The show makes me hungry. In fact, today I had to go find an Italian sub after watching them eat cappicola and prosciutto on the show.

Goodfellas also makes me hungry.

Never could get into the Sopranos! But Goodfellas!! Top 10 movie!
 
Been watching a lot of Misdomer Murders on live tv on Amazon. Love the show, the characters, the plots, and the extreme ways that people get murdered on the show....I mean, death by chocolate??? LOL!

If you like murder mysteries, check it out!
 
I recently watched a show on Netflix called Behind Her Eyes.

It's one of those ones where you think you know the twist, but the possibilities keep changing, and when the twist comes, BAM! Hits like a truck. An "I can't believe THAT just happened" kind of show. I really liked it

Just started this from the beginning last night after we ran out of other shows to watch. He looked up best HBO shows and Sopranos is #1. My spouse hasn't ever watched one episode. He's been living under a rock apparently lol, but I'm glad we're starting it over. It is a top show ever for me.

Been watching Never have I ever.....lol
 
Finished season 2 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds today. It was good, entertaining. Although it had one cringey episode that was almost universally disliked :D.
 
Watched Cocaine Bear on Amazon....I just don't know what to say about that...

Also watched the first three episodes of Shelter which started on Aug. 18th and started watching season one of an anime series called Made in Abyss

Watched The Society on Netflix. Did not realize it was one season and got angry it was left on a cliffhanger... :mad:

I've seen that advertised and it made no sense to me. I can't imagine the meeting that took place that greenlighted it.

I've started binge-watching Friday Night Lights. Never got into it when it was on originally, but it's not bad. I do like football shows and movies. There is a bit much soap opera aspect to it though and I'm not sure it will keep my interest for all 5 seasons.

Been watching Black Mirror. It is pretty good though some stories are kind of boring.

This is my BF's favourite show. I've watched some of the season 6 episodes and they've been interesting for sure. I haven't run into the boring ones yet lol


We finished the series Quarterback on Netflix. I'm excited to see who next year's quarterbacks will be for this series. The rest of my time has been filed with Soprano's (on season 3) and watching the Fantasy Footballers podcast on YouTube because I need to be prepared for my drafts this week and next :D

I thought Loch Henry, Smithereens, Playtest, Mazy Day and Crocodile were ok. Kinda boring. When I played it on Netflix it started it on season 6 and is going down. :confused: Im on season 3. There are a few I really liked.

Striking Vipers was straight up whacked. :eek:
 
Binge watching Wheel of Time again because season 2 starts soon, and I forgot some of what happened in the first season, tee hee!!!
 
Watched the series painkiller. Eye opening and amazing what the rich can get away with.

I did not care for this new season of it. Not as "techie" as usual.

We just finished Twisted Metal though, thought it was pretty good. Not for kids though...

Cocaine Bear is a riot! And a mostly true story...

Also, the young kid in it plays in "Sweet tooth" which is a great show, and kid friendly.
Still on Sopranos...season6, only a few episodes left.

We finished Sopranos, I thought I had made a post...lame ending. Worse than Dexter's lame ending.

I’m looking forward to season 2 of WoT myself but I am rather annoyed at them for how they’re portraying Loial. In the books he’s got eyebrows that hang down a long way and long upright ears.

I wish they’d incorporated that into the makeup because he’s also supposed to be ten feet tall. I get that the show wanted to avoid having to use VFX for every shot he’s in as it was just not in the budget, so I won’t complain that he’s not even close to ten feet tall.

But I fail to see how not wanting to use VFX would preclude giving the actor, who is quite good in the role even so, long drooping eyebrows and the ears.

Picky? Yeah, probably but I really loved the books, though it’s sad Jordan didn’t live long enough to write the last ones. When I heard they were making it into TV, I was really looking forward to a Loial that was more like the one in the book.

Enjoyed the wot series. Read the books as they came out. So a long time ago. Watching the series I’d forgot a lot so really can’t say how it’s going. I don’t know right now who Loial is. I’m guessing the thing they met in the library? Yes a shame Jordan passed. The books were always years apart. Seemed like he just didn’t have an ending. Got as far as the crossroads of twilight. Funny thing that book has been sitting on my night stand for 20 years now.

Loial is the Ogier - the very long lived, exceptionally tall people from the Steddings.

I believe this series is similar to Dope Sick which is the one I watched. All about Oxy and Purdue Pharmaceuticals. It is definitely sick and twisted what happened.

I was not a fan of the ending the first time I watched it. I won't be this time round either lol.

I didn't watch Dexter, so I cannot compare it.
 
It was great, but I can't really be specific about it, I don't want to spoil it for anyone.

True, I enjoyed some of the earlier seasons, can't say I have watched much of it recently though :(, just wanted to know what you thought :)!
 
Recently watched the mini-series Behind her eyes. Seems a middle of the road UK drama then the last two episodes it shoots out of the park.

Now watching the Mayan's M.C. , a sequel to Sons of Anarchy.

Then I might watch Dopesick which is meant to be a much better version than the newer Painkiller.

I was watching From (the spiritual successor to Lost) but wasn't really feeling it after a season or so.
 
We're watching an old BBC mystery series called Pie in the Sky, and enjoying it. The star is Richard Griffiths, who you guys may remember as Uncle Vernon in the Harry Potter movies. He really was a good actor; he died in 2013.

Also watched a couple of movies on Amazon Prime....one was Judy (about Judy Garland) with Renee Zellwegger, which was kind of exhausting and sad. The other was Three Thousand Years of Longing with Idris Elba and Tilda Swinton. Not sure what I think about that one yet.
 
I quite enjoy the UK and Eastern European mystery series. They do it so much better than the US series who always seem to solve a complex case in 45 min lol.
Nordic Noir would be the genre I'm favouring.

Idris Elba was great in Luther!
 
I quite enjoy the UK and Eastern European mystery series.

Trying to think of Eastern European country that makes any decent series. The only that comes to mind is Russia that isn't exactly Europe and its series aren't exactly decent. Eastern Europe are mostly poor, semi-poor, or just small and insignificant post-soviet countries with meek TV industry. You mentioned Nordic noir later, so maybe you meant North Europe?
 
I watched the film She Said yesterday which was about the NY Times expose of Harvey Weinstein. Sad and frustrating but also a very good film. Changes have taken place but not enough of them yet.

OK I guess more Northern than Eastern. I should probably say Scandinavian to be more accurate as they are mostly in that region.

Shows I'm thinking of:
- The Bridge (Denmark,Sweden)
- Bordertown (Based in Lappeenranta near the Russian border - but still in Finland)
- The Killing (Denmark)
- Wisting (Norway)
- Those who Kill (Denmark)
- Trapped (Iceland)
- Deadwind (Finland)

To name a few...

Yeah, that's North Europe alright, or North-West even :D.

That's funny, I didn't realize he was Uncle Vernon until you said it. It seems like there are only about 25 actors on British TV playing all the roles on their different shows. I spend half the time using the Prime Video X-ray feature that gives you the background on the actors and helps you figure out what else you've seen everyone in. I'm lost when I don't have that feature on other streaming services!

They do get a little repetitive and you sometimes get people who aren't exactly entertaining to watch. This one had some pretty likeable characters to follow.

Despite his girth I always like Richard Griffiths. He was an excellent actor and did some wonderful roles - I’ve seen him in quite a few films and TV shows,.

I like a lot of the BBC’s mysteries and comedies and so on and Pie in the Sky was one I watched regularly years ago.

Yeah, that was one of the reasons I haven't been watching it much anymore, but I will definitely check that season out!

Half an episode left of Black mirror. TBH if Netflix didnt start me on Season 6 when I hit play, I probably wouldnt have watched season 2. There were several good ones and a lot more snoozers.
 
Latest binge is DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. I do like my Sci-fi, Fantasy & the stuff based on the comics, even though I don’t read comics.
 
Just finished the first three episodes of season 2 of Wheel of Time, and also watching season one of two anime series, Re:Creaters and The Eminence in Shadow, all streaming on Prime.
 
Finished the first 3 too of wot. Now watching lioness with Zoe Saldana.
