Too bad it’s only going to be six episodes. Burnt thru the 6 episodes in 2 days. Really good series and Hauser has already won the Golden Globe and you have to think he will take the Emmy as well. I can't get over that he plays Stingray in Cobra Kai and then this character. Pretty good range. It was a challenge to not google Larry Hall while watching the series but I didn't want to be surprised.

If it's Anchorman or something that's one thing but I think we're supposed to take this seriously.

The work on her face distracts from her acting. You have to wonder if there’s a reason she only appears on shows produced by her husband.
February 20, 20232 yr Sharper ain't bad, but I'm a sucker for con man movies. Sebastian Stan as a villain is the best. Just don't go in expecting a lot of Lithgow or Julianne Moore. They don't appear until the 48 minute mark. Edited February 20, 20232 yr by billfromlaketravis
February 20, 20232 yr I like Shrinking. Ted Lasso, Scrubs and Cougar Town don’t have realistic dialogue/characters either but they are all fun. It’s like people forgot who created this show The dude that plays Sean is great. Agree Christa Miller is giving off Jason Stoltz Mask vibes…. Or maybe Richard Kiel? I dunno. She looks weird.

February 20, 20232 yr The outrageousness of the characters and situations in Shrinking is what makes it so appealing for me.

What I'm about to type is 100% the truth. I've seen two episodes of Shrinking - about 2 weeks apart. At the end of the first episode, I saw the title card for Christa Miller. My first through upon seeing that was "well maybe she'll be in episode 2". Then, I saw episode 2. No Christa Miller. Hadn't thought about the show since because I was not all that enamored by it. One of those "I'll get around to finishing it later". It was only seeing this thread that I realize now that Christa Miller was in the first scene of the first episode, and every third scene after that. Holy shit, what a truly horrifying transformation. I may not watch another episode.

February 21, 20232 yr Yeah at this point the setting has nothing to do with the story. May as well be in Kansas City selling condos in boca raton. Other than maaaaaybe travel is a lever that gets pulled to some effect- already has a little bit.

My wife really enjoyed it (possibly concerning) and I liked it but not as much as her. I am in on anything Sharon Horgan.Just how evil JP was did stretch the bounds of believability at times. Maybe I am overly optimistic of our fellow man.

February 23, 20232 yr On 11/28/2022 at 8:02 PM, YGIFS said: Yeah, between my post and your post...somebody got their shit together at digital media relations. First two drop 12/2, last one on 12/30. Meaning, burning another free 7-day trial on Christmas Day night and watching all 6 and canceling night of finale 12/30. Should work out swimmingly even with the bowl game. At this point, are they still tip-toeing with another 6-episode arc for fear of cancellation after S.2? I know a compressed season can feed a narrative. Great way to end the year though series-wise. They're starting to teeter towards putting out too much content, IMHO. But they know best. Curious what their big play will be to satiate us all in late Winter/early Spring before Ted Lasso finale drops. I mean in terms of the marquee series they push, obviously they got lots to work with. Too much content? I'm assuming that's a typo. On 11/28/2022 at 12:58 PM, kingkoopa6 said: im still in love with Acapulco. love the show- wish i could just binge it... ugh This is why you subscribe for a month and then cancel. Don't get sucked into the week at a time bullshit. I have those 2 free months from the will smith promo and the only 2 shows I watched are Slow Horses and Acapulco. (Had already seen Ted Laso, and didn't make it past ep 2 of Severance.) Even the promo of Shrinking puts me to sleep. The definitely need more content on apple+ ... although apple corp. has more money than they'll ever be able to spend so they don't need to care.
March 7, 20232 yr ^ Silo looks a lot like a darker version of "City of Ember" which also starred Tim Robbins. Looks good though, will check it out.
March 7, 20232 yr Silo will needs its own thread. Should be huge if they don't fuck it up. The books were great. Could be big like Last of Us. Edited March 7, 20232 yr by rage-a-holic

March 20, 20232 yr Finished up S2 of Slow Horses. Enjoyed both seasons and the overall cast is pretty solid. Two things stood out to me, one from each season... 1. So Sid is a ghost? Never existed "officially" yet Lamb wasn't aware of that and then they didn't follow up on it at all? 2. In S2, River was a dumbass for getting tazed by the mom. At that point, wouldn't everyone be a suspect?
March 22, 20232 yr Anyone watched Extrapolations?Eight interconnected stories told over 33 years explore how our planet's changing climate will affect family, work, faith—and survival. Huge cast - Marion Cotillard, Meryl Streep, Matthew Rhys, Kit Harrington, Edward Norton, Sienna Miller, Tobey Maguire, Diane Lane, David Schwimner, Heather Graham, Forest WhitakerPretty lackluster reviews. Can’t tell if that’s automatically a result of the climate change theme, or if it’s truly just a mediocre series.I watched the first 3 episodes and thought they were decent but not great. I’ll keep watching because I find climate change fascinating and I’m curious to see how they portray the future in the later episodes.
