I'm in a show hole, need suggestions

It’s weird and jarring to watch the first episode now and see how different the tone and feel of it is.

Tulsa King

The old man-ification of TV is here​

“Individually, each of these shows evinces a markedly different tone and style — mob dramedy, spy thriller, western — but together, they form variations on a theme. All deliver a nostalgic machismo across rugged landscapes, testosterone-fueled genres in gritty environments, with themes of the American West. They’re part of a striking television trend ushered in by the massive success of Taylor Sheridan’s brutal Yellowstone, and they have one more thing in common with that show, which stars Kevin Costner. They’re headed up by the biggest silver-screen stars of the 1970s, ’80s, ’90s, and, thanks to our baby boomer-infused culture, arguably today.”

Obviously those shows weren’t written for _____

It’s entertaining. And actually it has a very diverse set of characters that the white boomer male treats with respect and as family.

Jack Ryan on Amazon Prime is entertaining (at least for me). When you see John Krasinski you need to forget him being Jim Halpert.

Only read the book. Worth the watch I take it?

Just finished it. It was ok. I found it hard to sit through more than 1 episode at a time. 1 hour felt like 3. Draining.

On to Chippendales.

Too lazy to look back 73 pages, but can I assume 1883 has been discussed here?

Friggin amazing, also too lazy to write it all over again:

The Beavis & Butthead reboot (film and series) is solid.

 

[Shrmdougluvr]

Yeah, when it was done I was ready for a lot more episodes.

I watched it and mostly enjoyed it, but thought it was actually too long. Jesse Eisenberg can be kind of a tough hang, particularly when he has this kind of role.

Just finished Kaleidoscope on Netflix. Heist story with a weird presentation format: no episode numbers. Episodes are provided in a random sequence by Netflix for viewing in any order. Each episode covers a significant event anywhere from years before the actual heist to 6 months after.

Any Apple TV+ watchers tried Servant yet? It's a Philly-based M. Night Shyamalan show. Starts out dark, but goes on a wild ride, and not without humor. Stars Lauren Ambrose (she was the younger sister on Six Feet Under). And Rupert Grint, who was in all those Harry Potter movies, plays a very different character.

It took a lot longer than expected but I finished Andor yesterday.
I think it is one of the best shows I’ve ever seen.
Such incredible storytelling and dialog, especially episode 10.

I'm wrapping this up and agree. I'm not a star wars enthusiast but have watched all the movies and recent offshoots. This was the best plot and best overall

I’m still not finished with it, but yeah—so good. Fantastic writing, especially the dialog.

Jumping into the Yellowstone world, and on CuseRegular's recommendation we started with 1883. 2 episodes in, I think we've made a good decision

Bad Sisters is fun. I didn't love the ending, but i'm glad i went along for the ride. Sharon Horgan is great. Watch her in Catastrophe.

Tried to resume Yellowstone, but I guess I watched so long ago that it didn’t even save. I dont remember where I left off. Might restart.

Cunk on Earth is quite funny.

 

[PoppyHart]

3 episodes into Mayor of Kingstown. Pretty hardcore. Not for the queasy.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

I finished Alice in Borderland. Loved it. Profoundly impacted me. Closest thing to Lost I've ever found.

 

[Guy Fawkes]

Fauda on Netflix. On season 3, good show so far

 

[orangeinohio]

South Side is really, gd funny.
There are three seasons on HBO Max.

 

[TheHaze315]

I’m sure it’s been mentioned here before but I’ll bump it because season 4 comes out tomorrow, You is a great series on Netflix.
