I know he's prob been in tons of serious stuff, but dunno if I can take Jason Bateman seriously......

drave 04-15-2020 03:55 PM

Just watch it LJ.

Lock Jaw 04-15-2020 04:47 PM

Need to finish Money Heist.... and then a few other things...

Seanny One Ball 04-15-2020 05:55 PM

4 episodes in, it is pretty good so far.
The dialogue could be better at times but it's mixing it up and I like that.

"Maybe it's just a phase!"

Seanny One Ball 04-15-2020 10:02 PM

Nearly finished season 1.

Good cast, solid acting, but a few issues with the plot and character development and I feel like somebody should have curbed the constant growing weirdness in the side stories/characters.

There are too many character exchanges where one person dominates, outwit or gotchas another too. It's almost every other scene. Just constant sour faces being returned after terse interplay or some droll piece of one-upmanship.

It needs some levity.

Rewatching The Sopranos as of a few days ago... almost done w season 2

Watching the following shows that are currently on air:

- Better Call Saul - Freaking great... Amazing season

- The Plot Against America - I like it so far... Good concept.

- Westworld - Not sure... worried that this season might be "another stinker"... "Maeve" character is so annoying...

- Beef House - New Tim & Eric show... funny...

New season of "Fargo" starts next week apparently... Good show...

Seanny One Ball 04-16-2020 08:17 AM

Westworld hasn't had a stinker, not by a long shot

Triple A 04-16-2020 01:50 PM

I liked season 1 a lot but I did not like season 2. Season 3 seems better so far but "Maeve's" character is still annoying and unlikeable to me. Show became shittier and more boring when they started focusing on her too much imo.

Seanny One Ball 04-16-2020 01:53 PM

Yeah...

The worst episode in season 2 was very Maeve centric, the one in Samurai World.

Seanny One Ball 04-16-2020 01:54 PM

Season 2 at least had that incredible plot line following A.I. reincarnation/life extension for humans.

That was top class.

Seanny One Ball 04-16-2020 01:55 PM

Will be a huge tragedy if they shot their wad with season 1 and can't carry the story into more interesting areas.

Lock Jaw 04-16-2020 02:40 PM

Never watched more than one episode of season 2...... Season 1 seemed like everyone was talking about it, and at the end it felt finished.....

But then they made season 2 and it seemed like no one was talking about it anymore, or cared....

Seanny One Ball 04-16-2020 03:41 PM

Season 2 was good overall, I really did enjoy it for the story with Peter Mullan.
First season was absolutely brilliant though, they aint beating that without a pre-planned follow up story...which they obviously didn't.

Seanny One Ball 04-17-2020 12:40 PM

Catching up on the latest season of "Better Call Saul".
Excellent as always.

Kerry Condon is a great actress and should have a bit more recognition. I would like to see her in more.

Seanny One Ball 04-17-2020 01:04 PM

Better Call Saul is much more fun than Breaking Bad overall. I enjoy the contrast of darkness and levity, Breaking Bad was darker but both cover the emotional spectrum very well. I just find because Saul is more a scamp rather than a full on sociopath you can relate to him. Was hard to feel like Walt a lot during Breaking Bad.

Seanny One Ball 04-18-2020 01:56 AM

Powerful orange juicing scene.

No hint of irony.

Good shit.

El Vaquero de Infierno 04-18-2020 07:21 AM

I'm at the beginning of the new season of Bosch, and I've finished season 3 of The Walking Dead. I am still watching the second season of The Big C.

Seanny One Ball 04-18-2020 09:16 AM

Walking Dead was great, even after Darabont and the zombie changes.
Season 6 was glorious. That's when it ended and the tone entirely changed from then onwards into fantasy.

Season 7 is Xena Warrior Princess.

GD 04-18-2020 09:52 AM

I am so overwhelmed in real life at the moment but I have these lined up

Mr. Robot, Season 04
Better Call Saul, Season 05
The Sopranos
Ozark

Lock Jaw 04-18-2020 05:36 PM

Been slow on watching Money Heist Part 4.... went from a show where I literally couldn't stop watch in Part 1 and 2, to now where I have gone days in between watching....

But just watched a bunch. Two episodes left now. Gonna take a break and prob hit them up later today.

Lock Jaw 04-18-2020 11:30 PM

Finished Money Heist Part 4...... damn.... thought it was gonna "finish this story arc" because the first one was only 2 parts, but guess not.... and even though I was not liking it as much as Parts 1 and 2, I do want more right now, and for the conclusion to this story.....

El Vaquero de Infierno 04-21-2020 01:51 PM

I can't remember seasons 5 and 6 of The Walking Dead, but Maggie seems to have reached peak hotness in season 4. Damn.

El Vaquero de Infierno 04-21-2020 01:53 PM

Finished season 6 of Bosch; solid outing, but seems to be lacking something of the earlier seasons. I do like the fact that they have given the Jerry Edgar character more to do this time round.

El Vaquero de Infierno 04-26-2020 01:50 PM

On to season 6 of The Walking Dead; and I've watched the first episode of a BBC adaptation of Evelyn Waugh's Decline and Fall novel, which is ok. I have still to finish the second season of The Big C, as I've been mostly focused on TWD.

GD 04-26-2020 02:44 PM

Mr. Robot, Season 04 has been quite taxing and very rewarding.

XL 04-26-2020 02:50 PM

Started Season 2 of After Life.

El Vaquero de Infierno 04-26-2020 04:19 PM

I really enjoyed the first season of After Life, and I don't generally watch Ricky Gervais' stuff.

Seanny One Ball 04-26-2020 05:32 PM

This season was a bit too obviously formulaic. Last season was simply a sad sack who needed to pull himself together through seeing the goodness around him so you get a mixture of deeply saddening dialogue complimented and bookended by some crass, vulgar comedy which softens the blow.
This season has ramped this up so that each episode wallows for longer and the vulgarity has been exponentially increased and broadened. It's also guilty of some truly dreary montages, there are too many of these. I think most episodes open with one and some may have more.

I was dubious of the message in one particular aspect of the first season due to its horrifying detachment from an extremely dark issue in assisted suicide.
I am equally skeptical of the message/note that this season ended on. It was actually quite sinister and probably relatively accurate as well.

I have a lot of issues with it but it was worth seeing for the good parts.
I think that it may be the most obviously emotionally manipulative show ever to come out of a comedian.

Seanny One Ball 04-27-2020 11:10 AM

Watching "The Last Dance" documentary about The Chicago Bulls 97/98 season and the careers of Jordan, Pippen and Rodman.

It's great so far.

GD 04-27-2020 06:50 PM

Completed Mr.Robot in its entirety. One of the best shows I’ve ever watched.

Seanny One Ball 04-27-2020 07:59 PM

That is the gayest thing anyone has ever said

GD 04-27-2020 08:15 PM

Says the fool who lives in the gayest village in Scotland.

Seanny One Ball 04-27-2020 08:33 PM

Your drag persona is Gay V'lage

El Vaquero de Infierno 04-29-2020 08:55 AM

On to season 7 of The Walking Dead and I'm loving Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Negan, though I will need a bit of development of the character to stop him getting old. I also hope Darryl kills Dwight (don't spoil it for me).

The whole "Kingdom" thing with the dude and the tiger is just stupid.

Seanny One Ball 04-29-2020 01:43 PM

Season 7 rapidly takes on a daytime TV sword and sorcery vibe. It goes from hardcore to who cares.

If Kevin Sorbo had turned up it would have surprised no one.

Seanny One Ball 04-29-2020 01:45 PM

Negan was fucking shite too. Very badly cast and acted.

GD 04-29-2020 01:45 PM

Netflix's Never Have I Ever

Seanny One Ball 04-29-2020 01:46 PM

Carl started to remind me of DJ from Roseanne too.

XL 04-30-2020 07:42 AM

Finish After Life S2 over a couple of nights. The “toilet humour” was a bit egregious this time around but the emotional punch was real.
