Westworld. What the hell is happening?

I know, i wasnt expecting that with Bernard.

A trip down memory lane. The old HBO intro. And it lives on today during summer outdoor movie festivals. They're cheering the HBO intro! Not that the festival is free has anything to do with it. 

 

[nevets88]

These are the shows I want to watch over the holiday.

• The Man in the High Castle
• Mozart in the Jungle
• High Maintenance
• Transparent
• Catastrophe
• Search Party
• The Crown
• Medici
• Versailles
• OA
• The Cuba Libre Story
• This is Us

The amount of content available is crazy. Not going to anywhere near finish this unless I don't sleep. And probably forgetting a few. Meh, maybe I'll just go hit some golf balls instead.

Cross two off the list, Mozart in the Jungle which was fun but not as good as previous seasons but chock full of music. 

The OA. What the hell? Gonna make some people mad. 

[nevets88]

Charlie Brooker's (Black Mirror) Wipe for 2016 is out! Can't wait to watch the whole thing.

 

[nevets88]

Wow, Braindead is a really good show. From CBS of all places.

We are watching The OA. On episode five. Also about to watch episode 5 of west world. I love how the goofy weird guy from Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia is on it.

My wife and I usually watch one show at a time that's been out for a while. We are on season 2 of the Americans and I enjoy it.  Watched season 1 and 2 of Fargo before that. Season 1 better than 2. And before that watched breaking bad which is obviously terrific.

I barely put a dent in this list only just managed 3 up to now, throw in BrainDead. Netflix is licensing like it has unlimited money. The latest Sherlock was just okay.

[nevets88]

This Netflix One Day at a Time reboot is really good. The laugh track, which seems passe now made me think otherwise. It's really funny, the writing is very sharp there's a lot packed into an episode. Freddy's wife in Six Feet Under and Ned from Groundhog Day are in it. 

[nevets88]

Golden Globes La La Land parody is hilarious.

Better Call Saul season 3 is coming up soon.  Favourite of mine.  Another new season of House of Cards.  LetterKenny is a Canadian comedy which is actually funny in a small Canadian town way.

Hey, things are back to normal, there's "prestige" tv on Sunday nights again to fill the void left by Westworld, Game of Thrones, Leftovers, whatever, yeah, I know Europe has already seen this. In the end, we all love to hear a good story spun, that, will never change.

Well Sherlock Season 4 is over. I get that they're almost movie length, but three episodes still feels like a bit of a sham.  Darn the UK and their weird idea of a "season".

And 3 years in between as well.

Anybody else watching "Sneaky Pete" on Amazon? Giovanni Ribisi and Brian Cranston... pretty good. Stylistically it reminds of the first season of Fargo on FX.

I watched the whole thing . . .and it was very enjoyable except 2 things kept bugging me the *entire* time . . .

1.  No way the family wouldn't know it wasn't the real Pete..and no way they'd act that way if they did know and were, for some reason, keeping it to themselves

2.  Bryan Cranston's character is just a little . .cheesy.  He was incredibly effective as the good guy/nerd turned bad guy in Breaking Bad. .but when starting out as the bad guy he kind of seems a little cartoon-ish.

But I did really like it - especially the Giovanni Ribisi character...and the grandparents and other family members . . .overall some good stuff.

I just saw the first 2 episodes of The Young Pope . .wow . .not what I was expecting and definitely peaked my interest.

I watched the first 20 minutes, looked pretty good so far. Will go back to it, right now focussing on Taboo, which was a bit mystifying at first but looks to have a lot of potential. Could definitely get into Tom Hardy sticking it to the man, 19th century.
