Anyone watching Top Chef: Wisconsin? I'm behind a few episodes, but the first two have made Milwaukee look really good to a national audience
Why should you go to jail for a crime someone else noticed? You don't need double talk... You need Bob Loblaw.

I missed the first two. Is it on demand somewhere? I saw the 3rd one in Oconomowoc. Good Stuff.

I forgot to record it too. I'm not sure if it streams anywhere.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Anyone start watching Fallout, it dropped yesterday. That's not normally a genre I'd be interested in but I'll watch anything with Walton Goggins. I'm going to give it a shot soon.

First episode was solid. If it wasn't Fallout I'm not sure it would be a high priority to checkout, though.

First episode of Fallout was incredibly promising. It's gonna be a tough line to walk between the campy, dark humor and the more serious themes that the games intertwined, but Nolan/Joy also did Westworld so I'm pretty optimistic.

My wife, who doesn't play video games, liked the first episode of Fallout more than the entire season of The Last of Us if that means anything. I think she digs the whole vibe of Fallout.

Oh wow, just got into reading this year and Dark Matter was the 2nd book I finished. Had no idea it was being made into a series.
I can finally be one of those the book is so much better people.

Interesting. I don't play video games and I thought The Last of Us was terrific.

I kinda get it. Both are post-apocalyptic shows/stories, but Last of Us is like, sometimes too aggressively depressing and dark. Fallout is just a different vibe.

For God's sake, somebody make "The Long Walk" already.
Probably too dark, but one of his best stories. Hell, they made 5 Hunger Games movies and it's a complete rip off.
Also, I hope this version of "The Running Man" is more true to the story than the first one, which was entertaining, but pretty stupid.

Ended up liking Fallout. Final scene was great.

Gen X me loved this so much. I'm guessing the hair and makeup weren't done for rehearsal, so it was the first time Heidi Gardner saw them when she turned around.

Watched the first episode of "The Sympathizer" on Max. RDJ is excellent as usual, and the show itself is gripping. Really looking forward to seeing the rest of the miniseries.

Episode 5 was my favorite thing Marvel has done in a long, long time. The only thing even close is the Loki finale IMO. I don't know if it helps or hurts that I don't really know much about X-Men but that was an amazing episode of television.
