  • Here it is, in short. I would need to cross check some things to make sure it is all correct, but this is the story in brief: Some time in March, 1944, the 45th was moving into Germany in near co

That’s funny, I couldn’t stand the overdubs either so I quit watching. It’s like the people they got to do the voiceovers aren’t actors but simply translators. Their inflection is horrible and makes even the best dialogue comical

Yeah, it was bad, but it was much better after switching it to Polish. Finished the series last night, I would recommend giving it another shot. It reminded me a lot of Babylon Berlin.

I’ll give it another shot with the subs. Loved Babylon Berlin

It can not be over stated how awful Bad Blood is. Easily the worst show on netflix or anything that exists right now. I'd rather watch This is Us.

I couldn't get through the first episode.

So poorly done, cliche, and predictable.

Watched the first hour of “Happy!” Last night. 

Holy shit it’s something else. 

Will continue. 

Oh it ramps wayyyyyy up from Ep 1.

Anyone watched "inside the real narcos"? Any insight on whether to start it or just capitalizing off Narcos? Saw the title and was curios. 

About halfway through and it's pretty intense so far, I like it

Maybe it's just me, but I've never been a huge Sandra Bullock fan but she is a smokeshow in Bird Box. Definitely someone who got a lot hotter with age

Happy has a very “Sin City” feel to it. I need to check when the next season starts...

Early 2019 and Weird Al is in the cast. It’s a bummer this show isn’t actually a Netflix original, it really belongs on there.

that never occurred to me but now that you mention it it really does. Loved the first sin city movie.

Happy! was really good. Finished it last night. What a dark holiday mini-series. Anyone know what s2 is about?

^^^started it today. Pretty damn funny

Any thoughts on bird box?

Watched Bird Box last night. I throughly enjoyed it even with some plot holes. 

Agree. It was entertaining. Bullock is always solid.

Bird box was pretty good.  A solid little thriller/horror that was worth the watch. 

Happy! is as close as it gets to the perfect show for me.

Yeah I think I called it a B- above, but rewatching it (and all in one sitting/stretch of time) I remember how funny it is.  When the lobster gets shot, and fucking Happy sitting down to play cards.

Did not enjoy it.  Just couldn’t get into the antagonist, and then the end was essentially what I had been wondering about the entire time.

Worth a watch imo. Unless you are an over analyzer like homeboy in The Mule thread. Entertaining enough.

Oh, does Bird Box fall apart if you think about any single element of its plot?

Like a painter navigating river rapids blindfolded in a row boat?

Wife and I have been watching Cheers from the beginning. That show had damn good writing. Jokes from 1982 that still hit. 



Nice to hear...thought about trying to find it.


I need to pick them back up again. Think I read the burning land back when it came out, but I'm not sure. Might as well just re-read them at this point since I've forgotten most of it. They were pretty quick and easy reads. And Cornwell is the anti-GRRM so you don't need to wait for the next one.

I binged Sunderland 'Til I Die over the past two days and really liked it. Most sports documentary series are on championship caliber teams or at least teams that are good. I've never seen one featuring a team during its worst season ever and found it thoroughly and utterly fascinating. I came out of it hoping Sunderland makes it back to the EPL at some point. Really good watch.

Basically this.  They make no attempt to explain the story.  If you want to watch something suspenseful mindlessly that makes zero attempt to explain what's happening or why it's happening, then I guess it's okay.   I'd give it a 4 out of 10.  Too many holes in the plot for my liking.

Also, watched Final Table again with the family.  The show is fantastic with the exception that they used ambassadors that had no business judging and critiquing michelin star chefs.  The elimination rounds were my favorite.  It's unbelievable what these guys can put together in 1 hour.  I hope they do a 2nd season and I hope they keep bringing high caliber chefs.

Brian Regan just released a sketch show called Stand Up and Away.  Four episodes.  If you like his comedy, you'll like the sketches.  Just quirky.  I watched all four, thought it was pretty funny.

Just watched Struggle, a doc about a genius sculptor. Felt like I was watching the artist version of Nicola Tesla. 

And now, a 4 part Watership Down has appeared. 

If you are looking for a kid friendly show that is good for the whole family, The Netflix original-The Christmas Chronicles with Kurt Russell as St. Nick is really well done. Very campy but enjoyable.

That the polish guy who some people were uncomfortable about his anti-Semitic stuff from pre ww2 days? Was interesting
Is there a last kingdom bookfag thread?
No I don't believe so.  The Last Kingdom is one of the few examples where the show version has done a really nice job of streamlining a story that got repetitive from time to time in the books.
Someone start it.

Just started new season of The Ranch.  Knowing that Rooster is not coming back makes it stupid. 

“2036 Origin Unknown”, what a dumb fucking movie. It’s like some dipshit tried to remake 2001.

Bad Blood is what it is, a very flawed show with an interesting subject matter. In the hands of HBO or perhaps Showtime, it'd be a really good show with the right casting, directing, writing. 

The actor that plays Nico Rizzuto is Gawd Awful. The guy looks and acts like every male lead in Hallmark Christmas movie. I know his character is supposed to be a little bitch, but they they over did it by casting that guy. 

The show lost me the portrayal of the 1981 Bonnano Capo Murders. My ass one guy did the shooting while the Montreal Crew just stood there and watched. Joe Pistone has a completely different story to tell and he was a freaking FBI agent. I need to go back read the chapter on the Capo Murders in the Donnie Brasco book.I remember Sonny Black was very involved. 

Oh well, I'll give Netflix some credit for trying to breath some life back into a dying genre. I do want to see how the show ends, I already invested 4 hours. Might as well give them another two.

Watched the first episode last night. It’s basically his version of the Chappelle Show. The stand up is a mix of new and old and I thought the sketches were pretty funny. I’m a big BR fan though.

I did not like the repartee with his producer. That seemed forced.

The Last Kingdom is awesome. I blew through all three seasons this week. I'm ready to go raiding and find a Skade.

Same. Knocked out it in a day or so, pretty cool the host was a former special forces member. Read somewhere they took like 2-3 years to get all the footage to just make 3 episodes. Would watch if they did a season two
