We finished all 5 seasons of The Wire. I don’t think we share the same level of enthusiasm for it as many others, but glad we watched it and thought it was a good show.

Started Season 4 of The Bear. It sucks. Really seems like it ran it course.

Started watching Dept. Q... at first I didn't care for it, took probably 2-3 episodes to get into it. Now almost done with it and it's pretty good.

It's on my list.

I had a wisdom tooth pulled yesterday. Chilling today, need something to watch. Finished Waterfront, wasn’t impressed. Can’t get past Episode one of Animal Kingdom. Will try Dept Q now.

Finished it. It's one of those shows that honestly if I had something else to watch I probably wouldn't have made it past the first few episodes, but it actually got better as it went and by the end I enjoyed it and would watch a second season if there was one.

Now started Resident Alien... never heard of this show before. One episode in it's interesting... will continue.

I had to call it quits on The Bear. I'm 3 episodes in and it's not working out for me. I've heard and read all of the critical acclaim, just can't get there.

I never watched one episode of The Bear. Was not interested. My daughter, on the other hand, watches every episode. Has a thing for the star. Don't see it myself.

I had heard great things regarding Resident Alien. Couldn't make it past the 4th episode.

RickFLM4 · 06-30-2025, 08:13 PM

Couldn’t get through first episode of The Waterfront.

Also tried but didn’t get too far into Havoc (Tom Hardy movie on Netflix).

Netflix has a lot of bad to mediocre content.

First two seasons were pretty good, I thought. Started to lose me in Season 3 and got me to regret it by Season 4.

I'm on episode 4 or 5 now and it's alright. I enjoy it enough to keep watching it but I don't feel the need to binge watch the whole thing. Like if I find something better to watch I'll switch and come back to it when I don't have anything to watch.

That's a shame, I liked it. Did you watch Animal Kingdom? To me, it didn't start as strong as The Waterfront but the story's getting good too.

Yes. I like Animal Kingdom, especially season# 1-3. Like most shows it could have ended before it did.

So I guess I should give it another shot? I didn't even finish episode one.

Yes, it didn't start out that strongly but it gets better imho with more side stories.

I’d give it a few episodes. If you aren’t getting into it by then you probably won’t.

There are some scenes I could definitely do without and I suspect you’ll figure out which ones. Fast forward is a nice feature.

Rono63 · 07-01-2025, 01:32 PM

I enjoyed Mobland it has a good cast with Pierce Brosnan, Tom Hardy, Helen Mirrer and others.

Seen where it has been renewed for another season.

Same. We started it a few days ago and finished episode 3 last night. Pretty boring and blah. Would watch something else in a heartbeat but there isn't anything else out there worth watching right now.

Alfisti · 07-01-2025, 07:58 PM

Well, well, well, all you bastards starting to sound like me.

Meh

Couldn't get into it

mediocre

Bailed at episode 3

Get F1TV and start watching race highlights from 1986 to today. That's the solution.
