I’m currently watching Pachinko on Apple TV. Up there with the best I’ve watched this year. Amazing cast & acting, superb sets & locations.
The blurb:
Based on the New York Times bestseller, this sweeping saga chronicles the hopes and dreams of a Korean immigrant family across four generations as they leave their homeland in an indomitable quest to survive and thrive.

I liked it too @IH-GARY and also the novel.

I’m re watching the wire until Emily in Paris comes out ( just so I get the remote for a change from the wife )
I still say it’s one if not the best series ever made

[Mizmazzle]

@flannel-slut pretty deep into The Gentleman now. Did you notice all the Jacques Marie Mage frames in the show’s wardrobe?

I’ve got to give a big shout out to NYPD Blue. I never really watched it when it was originally on and I just started it from the beginning not too long ago. 19 seasons so it will take a while. I think the show still stands up today and is really fun to watch.

@Mizmazzle ha! So much JMM! Bobby Glass rocking some classics

Umbrella Academy: just finished season 4 and already missing these guys

Deadloch and Mr Inbetween

@doubletee Loved Deadloch.

Any Wallace and Gromit fans on this thread?

The penguin which is on a slow drip release schedule on binge
4 episodes in and I’m still not convinced that it’s Colin Farrell

@Brian I keep seeing fleeting scenes, especially close ups of his eyes that give him away but likewise most of the time I'm questioning if it is really him! The make up team deserve an Emmy for sure! The show is pretty entertaining as well!

If no one told me who the actor was or if hbo didn’t tell then there is no way the world I would have guessed it it’s such a transformation

It’s pretty good so far. I’m holding out hope that James Gunn decides to make this version consistent with his new DC plan. I’m not holding my breath but I love some consistency.

[Nocturama]

The Penguin is my next up - I’ve recently finished Breaking Bad (I was slow on the up-take) plus Blue Lights (S1), and have the last episode of House of Dragons (S2) to watch, then Gotham, here I come…with the Clone Wars ticking over in the background.

I’d normally be watching mostly sports, but when the Mets are the most successful team that you follow, it’s time to get those TV series binge watched!

Thanks for the heads up on the new season @Matt

HATED Fool Me Once (really Giles? a re-watch??)

Sorry, missed this....Different strokes, I guess....

[flannel slut]

@Giles no doubt, just a little bit of ribbing. A lot has to do w expectations in a viewing experience as well.

[Giles]

Should have said it was average

For some reason this Al Swearengen speech on “despair” found its way to me yesterday. Deadwood is one of my favorite all time shows…anyone else a fan?
