You can put your giga pet to sleep and finish S1 without a problem.

Should. I spend more time watching psychology and science videos (namely neuroscience) and some of those podcasts can go up to three and a half hours. It’s time consuming.

Don’t let the tattoos fool you from when we met. I’m actually a pretty big nerd.

City on a Hill  S3 has begun.

Saw the new Elvis movie last night

2 1/2 hours long

I liked it because I grew up in that era

Learned from the movie that he was friends with BB King. Showed Sister Rosetta Tharpe singing some songs. I was watching Youtube yesterday and one of her videos popped up and I watched it. Little did I know she would be in the movie.

Saw him live in 1969 at the International like they show in the movie. Sat at a table front row in the middle. Right by the stage. No idea how my dad got the tickets.

He was wearing the white jumpsuit and he split the seam during the show and had to go backstage and change into another one.

All the trouble he got into by swinging his hips and gyrating his pelvis seems so far away compared to what the performers do now.

That's pretty cool. My grandfather remembers and has a cool story of when Elvis came into the Army with them.

Started S1 and I'm 9 episodes in

Really good show

Amazon has it available for free without the Showtime add on until 8-31

Kevin Bacon as Jackie Rohr is a great role

Thanks @Lou

 

Edited. Thanks @Tank

I watched E1 of S1 of Annika on Amazon Prime starring Nicola Walker and I liked it... then I found out in order to watch the rest of the episodes, I had to subscribe to PBS Masterpiece...

Bollocks!

I've become a big fan of Nicola Walker's work... she's a terrific actress.

This is very good. Ray Liotta in one of his final roles is just as excellent in cameo as the leads Taron Egerton and Paul Walter Hauser are throughout. Well worth a look.

I'm giving this a second mention now I've finished it, it's a high quality show. Very absorbing, quite dark, excellent acting, and a great cast portraying an interesting true story. Some of the scenes are gripping. Well worth a watch.

City on a Hill

Got to season 2 and Amazon wants to charge $19.99 for S2 or sign up for Showtime

Such a good show. I'm paying the $ and not signing up for Showtime

But isn't Showtime only $10/mo? Can't you just sign up and cancel after watching it?

I could. But decided to go a different route. 

Seems like signing up is always easy and canceling is difficult.

I have Showtime. You can cruise over. Blarg will bring the butter.

I didn’t care for the Ant Man ones all that much but  The Guardian movies have been solid 

I'll watch Guardians 3 but the rest I will likely never see.

I started watching "Counterpart" on Amazon Prime.  It's been okay so far.  Two episodes in.  I'm not sure what the point of the show is just yet.

[Lou]

Watched the first episode of the Alone spinoff:

Speaking of reality TV I have been watching some of the old episodes of Hell's Kitchen (on Tubi). I never watched it before. All the raw language is in these episodes and it's pretty entertaining.

Resident Alien has returned from its Summer hiatus. 

SYFY Channel Wednesday nights

[Tank]

Started watching The Old Man. 
 

Thanks for the recommendations on this one, fellas. It’s a good show. 

[T.G.]

I’ve been alternating between Grandchester, The Tunnel and Counterpart (all on Prime). They’re all good. None of them are great with The Tunnel being the best of the 3 so far, IMO.

Just finished watching this. Not sure what to make of it. It's good all the way through but it feels like it's missing something, probably in the writing.

I wasn't sure if this was a one off series or if it's going to be a multi-season show...

Spoiler

But season 1 ends at a rather odd point, feeling like the story is about 90% resolved.

There will be a 2nd season.

I figured as much. Obviously some surprising shit is going to have to happen to re-ignite the plot.
