I haven't even watched Foundation You missed The Morning Show which is phenomenal. Platonic with Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne is also pretty funny. Truth be Told with Octavia Spencer is also pretty good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also recommend Truth Be Told with Octavia Spencer. Platonic is good mindless comedy, those two have good synergy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Omega Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Platonic was OK, not as good as some of their other offerings, but not bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't even watched Foundation Hijack was promising but went downhill Spoiler The hijackers are amateurs. They get told to do a job or someone hires professional hitmen to kill their families. Why not hire professionals to do the hijacking They hyped him up as this big time closer for companies and whatnot but all his plans have failed At first he didn't want to attack the hijackers but now he does? Don't know who the new woman is with the gun. She's clearly not a cop. Maybe she's the backup in case the amateurs screwed up I don't really believe a nation would allow a plane to fly over their capital just by the word of one nation saying they're not the target No one else thought to test out the wifi when the hijackers initially lied saying the wifi was out? There's so many problems 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's so many problems Spoiler They are definitely amateurs - I guess these criminal masterminds figured it would be easier to get them to do the job than pros, since there's no way they are getting out of this alive or without going to prison I think he waited to attack until he was certain that these people weren't really inclined to actually shoot people. And he now knows that only 1 person has real bullets. The new woman works for the dude that they left out of prison - when he got in the hidden car he texted someone the word "now" then they switched to her going into the bathroom and pulling out her gun. You definitely have to suspend belief to an extent for a show like this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBW Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Finished ted lasso this week. The show got some negative criticism in the final season but I think it ended on a great note and there’s not a more loveable character on tv than Ted. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikemack8 Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Yeah Severance was great, but the amount of time it takes these shows to release follow up seasons is absolutely absurd at this point. 2-3 years between seasons for 8 to 10 episodes?

The_Omega Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 The Morning Show - Season 2 and 3 they've thoroughly destroyed Chip's character. Turned him into a pathetic mess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
