Given the ending Riseborogh and Torres will be there IMO. I don't think they will cut out the Italians completely as it gives them another connection to explore.

Decide to watch Swamp People Serpent Invasion last night. They're hunting pythons in the everglades. Florida is trying to get this under control as their wildlife is disappearing so fast due to the snakes. Fun show to watch when you don't want to think too much.

I've watched a few. Good brainless fun when you're multi tasking. On that topic, I have an associate (partner at one of our tech vendors) who gator hunts every year. They actually have a pimp camp/lodge they've built. His skins are off the hook, and he's had man-chairs and many other things crafted. I was a bit surprised to learn they donate most of the meat, and very little of the gator goes to waste. I have several pair of exotic Luccheses, but have always wanted to catch my own and have some made. And I love fried gator. They also have went python hunting in FL, but said it's not near the fun or challenge. He said both are pretty wild though.

Showtime and Epix is now free on Comcast for a month due to the virus. Heard rumor that this was going to happen, and that HBO and others may follow. I'm guessing this may actually be Showtime and Epix, and not Comcast, so perhaps the other cable providers are airing it for free too.

Check out Godfather of Harlem on Epix if you have a chance. Great show.

Devs (Hulu) is very good.

Nick Offerman as the creepy, scary, mysterious tech genius is nailing it.

I’ve watched that before. That one dude is nuts out in the Everglades catching huge snakes barefooted.

Thanks! Nothing better than free stuff. I'm hoping we all get an extra $1200 bills for our struggles too.
We can all feel like the government for a few weeks.

In the last 20 years there has only been 2 presidents that got boo hooed on Inauguration day. I'm not for the left or right. I'm for right and wrong.
Funny how we fight over the most mundane things. The only ones doing the fighting tho are usually the ones that can afford to... Pay Attention.

Watched the Madam Walker on Netflix. Don’t waste your time. Thumbs down from me. Boring.

A Dan Patrick interview with Carl Lewis was on today. Interesting, love hearing champs tell their story. I’m old enough to remember that he was great but hearing his take/relive it was cool.

Embarrassed to admit that I finally watched the Fab 5 30 for 30. I’ll default my excuse to wanting to see them lose those champion games but will admit it was entertaining. Fuck Scum.

Checked out the first couple episodes of Little Fires Everywhere on Hulu. Pretty good so far. Not as good as Devs, which is awesome, but still good.

Looking forward to Homeland ending... I love the show, but I can't stand Carrie. I think it would be so much better without her annoying storylines.

I'm a little tired of her mental state plot lines. They haven't spent too much time on it this season though. Great show though.

Agreed. I say I am looking forward to the series ending with some disappointment because seasons 1-3 were must watch TV, maybe some of the best of any show ever. Even some of the later seasons were still excellent. This season is fine, hopefully they are able to tie everything together. I think it's pretty clear that *SPOILERS AHEAD* the helicopter either crashed accidentally or Afghan VP shot it down.

Damian Lewis dying off was a huge talent loss. Billions is now one of my favs along with Yellowstone, Secession and a few others. I was surprised it continued to be good. I actually like Danes, just was tired of the mental narratives. Patinkin is awesome. I think there's going to be more of a twist on the crash than an accident or VP. Not sure what, but I think they've telegraphed both too much. Starting to think it ties into the Russians. Good cliff hanger this last week.

Tiger King anyone? Binged the series yesterday. It was very interesting especially because I was completely in the dark on the entire situation as well as the industry itself.

When does ZeroZeroZero-Zero come out.

I loved that show. I watched the first three episodes a few weeks back and finally got to wrap it up this morning.

Right afterwards I saw that Bosch.6 drops April 17th. I think I have mama talked into an 85" 8K TV. They are justifiable now with my discount. I'm geeked to see Bosch which is a true 4k production and noticeably the best picture of any show upscaled to 8K. Reviewers say it's amazing.

Yup, great show. Hard to imagine them not having a S2. Gonna say it wins some awards.

Looking forward to Bosch too. Welliver rocks. That show had me at the them song.

Funny u say that, while I love the theme song and the music in general on Bosch, ZZZ's theme song was fantastic too. Very Westworld/HOC's-ish. Any theme song with lots of cello works for me.

My friends mom is a retired detective and she has been trying to get me to read Bosch novels for 30 years. (Sadly, I'm not a reader) She thinks Matthew McConaughey will appear on the show day because the author also did the Lincoln Lawyer and both are recurring characters in his novels.

I love ZZZ's whole vibe including the music.

I have not started watching WW3 yet, but did see the trailer and loved the GnR re-do... Trying to resist watching until the DVR fills up. With the complexity, much better to binge.

Getting ready to kick off Ozark S3 tonight or tomorrow.

Caught my chick trying to order HBO for WW3. Reminded her that it's a weekly show like GoT and she was like... feck, what do we watch? I'm like Ozark3 comes out tomorrow and she smiled. Her daughter (30 y/o) is staying with us through the greatpandemic and has never watched Ozark. She watched the first episode yesterday afternoon and said it was "meh" but she'd give it another episode a shot. I get up at 5:00a and she's sitting in the bean bag, 3 foot in front of the tv and says... "These rednecks are the bomb... holy shiit!!!" She really liked it when the old lady blew the cartel guys head off. I laughed and said, Told ya so. She lived in Jeffersonville until she was 13 so she knows a good redneck when she sees one.

WW3 looks really good to me... better than S1/S2. Just have to have some patience here.

As soon as we watch Ozark3 I'm getting Showtime for the month to see Billions and the last season of Ray Donovan. This will bridge us until Bosch. Might be able to work in Homeland too if this stay at home stuff keeps up.

I've been doing a re-watch on Ozark's prior seasons. The old lady (Darlene) is one of my favorite characters. So is Ruth. Both nail playing rednecks. I know one when I see one too lol... Overall, just a really good cast.

I've been keeping up weekly with Homeland. Couldn't resist the last season, and it's a show that's not so crazy detailed that you can go week to week. I'll probably start re-watching WW once they get towards the end of the S3 schedule. I re-watched S1 before S2 and picked up so much that I missed (and some I just forgot). I agree that WW3 looks better. So excited to see how things open up.

Billions is a show I won't be able to resist watching weekly lol.. Probably my fav show, or at least second fav out now.

Ozark is so damn good. 3rd best show on TV right now IMO behind BCS and Succession.

Billions, Succession, Yellowstone, are my clear top 3 right now. After that, it's muddy. Ozark, Vikings, Stranger Things, Homeland, WW, Peaky Blinders, BCS, Narcos, Gomorrah, Fauda, Dark, Zero Zero Zero, Mayans, Luther, Hinterland, Shetland, Bosch, etc. are all strong. So many good options. The covid stuff is impacting a bunch of new seasons.

I can't not binge. Only way I can watch series TV. Not watching Billions last seasons was a test of my character.

And in my next life, I will find a Wags to be my wingman... unless Claire Underwood wants to be my wingchick, then Wags can kick rocks.

This may have already been posted as Must See Television... But I can't believe I just learned of Its existence recently. The power that 'Slimey' Roger Ailes (FOX NEWS) still has over the media Is astounding!

Binge is definitely the best way to enjoy shows and get the most out of them. I can wait for the majority. I wish I would have waited for Zero Zero Zero, but started watching it on Sky Atlantic (two eps a week). Some I just can't wait for lol... There's also a few guilty pleasure shows I watch casually weekly like Empire and Hawaii 5-0 lol.... I can keep up with them while I'm cooking, cleaning, etc..

Wags F'ing rules. Claire is for an entirely different purpose...
