Finding New Shit on TV

[twocoach]

Anyone watch The White Lotus? Without spoiling it...what is it? If I liked ____________, I'll like it?

Haven't watched it but it will probably be the next series we watch. Also considering the Miracle Workers series with Steve Buschemi, which looks weird enough to be funny.

Basically about 4-5 groups at a high end luxury resort in Hawaii bitching about shit with the allusion of a murder mystery. I just finished ep 4, and I’m finding it to be pretty meh. To me, not entertaining, don’t care about the characters, and a lot of lost potential. My wife is enjoying it more. I’ll update tomorrow after I finish tonight. A ton of better things on HBO Max

White Lotus was good.
Cast is talented - and I was guessing who'd be the one to go ( I guessed wrong ).
Was shot in a bubble on that resort.

If you liked Knives Out ( certainly not as good as Knives Out ) you'll like this.

Also Ted Lasso season 2 is on.
It's fine.

So . . . no one liked 'Devs', on Hulu?

[pdub]

Don't get Hulu - nor have I heard of it.
Seems interesting.

Related subject matter and very underrated show if you're looking for something -
Halt and Catch Fire.

Definitely didn’t stick the landing on last two episodes. Probably a 6/10, the score is amazing and gives it at least a point, and the resort manager easily another point or two. Also, I get why Mich likes the show. He took the show on its face as a pro-colonialism message instead of realizing it was supposed to be an allegory.

We saw the first season of Halt and Catch Fire but for various reasons we missed a few episodes in Season 2 and it fell off our radar. We really enjoyed what we saw. Should go back and watch. Same with The Americans.

[MICHHAWK]

the Americans is fantastic. it is a must watch.

Watched the 1st two episodes of New Flavor Cherry Red on Netflix.
Yikes.
I have my surround sound set up in the man room and the audio is just incredible. I jumped outta my seat a couple times. Thing comes up quick from behind you.
Just a weir and creepy story so far, and really well done.

It is very good, yes. Bogs down a little in the middle, but that's how these shows go.

[shindig]

Clickbait on Netflix has been entertaining so far. Lots of twists, not sure what is going on.

Humphry Bogart day on TCM.
Dark Passage on now
Followed by The Big Sleep and To Have and Have Not

Squid Game.
I'm on the 2nd episode. Intriguing and the first episode was definitely attention grabbing but I'm just not getting the hype.
Maybe I need to give it another episode or two.

I just finished Round 2 of Muhammad Ali. Really good stuff. Soundtrack is as good as a documentary ever.
