Odd review coming from "Wags." Sort of like Mort Sahl playing Carnegie and then complaining that the audience was full of New Yorkers. Or something.
Started the rewatch of S5 Better Call Saul as well. Such an outstanding show. And for any Breaking Bad fans that gave up on it too early, I strongly suggest giving it another go as it has really has ramped up the tension and intensity in a similar way. Also, I’m way late on this but finally started What We Do In The Shadows. Brilliant stuff.
Does boardwalk empire get better? I'm 4 episodes in, and it's not catching my interest at all.
Yes, at its peak its in that second tier of great HBO shows just behind The Wire and Sopranos. The middle of the series is far better than the first season or two, IMO.
Just finished Season 5 of Snowfall. It was even better than the first 4 seasons.
Great season! Such a good show.
Halfway through Mrs. Maisel Season 4 and IMO, its been by far the weakest season. Some hilarious moments to be sure and Tony Shahloub is on FIRE, but its just been kind of bizarre and dragging at points. My wife and I BLEW through the previous 3 seasons and we're not in any hurry with this one.
Curious about what and why people subscribe to streaming platforms. After all the Netflix hubbub this week, thinking about cutting some subscriptions out of my life. So what do you pay for and why? Here's mine:Disney+: Marvel, Star Wars Universe, PJ Masks, Disney movies, PixarAmazon Prime: The Boys, Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Invincible, Wheel of Time, upcoming Lord of the RingsApple TV: Ted LassoNetflix: Cobra Kai, Stranger Things, CocomelonHBOMax: DC Movies, Peacemaker, Game of Thrones content, Sesame StreetRecently cancelled:Paramount+: USA Soccer, HaloPeacock: Nothing interested me much, hence cancelled.So before I cancel Apple and Netflix (maybe after Stranger Things next season) are there other reasons to keep these?
I'll go to bat for Apple TV. Think the service is better than people recognize.For All Mankind is the best show on the platform (season two was outrageously good). Severance is a close second. I'm enjoying Ptolemy Grey and Pachinko right now. Also, for lighter fare, Mythic Quest, Trying, and Acapulco were good. Dr. Brain is from Korea and not for everyone but some wild moral questioning in that show.Lincoln's Dilemma was a good four part docuseries. And the nature shows, Tiny World and Earth at Night, were ridiculously beautiful. Plus it has the Peanuts gang so that is handy October to December. Wolfwalkers and Coda are both dynamite movies.
Honestly, the biggest barrier to me getting rid of Netflix is Cocomelon. It might just be mindless songs, but if I need an hour where the toddler doesn't bother me, putting on Cocomelon is a guarantee that I can make dinner or get some laundry done or whatever. It's like toddler heroin without the withdrawal symptoms. Put it on, they zone out.
The one show I just could not stand. I've hidden it from our Kids profile.
Arby's is featured on food that built America this week.
