The TV thread

Just finished White Lotus S2. Liked it a lot better than the first. Aubrey Plaza is so smoldering. And the Italian actress who played Lucia....wow, che bella donna!

Tom Hollander is so awesome at playing menacing and or funny characters. What a talent.

 

Shrinking is fantastic.

I also enjoyed the hell out of the Tetris movie.

If you like musicals, Schmigadoon is so well done with an A++++++ cast (Alan Cumming, Kristin Chenoweth, Aaron Tveit, Fred Armisen, Jane Krakowski, Martin Short, Adriana DeBose, Dove Cameron, Keegan Michael Key and Cecily Strong, amongst many others).

 

Watching The Diplomat. Rufus Sewell deserves all of the Emmys.

 

Oh, I’m starting The Diplomat soon. Been told by people I trust that it’s fantastic.

 

Watching the Band of Brothers marathon on Sundance yesterday and today. Twenty-plus years later and it still holds up as one of the best shows ever. Still sucks me in every time I see it on.

 

This one, about two mismatched female Australian detectives, has promise. A bit of a Twin Peaks feel.

 

You ever try The Pacific? Just as good

 

I read the book, but haven't seen the TV series. The book was good, but I preferred Band of Brothers. I've read BoB a couple of times (plus a couple of the individual memoirs) and might go back and read it again.

 

Very sad about this

Whomever is doing the algorithms on streaming/cable shows needs to understand that there are some shows that are so good that people assume they don't have to jump on them as soon as they drop new episodes.

Yeah, I'm still hacked at Hulu for dumping Reboot.

 

I binged the show. I thought the second season became a mess. Slow and meandering.

 

Lewis and Livingston were incredible. Even David Schwimmer is truly outstanding.
