Just started watching this series for the first time.

Best western series of all time! What a fantastic cast of characters that one has...Ian McShane is beyond suberb.

I think I ought to watch that again too.

I remember back in the day when it aired I once played a game that I had a shot of whisky everytime Swearengen took one...had one hell of a hangover the next day...didn't do that again.



I found an old classic sci-fi show from Amazon Prime I missed back when it aired...

FARSCAPE

Few episodes in an it sure is an odd one but I love all the funky looking alien races on that one...bit on the low budget side though compared to Star Trek or Stargate which aired at the same time but still very enjoyable.

^^^ I always found Farscape to be a bit of a mixed bag in terms of the quality of the writing. I did like it for the most part and I would agree that it was not on the same budget as Star Trek. If memory serves it is the Jim Henson company doing many of the characters.




I bought a subscription to Netflix just to see this and though it is getting mixed reviews I like what I have seen so far. Eleven episodes in and I am getting something both a child and adult can enjoy. Definitely an interesting and fascinating take on the Transformer story with some well written original angles. I have also been collecting this lineup of Transformer toys and the figures are incredible especially considering their price point. I am a very happy fan and this has almost made up for the dubious execution on the live action films.

I'm about 10 episodes in and yes I have to agree...there have been some absolutely stellar episodes and some that haven't been that great...but no really bad episodes either yet which is nice.

All in all I'd say that this is done with a much lighter touch than Star Trek or even Stargate as there is no real sinister back story to speak of. Which isn't a bad thing. The funky looking aliens is without a doubt the best part of the show...

Working through New Girl on Netflix, having a great time with that series.

My wife and I are following The Connors, Mr. Mayor, and Kat for our weekly sitcoms.

Anyone been watching WandaVision? I've got to episode 4 and it starting to make sense. I really didn't think much of episode 1, episode 2 was little better, but both episodes had strange occurances which indicated that more was going on than appeared on the surface. Now in episode 4 it's all starting to fall into place. Looking forward to the rest of the series... apparently episode 5 is a good 'un!

[Zzzptm]

My wife is watching it. She's going her own on that one. Sometimes, we plan ahead to watch the same things, but there are other series like Wandavision that she'll take off on her own to watch.

[Charger]

I've seen some clips of Wanda Vision and I have to say it makes zero sense...but I guess you'd have to watch it to get it...but based on the clips it makes Legion look like The A Team!

Been watching BOSCH from Amazon lately...I'm on season 5 now...

This is a REALLY REALLY good show with a great cast. Titus Welliver on the lead is just SUBERB.

This one intrigued me, what's the show similar to in terms of how it runs?

It's got a pretty strong The Wire vibe to it...single case for the season with lots of little side plots and character devopment.
Much of the same writers and crew as The Wire had too..But the focus is always strongly with Bosch not quite so divided as it was on The Wire. So this is bit easier to follow for sure.
Realism is also a pretty big factor...this features a lot of even grinding police work...but it also has a good fair share of humor in it...most of it pitch black but still...and some great dialogue.

[Zzzptm]

I like a show that includes the daily grinds with the action, that's what made Homicide: Life on the Street and Breaking Bad (with Better Call Saul) so great.

[Charger]

Oh yes I truly loved Homicide too! Not a fan of Breaking Bad though...never understood what the fuss was all about...

[Zzzptm]

Breaking Bad, for me, is the story of a man who chooses to become selfish. He has a midlife crisis at the same time he's diagnosed with cancer, but even before the cancer diagnosis, he was thinking of leaving Skyler for meth cooking. So it's about infidelity, at its core.

+1 to you, Sir Charger, for this recommendation. I just watched the pilot, and I'm already getting into it.

Well that's just awesome! I hope you enjoy the series...I think it just gets better and better as the seasons go on.
