The TV thread

Has the second season of Picard started yet? I haven't seen it.

Discovery is getting better as it goes along. Season 2 was better than season 1, and Season 3 is much better than both previous seasons. I'm actually enjoying it and want to watch, instead of doing it just because I happen to be a Trek fan.

 

I'm not even sure if they've started production on the next season of Picard. I don't think it's coming until 2022, but I'm not sure.

 

AP Bio is some stupid ass bullshit but I'm not going to stop watching.

 

Steven Bauer had a big role in "Scarface." The brother or boyfriend of Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, I forget which.

 

Don’t have Showtime, had never seen Billions. But first first three seasons are now on Prime.

I’m two episodes in and totally hooked.

 

Paramount Plus is also bringing back the original cast of The Real World.

It's a great show. You will learn to hate both Axe and his 1% crew, and Chuck Rhodes and his power-hungry political ambitions. And Axe's wife might be one of top-5 unlikable TV characters of our generation.

 

I hate everyone so far. Which makes the writing so good because I love it.

 

I'd like to see that from the San Francisco one. Puck, the cartoonist, the chick who married the GOP, the late, great Pedro. That would be interesting.

 

Somewhere, there’s a commentary on the decline of western civilization intertwined with how TRW went from normal 20-somethings dealing with life’s issues to “let’s put a bunch of hotties in a mansion and let them party and fight nonstop.”

 

The cast of that show up, down and sideways is top notch. You can watch it just for the food being eaten, the cameos, the various verbal takedowns. All I needed was to see Paul Giamatti do Paul Giamatti things.

 

I'm pretty hyped for this .... looks like they might do the book justice.
