I'll credit Paul with this much, I think he knew knocking out Tyson cruelly would have earned him no love from the crowd.

Dune, by HBO.

After the pilot episode I’m not sure I know what to make of this yet. I feel Iike I need to hear what Jeffy thinks!

The final season of Somebody Somewhere. I really love this show. 

Definitely moments you’re reminded everyone involved with this documentary is less intelligent than its subject, but still a decent survey and worth a watch - Ken Burn’s Leonardo da Vinci. Just be aware, like most Burn’s work, the narrative is a bit simplified.

Arcane - Season 2 on Netflix.

Fantastic second season. I’ll go out on a limb and say that any critic’s “best tv of the year” lists that don’t have this on it are mistaken.

The production quality is amazing, and they must have spent an absolute fortune making the show. Great characters, great music, great art. Story got confusing towards the end but by that point I was swept up and happy to be on the ride.

Highly recommended. I don’t play the game at all and throughly enjoyed this.

A Man on the Inside 

What starts out as a comedy caper mystery, sends a love letter to San Francisco with its location shoots, finally in blends in a poignant reflection on aging and loss.

Well worth binging.

 

Black Doves

A heartwarming Christmas tale of friendship, deceit, bloodshed and revenge.

I may never think of Paddington the same way, again.

Quite a ride, and we should have a series 2 to look forward to.

Yes, I've been watching that as well and have enjoyed it.

I'm fascinated by this one. I made it through about half of the first episode. I thought it was the single worst thing I have tried to watch in as long as I can remember. Just horrible. A bad parody of a terrible show.

About half the reviews seem to agree with me. The other half seem to find it to be campy great fun. I guess it just depends what you want from TV?

That reminds me of, and maybe based on (?)…

I watched two episodes, sometimes shows need the benefit of the doubt for they get better into the season. This wasn't the case. For me one of the failures is that I can't believe Keira Knightley delivering such tough punches and kicks.

I didn't make through the second season of the Diplomat either. The first season was just OK and had hopes the second was going to be entertaining, but I got bored by the end of the first episode. I'm getting old I guess.

Squid game 2.

Also, the previous post was 666'th in this thread.

How do you see/check that? Thread and comment Id numbers are much larger. If that's because my opinion is anathema... it's OK, I like Keira as an actress in other roles and she's kind of pretty.

Just finished season 1. Loving it so far. Thanks for sharing.

An easy 6 part series. 

A Westward expansion story, with some interesting side stories, including Brigham Young.
