ShocksMyBrain 9,364 Posted July 19, 2018 Author Share Posted July 19, 2018 Finished Goliath. I’m a bit confused. 1st season was straight forward and awesome. 2nd season never got me the exposition I required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a lot of people to root for in this show but it is so addicting and a great binge watch so far. Almost done with season 2. Two episodes left. Loved the first two seasons and then I just fell off for whatever reason. Vera Farmiga is fantastic in that show. All the acting is great, really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fell off like fell off a cliff bad or went from great to just really good? I don't feel like the show changed. It was still good! I just don't always keep watching shows, even if they're still awesome. I don't have a ton of time for TV (3 yr old at home, wife also works full time) and sometimes I just find a shiny new toy and want to play with it. Shows that I've actually watched start to finish, every single episode: Firefly The Wire Boardwalk Empire Fargo Game of Thrones (so far) Better Call Saul (so far) That seriously is the whole list, I think. There are probably at least dozen shows that I love just as much as those (and more than Boardwalk Empire) but just can't find the time to finish. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen every episode of it as well and the quality really went down big time in the later seasons. It was a struggle to finish. Have not seen fargo at all. Is the show already over? they stopped pumping out new seasons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that was a contract dispute or he did a movie or something, but basically they just suddenly wrote him out of the show and it never recovered. Again, IMO. Fargo has only had 3 seasons, and I'm not sure if they'll do another one. But I HIGH HIGH HIGH HIGHLY recommend it. The 3rd season was my least favorite, but it was still quite good. Each season is a unique story but there are easter eggs linking them all, and linking them with the movie, too, so feel free to watch that again before starting the show. Btw, speaking of subsequent seasons dropping off, I forgot that I watched all of True Detective. S1 was possibly the greatest single season of television in history. S2 was NOT, lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a post-apocalyptic movie with potential, but tbe last twenty minutes absolutely killed the movie.Instead of providing any sense of resolution, the movie decides to wrap up on more cliffhangers without answering the questions that persisted throughout the movie. So, bad, that’s “How it Ends.” You were spot on with dissatisfying. It’s like they realized the movie was running long and just needed to find a way to bring up the credits. Good movie before that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what type of movies you like, but going with the Netflix originals I liked the movie Bright with Will Smith. A little Sci fi action with a pretty good story. The movie ANON looks like it will be good but haven't had a chance to watch it yet. I love how these movies on Netflix are getting A-list actors in lead roles.

Movie Pass has been a godsend. It is a amazing deal and pays for itself. I love big summer blockbusters this time of year............ LOVE WILL SMITH!!!! That 4 year hiatus he took killed all of his momentum. He was the biggest movie star in the world when he took that time off. Thanks again for the heads up! Def want to catch that now fam! WOOOO!!!!

Family is not as much into movies as I am. So I haven't been able to catch anything this summer. I was really looking forward to Jurassic world 2 and held off thinking I would see it with my Dad on my recent vacation but didn't have time. I am usually about 6 months behind and get them from the library when they are free! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShocksMyBrain 9,364 Posted July 28, 2018 Author Share Posted July 28, 2018 For the Stephen King fans, Castle Rock on Hulu has been intriguing thus far. Lots of call backs and references to King’s work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUBwins 10,075 Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 I really enjoyed the show on history channel called American Ripper. The show digs into a 125 year old cold case of HH Holmes, the first known serial killer in US, and try to prove he is the Jack the Ripper from London. His great great grandson is leading the investigation. Very fascinating. Sling has it on demand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McLoofus 35,182 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Ranking the top 100 episodes of TV this century.

The creators of it spent a good bit of time on it. I watched #32, planet earth II, Jungles. If you like nature shows, the series is fantastic. The iconic moment it talks about is a true jaw dropper. Blew my mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone recommend any Amazon series? We like the Mrs. Maisel show. So-so on Goliath but haven't really gotten very far at all. Not sure about Hand of God. Didn't like American Gods at all.
