They have a few good arcs going. I still find it hilarious that John Malkovich is damn near identical to Teddy KGB in Rounders. Speaking of which, I saw a name that looked familiar from that movie....Michael Rispoli, he was the backer/goon in that flick and plays the commissioner in the new season. Doesn't look the same until I saw the credits and looked again, even though he has the same NY Italian goon accent. Makes sense these dudes are in since Brian Koppelman and David Leiven write the show and wrote Rounders.

Can’t imagine how exciting a full season of milk stools and cheese making would be, but whatever floats your boat, mang.

Saw Triple Frontier earlier in the week and it was okay.  I think it started off much better than it ended.

Watched it last night. Okay describes it well.

Has anyone watched After Life on Netflix? It stars Ricky Gervais, who I find hilarious, and has a Curb your Enthusiasm look to it. 

Finishing up the last season of The Americans, and will probably start After Life next.

Netflix:  Turn up Charlie.  Fun little series.  Quick 30 minute episodes.  Nothing too spectacular about it.  But a good time killer.

Have you watched it yet? I watched the entire season in 2 nights. 

The only thing I'll say is that it's not like Curb Your Enthusiasm.

I thought it was very good. Funny, sad and poignant at times.

I have not gotten to it yet. How would you rate it on a 1-10?

Spot on description.

Watched The Dirt last night which is the Nextflix movie based on Nikki Sixx's book.  Worth the watch for entertainment value and if you have the time.  I've heard there's quite a bit from the book that didn't make it into the movie but that's to be expected when a lot of books get made into a single movie.

request time: any recommendations for a good show/movie about Benedict Arnold?

[gotbeer]

Netflix:  Into the Badlands Season 3.  Just as good as the other seasons.  A lot of outrageous martial arts and swordplay, and the story goes all over the place.  But how could you say no to a kung fu series?  

[gotbeer]

Netflix:  The Guild.  This is an oldie.  Probably one of the first crowdsourced/web shows.  They put the episodes into one big episode, instead of the little 5 or so minute episodes.  So episode 1 is a combination of all the little clips they had for season 1.  If you have never seen it on youtube before.  Whenever Felicia Day talks like she's doing a video journal, that's the beginning of the episode.  It's probably kind of weird if it's the first time you've seen the series.  If you are not into computer games, particularly MMPORG's, then this series is probably not for you.  Because it goes deep into the nerd in the basement story.  But if you have ever gotten into games like Warcraft, and you have never watched this series, then this is a glimpse into what you are or could have been.

The latest show that I have picked up on is Garage Rehab on Discovery. For those unaware, Richard Rawlings of Gas Monkey Garage in Dallas invests in failing garages. He invests his money, time and contacts to rebuild the shops and give them all new equipment. The owners have to pay him back over time or he takes ownership (to my knowledge, this hasn't happened yet).

[gotbeer]

Netflix:  OA Season 2.  Not to be confused with AO, which is a whole season of complaining.  If you liked season 1, you will like season 2.  I thoroughly enjoyed it.  That's about all I can say about it.  And if you haven't seen OA, then I'd recommend it.

Looking forward to watching this. The first season was very strange but very compelling and fun to watch.

watched the new Julio Roberts series The Homecoming.

imo, it was boring, utterly predictable and the acting was terrible. Roberts is awful. 

Is that Julia's brother?

Started a bit slow but I actually liked it.

[Lou]

I watched it on HBO Telemundo.

Netflix:  The Dirt.  Was enjoyable.  Sure not the full story, but still fun.  But I thought it would have been a much better movie if it was a 10-12 episode season instead.  A lot of it seemed rushed and not fully explained.  

[gotbeer]

Alita:  Battle Angel.  Had a free pass, so went and watched it.  It was ok.  It just didn't seem like it translated well.  And it just seemed like this should have been a multimovie series or even a TV series.  It just seemed rushed, and not fully thought out.   Graphics were nice.  Story was meh.  It had potential, but think it was a wasted opportunity.  Probably a bored and looking for something to watch type movie.  And this probably wouldn't be a first choice.
