Finished S5 of "The Americans."  I've enjoyed the series a lot, but I'm ready for it to be over.  I'm looking forward to seeing how it ends in S6.  Funny, when "Justified" finished its run, it left me wanting more.  With this show, I feel like they've taken the story as far as it can go... and all that's left is to figure out how it all ends.

 

One of the best endings for a series ever.  It does go as far as the story can go.

Showtime:  Billions  About 2 seasons in.  And it might be on Prime, or at least a few seasons might be on Prime.  But wow.  So far so good.  A pretty complex show about a hedge fund vs a prosecutor.  Pretty much seems like a chess match between the two where each show is a move and counter move.  Definitely worth the watch.

I'm looking forward to gotbeer recommending that we watch Happy Days.

That's funny considering...

Her parents are spies... they kill people... even innocent people and you want to snuff out the daughter?  I know it's just a TV show... but I bet a lot of people watching sort of root for Phillip and Elizabeth - which is weird.  They're pretty bad people - and Elizabeth is the worst.

Being annoying is worse than being a murderer.

Just saw the new Leonard Cohen documentary at the local Laemmle theater.  What a moron Walter Yetnikoff was for resigning to release Various Positions and his signature song in America.

she's annoying and a lot of the scenes with her have been tedious. we haven't enjoyed her story arc.

as far as "rooting" for her parents, i think that's germane to the show. they've done a good job of creating moments of empathy (?? can't think of a better word) for them and what they're tasked with doing. 

it was interesting to see martha in her new life. i wonder if we'll see her in S6.

I’m through E7. It’s very intense. 

Looks like this last season is only 10 episodes long. It’s hard to stop watching.

I understand how people can have empathy for them, but I have resisted that urge. It’s well written and produced.

Reminds me if the movie “Heat” where the audience had empathy for Robert DeNiro’s character.

I like the Stan Beeman character a lot and I really don’t like Elizabeth.

I won’t say more than that.

I didn’t care for the Ant Man ones all that much but  The Guardian movies have been solid

I had to look up Thunderbolts as I have no idea who they are. Seems like they are running low on ideas at this point

I haven’t watched any of their documentaries but they do have some shows I like watching. Admittedly, I like the alien stuff and shows like Pawn Stars

I don’t think most of the Marvel movies are particularly good at this point. It was not near as good as the first one. As long as these movies keep making money they’ll still make more of them

If it's the original Secret Wars, then I'm interested.  But that they are calling it Avengers: Secret Wars, it's just going to be Infinity Wars 2:  The quest for more money.
