The TV thread

They used fucking beepers...

Sheeiiiiiitttttt.....

 

OK, this may nudge me over the top. I really didn't have much of a desire to revisit it after season 1, but I have all the time in the world, so maybe I'll get back into it.

 

The acting is amazing and then Garner and her sig other are at another level.

This is better than the Sopranos in its prime.

 

Ozark’s season three fucking delivered. Dark as hell. We finished it up last night.

We just got Disney+ and watched the first Mandalorian episode. I reckon we’ll stick with it.

 

You will either love yourself or hate yourself for getting invested in The Mandalorian.

 

The season finale of "The Good Doctor" was excellent.

The idea of a doctor/surgeon who is autistic stretches the bounds of imagination (for me, at least), but damn, this show is good -- one of the few (on network TV, even!) that, every time I watch an episode, and it comes to an end, I invariably wish that it wasn't over.

The acting is good, the relationships between characters have depth and nuance, and the medical cases are interesting and make you care about the victims.

 

Intriguing. If the shows are all in the 30-minute range, I’ll give it a go. For a while, anyway.

 

I may have to find it and binge it someday, just because Richard Schiff is part of the cast.

 

Why would anybody hate themselves for getting invested in The Mandalorian? Toddler Yoda alone is worth the watch.

 

I adore me some Toddler Yoda. And you're right, s/he's a toddler, not a baby. His "Bye, bitches!" expression when IG-11 rescued him and his exchange with Carl Weathers in the season finale were two of the best moments in a great series.

Some people have gotten burned out on the little guy. It's probably Star Wars faithful who are also done with Porgs, Ewoks, 'droids, etc. John Boyega had the best last word on Porgs: "You say you think they're cute, but if you walked into the kitchen one morning and saw a porg, you'd be on the phone with pest control."

I was never particularly enamored with Porgs in the first place. They were pretty much useless, cutesy things put there to market the movie to children.

Toddler Yoda is adorable, but he's also a bad ass.

 

I watched the Mandalorian before hearing the first thing about a Baby Yoda. Trust me, that was an amazing moment to see that green head pop up at the end of the first episode.
