The TV thread

Hard Knocks - AFC North is really insightful. There are no mysteries between those teams. They have Zac Taylor saying exactly what the Steelers are going to do in a mid-week team meeting and then they cut to Tomlin with the exact same analysis/prediction about what the Bengals are going to do.

Hard to believe that Tomlin was once the youngest HC in the NFL; he looks like the sage old guy now,

Plus there's Cam Hayward playing with his younger bro (by 10 yrs) and the look into the tight connection between CLE-PITT.

 

After a meh episode of Shrinking last week, a good rebound this week.

Spoiler

• Fun HIMYM reunion and am intrigued what Cobie will bring to the show.
• Derek eating cake and getting yelled at on the porch by Liz in her panties … “I’m just happy.” He continues to be a highlight.

 

Wonder if the new love interest will be part of the new season or resolve quickly. Not breaking news but she’s always been a smoke show and a very good actor.

 

We finished Last Day of the Jackal. I loved it. Thought it was really compelling with no dead spots across 10 episodes. Eddie Redmayne is excellent.

Also finished the second season of Lioness. Good, didn’t think it was as good as the first season.

 

I quit watching Yellowstone years ago. I read the recap of tonight’s finale. Are people upset with the final season or did people quit watching?

 

So long What We Do In The Shadows. Loved that show. Thought the finale was more than solid.

 

I gave One Good Deed a try on Netflix, with Ray Romano, Lisa Kudrow, Luke Wilson, Linda Cardellini. Can't recommend. It did not grab me at all.

 

Bad Monkey was renewed for season 2. Hopefully, they pace the season a little better, but I will definitely watch

 

I hope it has 2x more Vince and half as many storylines.

 

Filming in SoCal not the Keys, but apparently still set there. I hope the show runners watch old episodes of Terriers to see how to pull that vibe off.

I hung in through season four. Have not seen a single ep of 5, and I don't much care.

 

Yellowstone would’ve been better advised to leave the story unresolved than to crap out those last few awful episodes after Costner quit. Dreck.

Apparently there’s going to be a Beth and Rip show. No thanks. The two most cartoonish, one-dimensional characters on the show.

I will watch the second season of 1923. I like it and I’m always happy to watch Harrison Ford and Helen Miren. That comes back in February.
