I’m 2 episodes into Black Bird (my guess is you started watching this bc you thought it was about a giant dong) and it is awesome. Is this show completely under the radar, bc it’s the best new show I’ve seen in awhile? Haven't looked into this show much but isn't it about a guy in prison and the guards are mean to him, sounds like a tired old scenario done before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m only through 2 episodes so I can’t speak to the future, but the plot so far has nothing to do with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, will check it out, Apple TV + seems to have decent shows, on the other hand Peacock is full of garbage, wow! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guard thing is a minor subplot and is meant only to show the risks the one guy was taking. Def worth watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gern Blanston Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Bit the bullet and got Apple TV started last month. Watched Ted Lasso (loved it), almost finished with For All Mankind (digging it, gets a little soapy, but still enjoying it) and have Severance up next. Any other series to check out. The promos for Blackbird seem kind of meh to me. One thing I hate is the interface... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Severance is best thing on Apple IMO and acting on black Bird, especially by fat dude from I Tonya is great, but it’s not perfect. I did enjoy it. Have wanted to watch the dinosaur show with my kids, but they keep turning it off. It looks pretty cool though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gannan Posted December 29, 2022 Author Share Posted December 29, 2022 Watching "Tehran". Fans of "Homeland" should like it, has at least one of the same actors and probably done by the same people. Has that vibe to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent23 Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 I've more heard other people (film/tv critics on podcasts) mention it, and I used to be better at listening to the Awards Chatter podcast by Scott Feinberg, and one of the episodes was his talking to Stiller (which is why my brain has programmed that it is Escape at and not Escape from which apparently was a common mess up). Also listening to that may have been how I learned that George Costanza's dad on Seinfeld (Jerry Stiller) was Ben Stiller's father in real life.
