      I’m sure, but that’s a mighty low bar.  Its like a cavity filling being preferable to a root canal 🙂

      Maybe so. Maybe not

        So long as someone gets shot in the face or crushed by a falling piano once in awhile I’m pretty happy.

        If I wanted to put more brainpower into things I’d read a book (I only read nonfiction) and learn something or get back to work and make $.

        My job requires me to be creative and think most of my day, so getting out of my head for a bit is requisite.

        I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

          Gotta compare apples to apples, right? No real point in comparing Netflix's Punisher to, say, The Night Of or The Americans.

              Saw the first episode last night and it is very promising. Lower key and currently less weird than s.1 was after the first episode. More grim realism.

              I love s.1 and I’ve seen it three times. but it wasn’t as amazing as a lot of people made out. The ending was underwritten and poorly conceived. Likewise, S.2  wasn’t as bad as everyone made out and the ending was heart wrenching.

              We just started TD s2 last night as it is reduced on Amazon Prime. I really like it a lot. I think I left enough time between s1 and s2 to not risk too much comparison.

              They are clearly stand alone pieces, and in that sense are only comparable in the sense that Rocky and Copland are comparable…similar input, very different output!

                Currently watching American Gods. I’m a Gaiman fan so it is sort of high stakes but I’m really impress so far. Bodes well for the tv version of Good Omens.

                  We stuck with about 5 episodes of s1. It got old a bit quickly for me. Ian McShane was the best thing in it. He's come a way since Lovejoy.

                        i'm late to the Breaking Bad party but I finally finished season 2 a week ago. Good stuff.

                        Is Better Call Saul any good?

                          Ian McShane is good in everything he does. Can't wait to see him revive Swearingen in the Deadwood movie  😃

                            And the movie is looking like it’s about two hours?
                            I think so.

                            Fuck that. Make it last six years.

                              Very different in tone and content. It also starts «Meh» before developing nicely over the four seasons.

                                Started on Mayans MC…I had a huge soft spot for Sons of Anarchy and this is a shameless spin off. Leave your brain out bike/violence porno. The violence has been upped, the acting not so much.

                                  Yeah, it’s not great but, I stuck with it and it’s almost worth it just to see the twist in the finale.

                                    Did anyone watch the repeat on 'made in Britain' on BBC 2 last night? This episode traced the history and process of shoe making in Northamptonshire. They were based at the Trickers factory. Very worth a watch. It really made you appreciate the time and skilled needed to build a handmade welt.

                                      MURDER MOUNTAIN was quite weak… CONVERSATIONS WITH A KILLER: THE TED BUNDY TAPES is absolutely fantastic stuff though... The real deal, if you want...

                                        TRUE DETECTIVE S03: 7 eps down, 1 to go. No matter how they tie it all up, it's been an absolute phenomenal season, mostly because of the stellar acting of the two main characters.

                                          TRUE DETECTIVE S03: 7 eps down, 1 to go. No more how they tie it all up, it's been an absolute phenomenal season, mostly because of the stellar acting of the two main characters.

                                          Doesn’t have the same level of thrills as S1, or the same off centre characters but the quality of the storytelling, creation of atmosphere and place, and as you say the acting is top drawer. Mesmerising at times.

                                          The supporting cast do a fine job too (the wife, Purcell), but Ali and Dorff are astonishing over the four decades their characters move in. Almost regardless of how they end it, it is more mature and accomplished series than the first.
