First episode looked pretty good. Mostly just set-up, but quite mysterious...
Fwiw one darn good sex scene too...the lady can ride!

Anyone excited for the new Walking Dead with Rick and Michonne? I was disappointed with the original and the spin offs. I am almost certain this new one will be just as bad but the trailer looks good. I'll probably get sucked in and be disappointed again.
I'll watch it just as I've watched all of them. Some better than others but I think the expectations for the new one are probably high. Depends how well it's written if it will be any good or not.

Watched the Fargo Season 5 finale this week. A bit of a disappointment given the amazing first 9 episodes...
Blown away by this show. It’s better more evolved than money heist and they did the love intricacies perfectly like a work of art. I was smiling grinning and crying all at once and many times throughout the show. WTG bravo 
watch it with original language and subtitles if needed. No dubs!

UK and Australian versions of American Gladiators started this week, the third series for each after 1990's and 2008-09. This show gets resurrected every time there's a screen writer's strike.
Just got around to watching Season 2 of "The Bear". Pretty standard stuff until Episode 6, then Holy Fuck!
Will resume tonight with Episode 7, but probably #6 was a one-off, as it was a flash-back episode...

HAHA. No, they didn't but I discovered that Sarah Lancashire, who plays Julia Child, also starred in the Brit crime series Happy Valley as Police Sergeant Catherine Cawood. That was one of the first (and best) series I've seen. Quite intense and I'm planning to re-visit it.

This finally dropped today. I've been waiting for this for like two years as the date kept getting pushed back. Don't think it will be as good as Band of Brothers or The Pacific, but first episode was decent.
Just watched the first episode of the new season of Feud, on FX. Subtitled "Capote Vs. The Swans"
About Truman Capote, who used his close relationships with the wives of important New Yorkers and the secrets they divulged to him as a basis for an article published in Esquire. The article was entitled "La Cote Basque, 1965", being a favourite lunch and gossip spot they frequented.
Well acted, well written, and quite entertaining.
From the internet:
In 1965, Truman Capote, the celebrated author of works like In Cold Blood and Breakfast at Tiffany’s, found himself deeply entrenched in New York City’s elite social circles. These circles were dominated by a group of impeccably groomed and wealthy women known as the “Swans”. These ladies were not just beautiful; they were also cunning and intelligent, adept at capturing and maintaining men’s attention.
Capote was considered a trusted confidant by the Swans. They confided in him about their extramarital affairs, drug use, and petty quarrels. However, little did they know that Capote was secretly gathering all this information for his next novel, Answered Prayers.
In 1975, Esquire magazine published an 11,000-word essay by Capote titled “La Côte Basque, 1965”. In this scandalous piece, he laid bare the Swans’ deepest secrets. The revelations included a husband’s affair with the governor’s wife and a fatal accident that Capote reframed as a murder. The Swans recognized themselves as thinly veiled characters in Capote’s work, and the fallout was immense. Doors that were once open to him slammed shut, and the betrayal shook their world12.
“Feud: Capote vs. the Swans” dramatizes this stunning betrayal and its aftermath. Tom Hollander portrays the eponymous writer, capturing the tension and drama that unfolded when Capote’s inner circle discovered the truth.

Heard this was well made but factually inaccurate. Still worth a watch I'm sure...
It's a fictionalized account of her life. The characters were real people, as are some of the events, but that's about it. Sofía Vergara is excellent at portraying her. She should be seriously considered for an Emmy.
Yup, bumping this one. I was on a bit of Donald Glover kick after watching Community do I decided to check out Mr. and Mrs. Smith on Prime and it was pretty great.
I'm surprised that it was renewed for a second season given Prime's track record of canning shows. I'm still pissed they cancelled The Peripheral after renewing it.
Just to add to this, I've also just started watching The Office. I watched the first couple seasons when it first started but fell off with it, it was around the time they changed Michael Scott from an insensitive asshole to a well-meaning boss whose heart was in the right place but didn't always go about it the right way because it was around the time that Steve Carell was becoming a star and they were worried that playing a character like that would hurt his image.
