I’m kinda in a holding pattern with TV right now just waiting for the shows that are coming soon: Upload, Atlanta, Barry, Moon Knight, and Ozark all coming in the next month or so.

I've been impressed with many of Apple's shows so far, but I'll be honest, The Watch Party was underwhelming and Severance has lost me after three episodes.

Add Suspicion to that list. Decent premise and start but really jumped the shark as it went on.

Are you watching servant? My wife and I have been and were both straddling the line of intrigued/hate watching.

I enjoyed For All Mankind on Apple. Thought Ted Lasso was ok but overrated/overhyped.

For all mankind is one of the most underrated shows currently on TV. I liked Tedd Lasso but also watched it before the hype so I get your perspective.

I actually enjoyed See even though it's kind of ridiculous. Watched Morning Show with my wife, it kind of sucks.

I usually like to watch new shows right away before I hear too many details. In the case of Lasso I didn't even watch season 1 until several months after it came out. By then there was so much hype it was bound to be a letdown.

Saw The Batman last night. Wasn't my cup of tea. It's not bad but it's not great. The story is very muddled and that it goes for 3 hours is ridiculous. It's better than the campy late 80s/90s Batmans and the Zack Snyder attempts but not close to the Nolan trilogy.

I had high expectations having seen the reviews but was disappointed in the end.

Winning Time is friggin amazing!!!

ClassicJack · Post #1032 » by **ClassicJack** » Wed Mar 9, 2022 5:38 am

I was really looking forward to Winning Time but it didn't grab me at all in the 1st episode. The characterizations didn't come off as authentic to me and I hated the Zack Morris talking to the camera sh*t but it's the pilot and I generally don't like pilots. I'll definitely ride the 1st season out to see where it goes. The casting seems pretty great so far tho.

I thought the final season of The Last Kingdom was really good!

I'd give Severance another try. It's only gotten better since EP 3.

The Tourist on HBO Is keeping me entertained. Lots of plot twists...even if they aren't all plausible.

Norm, we need 5 minutes to fill out the show.

Can I spend 2 minutes reading names of states?

Sure, what the hell, knock yourself out.

It's been so long since Barry aired its second season that I completely forgot that there have already been two seasons of the show.

I have to rewatch at least the last few episodes before S3 premiers next month. Great show.
