IMO the first two seasons are fantastically hilarious. 

there have been some terrific moments, no doubt. last night as i was finishing S1, it seemed like the more he drank and the more drugs he did, the less funny it was. i get that it's part of his character, and the stuff with joe buck was pretty good, but i wasn't a fan of parts of it. we'll see how S2 goes.

Started watching Brockmeier a few weeks ago and finished S1 tonight. Some parts are good, and others are meh. 

I watched a few episodes and dropped it... I might go back to it at some point.  I would agree, some parts are good/funny... a lot of it... not so much.

Netflix:  The Defeated  A detective/cop show that takes place immediately after WW2 in Berlin.  The authenticity of the show setting was what really caught me.  I don't want to give much away, but the opening scene really showed perception to reality.  I thought this series was really well done, and recommend it to all you crime fans.

Duran Duran Behind The Music Revisited on Paramount Plus.  John Taylor looks like a cross between James Franco and Matt Bellamy of Muse now.

Netflix:  Untold Deal with the Devil  A Documentary about female boxer Christy Martin.  Was a real interesting story, and worth it if you remember her back in the day.  Definitely eye opening.

Unlike people like @Taylor, I’m anti-crime.

Mythic Quest on Apple TV+ is great. Created by Rob McElhaney and Charlie Day from It's Always Sunny.

Watched 2 episodes of S1 of The Defeated last night on Netflix

Good show

Thanks @Tank

finished S1 of The Killing last night. Incorrectly assumed that it would be a stand alone season with no carry-over to S2.

there's a lot going on, and we like. don't really enjoy the on-and-off relationship between the two lead detectives as their communication is pretty poor. still not completely convinced on who the real murderer is . . . yet . . .

i think we'll start S2 once i get home this afternoon. it's a good show.

Nomadland

Watched this last night, it's definitely the short season Dodgers champion of movies. It's something of a mix between character study and a look at post 2008 life in rural, lower class, white America. The two don't completely mesh for me as Frances McDormand's character is very much in control of her life if only she could bring herself to reach out and change it. It is something of a reflection on a common misidentification on the left of individual failures being a result of socioeconomic factors and not simply personal choice. Or maybe this was just hyper subtle, ineffective conservative propaganda.

I think Holder and Linden’s relationship is really well done.

Finished S1 of The Defeated

Good show and strong ending

It's on Netflix

Lonesome Dove

Re-watched over the past few nights as the wife and kids had never seen it and I loved it years ago, along with the books.  Great characters, special effects were a little hokey but considering they are 32 years old....whatevs.

Netflix: Norm MacDonald Has A Show

Michael Keaton to Norm: I'm going to tell you what you are a Master of - segues.

 

So true

Watching Lupin on Netflix

French series so you need CC

Writers really take a lot for granted with his character

So many phony things that would never happen

Worth watching, nothing special

When I watched it on Netflix I didn't need CC or see it offered, it just started with English voiceovers. Think I mentioned that a while ago when I watched it. Just took some getting used to with the lip syncing off.

I like to listen to the foreign languages and read the CC. I miss too much if I just listen. I'm so used to reading now that I like it better.

the first season of Lupin was fun to watch. after that, it was merely okay. i'm always wary of someone who has each of the uniforms needed to break into different buildings or be part of a repair crew or whatever.
