The TV thread

Hearing good things about Reservation Dogs. Anyone recommend?

 

In seaon 3....the raspy biker dude will he replaced by ChrisLong

 

Enjoyed the first season. Haven’t watched more, but should.

 

If you liked Letterkenny, you'll like Reservation Dogs. I enjoy both series. The latter is like someone read Kinsella and Sherman and ran it through a South Park filter. Not for the overly sensitive or anyone who clutches their pearls at the rough reality of the culture of poverty.

The White Room thing. I'm going to own it and admit I laughed out loud at Steve Martin's version of going there. Anyone who is an introvert at heart (many performers and that probably includes both Martin and his OMitB Id) know the torture of having to perform material that is, at best, bad if not downright demeaning.

As someone who attended drama school with an eye toward being a playwright and dramaturg, I get this. Acting classes could be fun but they could also be painful. A classmate went to the white room and was reduced to screaming "Fuck me! Fuck me! Fuck me!" over and over instead of the monologue from a Beth Henley play they were supposed to be presenting. So I laugh but at the same time, I feel a lot of sympathy.

I will also admit that there are very few people I would jump the fence for, but Jane Lynch is one of those people strictly on the basis of the characters she plays.

 

Can confirm.

 

So explain to me the end of season 2.

He's on the venice beach boardwalk. He hears the surf and a guy playing guitar.. and somehow deduces that the call from the ex husband, supposedly from ensenada, was fake?

 

He heard the same music from the phone call at the Venice boardwalk, so the fake guy was in Venice at the time of the call.

 

Okay, thanks.

 

Finished the second season of Hunters on Prime. And I assume it’s the final season the way it played out.

It’s well done. The time jumps got a bit cumbersome but they had to do it. Spoiler to say why if you haven’t seen either season and plan to watch.

The final episode has a ton of parallels to current events. Perhaps too much on the nose.

Anyway, I enjoyed it.

 

The "break-up" of Yellowstone bugs me. How does Paramount not have Costner locked up to at least complete the first five years? What a mess.

 

He's Costner. He never would have signed a five-year commitment in the first place, unless they gave him something insane like $100m a season. (He's already at like $25m or so.)

 

Real Sports With Bryant Gumbel Cancelled: No Season 30 for HBO Series – TVLine

This is a show I always meant to watch more then I did. It had a knack for making stories I didn't think I'd be interested in compelling.
