Watching The Residence on NF and am thoroughly enjoying it. If you like Only Murders… you’ll probably like this.

@Mizmazzle
Really good show. Whenever I see the dad always think of “ this is England” even though been in quite few shows/movies since then.
Speaking of this is England cast members, anyone watch brassic?
Me and my wife Been watching new season white lotus, and the righteous gemstones. Gotta love HBO Sunday nights.

The Residence

Just finished it. Modern whodunit in the style of Agatha Christie. I liked it a lot.

@Matt @endo - With you on The Residence - great series, really enjoyed it

[JunkPants]

@Matt @endo @Steve Agreed, really enjoyed that one!

[Jett129]

Also really liking The Residence.Way better than Only Murders,and reminds me of when I used to read Sherlock Holmes.

[Mizmazzle]

@Jett129 you’re a comedy nerd. Cool show called “Mo” on Netflix. Cracked out a season and a half yesterday recouping on the couch. It’s so much more than a comedy.

Written by Mohammed Amer and Ramy Yousef. It’s very well done.

[Jett129]

@Mizmazzle On your recommendation I will definitely check it out. I’ve seen it in passing but wasn’t sure what to make of it.

[Bridger]

Thanks for the tip @Mizmazzle, I have just started Mo and am really enjoying it.

Pity we can't talk more about it here.

[Mizmazzle]

@Bridger totally man! Def a lot to get into with the content of that show. Lots of emotional depth for sure.

The White Lotus: S1 > S2 > S3

I enjoyed S3 and some of the stories around social mobility, but felt the writing was not great overall.

I'm obsessed/in love with the concept and setting and could watch this show endlessly. But agree it's not the best of the three but I do think the finale was brilliant.

For me, S2 >

[Jett129]

@mclaincausey I totally agree with you and was thinking that maybe The White Lotus had jumped the proverbial shark . I stuck with it because I like Walton Goggins and Aimee Lou Wood,who plays Rick’s girlfriend Chelsea. She’s really great in a Netflix series called Sex Education. In general I was glad it’s over,and now we’re on to The Righteous Gemstones.

[jordanscollected]

@mclaincausey White Lotus is the best at the spaces in between the dialogue. Making the viewer sit and chew on the awkward and uncomfortable. I feel like this season had just as much of that brilliance as the first 2, but I agree that the linear story and solution/reveals/payoff fell short of expectation.

I am still absolutely going to watch season 4, and have been pondering potential locations for the next White Lotus resort.

[endo]

I very much enjoyed S3, couldn't say which one I liked most.

[mclaincausey]

It would be hard to get into my issues with the writing without spoilers but it wasn’t great IMO. I still enjoyed it as kind of an escapist thing and there was some interesting character development.

It’s things like the reveal of something that was evident since the third episode being handled in a very cheesy way as if they thought they got us on a twist, and then a few inexplicable and unrealistic acts by some characters that took a bit of shine off for me.

Watching The Last of Us - S2 premier... enjoying it so far.

[Jett129]

Really enjoying North of North on Netflix. After I posted this we watched the last 2 episodes. And because of the way it ended I would downgrade my recommendation. All in all it was good/OK.
