Just started watching designated survivor last night with Keifer.  Very good so far.

Not on Netflix, but we purchased the 1st season of Brockmire last night and laughed pretty heartily through the first 3 episodes.  I think we got it through AMC but it originally aired on IFC. 

NSFW language.

 

Brockmire is awesome. The new season is kinda weird though. 

I am almost finished rewatching Weeds. 

We we are trying Altered Carbon. So far it is ok. 

I had never seen The Wire until this year. It is great.

We liked Weeds a lot.  I've tried to get into The Wire but stopped after a couple of episodes.  I should probably try again.

I think it gets much better starting with season 2. After season one, I was willing to keep giving it a chance. Soon into season 2, we were hooked.

I loved the Wire at first. On closer inspection and considering David Simon and his beliefs I no longer think it’s all that great. Some great aspects like the juking of crime stats, which is real, but a little too much white man bad.

I watched Marc Maron’s stand up End Times Fun on Netflix. I’d give it a solid B. I’m a big fan but I know he’s not for everyone. My wife laughed like once. :mellow:

Haven't heard of this one.  Subtitles are fine. Can you give a one sentence overview? 

Speaking of Sci fi w subtitles, check out Dark if you haven't already.

They've made a series about jacking off after making your hand fall asleep?

Just watched Greater on Netflix. 

Based on a true story.  Decent football movie.  
 

Sort of like Rudy but better and more tragic.

Not a series, but Molly's Game was a decent movie.  Based on the true story of Molly Bloom who ran private high stakes poker games for the rich and famous.  Check it out.

I've traded Netflix for reading after binging on Ozark. 
 

One of my kids said In Treatment on HBO is good. Anyone watch ?

Watched it a few nights ago, I agree was pretty good but I generally like most card/gambling type movies

Yeah.  That was the draw for me too.  Have you seen the Cooler with Baldwin and Macy?  Maria Bello is in it too.

Very true, but then it's impossible to top scenes with a serial killer discussing how difficult it is to fock his mom's severed head.

Kim's Convenience.  Comedy about a Korean family convenience store.  It has a bit of All in the Family vibe.  First ep covers how the Gay pride parade is going thru the neighborhood.  I think its canadian, 4 seasons so far.

Just finished this 5 part limited series here's a brief quote from a review I read

The Family seems to think it’s only telling a compelling story if the Fellowship is actually a potent political force. But there’s something fascinating, and tragic, in the way it documents a group of ordinary men so easily convinced that they’re exceptional, even to the point of being handpicked by God like ripe fruit in a celestial grocery store. It’s a thread in contemporary politics that runs all the way to Number One Observatory Circle, if not the White House.

I’ve watched more TV since the lockdown then I have in years.

Kath and Kim: Australian sitcom sort of cringe comedy. It was great, watched all 4 seasons.

My Octopus Teacher: Documebtary about a Dover in South Africa who befriends and follows around an octopus for a year. Also great.

In Search of Darkness (Prime): 4+ hour documentary on 80s vhs era horror. Also great.
