Loved season one and didn't realize two was out, thanks for the heads up.

WTF HBO. That might have been my favorite 2020 show.

Sent from my SM-G986U using RealGM mobile app

I preferred the book.

With season 5 of Animal Kingdom kicking off I decided to give it a shot. The first 4 seasons are on Prime. I've watched 3 episodes and enjoy it. I liked Finn Cole in Peaky Blinders.

Finished s1 of the new Perry Mason, and loved it. Shot the pulpy-noir/modern character drama gap perfectly.

I loved season 1 but haven't caught up on the new season. Once I saw the trailer with him dodge traffic with an ant eater, I figured it was going to be a weird season :lol:

I really enjoyed Animal Kingdom for a few seasons but I lost my interest through the third I think.

First three episodes had funny moments but were just depressing as hell. Episode 4 did a bit better getting back to it's roots.

Read on Twitter

Ric Roman Waugh is returning to direct the follow-up to “Greenland,” with screenwriter Chris Sparling on board to write the script. Butler is reprising his role alongside co-star Morena Baccarin of “Deadpool” and “Homeland” fame. In the first film, Butler and Baccarin portrayed an estranged couple making a dangerous journey with their young son as a global apocalypse threatens life as they know it. The sequel is a continuation of the original story and sees the Garrity family after surviving near-extinction by traversing across the decimated frozen wasteland of Europe to find a new home.

Really liked Greenland. I guess I'm curious how they go from a big disaster movie to post-apocalyptic flick.

Greenland is still on my watchlist. I need to check it out soon. Always liked disaster movies, even some of the cheesy bad ones lol.

I watched a clip of the initial comet impact in this and it was very scary! And all I could think about was Nick Castellanos hitting a home run during it.

I enjoyed Greenland but as with all disaster movies, I was laughing throughout with the ridiculousness of it.

Yup there are a lot of movies you just sit back and enjoy and not pick apart. Liam Neeson movies for instance. I enjoyed The Ice Road and it was over the top. Which is why I enjoyed it.

Tampa Bay has been wiped off the map, find shelter if you can and may God have mercy on-- there's a deep drive to left...

Succession is a show I just assume must have gotten a lot better over time because I bailed after two or three episodes.

It definitely picks up. I watched the first few and stopped. Tried it again a few months later and stuck it out and it gets good.

I still need to check out Billions. I know some here favor that show more and it's often compared to Succession.

I struggle with any show that doesn't have characters I like and root for, and that looked like the case with Succession. Hated everyone. But I love Billions and root for people on both sides of the law.

I liked Succession from the beginning but it definitely builds.

Love Succession

This just feels like it has a money-laundering vibe to it.
