Couple TV shows some may enjoy

Yes look like Thursday Midnight releases for the final 5 episodes - 8 in total. It's hard in a condensed series like this to replicate the "drifter" aspect of the Reacher character found in the novels and how much time he spends just wandering around (with his folding toothbrush) by hitchhiking and bus travel and then somehow always finds trouble lurking in small town USA. I like Tom Cruise as an actor but he is so far removed from the gigantic hulk that Reacher really is as is superbly characterized by the Prime series Reacher. Not sure if you're a Bosch fan but Titus Welliver portrays him wonderfully in the Prime series.

 

The last wife episode was just a mind twist for me. Do Innies have their own Innies? Question: Was his wife working at Severance when they were married?

I barely made it through the Outdoor episode, and then they throw this curve ball "Wife" episode at me. During the Outdoor episode when he said "This is the largest Waterfall on the planet", I had to ask "What Planet are they on?"

And, I still don't have a clue what year it is. The cars seem to be out of the 80s, the cell phones are smart phones with multiple cameras, and everyone has a cassette player.

 

Small Town, Big Story

 

I don't have Apple TV but family member rate that show as top 5 all time.

 

I am slowly making my way through American Sports Story - Season 1.

The first 2 episodes reminded me of the LA Lakers show Winning Time where they seem to just go out of their way and trash everyone. Except the University, which seems to get a complete pass on all their Booster related player perks that are never shown.

I keep thinking I am going to stop because of the Hollywood agenda that is being pressed in the series. That disclaimer at the end of every episode is hilarious. Yeah, we know everything is a lie here, but please don't hold us accountable for any facts, because we are just trying to tell a good story.


Anyway, just Finished Episode 4 which centered on the NFL Combine experience and concluded with the draft. Don't hate me Steelers nation, but I really loved the Bill Belichick character.

 

Who is playing Pouncey? Sinbad?

 

You just like the Bilichick character because he probably has a hot young chick

 

The Righteous Gemstones sure threw a shocker at me. Bradley Cooper is in first episode and does a great job.

 

Wife watches General Hospital. The difference between those actors and the HBO actors is day and night. I actually get a lot of laughs out of GH if I watch with wife.

 

Well done! It didn't come to mind but the Coen Brothers was a great analogy.

 

Arnold Schwarzenegger son is in The White Lotus on HBO/MAX. I hate the punk ass role he is playing. I'm thinking that is what Arnold looked like before pumping iron.

 

Righteous Gemstones was back to normal in episode 2.

 

Disney's DareDevil and a new season of Andor on the way.

 

First I heard of Andor. Looked it up and I may have to check it out. I do dig the Star Wars series.

 

Andor is one of the best "Star Wars" shows that Disney has made. They've messed a lot up, but Andor is really good. I put Star Wars in quotes b/c you could take that show completely out of the Star Wars universe and it wouldn't really be any different. You just wouldn't see Star Wars uniforms/stormtroopers/etc, but it wouldn't really change the show. It's just a good all-around show.

 

We just started Severance a week ago and we're really enjoying it.

 

I don't get Apple TV but I have family members who rave about that show. They say you have to get through the first few episodes and then it gets good. Also told it's a bit confusing. A few re-watched the first season and said it helped to makes sense of what is going on.

Enjoy!

 

We don't *actually* have Apple TV, but my son, who is in college, has it included with his student subscription to Apple Music, so he signed in at our house over Spring Break so we could use it. So far, it's the only thing we've watched on there that we really enjoy, but I'm sure we'll find other shows. I've been hearing really good things about Ted Lasso.

 

S.T.D. maybe you are lurking and will see this. I know you and I have MGM+ channel and enjoy a few of their series. I started watching "Nine Bodies in a Mexican Morgue". (love the title) It's not bad. It is one of those 10 people lost in wilderness and die one by one.

Damn "From" is not until 2026

 

Season 1 of Severance?

and

yep Lasso is good

 

We are a couple of episodes into season 2.
