Been watching a few things lately:The Q-Anon documentary on Vice: ok. I would have preferred a more hard documentary than "let's sit down with this friend of mine that is into Q and talk to him again". The 2 hosts were very unlikable, especially the woman, and had very preconcived biases that they looked to confirm, vs just laying out the facts. The interviews were interesting. I tried to figure out the Q thing a few times over the last few years, didn't make any sense to me. I'd rather try to figure out Publius Enigma.WeWork on Hulu: Talk about a scam. Jim Jones coulda learned a thing or two from that guy. I must have been living under a rock for those few years, cuz I don't remember hearing much of anything about WeWork. Grifters gonna grift.Sons of Anarchy: awesome series, highly recommended. Up there with Bosch, Vikings, & Homeland as best Covid binge series.Mayans MC: Spin off of SOA. It's trying but it's just not very good. Disappointed, because it had a lot of potential.Ken Burns' Baseball series. Nuff said.Just finished season 1 of Peaky Blinders. So far, so good.
I'd put Bosch, Homeland, and Vikings ahead of Son of Anarchy only because they were excellent throughout and SoA slipped the last 2 years.And, why would you want to figure out the Q thing? Just accept that they are traitors.
Re Q: nads recommended it, so I'm trying to open my horizons.
Watched Part 1 of HBO's documentary on Q-Anon. Absolutely crazy stuff.
I just finished the Q documentary on HBO. Learned a few things but I didn't love it. It's a little scary that this group of easily conned cultists apparently has grown to the hundreds of thousands (if not millions) and that it is starting to make inroads into the operation of our government.
If you're talking about the one that was on HBO, I actually did not recommend it at all. I have had a grand total of two posts about it:ANDI mean, I used the exact words "I didn't love it." Not sure how one reads that and considers it a recommendation.In the past few months I have recommended Beartown, Better Call Saul, Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, Barry, Ted Lasso, Fleabag, Succession, ESPN's Ali-Frazier doc and The Boys. But not the HBO Q doc, which I found disturbing but mostly annoying.So please don't misrepresent what I said.
Wasn't trying to. Just responding to jockitch's dumb comment.The one I watched was from Vice. No idea if that is different than HBO's, I don't have HBO currently. And honestly thought you said it was worth a watch. Like I said, I don't get the Q stuff, and was hoping to learn something.The Vice one was somewhat informative but the 2 filmmakers were annoying and way too into their preconceived notions and told a biased story(what I would expect from Vice, tbh).Love you uncle nadsie.
One show that I recommend people looking for a new show to check out is Kingdom on netflix. Its a family drama centered on cage fighting.Its one of those shows where almost no one has seen it, but of those that have seen it, almost no one dislikes it.Some stellar acting in it. And its also only like 40 episodes.
I believe I just saw an ad with Forrest Whitaker and Giancarlo Esposito? Godfather of Harlem?
First season of Godfather of Harlem was fantastic. Hope Season 2 is as good
What service is this on?
If you like Man in the Hightower, you can try 1983 on Netflix. A Netflix produced Polish alt history show with English subtitles. After a medical procedure, binge watched the 8 episodes of Season 1. (Only 1 season available.)
I have an embarrassing confession to make, but I'm doing it for the greater good: I watched Thunder Force on Netflix. I'm still not exactly sure how it happened, and my wife and I are currently blaming each other (both for starting it and for keeping it on). To paraphrase a better film, "what we had was a failure to communicate."I realize that in a group of sentient, educated people, this warning is probably unnecessary -- akin to warning you to not eat Tide Pods. Do not watch this film. You've been warned.
Peaky Blinders is a great show, enjoy it you two!
