Great TV series - What are you watching now?

stein_325i · 01-29-2022, 10:57 PM

Wife and I started Yellowjackets and we are hooked! 4 episodes in with crazy suspense and tension, and very interesting stories. And great to see Christina Ricci again with her excellent and sociopathic performance.

This looks good. Might start watching it myself. Are you watching on Showtime?

Yep, we're using a friends login as other than this and Dexter New Blood, showtime doesn't offer much for us. The last time we probably subscribed to it was when Weeds and the original Dexter was on.

i'd give season 1 a B+. good start, slow middle, solid ending. i think both ricci and juliette lewis are awesome...although lewis seems be morphing into a female version of jack nicholson -- she's enough of a character just being herself that she hardly needs to act. looking forward to season 2.

Alfisti · 02-02-2022, 08:02 AM

I can't get into it. It's so scattered jumping back and forth. It should just be a movie, they keep delaying the inevitable melt down in the woods........ i dunno... meh.

We just finished it last night and can't wait for season 2. One thing that really impressed us was the way they were able to keep us in suspense and guessing for both timelines throughout the episodes. Curious to see what winter will bring for the Yellowjackets.

*SPOILERS ON DEXTER BELOW*

cmyx6go we're late, but we finally also finished Dexter. Overall ending was not nearly as bad as the original series. I think it was the right choice to kill off Dexter so that his story could be done for good, but honestly I wish they would have had it be Batista and Angela that get Dexter and not Harrison. I feel like they could have stretched the season maybe one or two more episodes to so something with that which would have been more interesting especially since Angela was such a smart and interesting character.

Funny you posted this today. I took a ride up to our property in PA today. I was looking around and thinking I was in that new Dexter town. Will post pics tomorrow, just not sure what thread.

I agree they could have went in different directions. You may want to put a spoiler alert notice at the top of your post.

I finished the first half a couple of days ago. The second half should be good.

Just starting ARCHIVE 81.
Am I in for disappointment or entertainment? 🤔

For many years I’ve heard about The Wire and some have claimed it is the best show ever created.

School me, begin watching it or pass?

I would NOT go that far. It's really good if you like the whole "Drugs, Prison, Gangster" genre. But I can name 50 better shows easily.

Watch it, excellent series. Might take a few episodes to get into but it really is great.

Always heard the same and tried watching it a few times but never got through more than an episode or two.

aroundworld · 02-03-2022, 04:37 AM

Lately I've been watching a lot of shows on Netflix. I just finished watching The Witcher. I'm already looking forward to the sequel. If you like fantasy then you should definitely check it out.

It's an excellent show, some of the stuff reminds me of my time doing drug work, some very funny stuff as well. Great cast, great characters.

agreed. you need to fully commit to season one. i had a couple stop / restart efforts as well, but it really starts clicking about midway through season one. and it just continually builds over all 4 seasons.

dont get me wrong, there are some amazing stand-out episodes, but 'the wire' seems to be the classic example of the whole being greater than the sum of the parts.

I took a little road trip yesterday to our PA property. I couldn't seem to shake the feeling that Dexter would come running out of the woods and through the field wearing his coveralls toting a rifle. Can you see him?

I actually liked it - I give it 7 out of 10. I was worried it was going to end with some lame explanation, but it was decent.

I'll wait a year until I can buy Dexter on Amazon. Weeds is one of my favorite shows. The other good Showtime show is Homeland.
