Finishing up season 6 which is the final season. Definitely a TV show. Character development was well done by the writers. Even with all the phony stuff I enjoyed the series.

This name. Darryl Crowe Jr. should mean something to whoever has watched the series. Perfect role for that guy.

Was that Michael Rapaport's character?

Netflix:  The Good Place  Just to head off the inevitable, be quiet Lou.  So overall it's a standard network TV type comedy series.  Although season one doesn't have as many laughs because they are trying to set things up more.  Overall,  it's pretty generic stuff, and more in tame mode for network TV.  Season one was ok, as I said, more of a setup season.  Season two and three is where it really picks up.  I think if you are a Ted Danson or Kristen Bell fan, you'd enjoy it.  If you want something mellow and kick back, then this is a pretty good one.

Spoiler

So you are saying it's kind of the frozen yogurt of comedies.

Yes. He played that part to a T

Every reviewer seemed to hate his Darryl Crowe.  I liked it.  I was entertained by all the Crowes.  Especially the one with the knife.

Netflix:  Unbelievable.  Docu Crime series about a serial rapist.  It focused more on the main victim who got charged with making a false police report, some of the other victims and the police officers from another state that caught him.  This was one really well done limited series.  It's a must if you like police crime dramas.  Definitely one I'd recommend to anyone, even Lou.

I'm just about to finish up Season 2. I've seen all of Seasons 1-5 before, and part of 6, but I never finished it for some reason. Such a great show.

Netflix:  The Ranch  WTF is this crap.  The previews made it look more serious, but it's a comedy with a laugh track?  I got 6 minutes in, and couldn't take it anymore.  Hear that Lou, there are shows I don't like.  So disappointing.

Just rewatched This is the End.... holy sh*t do I love that movie.

I never said that there aren't shows that you don't like. I just said that every show you watch is crappy.

Just finished "Undone" on Amazon Prime. With a combined run time under four hours you can knock this out pretty quick.

It plays a lot like an indie film, with a snarky neurotic female lead with daddy issues who just happens to discover her ability to manipulate time. The series is created in the same way as 'A Scanner Darkly' where its originally shot on film, then the frames are individually painted over to create a sort of hybrid animation effect. The effect works well to help the competing timelines mix together visually... a traditional approach might have looked odd, or come across as cheesy.

The writing is really good here. Witty dialogue, believable characters and an interesting mystery. It's worth checking out.

Netflix:  The I-land  Ugg.  So the premise is a bunch of people wake up, can't remember anything, on an island.  It just seemed rushed, and the story line wasn't really well thought out.  It's a defnite pass.  Except for Lou, Lou should watch it.

I never liked that late 90s era of teen pop and even I loved that ending.  Perfect song for that scene.

ABC just broadcast a two hour special about the death of Phil Hartman and his wife. It was sad with moments that were very touching. It was 21 years ago and I'd forgotten a few details, like how his wife shot herself a few hours later while the police were on the property.

such a terrible loss.

Los Espookys - HBO

The first episode starts out with a Horror themed Quinceanera.  From there a group of quirky friends go on to start a Horror based, scare business,  Los Espukys.

I'm 3 episodes in and so many laugh out loud moments.  Lorne Michaels and Fred Armisen are Executive producers.

This sounds more like a @gotbeer than @Lou kind of series.

Sounds like something I'd come up with while drinking with some of my mexican pals, only to file it away and never think about it again.

Re-watching Season 6 of Downton Abbey, in preparation for the movie.

Still great, even the second time around.

Anybody seen the movie yet?

Great show, one of my favorites.

We saw The Peanut Butter Falcon the other day. It's a fantastic movie. Kind of like a modern-day Mark Twain story. Well, not totally modern-day, but you get the point.
