agreed.

I still like Yellowstone. You are correct in that 1883 is significantly better though.

Such totally different shows.

Yellowstone is like a cowboy version of Sons of Anarchy. 1883 is bssically a long movie.

1883 is molded in the lonesome dove model.

it's not as good as lonesome dove.....but nothing is really.

That's sort of what I was thinking. Lonesome dove / gone with the wind type style.

I started sopranos about a week or so ago. Had seen a few random edisodes in college because my roommates watched it but never from start to finish.

It's not The Wire good, but still very good.

FX is doing a series based on the Krakauer book Under the Banner of Heaven which I found to be, like the three other books of his i've read, full of depth.

I get FX.
I don't get Hulu.
It's exclusively on Hulu.

Bummer.

Some seasons of the wire are funnier than others depending on which characters are the focus of that season. McNulty and Bunk were hilarious together.

I did not really enjoy it. It is objectively pretty good. Good action, great score, well-acted, etc.

But god damn, it’s just joyless. Taking the whole “dark and gritty” mandate to the ends of the fucking earth.
I'm not even fully sure it's well-acted - meaning, Pattinson's character is just a blob of sadness, moves so slowly when he's not in the Batsuit. Catwoman does well and she's a smoke show. I didn't realize Collin Ferrell was the Penguin - he might have been the best of the bunch.

The story was interesting and I'm glad they didn't re-do the origin all the way from the start again but Nolan's take, along with Bale's Bruce Wayne, was just far better.

has Euphoria been mentioned?

was not a fan at all…in fact, i quit watching maybe 2/3 of the way through

didn’t find Pattinson or Kravitz, or their “chemistry” believable or compelling at all

i think it’ll really take something pretty amazing to surpass the bar set by the Dark Knight trilogy, at least for me

(i did kinda like the bat mobile)

I wanted to see the end, to maybe see if I was missing something.
I wasn't.

The best part was probably the car chase capped with the end shot of it.

it's sent me into a trip down Nas memory lane. I may have underrated his talent for years. Always liked him but don't think I apprioriately appreciated just how good he is.
