What are you watching?

[yankeehater]

Yup, it was a good show. Did you know they remade it US style. The name of the show was Gracepoint. Only lasted one season. Same lead (Tennant), with a slightly different story.

Thanks for the heads up. I will have to check it out.

 

[NDdomer2]

watched "How to fix a drug scandal" on Netflix the other day. Certainly not going to win many awards for the actual visuals but interesting story nonetheless. Over 35,000 drug cases over turn in Massachusetts because of fraudulent drug labs.

The Last Dance
Within the first 15 minutes Michael makes that Heisman winner from 93' wish he had stayed in football...

Michael,...... yes I'm on a first name bases with him. He shouldn't be judged by today's standards, and until someone changes the way tough Is spelled.... He should not be talked about with the kids of today..
LJ needs to admit what the softness of our society has done to the NBA... I'd respect him more.


The night he hit all of those 3's against Portland... I was sitting at a restaurant called BW3's.(we all called It that anyway) Y'all might know It as Buffalo Wild Wings....

Just saw CBS is doing a reboot of The Equalizer starring Queen Latifah, and a Silence of the Lambs sequel called Clarice.

Not sure how I fee about QL being the Equalizer lol, but I'm super excited about Clarice. I absolutely loved Hannibal with Mads and Dancy. Great great show. Hope the same people are involved. I loved the Equalizer as a kid, but just can't envision the new take...

Also, binged "Gangs of London" this week on Sky (Euro network). Very solid with great actors and writing (a few GoTs folks). Not sure how I feel about the ending, but very enjoyable. Not available in the states yet (unless you have Kodi) but should be available in the next few weeks on one of the premiums.

Binge watched Top Boy on Netflix yesterday. Started a bit slow but it picked up pretty quickly. Overall it was pretty good. Really liked the use of the music in setting the tone for some of the scenes.

Watched Paramount's Waco, now on Netflix. I really enjoyed it. Pretty one sided take but the Feds should NEVER had done that. Should've worked with local/state to get him on child abuse/polygamy charges and then got inside on a warrant. He would've been easy to take into custody while away from the compound.

The thought that it was all about the ATF getting a perpwalk out of Koresh to make up for their handling of Ruby Ridge makes me want all of them in Levenworth where they belong... IF that's what it was.

Did you do the early seasons (1 & 2 from 2011 and 13), or the revival (from last year). I watched part of S1 and loved it, but had to pull back. It's on my list to go back and finish all of it.

Moneyball.
This movie and the lead actor are both the same in a nutshell. Neither get the credit and they both have the nuts to be an important part of society.

We as Notre Dame fans and followers need a Billy Beane!

The Houston Astros got caught.. Just like big money SEC/ESPN needs to be... Let's not get interrupted this year by crooked Ref's.

It was seasons 1 and 2 from 11 and 13. I enjoyed it. Not as good as the first 2 seasons of The Wire, but still very good.

Watched a Ronny Chieng comedy special. Had no idea who the guys was. Gotta say I was laughing my balls off.

Cool. If you watch S3 on Netflix, please ping me and let me know your thoughts.

Hard to beat the Wire.

Just started watching Dead to Me on Netflix. Stars Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini. Will Ferrel is one of the producers. Not a chick flick. Very, very good IMO.

Finished up Dead to Me. Definitely worth your time.

Started watching Damages. Based around attorneys, rich clients and murder. Finished two episodes. Not too bad

 

[Irish#1]

Just wrapped up Justified. Glad it was recommended. Enjoyed it a lot. The ending was pretty good.

 

[gkIrish]

Finished Homeland last night. Really strong final season and I loved the ending.

Overall it was a show that had great seasons and some bad ones, too, but it's solidly in the top 20ish for me all-time.

 

[Irish YJ]

Watched the first episode of White Lines (new on Netflix), and it was pretty good.

If you have Comcast, they are doing a free watchathon week. Most on-demand is free.

Crus - if you have Comcast, you have a few days to binge Westworld. Sorry, meant to post earlier this week, but took another week off the board and watched some foreign language stuff.

Really loved the ending. It's rare to say that about a long running series. I thought it was perfect.

Just wrapped up Justified. Glad it was recommended. Enjoyed it a lot. The ending was pretty good.

It was such a good show. It's been such a long time ago, it's now on my list for a re-watch. That's a long list though.

Finished up Dead to Me. Definitely worth your time.

I have a lot of friends of all races, sexes, etc that have talked highly about the show. My mom, who doesn't watch a lot of series even asked me about it because one of her friends mentioned it. I just have a hard time getting over the Christina Applegate thingy lol.

 

[IrishLion]

Watched the Beastie Boys Story on Apple+ (got a year free with a new iPhone).

Maybe I don’t watch enough documentary content in general, but I thought it was a unique and well done style of story telling. Mixing photography, music and video clips with a stage presentation by Mike D and ADROCK was pretty cool.

Got bummed out by MCA’s untimely death all over again, and the regret is stronger than ever that I never got to see them live.

I've got Cox for the rest of the month then cutting the cord.

We're gonna do HBO in June and clean up a couple of shows. We've seen S1 & 2 of Westworld.

Then July it's on to Showtime.

Have Hulu this month. It's proved to be a great network for us. Seinfeld/Justified for me. The Little Lies show,d Handmades Tale & others for the girls.

 

[ACamp1900]

Longmire finally got super interesting,... on season 3 now. Once the whole election thing passed everything else just kicks into full gear

If you haven't watched Secession on HBO, give it a shot. If you like the dialog style of Billions, you'll like Secession.

I like Hulu, but they just don't have the volume of others. I follow the H's Tale, Castle Rock, Devs, and really enjoyed the Looming Tower (drama miniseries a few years ago on intelligence, or really the lack of, during 9/11). Still haven't done the Little Fires show, and have had Chance on my list for a while now. I was surprised Chance was canceled as I heard it got good reviews. Anyway, the cancellation moved it further down my list...

 

[Irish#1]

Just watched the first two episodes of Billions S5. Looks like it will be as good as previous seasons.

 

[Black Irish]

I picked "Narcos" back up. I watched the 1st 2 seasons when it first came out (remember how every other freaking guy had the theme song as his ring tone?). I thought the first 2 seasons were awesome but I wasn't sold on a season focused on Cali and having agent Pena as the lead would be as compelling. Pedro Pascal is a good actor, but his character really wasn't built to be a strong lead, he was better as the noble but morally compromised partner. Season 3 turned out better than I expected. It was smart to make it more of an ensemble with lots of different characters and intersecting story lines.

I'm into "Narcos: Mexico" now and it is definitely a step up from Season 3. The 2 lead characters are interesting so I look forward to the back-and-forth between the DEA and cartel threads. It's not like the first 2 seasons where you couldn't wait for them to get back to Pablo Escobar whenever he was off-screen. Wagner Moura did such an incredible job in that role.

 

[Irish YJ]

Watching "Occupied" S1 this week on Netflix (3 seasons). 7.7 IMDB, 91%. Set in Norway, where the Russians have just invaded with the support of the EU (because Norway was shutting off oil). Slow the first couple episodes, but is very good once things pick up. On the last episode and already looking forward to S2.

Just watched the first two episodes of Billions S5. Looks like it will be as good as previous seasons.

I'm letting it build up on my DVR since we're in plague days, and binging other stuff. It's been hard not watching.

I did the same (watched early seasons, then never got back to it). I finally finished it up early this year and agree with everything you said. I really enjoyed the Mexico series, and loved how they pulled the other characters in from time to time. I'm hoping they bring back Pena.

Going to post in the What Are You Listening thread too...

Watched the premier of Laurel Canyon last night on Epix. Awesome documentary. If you're a fan of 60s and 70s music, it's a much watch. First episode included stuff on CSN, Buf Spr, Joni Mitchell, Clapton, Mommas and Papas, Doors, and a lot more. I was totally blown away to find out that Alice Cooper was part of the whole Laurel Canyon scene hanging out with the Monkeys, CSN, M&Ps, etc.. I just can't imagine lol... Hyped for E2.

Right in the wheel house of my youth. Will definitely watch this.

Watched the show on Joe Exotic that was on Investigation ID last night. Don't waste your time. It was 98% about the life of the guy that was filming Joe for the reality show.
