hmmm...i'm not necessarily seeing many of the decisions as stupid. i think the show is doing some really good character development / motivations and story-telling that -- at least for me -- justifies or supports scenarios where ego meets desperation.

in short...i like it.

it's no where near as stupid as "the undoing". those characters were idiots.

I live just outside of Kingston, but it's pretty rural, lots of farms etc. You actually hear people using a lot of the same expressions in some of the smaller towns, it's funny as fuck.

The show overall is just really damn funny.

Imposters on Netflix. Simple and entertaining.

TXSTYLE · 01-13-2021, 08:30 PM

Barbarians (German) on Netflix is quite entertaining.

Fraiser. Rewatching it before it's pulled for something offensive.

Just saw a promo for Kenan , with Kenan Thompson from Saturday night live, for a new TV series in February. NBC. Looking forward to it. He has been hilarious on Saturday night live for a long time

Just watched it. You did. I've loved Kenan since his Nickelodeon Days on All That & Kenan & Kel.

I'll definitely give this one a try.

Anyone watch WandaVision yet?

Murf993 · 01-21-2021, 08:00 AM

I started watching Kingdom last night, MMA stuff. Pretty decent so far.

I've watched the first episode. I will watch the second and third over the weekend. It seems to be all set-up and character establishment in the first episode. My brother has gotten through the first 2 and says it's good. We are both huge Marvel fans.

Watched the first 2 so far; and agree. First episode is mostly set-up; second episode starts to show "trouble in paradise" so to speak; won't say any more to avoid spoilers.

Biggest thing I've noticed so far is you need to pay close attention to the show - things change subtly but quickly, and there are easter eggs everywhere in it.

I will say this: Some people have complained about the "design" of the show - where it is so old-fashioned, etc. Personally I love it. I grew up on old reruns of I Love Lucy, Bewitched, etc so I totally get the feel they are going for and I think I see the "why" as well.
