Both the Young Pope and the New Pope are **** great. Just outrageous stuff.

I watched it and liked it pretty easily. And I'm as uninterested in the whole Royal Family bs as one can be. I'd think one has to be somewhat into history to really like it. Or, be someone obsessed with the royals. I'm the former in that. Great acting, sets, period piece, etc. The story is quite good if you think about how much she's been through being queen for that long. If you like history, I'd recommend sticking with it

Great, thanks. I do love history.

Don’t know what to watch next. Just binge watched mindunters. Any other shows that are similar to this?

Glad I took a hiatus from The Rewatchables. Been putting on episodes to help me sleep at night.

Looks like it's on Prime. Anyone who hasn't seen the series yet is in for a serious treat. It's the best looking show in TV history, and of course you get Hannibal and Will Graham. After the first season they adopt story lines from the Red Dragon and the novel Hannibal. It's one of the great TV crimes that it didn't get another season. The plan was to adapt the Silence of the Lambs plot line.

Oh, and Mads Mikkelsen >>>> Anthony Hopkins.

I went ahead and got a 30 day trial to the WWE network. I haven't watched wrestling regularly since I was in high school. I just pulled up the 1987 Survivor Series and I'm just cracking up with nostalgia.

I hate redemption. Once you're voted out you should be out. But a lot of these players would only do the season if they put it in so they've have a second chance if they got voted out early.

Just finished the 2nd season of Narcos: Mexico and thought it might be their best season yet (out of the 5 total). Also realized that it's a series that never really has to "end" because all of the stuff they talk about is basically still going on today in the Mexican drug war. They even had to censor some names in the show to avoid potential lawsuits from a lot of these traffickers and corrupt politicians that are alive, incarcerated, or even worse, still in power. Just crazy stuff.

Totally agree. Narcos kind of went from a pretty good show about Pablo to a legit prestige TV awesome show this past Mexico season.

You’d love OSWReview. Video podcast. Just three old friends from Ireland reviewing old shows. Regularly brings me to tears laughing. I believe they’re on YouTube

I know we're mostly guys here and we're all very manly. But, if you want to score some points with the wife/gf you can't go wrong with This is Us. Writing/story is incredibly good. Of course, some sappiness to it and all. But it's very well done. Everyone needs a good cry once in a while
