at women, just brutal.

For All Mankind on Apple TV was absolutely fantastic.

Oh no! I just started Midnight Mass; got through 2 episodes. So, maybe it's not worth watching?

I already thought it was starting slow; but was hoping the coming episodes got more entertaining and creepy.

I did start Arcane over the weekend; maybe I'll see how that goes instead.

There's just so many shows out now that are just not worth watching.

I've got 2 episodes left so I'm comitted. Through midway, I don't think it's that bad. Not a great show overall (IMHO) but not bad. I can see how it could nose dive from here but I'll find out. Definitely has a Needful Things + Dominion vibe.
