Some oars or a motor on the boat might be helpful.
On ep4 and the Breaking Bad comparison has become even stronger as the show has continued. The antagonist also makes this excellent for fans of gangster movies/shows.
Critics have not been kind to Your Honor so far, but it’s perfect if you are a fan of characters embracing a dark path in order to take decisive action and survive a sudden catastrophe.
Art and voice acting are pretty great; I’m surprised you haven’t caught it yet bc it seems in your wheelhouse.

You’re right, it’s just that the animated movies got very repetitive for a while. I trust your recommendation unless you’re wrong.
New one on HBO Max is billed as A Death in the Family but is a collection of short films with this one among several.
I only watched ADitF, and it was excellent. It continues past the death of Jason Todd to retell the origin of the reborn Red Hood, which was already done superbly in the Red Hood animated movie. This one goes over similar story beats but always feels fresh and worth rediscovering.
Freaks (Netflix)
Kept locked inside the house by her father, 7-year-old Chloe lives in fear and fascination of the outside world. It’s a place where Abnormals are a constant threat – or so she believes. But when a mysterious stranger offers her a glimpse of what’s really happening, Chloe soon learns that the truth isn’t so simple – but the danger is very real.
Freaks walks the very edge between horror and thriller. The best way to describe this is as a spiritual sequel to Unbreakable/Glass. It is everything you like about Shyamalan and none of the stuff you hate. Each twist will have you racing to outsmart the movie and figure out the very nature of what you’re seeing.
Bonus: the detective is played by Grace Park from Battlestar: Galactica, the father is played by Emile Hirsch from Into the Wild

About to go watch this right now. If it is too much of the wrong kind of horror I probably won’t like it. BUT…

I couldn’t get through S1 of this. I quit after ep 4 then read the rest of the plot in recaps. The script of this thing is terrible, complete with a gaping maw of a plot hole which made me go “wat” when I read the recaps, I then googled for info and found a bunch of “hey anyone notice this gaping plot hole” stuff. Bill Pullman is an awful actor who plays every scene the same way regardless of context or motivation. Definitely no ragrets about consigning this to the dump.

Wow.
You and I have such different tastes. Much appreciated when you offer a view into a POV so different than my own 
Started watching Unknown and Liam Neeson is in Berlin and someone asks him “Are you English?” and he says “No I’m American”.
Me: “You are Irish wth”

but why
I didn’t see season 3. What was so bad about it?
Season One of “Ramy” on Hulu was really good. I’m now in the middle of Season Two and it’s gone completely off the rails. Reminds me of “Togetherness” on HBO - at some point the creators were like “oh shit we never expected to get this far” and just started throwing shit against the wall.
Because it was there.
Ah, bummer. We made it through 8/10 I think of the season 1 episodes and I wanted to pick it back up but Mrs. C hasn’t been all that interested. Was really interested to see Mahershala Ali in season 2.
but why was it there
