I’m the last guy on the planet that would be into a show about fashion icons I’m a WWII nut and the Nazi occupation of France and the post-war effort to root out collaborators is very interesting. This show is very well acted and well done. Sad that Dior died at age 52 in 1957. Chanel died in 1971. Yeah I was hesitant at first bc of the fashion stuff but damn was the show good

June 10, 20241 yr Severance, Silo, etc. coming back, and Natalie Portman joining up. AppleTV really is trying to replace HBO as the home of prestige TV.
June 13, 20241 yr https://deadline.com/2024/05/drops-of-god-season-2-apple-tv-plus-1235925349/ New season of Drops of God. Great show.Whoa, nice. That was an excellent show that no one ever talked about. Figured it was a one and done but I’m happy to have a second season.

David E Kelly with great source material seems promising for a good series.

June 17, 20241 yr I'm guessing Presumed Innocent has a different ending/twist than the movie. What I've read online suggests it does. If not, why bother watching?
June 17, 20241 yr Enjoyed first two eps of presumed innocent. Read the novel back in olden times. Saw the movie. I like old movies getting remade in mini series.

June 18, 20241 yr Damn, Apple keeps pumping out big budget TV shows. No idea what this is about, but Natalie Portman, so I’m in

She grew up in Nolanville in Central Texas,[4] and has close kinship ties in parts of Arkansas.[5] After their parents divorced, Hewitt and her older brother Todd were raised by their mother.[6] These things ^, I did not know.

July 10, 20241 yr Two eps in on Presumed Innocent. Quite good. The actors all around are great, with Ruth Negga (please) and Gyllllenhaaaal (nailed it) damn great. Also love Peter Särsgaaaäärd and need to watch more of his stuff. Edited July 10, 20241 yr by gofuckyourself unneeded umlauts

July 10, 20241 yr Slow Horses is so freaking good. I don't binge much anymore, but I watched all three seasons in a few days.

They're the anti Severance: Season 1 - April '22 Season 2 - December '22 Season 3 - November '23 Season 4 - September '24I kept looking for a premiere date and glad it’s so soon. I’ve read a few books ahead, so pretty pumped. Spook Street (this season) is great.Gotta get enough seasons in before the main cast members get bored.

If not, why bother watching? So far, it's a huge departure from the book. You could read the book and not have a thing ruined. It's way smarter. The original movie left me cold. I put the original out of my mind to watch the current series and it's okay. I think Kelly is just cashing in. He really twisted up something else recently. His work is cloying now. He's a great story though. Back in the day, he was an attorney in NYC who couldn't type. He handwrote an episode of LA Law and paid his assistant to type it up. He sent it to the producers and, bang, new career. He's written for that show and written/produced a ton of great stuff since. The capper? Marries Michelle Pfeiffer.
July 16, 20241 yr Sunny with Rashida Jones playing a very interesting character. Set in Kyoto. A modern murder mystery with homicidal robots. Two eps in and we’re enjoying it. It’s very different.
July 20, 20241 yr Lady in the Lake is the stealthiest The Wire prequel yet? The author was married to David Simon and it’s based in Baltimore. Edited July 20, 20241 yr by billfromlaketravis
July 20, 20241 yr I'm loving it too. Except for the dude playing DeLay. He's horrible. lol if you mean Della Guardia that dude is in Loot with Maya Rudolph. He acts totally normal in that show but in Presumed Innocent, he’s acting style is weird. My wife and I both said why is is being so weird?!?And Peter “not a Skarsgard” Sargaaaaard is great in this. We are 3 in and I never saw the original but my wife did. I think this might be the only Han Solo movie I never saw

July 23, 20241 yr I haven’t watched anything on Netflix that’s been two grades above total dogshit in at least a year, probably longer. That it is so popular and profitable is mind boggling. Meanwhile, shows like Severance, Silo, Presumed innocent etc have actual threads devoted to them because they are real television.

I don’t really get it either. Apple TV is $5 a month, no ads, and you get a MLB game every week. You’d think those cord cutting cheapskates would be all over it. That said. I think they desperately need a massive hit. Apple needs another Stranger Things. Presumed Innocent and Lady in the Lake are pretty good, but I don’t see them entering the zeitgeist. They’re all in on Wolfs. I hope it works.
July 23, 20241 yr Netflix is the modern day equivalent of channel surfing. They have a massive amount of content most have not seen. Even if it’s crap, it is easy to try a bunch content and not pay much attention/investment to it. Think of all of the dumb series and movies you otherwise never heard of discovered channel surfing on cable growing up. *Netflix also dominates outside of the US, the others aren’t close **actually youtube is closer, but close enough Edited July 24, 20241 yr by ChickenSandwich
