      Ironically @mclaincausey Ive never watched any of The Sopranos or Breaking Bad.  When they came through originally I either was not interested (Sopranos) or missed the boat and felt I didn't have time to catch up (BB) but I'm sure some day I'll watch them.
      I'm really looking forward to Succession s3.  I never would have predicted in s1 I would be actively rooting for Jeremy Strong, his character work there and the writing is phenomenal
      I've wanted to get into the Expanse books as well, and I've heard the show actually does a pretty good job in it's interpretation.  Amos and Drummer are great characters.  The scifi is, I agree, "semi-hard" ha, just far enough out there to be interesting but close enough to be a believable extension of our modern technology that I accept most things without needing an explanation.  It's got aliens and otherworldly tech that are incredibly inhuman without being silly.
      I'm still campaigning for What We Do In the Shadows, both the movie and now show.  Light, well executed low stakes comedy at its best.  Sometimes, just sometimes, my shows don't need existential dread.  It can be my "Wiggles"

        For others who enjoy Succession there's a good profile of show creator Jesse Armstrong in the New Yorker https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2021/08/30/the-real-ceo-of-succession

          We are two episodes into White Lotus and I am a bit baffled but kinda hooked.

          Although it could be for reasons that are not entirely down to the story

                @spitfiredealer we finished it last night. Baffled is the right word. It's hilarious (maybe not laugh out loud) and cringe, aimless and odd. hard to watch and harder to look away. some scenes carry on too long, but just when you think you have predicted what happens next, it switches up.

                painful and brilliant and I give it a 1 and a 10. I don't recommend anyone watch it, but go watch it.

                  [mention]jordanscollected [/mention] thanks for perfectly summarizing the way I feel about it. Don’t watch it, but watch it  I’ll admit it stuck with me for a few days so that means something

                    Yeah, I felt pretty much the same.  Paula had to actually hide behind the sofa for some scenes.  To sum, I'm not really sure if I liked it or not, but I have been thinking more about it since I finished than almost anything I've watched before….So yeah, job well done, I guess...

                      I wanted to say RIP for Michael K. White, who brought Omar to life in “The Wire”. Iconic character in one of my favorite shows.

                        Absolutely fantastic show and Michael K White was for sure a big reason why

                            TASKMASTER NZ (New Zealand) S02 was fantastic!.. Can't wait for DARK SIDE OF THE RING to resume next week… RICK & MORTY's finale ep was great (5x10)... Unfortunately 5x09 sucked and I honestly don't have great things to say about the whole season...

                            Bring on SOLAR OPPOSITES S03, I say!..

                              I think I've been generally pretty disappointed with the third season of R&M, which is okay cause there's plenty else to watch

                                    That's a classic scene Giles

                                    Allie and I are watching "Succession" on HBO while our month subscription carries on (we signed up to watch White Lotus).

                                    It's a pretty special show and I give them the most props for keeping the gratuitous nudity out of the show while still having a ton of sexual focused plot line. A really smart approach.

                                      One of my favorite dark comedies of ever @jordanscollected  The characters are just so perfectly irredeemable.

                                      Think it, be it.
