This looks great.
Put everything down and get that watched, amazing show!
Yep thats on my list too
I'm not so sure. They were unhinged psychopaths who outdid the Mafia when it came to gruesome murders. That's not the vibes I got from the trailer.
Hope I'm wrong, though.
Bosch's moustache is hilarious.
I watched the 1991 Scorcese film again the other night with De Niro, Nolte and Lange followed by the original from 1962 with Mitchum and Peck. Both good films, the 1991 version pays homage to the original as Mitchum and Peck play supporting roles.
Not too sure if the TV remake will stretch the storyline into ten episodes but from the first three episodes I'm loving Bardem ham it up as Max Cady, oh and Juliette Lewis turns up in the TV show paying homage to her character as the daghter in the 1991 movie.
Another show screwed up by fecking supernatural bullshit...
Spoilers in the non-specific show thread, bro.
It's been borderline dreadful so far. Incredible cast, really well shot but slow and convoluted. Not seen last night's episode yet, but it needs to crack on.
Just a stupid, unnecessary plot line.
New season of The Agency starts tomorrow.
I've not actually seen it so i've got no skin in the game, I accidentally majorly spoiled myself when googling it....
Was the alien reveal completely out of leftfield or had there been hints?
The former for me.
But not jarring enough to put you off continuing? Tbf, the original synopsis for the first season was 'genre-bending noir', so I assume they are going to focus on a different genre in each season? Maybe season 2 is just leaning further into sci-fi after the big reveal...
Euphoria season 3
Have to say I thoroughly enjoyed that. Maybe because I didn't remember a single thing from the first 2 seasons so just treated it like a separate show.

Have to watched the original Miami Vice(The first two seasons) ?
Apart from some awful comedy bits with an alligator and the usual bad 80's TV acting it's surprisingly pretty great. Micheal Mann didn't direct any of the episodes but can clearly see his influence.

It was out of left field. I guess we will see in S2 if it works.
Cape Fear - not great with a plot that doesn't make logical sense and is taking far too long not to do so. I'd probably stop watching if there was enough good new stuff around.
Witch's Bay - if you like horror you will enjoy this as it adds a bit of humor to the genre. Shame the finale felt like a mis season break.

Very good program although I thought the final season was weaker than the rest. Well worth a watch.
I was enjoying that until E10 of S1 when it got really stupid and all cold war espionage logic flew out the window in favour of some melodramatic incoherent nonsense.
The whole season had been about not letting emotions rule your decisions because they're spies and its life or death. Then they just let Gregory wander off in the hope that he gets killed by cop and doesn't give up the whole operation and put their kids into care. Literally the stupidest plot decision I've seen in quite a while and what was the pay off? A slow motion death scene of this bit-part played-out love interest?
The Elizabeth of the previous 9 episodes would have shot him herself without a second thought.
I'm not sure I want to continue watching if the writers are going to indulge in this kind of shit.

Don't remember that scene, but the show as a whole is excellent & worth continuing.
Well if you don't remember it then I'll probably forget about it too and hopefully that means they don't indulge in anymore of that.
For me it was a serious misstep and from a writing and character development point of view was totally inconsistent with what went before.
It's excellent and only gets better.
Watched the first season so lets see how they go with the second. Great cast in this.
Good start to S2.
On the last episode of Godless - a single season Western. Bloody good. E1 is a bit slow so I’d say stick with it until you know some of the characters and their dynamics in E2 - then you’ll know if it’s your thing or not.
Christ almighty, what a great show...
maybe it is but that trailer does nothing for me. It makes it look like a very small town america-centric drama and football does nothing for me. High school kids playing sports shouldn't be taken so seriously as far in concerned.
Take a pass then. You'll be the one missing out.
It is that, but it's done exceptionally well. There are also moments in it that critique the way high school football is taken so seriously in towns like this. But to be fair, it IS a very big deal to some people. Getting a scholarship to a college is absolutely life changing for some high schoolers and their families
I have no interest in American football either but the show makes it seem exciting and interesting somehow
Binged the lot in two days. Season 2 is as good as season 1, in my opinion. Fassbender is fantastic, and the supporting cast is also top notch, as you said.
Talking about the Agency? (Too lazy to scroll up)
Yup.
Ah yes, great show. Have to start S2 soon. Good to read it's good again.
Will say its sometimes weird to watch that show and then also the Diplomat given how much time they each spend at the US Embassy in London
Ok fair enough. I only became aware that college football was massive relatively recently. I didn't realise that it was also such a big deal in high school.
Although Australian getting a sporting scholarship to a quality US Uni was life changing for my son in all aspects of life, sporting, social and academic. A different, non-money sport but still very important for him.

In Texas they have high schools with 15K to 20K seat stadiums.
Season 2 of The Agency is getting quite good.
The actor playing Owen is great.
