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

[IH-GARY]

@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.

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?

[Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot]

LOVE Deadwood

[popvulture]

That show was the best.

In complete contrast, I'll add South Side (on Max) as an option for anyone in need of a laugh. It's a shame it was cancelled, but season 1 and 2 are very, very re-watchable. I've heard that season 3 was bad, maybe tinkered with by corporate powers that be or something similar, haven't gotten to it yet.

[SKT]

I’ve let our “Max” subscription lapse but probably need to revisit. I think HBO set the standard for such a long time.

[flannel slut]

Hell yes to Swearengen and Deadwood! Also remember watching Carnival around this time… season 1 was great.

[popvulture]

@SKT yeah the ditching of HBO from the name seemed to be accompanied by a low-brow-ification of the channel in general. Bunch of reality shows etc being pushed on the main page. It’s not my fave, but there are some good shows and movies on there. I’ve axed it and resubscribed many times.

[popvulture]

@flannel-slut aaaaaaaa Carnivale was so damn good!!!

[Jett129]

Anyone watching this season of Shrinking? It’s pretty great. Especially Harrison Ford. On Apple.

[SKT]

@Jett129 that’s one on our list. Unfortunately our list is long as we’re kind of in a “season” where we just don’t have the time to watch much.

[Mizmazzle]

We started watching a show called, Teacup a few days ago on Peacock. Really liking it. Like an adult version of Stranger Things I might say.

[Matt]

@SKT penguin is awesome, the new Dune series looks amazing and there’s the Stephen King Welcome to Derry serieswith Pennywise in it. I honestly keep it just for John Oliver.
