I can only watch Mr Robot in small doses because the story line is pretty slow. Suicide Squad was okay. I'm rewatching Game of Thrones, I think this is my first time doing this so it's actually pretty entertaining to see all the characters from the beginning again.

I've only rewatched a couple of shows, but I was just thinking last night of rewatching Fargo season 2. Maybe Battlestar Galactica and possibly Leftovers, or parts of it.

I wouldn't mind doing Game of Thrones either. There are story lines that barely interested me, but then they ended up culminating in somewhat interesting conclusions. Like I barely paid attention to all the parts over the years with Hodor.

I've been wanting to rewatch Leftovers season 2 lately since this is about that time of year it comes on. Huge bummer season 3 was delayed, but can't wait for that new HBO show Westworld to start.

I see a lot of people are excited about Westworld.

Anyone dive into Luke Cage yet?

Also, this one looks good.

And this one could be interesting.

I quite enjoyed Fleabag on Amazon and Crashing on Netflix (written by and starring the same woman). Definitely going to check out Luke Cage this weekend. Also seeing The Magnificent Seven later today.

Never even heard of those two shows. I think I'm going to go see Don't Breathe before it leaves theaters. Then maybe some Luke Cage later but kind of want to see some of Louisville/Clemson and then AZ/UCLA. And of course Wisconsin now making this Michigan game interesting. Finally some Suns AND football in the same day.

Saw a movie called "Coherence" on Amazon Prime the other day. Really interesting and highly recommended if you're I n the mood for a movie that'll really make you think and keep you guessing throughout. I would recommend not checking out any trailers. Best to go in blind.

So a thriller? That's my favorite genre. I'm not a fan of horrors, but I've seen two movies classified as horrors/thrillers this year that were edge of your seat good. One today in "Don't Breathe". The other was "Green Room". These are not horrors in the sense that anything supernatural occurs but more like real life situations that COULD occur and be true life horrors.

Maybe the best two I've seen this year after Hell or High Water.

Civil War was good too, but that is kind of in a different class for me considering it is comic book stuff. Fun, but not making you feel much.

A thriller with some sci-fi elements. That's all I'll say. Don't want to spoil it. Tell me if you don't enjoy it. I'll doubt it'll come to that.

That was one of the best and most graphically spectacular GBA series.

Yeah. Staying sober for this one is a good idea. I probably should have mentioned that. lol. Lots to keep track of and keeps switching it up on you. Hope you enjoyed it. I really liked it.

Saw Deepwater Horizon. I little while to build it up, but once it gets going, it's really exciting. Also saw Don't Breathe. Edge of your seat thriller, yet a bit over the top at times.

Looking forward to Black Mirror season 3 this coming weekend.

I've heard good things about it, still haven't checked it out yet though. Been meaning to give it a shot.

I dunno if anyone has brought it up here, but I'm really liking that new series Westworld on HBO, I'd recommend checking it out if you've been on the fence.
