probably? 

Well, my drunk life is Emmy worthy.  I'd say Oscar worthy, but 3 hours just won't do it justice.  But then again, what Blarg produces is Emmy worthy, so it's kind of a low bar.

Forgot about Bosch until I saw Lou mention it. Watched the whole thing yesterday. Really well done again and don't recall any dull moments or throw away episodes.

I never noticed Bosch has a Deftones White Pony logo on his arm and the show even ended the last episode with an acoustic version of one of their songs. Pretty cool and I wonder which person of the show wanted them in the show. Speaking of which, they seemed to go a little lighter on the jazz this season.

My only questions of the show that I remember are:

Spoiler

1) As I'm watching I have no idea why criminals are flying people out to their compound just to fly them back. If the goal is to reward junkies with Oxy, why not just give it to them in LA and have them be on their way? They all meet at the Garcia Clinic anyway to run their routes. Just seemed unnecessary and a loop hole to potentially get busted for a group that seemed well trained. But the plane fight scene was comical and even though we knew they would try to kill Bosch, the prudent move is to just escape out of the country as they had planned.

2) I didn't really catch the tie up to the Gary killing with Edgar and the Jamaicans. I get the dirty cop component, but didn't get the interaction at the dudes house although it ends with the guy saying his dad killed Edgar's uncle.

@Lou And down the rabbit hole I continue to go.

Netflix:  Bonding.  A show about a dominatrix and gay guy.  Only saving grace it had is it's short 15 minute episodes.  But yeah, you have to be pretty drunk to watch this one.  Luckily I was.  

[Lou]

@Redondo have you watched Traitors?

The Bachelor series has never been nominated for an Emmy. But it has made my house payment much longer than most Emmy award winning programs on television so I'm good with that.

I am officially at the bottom of the barrel.

Netflix - The Unicorn Store.  I gave it a shot because of Brie Larson and Samuel L Jackson.  Kind of a kid/chick flick/feminist flick.  All about girls growing up and confidence or some shit like that.  It's more silly than anything, and not really in the haha kind of sillyness.  It's a bottom of the barrel want to watch something mindless type of film.  

My wife watched this yesterday and really connected with it. It seems to be a love it or hate it kind of a movie.

good call. I made it through 2.5 episodes and quit. 

 

[Lou]

Anyone watching The Blacklist? 

We finally know who Raymond Reddington is. 

[Taylor]

Avengers Endgame was all kinds of excellent.

[RallyMo]

Endgame was really, really good. It's just a very well made film.

[gotbeer]

Netflix:  Wanted.  Morgan Freeman, Angelina Jolie, James McAvoy.  It had potential.  Then jumped the train shark.  It was more mindless entertainment.  But not really what you would go out of your way to see.  I'd say it was a hitman movie, mixed in with the impossible things a fast and the furious brings.  

[Redondo]

Finished season 1 of Secret City. Liked it so far

Starting season 2

I finally got hooked up to Amazon and I'm making a list of good shows to watch. Bosch and The Wire are the first ones.

the streak continues.

"Then jumped the train shark."  -  did you coin this phrase? 

 

[Taylor]

Is train shark related to ghost shark?

Oh, if you watched the movie, you'd know exactly what I meant.  But I don't think you will want to watch the movie to find out.

[Brandon]

Wanted wasn't too bad. It's not going to win any awards, but was a decent enough movie to watch once. Movies like this that are that obvious as filler movies, you just need to have the same expectations of a Jason Statham movie and you won't be disappointed.
