I find that character so intriguing that I've re-named my voice control wake up command in my white/white X5 from "hey BMW" to "hey Villanelle". Kind of fitting and much more fun.

When I say "hey Villanelle, take me home" and she replies with "perfect, it'll be nice to be home" I shouldn't be totally surprised if my BMW tries to kill me in my garage one day.

Silicon Valley is pretty funny although I don't care for it at times. Just started the first season and heard it gets better so I'll continue watching it every now and then when I'm really bored.

+1 on Fargo. Very well written with good cinematography. Not sure if you heard but there will be a fourth season with Chris Rock. It should be a good one.

We have also been watching The Son on AMC but I guess it hasn't done that well since it is ending at the end of this season, only its second.

I was surprised by her range. Really entertaining series with a lot of messed up twists. Kelly Bundy has come a long way

I just finished it also, I totally agree. She was great, played the part perfect. It’s definitely a good watch. I’m looking forward to season 2. Some f’d up stuff going on....I love it

The girlfriend and I watched season 2 of Cobra Kai this past weekend. The cheese factor is off the charts almost making it completely unwatchable, however it was like a train wreck. We couldn't stop and watched every episode in one night. In the end, I wanted to crane kick the writers, directors and even Will Smith for how it ended. Not cool.......not cool at all.

I wondered how this one would be. My wife has been taping a series called "A Discovery of Witches" that comes on right after Killing Eve...and of course I have to watch it with her as she watches stuff I want to see.

But I see the previews of the next Killing Eve when we watch the other show and thought it looked interesting.

The Discovery of Witches is okay...I could take it or leave it. My wife really likes it though, and I think she has read all of the books that it's based from.

UncleWede · 05-21-2019, 12:20 PM

I didn't know Agents of SHIELD had any more episodes left. Found 2 new ones from last week on the DVR, and watched last night. Talk about cheesy train wrecks. . . looking forward to next week.

Definitely check out Killing Eve, it's an espionage thriller that follows a MI6 agent tracking a female assassin. The antagonist is very unpredictable.

Just watched season 1 of Dead to Me. Very good. We really enjoyed it.

Grumpy Old Man · 05-22-2019, 07:05 AM

Brockmire.....a very bawdy comedy. A bit sophomoric but it speaks to my inner man child.

I watched season 1 on Hulu but they haven't been updating it with season 2. I guess I'll have to wait a bit

Captain Blood · 05-22-2019, 10:17 PM

Started "Dead to me" per this threads recommendation. Very good so far, great twists!

Captain Blood · 05-22-2019, 11:15 PM

Did anybody watch the Jeffersons or all in the family tonight?

Recorded on DVR - hope to watch this weekend. Those were both great shows when I was a kid. I hope they did a good job but hard to imagine someone else playing Archie Bunker or George Jefferson.

Ended up w/ a discounted subscription thru Amazon (which is funny since I had just cancelled it a month or so ago). Will need to binge watch before the month is up then cancel.

OkieSnuffBox · 05-23-2019, 08:53 AM

Somehow, even though I'm a huge standup comedy fan, I had never watched "F is for Family."

It's great, the girlfriend and I watched the first season and a few into the second last night.

We watched them both today. I thought they were both well done and worth watching. I also thought Marisa Tomei (Edith Bunker) did the best job of anyone. Woody Harrelson was pretty good but no comparison to Carroll O’Connor. Jamie Foxx was a little better as George Jefferson but he’s too big. I would have liked to see Kevin Hart play that part.

Definitely worth the time! Season 4 has a slightly different angle than the other Seasons but, as I noted, think it is the best.

“White Gold” on Netflix - another brilliant comedy. Also, if you are a fan of the British comedy “The Inbetweeners”, then you’ll be interested to know that Simon and Jay both are in “White Gold”.
