TV 19 - Simpsons Did It

[SJHovey]

Cool. Thanks for the heads up!

Learning anything about your brethren? ;-)

I'm going to be honest with you, most of the people that I'm seeing interviewed don't fall into your stereotypical GOP categories.

High school grads, eh?

Kind of reminded me, a little, of that group that always got together after class and played Dungeons and Dragons, seemed like they were smart, but different.

TBF, the only thing that saved me from that was sex drive. I have no idea how any male can spend the years between 15 and 18 as anything other than hunter/killer.

The WWE Network is dead and will now be a part of Peacock. So for $4.99 a month you can now watch every wrestling match ever put on video (with a few exceptions) and every WWE event.

Good for fans but now the wrestlers just had another income source stripped away from them.

The Lady and the Dale, a documentary mini-series on HBO.

Sort of a cliched story of a con artist from Indiana, who fathers multiple children by multiple women before abandoning them, buys a printing press and starts printing U.S. currency until the Secret Service and the other feds catch up to him, fakes his own death at the hands of the mob, goes underground for many, many years, until he emerges as a transgender woman aiming to put Detroit out of business through a three-wheeled automobile, achieves Elon Musk level cult status, indicted for securities fraud, goes underground again and emerges selling roses on street corners in Texas.

Well, maybe it's not that cliched.

Did you watch it? I've seen a lot of commercials for it but had no idea what it was about. Thanks for the description.

The commercials tell me it's trying to rip off FX' Mrs. America.

Everything from the titles to the pacing and cuts to the period is the same. It don't have Cate Blanchett tho.

I did. Definitely worth a watch.

Sundance TV is showing Roots tonight and tomorrow night to kick off Black History Month. I never saw it when it aired. Watching it now. I set the DVR as it’s on till 1am both nights and I can’t stay up that late anymore and really want to see it all.

 

[SJHovey]

Well, since it’s a documentary and the story doesn’t involve Blanchett or anyone associated with her, that probably couldn’t be helped.

Who watches "American Housewife" and how did their life come to this point?

Finished S1 of Lupin. I thought the acting of the lead as an adult was less than stellar, but otherwise the story, directing, plot and supporting cast more than made up for it. I would have preferred they wrapped the up the current arc during the season, but regardless I still look forward to S2.

I watched a few episodes of World's Toughest Prisons but it's preposterously repetitive and stopped.

Very much enjoying The Crown and Queen's Gambit with a slight nod to QG.

I don't get the hype around Bridgerton. It's freaking awful and I put an end to it.

It looks like S3 of Killing Eve will start on April 12th!!

I think you can get it on HBO Max, but regardless for those of you with access to watch the Italian family crime series Gomorrah I highly, highly recommend. Based upon an incredible book of the same name by Robert Saviano it's tremendously gritty and not plagued by clichés. So true to live he had to go into hiding from the Comorra whom the book and series is based upon. The series is every bit as strong as the original movie and I also recommend an accompanying moving called The Immortal that ties into the series.

 

[ScoobyDoo]

S4 of Killing Eve you mean?

 

[dxmnkd316]

Almost done with Raised by Wolves

im still not sure if this sucks or it’s good. But it went from interesting standard sci-fi plot to “what the fuck did I just see?”

 

[Slap Shot]

S4 of Killing Eve you mean?

Dammit - you're right. I thought there had already been 3 but when I googled, "next season killing eve" and only saw information on S3 I overrode my memory. In digging now S4 is approved but from what I can tell filming hasn't yet started?

The first episode of HBO's The Investigation was pretty good, imho. It's a dramatization of a true life crime story out of Finland from a few years ago in which the cops had to unravel a pretty complicated murder.

Since I already did all the leg work when i was researching what i wanted to replace Youtube TV. I thought I'd share it here for anyone else to use.

Is it Nordic Noir? I love that style.
