Watching S2 of The Boys.

Don't make the same mistake I did and watch Inside the Boys, typical liberal and sick minded garbage talk.

Pretty interesting if you're a bit nerdy.....
Sounds neat - any place to watch it on demand online if you're not a PBS subscriber?Quote:

Low Winter Sun, Amazon.........pretty good.
Oof, season 2 of The Boys is bad, and not just for the overt “social commentary.” Season one was funny and felt like it was building to something, season two is just all over the place.
I just watched the first episode of Utopia on Amazon, it’s weirdly interesting.
Agree. I?m not going to watch anymore. It?s worse than a social commentary though.Quote:

Watching "Mystery Road", Australian detective series. Pretty good.
Watched a documentary American Murder, about the Shannan Watts murder. We all know how it turned out, but some of the details behind their relationship, prior to murder, was disturbing.
Best as I recall, Letterkenny only got a couple of mentions here & I wanted to put it back into rotation. Funny stuff.
Started watching the movie that I am guessing was the pilot.Quote:

Is the series better for consistent volume and more understandable?
Thanks
I recommend "The Queen's Gambit" if you have access to Netflix.
I watched that last week and was surprised how much I enjoyed it !!!Quote:

We are watching it now. Overall it's pretty good, some slow spots.Quote:

Agree with the good acting from other places.Quote:

We called it our summer of Midsomer, watching about 5 episodes a week during the summer.
I was hoping Mystery Road would be as good.
I do admit the accent and phrasing lost me about twenty percent of the time, but I bumbled along.
Really? you're not seeing the overt message. Without posting a SPOILERQuote:

Finished season 2 of The Boys. I liked it, no pairs with any of the social commentary as they pretty much nailed it.
I'm like 5 episodes deep into Utopia and it's absolutely terrible. Every once in a while there is a decent hook that gets me to watch the next episode, but I'm surprised I've made it this far. Big let down.
Utopia was choppy all the way through. I got to the end and was glad I did - it gets much more action-y as the story nears its conclusion.Quote:

Yeah, some good stuff in the later episodes, IMO. Vintage crazy John Cusack (think "Grosse Pointe Blank").Quote:

Only because the ending is not what you think is going to happenQuote:

I was hoping for more of the aerospace side and less drama. Will see what season 2 brings.Quote:

Community is the funniest comedy series I've ever seen, hands down.
The first season of Norsemen was very, very funny.
I really enjoyed the first season of Space Force, but I can understand why some wouldn't be drawn in to it.
I haven't found a drama series I've like since Breaking Bad. It set the bar too high.

Did you try Ozark?
Space Force fell out of orbit for me. I tried, I just couldn't keep watching. Then again, I'm not a big fan of Steve Carell.Quote:

English subtitled, I had read the book years ago, great movie.
Yes, it was a lot like breaking bad. But I felt like Breaking Bad was told like a tale of folly, or a cautionary tale, whereas I felt like Ozark was more like crime as entertainment, which I don't enjoy. I know it sounds weird...Quote:
