Now I’m just enjoying being the resident contrarian on all matters The Bear.

[mclaincausey]

Probably not gonna see it for a while since I hate Hulu but I’m excited nonetheless.

@Matt

I keep hearing good things about that show. But when I saw some previews and asked my friends their thoughts on it, I figured I'd pass on it.

I see enough screaming and arguing in real life.

[iamjustdanny]

But the show mentioned here a few days ago, Tokyo Vice... Love it. Finally got around to reading the book partway through watching S2.

I don't like reading for pleasure, but whatever Jake Adelstein publishes, I'll definitely give it a read!

@iamjustdanny I enjoyed the first two seasons of The Bear, but it is much more enjoyable if you don't binge watch the episodes.

If you watch a few of them back to back, it's GBH of the ears

[jordanscollected]

@AdamJ agreed on the binging over stimulation of the Bear. I get the same feeling when I watch The Boys. I have to step away sometimes. And the new season is coming soon.

[spleef_oner]

Not sure if it’s already been mentioned but The Gentlemen on Netflix was pretty decent.

[Giles]

It has and it was

[Matt]

@jordanscollected I can binge The Boys easily. The Acolyte today though. Very excited.

[jiminstitches]

Yeeeeeesssss @Matt I’m just about to start Acolyte been watching Dark Matter, I’m not massively getting into it, but it’s interesting enough for me to keep going.

[Matt]

I think it doesn’t stream until tonight but it’s a two ep premier.

[jiminstitches]

@matt ah man, it’s 10pm here and it’s not released yet, I was hoping to watch it before I went to bed it had been on my mind all day, FML

[AdamJ]

@Matt @jiminstitches We had a very similar conversation in the office yesterday. @SamD was very excited about it being available to watch that night, only for @Ross to be the bearer of bad news.

[jiminstitches]

@AdamJ lol oh dearbut we can all be excited for tonight now

[Matt]

I watched the first episode. So far so goood.

[JoshC]

@Matt, me, @Freeman and @Ross watched it in the meeting room with a dominos , definitely enjoying the show so far, feels different compared to some other SW shows.

My ADD will have to be overcome as it relates to anything Star Wars. Disney just over saturated with variable quality offerings IMO and my patience is short and skepticism high. Good to hear maybe they tried something different this time.

[Matt]

You could paint a picture of yoda on the back of a dump truck and I’d watch it.

[mclaincausey]

Yeah; clearly Disney knows you aren’t alone in that regard

[Matt]

This is the way.
