Message: [QUOTE="Zelda Zonk, post: 5480130, member: 966"] Started watching [B]American Primeval[/B] (Netflix) this week. Directed by Peter Berg. With Betty Gilpin, Taylor Kitsch, Dane DeHaan, and Shea Whigham. The American West (Utah) and the warring factions of the US Gubmit, the Mormons, and the "Indians." It is brutal and dark and ugly, but the productions is of such a high quality that all the ugliness is rendered beautifully. Well acted. [B]Fisk[/B] (Netflix) is back for season three. Cute comedic look at a curmudgeonly single woman attorney in Australia. I actually watched [B]Leanne[/B] (Netflix) all the way through. It's from Chuck Lorre, the guy who did Big Bang Theory and Two and a Half Men, etc. So, it's not deep. I do like Leanne Morgan's standup, despite that accent. Her sister on the show is Kristen Johnson (Third Rock from the Sun). It's a light, easily-digestible sitcom. Not going to change the world, but it was amusing. [B]Hostage[/B] (Netflix). British action drama about a fictitious Prime Minister and factions vendetta-bent on undermining her and her politics. It looks and feels like a serious-ish series, and yet there are some consistent dumb things. [SPOILER="Spollers"]So, there's a kidnapping, assassination attempt(s), and threats to heads of state, yet the security detail is close to non-existent. They just walk out into the street, do press conferences on the street with no security... Can't be how it really is in the UK, right? Ugggh. Some other stuff. Like a bomb that does more structural damage than it should, considering its size, and how it somehow lets certain people in its path just wake up and walk away. [/SPOILER] Still, it's a decent watch. I saw the credits but still didn't even recognize Julie Delpy until episode 4... [B]Platonic[/B] (Appletv). I guess Seth Rogen isn't as popular here as i would have expected. Anyway, this is season two of a show that wasn't great in season one. As much as I love Rosebyrne, this show probably makes you dislike Rogen even if you didn't previously. I mean, maybe not in a serious way, because it's a role, but it's not an endearing role. There are some fun moments, and Rosebyrne is always funny and charming, but i wouldn't actually recommend this to anyone. [B]Untamed[/B] (Netflix). Eric Bana and Sam Neil. Some bad stuff happens in the great wilderness of a national park. Decent watch, but not a super memorable classic. [B]Night Always Comes[/B] (Netflix, movie). Vanessa Kirby. "Emotional crime thriller about a woman's frantic mission to save her family's home." Again, not bad, but i don't think i'd recommend it, unless you're a particular fan of Kirby or Jennifer Jason Leigh, who plays her mother. "Gritty, dark." [/QUOTE]
