goose Posted December 15, 2020 Author Share Posted December 15, 2020 seems like it would be goodIt is really goodI'm through Episode 4 and I love the premise (based on a true story!), and the insight into the Hasidic culture is fascinating. But... The marriage consummation bit strikes me as overdone, like the point is made but they just keep coming back top it over and over and over.

IbanezJem Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 One of the oddest, completely mellow drama to grab me has been "Borgen". First 2 seasons are solid television. I'm watching season 3 out of loyalty to the first two seasons, but it's not as good. Basically, the Danish 'West Wing.' It also has some of the best theme music I have ever heard. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lqQy3CBGLk&feature=emb_titleAnd Season 4 is coming soon! My wife and I were absolutely mesmerised by Borgen. I think it`s the last thing I bought a bluray box set of. We have photos of us in Copenhagen, as you can wander around the grounds and inside and up to the steps etc., all the places the show is made. It`s a really cool place and there was nobody about, we were sure someone was about to arrest us... but it`s just how Denmark is! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was watching those awesome Nordic Noir series that prompted that holiday and we`ll certainly go back (when we`re allowed). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible airwave Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 (edited) Been watching a lot of clips of baseball brawls and umpire arguments on Youtube. I notice Bryce Harper does this a lot. No wonder D.C. had enough of him. :lol: Could have had that ring a year later you clubhouse cancer. Oh, well. Lou Piniella was the MFing king. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHwET9gW4PM Edited December 25, 2020 by invisible airwave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjbear05 Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 The Christmas marathons are in full swing. WTBS and TNT are well into their 24 hour runs of A Christmas Storyand the recurring doses of "I triple dog dare ya", Scut Farkas, The Bumpus Hounds, and "you'll shoot your eye out." Also, FX is alternating showings of FX's A Christmas Carol, with Guy Pearce as Scrooge, with the 1951 version of A Christmas Carol with Alastair Sim as the Christmas curmudgeon, imho the best version of the lot.

IbanezJem Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 (edited) Ju-On Origins (Netflix). It`s the origin story of The Grudge saga, which is interesting only because I think the films are execrable - whereas this six-part series is excellent, in its pure Japanese form.

IbanezJem Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Mr Mercedes, Manhunt: Deadly Games, and I`ll soon start Castle Rock. I like to binge watch more than one thing simultaneously as I don`t get bored this way (I have a miserable attention span). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbanezJem Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 The Act (Gypsy Rose Blanchard story). It`s some feat of acting for Patricia Arquette to be Dee Dee, when I will always think of her as Alabama Worley :drool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spaceaudity11 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) Cobra Kai Season 3. Sucks, so far. I honestly like the third season, but I think it is trying a bit hard. I found the first season of the show the most compelling. Edited January 5, 2021 by spaceaudity11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceaudity11 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I have been rewatching Arrested Development (Afternoon Delight was my most recent episode) and Schitt's Creek as an attempt to cure my boredom associated with winter break. I also recently watched season 4 of Big Mouth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueschica Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Season 3 of Bosch, on Amazon. It is based on a series of detective books and is set in the dark side of LA. We have really liked it so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krystal Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I'm rewatching How I Met Your Mother for several reasons:- I watched it too quickly the first time around because I wanted to see how it ended.- I'm seeing things that I missed the first time because I got distracted or fell asleep late at night. - Knowing how it ended, I'm seeing things in a different light and focusing on the big picture. - There is nothing else worth watching on any of the major networks, except maybe Vikings.- I truly believe that HIMYM was the last great sitcom. Big Bang Theory got old after a while, was too pretentious and not very funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
