We're getting a **** ton of Keanu Reeves and honestly I don't get it.

Hope for Tom Holland and for our sake that he can remain in the MCU.

People love working with Keanu and he's bankable.

I was wondering when they'd bring that back, though I assumed it would have been rebooted as a prequel of some kind. Bringing back two characters who apparently died in Matrix 3? Idk about that.

Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

I was talked into watching the first couple episodes. Now I'm a fanboy.

I don't remember a thing about the last two Matrix movies except they sucked.

I liked the 2nd movie.

I wanted to walk out of the 3rd one.

As a movie, the first Matrix was the best. But the Freeway Chase/Chateau Fight in Reloaded was the best action sequence of the series.

Thought they finished Orange New Black up very well. Some ups and downs through the show overall through the years but I think they did well the last couple seasons and managed to wrap it up pretty well. not easy with so many characters.

Ready or Not sound like the perfect antidote to the lame, overrated, arthouse bullsh*t horror that's dominated the last five years. I can't wait to see it, hopefully tonight.

Finished the first season of Barry. Oof, did that take a dark turn the last few episodes - though the whole series is giving me a bit of a Breaking Bad vibe.

Man, Mindhunter was so good. Can't believe I have to wait a year plus for more.

Just finished Euphoria. What a terrific cast. Only thing that felt off to me is that Nate felt like the cartoon villain of a lesser show. Zendaya is great. Who knew?

It was cute, but I gave up on it halfway thru season 2. I don’t need to watch another “Hey look, morally ambiguous white guy!!!” show in my life.

I understand how you feel, but I will say, I don't think Barry is meant to be portrayed as morally ambiguous. I'm pretty sure he's just straight up evil and portrayed as such.

I totally thought Atlanta was a made up subplot but it was all true.

Interesting how they setup BTK and then did next to nothing with him.

I was worried the Brian subplot would feel too hokey. I feel this show is so good because it avoids the cop drama tropes but it worked. So creepy and makes me not wanna have or adopt kids.

Yeah I think Season 2 is even better than Season 1....maybe it's because there is just one "case" more or less. I was a little dude when all the Atlanta child murders were going on. It was on the news every night.

Almost all the interviews they do are with fictionalized versions of actual murderers. I had to look up the guy at Riker's Island from this season and sure enough....real dude. The makeup jobs are incredible too. Berkowitz and Manson were spitting images.

Real Life BTK spoiler:

And I think in this show's case the question revolves around what made him that way. I don't think that was the intent going in but seems the direction they are heading.

I just started Season 2 and the first episode hints at some of his past experiences; I imagine I'll see more of that as the season continues.

I get the criticism from Buck Dweller, but one of the things that's keeping me invested is the cast itself. Hader is one of the most versatile actors of his generation, IMO.
