What TV Series Are You Streaming Lately?

[Jr Mouse]

I see we've scrubbed SW from his CV, the, because boy howdy was TLJ a dumpster fire for none of the toxic reasons weirdo SW nerds would have you believe

Not at all. TLJ was the best Star Wars film since the original trilogy. I found it a highly enjoyable addition to the franchise.

If you want to include the Star Wars tv shows in the mix, I would be inclined to place Andor above it.

A truly awful spectacle that ran probably 70 minutes too long, all to convey the notion that the Force is for all of us, only to almost fully repudiate the idea (admittedly, can't fault RJ for this) in the very next flick.
Andor, though hardly anything close to great, was far better, as was Rogue One.
Though, in fairness, SW is largely a boring story (less than accidental almost incest) for children.
But, ya, TLJ? Bad bad bad.

TLJ get's tainted by the following movies, not its fault

Andor, though hardly anything close to great

SW is largely a boring story .

I see nerves have been touched.

Musta mistakenly stumbled into a Marvel convention

Fwiw, I genuinely did like Rogue One, and not just weighing it against my baseline expectations SW flicks. Everything else (yes, including Andor) is a worthy time suck, but little more, for me.

 

[Jr Mouse]

Eh. I’m not going to argue the merits of TLJ here. Been there and done that in the Star Wars thread. So we will have to just agree to disagree.

If you really want to debate the movie, there's a different thread for that.

really enjoying Fleishman is in Trouble

We finished this tonight. Very well done. Great performances all around. I read an article (New Yorker maybe?) that mentioned the casting decisions were made to intentionally use actors who were well known as teenagers so their mid-life crisis would have more impact on audiences who saw them grow up in the public spotlight.

Just started 1923 (sequel to 1883 and prequel to Yellowstone) previously watched all of 1883, but have not watched any Yellowstone.

So far (one episode in) wife and I are liking it. It looks to be an interesting piece of historical fiction. I really enjoyed the wagon train aspect of 1883, and thought it was very well done. Will see where 1923 takes us.

This has a definite "I was into them before they got famous" vibe.

My wife and I felt the same way. Practically crying. That last scene shot through the window with Linda Ronstadt song was so touching. Took me a while to notice that Frank was Murray Bartlett from season 1 of White Lotus. He did a great job in both!

 

[SixOhNine]

Ugh, my wife and I are watching it together, and she went out of town, so I have to wait for Ep.3. Which sucks, because I keep seeing stuff that's like, "Oh. My. God. Episode 3 might be the greatest hour of TV ever made!"

Sorry man, I feel for you because I hate even seeing stuff like that when I'm watching stuff (I watched it last night so I caught a few headline glimpses as well).

But don't worry too much...its not like it is some epic cliffhanger season finale or something getting hyped up. Just a mid season bit of storytelling that was very well executed. Think of it like going to a movie because Siskel and Ebert gave it 2 big old thumbs up.

 

[NorCal]

Yeah, they did that story really well. Nick is a fantastic actor.

 

[SixOhNine]

Yeah, I'll survive, I just want to watch it now. I'm not good at deferred gratification. It doesn't help that everything is shut down for Texas Icemageddon, and there's nothing to do but stay inside and watch TV.
