Aint No Right

I finally finished watching the three seasons of "The Fall" in less than two weeks (5-6 episodes per season, the longest one was season 2 finale). I really like Jamie Dornan. I still don't know what is he doing in those 50 shades movies. He really is a good actor (yeah, he's gorgeous but he can act).

I'm probably late on this one but Stranger Things was great! Wifey and I blazed through it in 3 nights.

just finished The People vs OJ Simpson on Netflix

Good docudrama.
10 part miniseries about the trial of the century.
poor Marcia Clark.

Has tom hardy' taboo on BBC beeen mentioned here? I know we have some TH fans here...

I've read that it sucks. I haven't watched it yet though...Does it really suck that bad?

I read some very negative reviews about this show too. I'm still planning to check it out to see if I like it or not.

Well I m not a tom hardy fan (mrs ec is) so didn't keep me engaged it's a bit weird. Generally what auntie (BBC) puts out has a certain quality

(Not selling this am I?) it will appeal to fans of victoriana noir..

You had me at Tom Hardy and victorian. Will definitely check it out.

anyone watch the killing? never heard of it before. i am almost finished with season 1 and it's pretty good.

Man you need to watch the Danish one. It's BRILLIANT.

I haven't seen the remakes but the original Danish version of The Killing is out of this world. The Bridge is equally good!

I'm no expert but I reckon up there with True Detective and Breaking Bad.

My wife dragged me practically kicking and screaming into watching several of her shows and now I'm getting into Billions and Suits mostly due to the acting in both series.

I like Billions, haven't watched Suits.

Suits used to do some filming in the office tower I worked in.

Yeah, Billions is pretty good. We've been watching that, Homeland, the HBO show about the stand up comedian and Islanders games.

It's interesting how Netflix has become the place for new big name comedy specials. I watched 1 of 2 new Chapelle specials and it was funny. New Jim Norton was decent. I thought Any Schumer's special sucked. I guess that's controversial to say, lol, just didn't think it was funny.

After we blazed through Stranger Things the O A was recommended. Watched the first 2 episodes and haven't gone back yet. It seems cool but it didn't suck us in. Will finish though

Dave's new specials were good, though I realized partway through that he reused some old jokes, which is okay, but it's definitely old-school, and I don't think he'll ever be as big as he was... a kind of Jane's Addiction-like nostalgia trip, without the hits. I'm hoping the third one will be better.

I don't think it's controversial to say that Amy Schumer's special sucked. It did suck. It was godawful. I think it would only be controversial if you said: "Man did that special suck. See? Women aren't funny after all."

The Jim Norton one I can't bring myself to watch. I've been burned by Netflix garbage specials too many times now. I don't trust them.

I'm usually not a fan of standup specials but the Jim Norton one was pretty funny. You should give it a try.

Is it just me or anyone else having Game of Thrones withdrawal? My mind and body are used to watching it around this time.
I recommend "The Fall" again. I need to catch up on other shows like "The Killing". To be honest, I prefer original shows. I've only seen a couple of episodes of a show called "Borgen" and some actors have been in American shows (2 in GoT and 1 in Westworld).

It wasn't bad. I think I laughed about as much as I did during the Dave Chappelle ones. Not a huge fan of his style/topics, but there were some pretty good bits.

But Hype, Netflix is doing away with their 5 star rating system because pro-gun, pro-Trump republicans trolled her special just to give it 1 star!

Whether you're right or left or wherever....that's a funny excuse for a poor performance!

I really enjoyed (felt uncomfortable) with the fall and was disappointed with the ending but did spend two weeks with the actor who played the policeman who "got with" skully in the first season

really sad big little lies is ending tonight. ive loved this mini series - great writing, cinematography, acting, editing, etc.

I've enjoyed this show too. Among all of the above, the casting is great as well.

Has anyone read the book? Is it a good read?

Got my Friday night plans sorted out...

New episodes if The Get Down- April 7th
