Stuff I watched recently...

"Those about to die"
I found the 1st episode boring, but ep 2&3 got me hooked. It looks promising.
The only thing that is disappointing is the bad computer-generated imagery that prevents a good immersion.

I've just finished watching the whole season : incredible story with a lot of plot twists and excellent acting.
I recommend ++

Excited for Season 2 of Severance. Season 1 was really good.

"Earth Abides"...so far so good!


A few bits and pieces of Google lore amongst others.... "Earth Abides" is, remarkably, the first on-screen adaptation of George R. Stewart's seminal 1949 novel. Charting the sudden collapse of civilization, it's inspired numerous works, including Stephen King's "The Stand", Jimi Hendrix's "Third Stone from the Sun", and the BBC's "Threads". Some I knew, but questioned others, but if you give it a bit of a view... you'll probably see a few casual similarities. It' been way too long ago forsince my reading. It is a weekly show. 'nuff said.

Btw... it was good to see "Bjorn" (Alexander Ludwig) in the starring role.

Now that Tulsa King is over I have switched to Landman.

A bit over the top, but since I used to work in the industry and have been to Midland/Odessa I have to say it's actually not that badly made.

Stacking a few episodes of Landman for a decent binge, but I hear ya! Sounds good.

I do not like shows that gratuitously kill off dogs.

I'm waiting on a few episodes for a good binge... I do remember however a pooch named "Lucky" that ish saved on the road and became his best friend... perhaps what you mentioned is in future episodes.

If that relates to future episodes I haven't seen yet... just consider me sorry for that my friend and you have my apologize in advance

No Good Deed: Season 1

Okay, okay... we definitely were not watching the same show.

I binged the rest of it. The only dog that passed was most likely of old age. (Think there will be s season two? Read the book.)

You were however right about "Landman"... another Taylor Sheridan money maker... yes, I'm all in for that one's second season!

Okay, what might you think of "Severance"? A long awaited season two is coming soon.

Nah, the dog got hit by a falling tree branch for no reason whatsoever. I mean, it would have been a more compelling story to watch if that dog had been Greg Abbott, so it feels like a double-downer. I also would have enjoyed watching Greg Abbott getting eaten by rats, but obviously you cannot have everything in life.

Ah, I am being facetious. Honestly, the show had its moments, but overall it's not something I have to watch again. Can someone explain to me how decades after the virus wipes out humanity, the survivors still have working electricity and running water? If your idea of survival is relying on infrastructure that is not maintained yet magically continues working, you might as well take the way out like those people in Vegas...

Tried watching Megalopolis the other day. Could not finish it, even when I tried to convince myself that the sunk cost fallacy is not real and I had already invested two hours of my life into that abomination.

Wicked was good, though. Liked it more than I expected. Of course it helped that they served alcohol at the theater.

Also, both Red One and Dear Santa were a good time waste while waiting for my lump of coal to arrive.
