jpelg Posted July 11, 2023 Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 (edited) Finished Deadloch (mentioned previously) - recommended. Also gone through The Horror of Dolores Roach (Prime) - aka, the Sweeney Todd of Washington Heights. Crazy, mostly fun ride.

TMoney Posted August 30, 2023 Report Share Posted August 30, 2023 (edited) I finished Succession. I was a bit late to the game on this one, but I have my reasons. I tried watching Season 1 back when it originally aired but I couldn't understand why people liked the show. Sure, there was wealth-porn for those that are in to that kind of thing, but the characters were so off-putting that I ended up tuning out about 3-4 episodes in. Fast forward to this year, and I decided to give the show another try given how buzzy people were talking about their final season. The critical excitement over the show served as a sort of implicit promise that if you can make it through season 1 that the journey is worth it. Now, having reached the end, I would say I enjoyed the show... but not anything more than that. This felt almost like a hate-watch as I really didn't cheer for any of the main characters. They all felt like such terrible people. Kendall had the energy to do the job but was a buzz-word loving airhead. Siobhan had the brains but over-played her hand and walked in to traps at every opportunity. Roman was just a monster. Like his dad but with none of his dad's redeeming qualities. Also as a beneficiary of of nepotism myself there was a certain amount of uncomfortableness in having that reflected back at me. Still, quality show, well acted, high production values, but not necessarily one I'd vouch for. I don't regret my time watching it but if they came out with a fifth season I am not sure I'd be excited to tune back in. The premise wore out its welcome for me sometime at the beginning of the last season. Edited August 30, 2023 by TMoney 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robm321 Posted August 30, 2023 Report Share Posted August 30, 2023 ^ Good points you make. The lack of nuance or complexity in 100% of the characters made it a shallow ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blessingx Posted August 30, 2023 Report Share Posted August 30, 2023 But take two brothers and a sister struggling in the shadow of a domineering parent and follow the steps of the family business succession, but move it to a Chicago Italian beef sandwich restaurant - perfection. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, just what I needed to know to be pretty sure that I'm not going to spend my precious time watching the "adventures" of a bunch of people that doesn't have any interest to me. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blessingx Posted September 24, 2023 Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 A sleepless internet rabbit hole lead me to the early 80s failure One of the Boys. Any chance anyone has heard of it? Micky Rooney gets out of a retirement home to move in to his grandson’s (Dana Carvey) college pad with roommate (Nathan Lane). Double bonus: Scatman Crothers as Rooney’s friend and Meg Ryan as Carvey’s girlfriend. And it’s ahhh somehow not very good. The past is weird.

swt61 Posted October 15, 2023 Report Share Posted October 15, 2023 Not sure if this qualifies as a TV show, but I've been watching a few different YouTube series about off grid building and living. One is called 'Life Uncontained'. It's about a couple and their (eventually) two children. They build a home in rural Texas from steel shipping containers. Then later buy a plot of land as a vacation home and build a road, ready the land and build a cabin, again from a shipping container. They're a cute couple and very willing to get their hands dirty The second I just found in the last few days. It's called 'The Outsider'. It's a Father and Son who build a log cabin from scratch in Northern Ontario. Both are very skilled and I get tired just watching how much they achieve together. I find both shows fascinating. I know that the young couple make their entire living from their YouTube channel. And it's obviously a decent living. That's also quite fascinating to someone of my generation. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeymad Posted October 15, 2023 Report Share Posted October 15, 2023 (edited) Ha, welcome to the uncontained family. I've been watching Spenser and Mac for about 5 years now ever since they first connected the two containers. Pretty amazing journey, and I learned a lot. I have enjoyed 'Michygoss' {Canadian} and the earlier videos from 'Cajun Country Livin'' {they must have gotten a marketing team this year}. Ed: I was using vv this thread for non-traditional things that I watch. But serial YT is pretty close to TV...
