Schmoopie and I binged Bad Thoughts last night. What a charming, wholesome series good for the whole family. Especially around the holidays.

Also, sarcasm tags do not seem to be working.

Havoc was action packed. Story was pretty crap lol

The action scenes are fantastic throughout and make it worth watching, but the plot and characters are barely sketched in.

The latest series of Love, Death and Robots is rubbish, barely 3 decent episodes in a ten ep run.

The marionette RHCP concert just has no place in the series at all.

Agreed, and I love the other seasons. This latest installment was garbage. I thought smart appliances, stupid owners was kind of funny, but it seemed like more of a commercial than an episode.

Finished the four seasons. Really good comedy show. I am utterly shocked by what happened and it makes me wonder if they dont intend to make a 2nd season.

It's listed as a series rather than a limited series so I thought there would be more... but I just don't know. Weird move if that's the case.

I just finished this. While there were some funny moments, I don't think I'd classify this as a comedy. It's been renewed for a second season.

Spoiler

I did laugh at the part right after they found out Nick was killed when Anne's new boyfriend started playing Candle in the Wind on the guitar

Do you think you’d classify it as comedy if you weren’t so distracted on Memorial Day weekend with nonstop uncut sawsidges and hot dogs to the chin?

Job is killing me. 2 girls - about to be 4 and 2. And we are basically the primary caregivers to my wife’s mom now.

We’re headed home today from North Myrtle, where the black bikers shot 11 people on Friday night. Revved up engines at 4 am while my daughters are both asleep. Restaurants aren’t legally allowed to close their doors for business, so they all lie and say they need to shut down for renovations. I already knew they didn’t tip, but apparently, they also don’t pay bills at all and it’s impossible to track them down once they leave with groups of 10-20.

Sounds like a great place to vacation!

Dept. Q - British detective show. This is a good one, put it on the list, your wife will like it too. The Syrian Assistant. Akram, is great. One of the best sidekicks in a while.

The wife and I watched this one last week - very well done I thought.

Season 2 of Tires is a lot better than Season 1. It feels like a raunchy rated R version of, The Office.

I had high hopes given the cast, it was ok. It was a dramady I suppose, but more drama than comedy. Some of the choices were annoying or just meh. But there were good moments too. I didn't realize it was based on an old movie from 1981. The plot point you are shocked about (agree) wasn't in the movie according to reading about it.

I was hoping Tina Fey and Steve Carrell would be a couple, they were good together in the movie Date Night.

Potential plot for season 2 according to Fey.

Some of the humor felt a little more subtle. Like you had to really be paying attention, or you may pick up more on a second watch. They referred back to things a few times and if you werent paying attention you wouldn't have realized they actually just said something really funny.

I actually thought it was very funny but so far no one in here seems to agree with that.

FUBAR - Terrible. I mean, I’m still going to watch it, but it’s just terrible. Monica Barabaro in her undies, not terrible, but the rest is.

I liked season 1, season 2 the first couple of eps have been below average.

I couldn't remember all the details of the season 1 ending which was like 2 years ago so that probably doesn't help.

I'll still watch the rest of it

I just finished it, and really liked it. The first two episodes require some patience as characters are introduced and the story is constructed, but it is definitely worth the patience.

I'm so late to the party on this one. Just started watching Vikings not too long ago. On season 3 now.

I can't believe they are getting in to 20 episode seasons and it seems like it can continue being good.

It's very good. It kind of falls off toward the end, but overall really good.

Finished the Hunt for Bin Laden last night. I thought I knew the entire story but there was lots in there that was new to me.

The Old Guard 2 sucked. Barely anything happens in the entire movie besides setting up the third.

I liked the 1st one, and I cant seem to be motivated to watch the 2nd. I almost did last night but put on Vikings instead.

Started that last night, watched the first 3 eps and I agree so far. I also like the assistant Akram, feels like a fresh original character rather than the usual tropes of these types of shows.

I'm less interested in the specific cold case they are doing than the process of creating the dept and their dynamics, but along for the ride.
