My wife loved it. I sat down and tried to watch an episode. OMG!! I had to leave the room. Stallone was terrible. Just something I couldn't get into. If it is a comedy, I understand, because Stallone was comical. If it is supposed to be serious, they got the wrong actor. If it is both..............

Thanks for the reminder. I think I watched the first season and then forgot about it while I waited for the next one to come out.wab wrote: Thu Oct 24, 2024 7:54 am I’ve been watching the show “From”. It’s incredible.
I also started rewatching Stranger Things.
I'm into dystopian/post-apocalyptic shows and recently finished watching Man in the High Castle on Amazon, an alternative history/sci-fi show about what the world would be like if the Nazis and Japan won World War II. It started off strong but in the later seasons some episode were a little flat so I give it a solid B+.
I'm currently 2 episodes into The Colony, a show that starts off at a time where aliens have taken over portions of the US (maybe the entire world) and follows resistance fights determined to free themselves. So far I'm liking it.

The book was surprisingly short but the series expanded it out nicely up until the end, which I thought was premature and ruined the series. But hopefully not for you, Xee.Xee wrote: Sat Nov 02, 2024 12:58 pmThanks for the reminder.

I gave up on Yellowstone, the violence was totally unrealistic. I am, however, waiting to see if 1923 will be continued.Arkansasbear wrote: Tue Nov 05, 2024 9:42 am Yellowstone returns this week!!!!!!!!!!!!

What are some good 30 minute shows?
Most of what I watch tend to be an hour.
Doing my rehab runs on a treadmill or elliptical. Only going about 30 minutes right now and need something to occupy my mind. I hate doing that crap inside but don't have 100% faith in my knee.
I've got YouTube TV, Disney, Prime and Paramount.
Thanks.

I'm incredibly depressed that this will be the last season, but I get why. They are going out hot though, this season has been fantastic so far.

I've only seen the movie, but it sounds like the series holds up pretty well. If I ever start watching TV again, I'll have to check it out.wab wrote: Wed Nov 27, 2024 9:43 amWhat We Do in the Shadows.

That is really encouraging. I was wondering if they could really stretch it out or if it would just be kind of flat. Glad to hear it's worth seeing!dplank wrote: Wed Nov 27, 2024 4:00 pmI loved the movie and was apprehensive about the show....I now prefer the show over the movie, it's that good.LacertineForest wrote: Wed Nov 27, 2024 1:50 pm

Over my vacation I watched Lioness. My wife had watched season 1 and started 2 and kept wanting me to watch it with her. I binged season 1 and we finished up season 2. Pretty good. Nicole Kidman played someone unlike I had ever seen her play. Zoe Saldana was very good in it. Have not heard if there is going to be a season 3 yet.

American Primeval on Netflix is great. Limited series…6 episodes that very in length from a little over 30 minutes up to a little over an hour.
I think it was supposed to be a movie but they didn’t want to condense it to a shorter running time.

HALO is just bad. I started the first season and made myself finish it, but I think that's it for me.
Also I'm excited for the next season of Reacher.

So much road and so few places, so much friendliness and so little intimacy, so much flavour and so little taste.
Friendship is better than fighting, but fighting is more useful.

Finally got to start on season 2. (knee rehab is up to being able to ride for an hour on a bike so enough time to get in a full episode). DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!! That got off to a fast start.
