It looks shite from the trailer. Hard pass.

Watching Ted Lasso, great cast, 3 episodes in and a thumbs up so far.

Grease23 · 01-28-2024, 08:14 PM

Especially the episode "The Kipper and the Corpse."

It definitely ramped up the last 3 episodes.

By admission, I'm a big fan of the genre. Mexican and South American Cartel flicks.

We finished it last night, can't say it was very good. I felt like I was watching something made in the 80's, I realize that's when the story took place but the production felt like watching old episodes of Miami Vice.

Started watching "Fool Me Once" on Netflix this past Friday. Wife and I are loving it. We are on Season 1, Episode 6.

That's actually one of the reasons I thoroughly enjoyed it!

I LOVE Miami Vice!!!

If that's how it made you feel, then they did their job.

I like it (Miami Vice) as well.

I dunno guys, we're 3 episodes in and Griselda is still pretty good. Can't wait till it's over (is it only 1 season?) so I can compare fact vs fiction. Cool that Pablo really said that about her.

I thought it was solid and Sofia Vergara played the part well. I thought Rivi was very well done. Good casting, good arc, and excellent acting for that character.

I understand this is historical fiction, I complete get that. I'm just not reconciling how this story can be told with no mention of Los Muchachos. Those guys sold a lot of coke in South Florida in the 80s and like Griselda Blanco they were supplied by the Medellín cartel.

TXSTYLE · 01-31-2024, 07:25 PM

The real story is even more outrageous and more brutal.
Sofia is still gorgeous. I had a ginormous crush on her back I was in my 20s. Nearly 30yrs ago! I always found her as perfect of a female as they come for my tastes.
She deserves an Emmy for sure.

She was in her early 20s here. I case you were wondering... Natural DDs.

TXSTYLE · 02-07-2024, 01:19 PM

NETFLIX keeps the amazing and original Series coming...

I watched a couple episodes of Mr and Mrs Smith and it was very good, it’s an interesting spin on the movie.

Think I'll give it a try as well.

Started new season of True Detective. Not sure what I think about it yet after 2 episodes.

Same. I'm 1.5 episodes in and not sure what to make of it. Will stick with it for now.

M5Rick · 02-10-2024, 01:02 PM

The Avengers is a series about two Government agents, Emma Peel and John Steed played by Diana Rigg and Patrick Mcnee.
Mini skirts and bowler hatted gentlemen were the rage and with Emma's famous blue Lotus Elan SJH499D what more could you ask for.

On Great! tv now.

Got through episodes 3 and 4. Seeming more and more like a science fiction show. Will stick with it, but this is not what I was expecting.

tranquility · 02-11-2024, 12:51 AM

Pretty interesting w a less common topic.

I was afraid of that. Seems it was heading in that direction. I expected your garden variety true crime show who dun it. Disappointing. If I'm being honest I wasn't impressed with the season starring Mahershala Ali. Had to abondon that one.

I saw adverts for this and seemed interesting. Decided to watch the old seasons since I had never seen it. Season 1 almost killed me of boredom. Unfortunately I had nothing else to watch so I sat through Mr Lincoln whispering for 100 hours.

Season 2 was significantly better then figured season 3 would be even better, nay nay! Couldn't make it through season 3 what a boring show. I might skip to the last season if it's sci-fi... I like sci-fi.

Now I'm watching Masters of the Air. Pretty good. I think Apple has some of the best series right now. Also recently saw both seasons of Reacher, I enjoyed that also.

I thought seasons 1 and 2 were excellent, didn’t care for season 3 and was hoping for a comeback in season 4, but it seems like it took a left turn. Maybe it just seems that way and will turn into something better than I am currently thinking.

I also enjoyed Reacher, season 1 more than season 2. Really like the character from the books.
