Better Call Saul S6E7.

Great show obviously but E7 really was next-level.

The "Talking Saul" episode after E7 was also very interesting.

Candy on Hulu

Another Jessica Biel series. Good, and it has some solid twists and turns. They spend a considerable amount of time in flashbacks. It surrounds the murder of a woman and the complex issues she was dealing with, along with the people in her life. S1 has only 5 episodes. 

Watched the first 2 episodes. It’s ok, I guess. Kind of slow. Not sure If I will keep watching.

I saw the trailer last night and put it on my watchlist. Looks good. 

Did you start watching “Under the Banner of Heaven?” Thoughts?

Anyone else?  @Lou? @Redondo? It’s pretty good, IMO. A little intense at times.

Yeah, I'm not watching something if it takes me until the 3rd season to pick up.

Wife and I have been watching it. You are right, pretty intense and compelling story line.

The lighting for the show is interesting.  Very dark.  Never brightly lit.

I was anxious about trash day.

i finished S4 of Cobra Kai last night. there are lots of interesting storylines in this show, but my biggest disappointment is that these kids all need to learn how to manage their anger. holy cow, everything turns into a confrontation and ultimately a fight, but the amount of anger and pure straight up bullying is ridiculous.

i'll watch S5 because of the way S4 ended. i'm intrigued. also, the girl Tory seems to be evolving, as well as Robbie.

terry silver sucks.

understandable, especially if your hot neighbor was taking hers out at the same time.

you still owe us a picture.

It's the hip thing in directing to create mood. Like everyone is in permanent midnight. It's pretty stupid when they mood light a police station from the 70's as if they all had incandescent lamps with 30 watt bulbs instead of flickering florescent panels.

I'll think about it.

Movie:  Top Gun Maverick  Perfect blend of nostalgia and action.  Good story.  Lot's of action.  I really liked that they kept the opening the same.  Oh, and @Tank.  My buddy said it reminded him of Iron Eagle.  Watch it in theaters, with premium sound and biggest screen.  Motion seats might also make it more intense.

Watched Top Gun before seeing Maverick.  Probably for the umpteenth time.  First, it's amazing how much material is reused throughout the film.  For the first time, I noticed that the for rent sign at Kelly McGillis' pad was there, the first time he went to her house.  In other words, they just reused the scene in which he goes to her house and sees it empty later in the flick.  Second, Cruise was sporting a unibrow in the movie.  Once you recognize it, it's hard to not get distracted by it throughout the movie.
