This is 50 mins but very entertaining. We know the guy doing the interviewing.
I think Succession and Six Feet Under have the advantage because they finished their run and are renowned for maintaining high quality all the way to the end.
Itās hard to overstate just how satisfying the series finale for Six Feet Under is. Itās the standard by which I canāt help but compare every other series finale.
White Lotus I think can be seen with each season as its own thing, but thereās definite overlap between the two seasons, so itās hard to know until itās over just how interconnected the whole thing will turn out to be. Would not hate you for starting there though as the first season in particular was a home run.

the young pope is a show thatās a lot like twin peaks the return in that an expert filmmaker took a story and some stylistic ideas and instead of squeezing it into 3 acts and 2 hours and locking in a guaranteed oscar, we get to see him play around and let things linger and we get like 9 whole hours of beautiful cinematography and vibes.
Lots of good stuff said already. For things that havenāt been said yet, Iāll throw out The Night Of as a recommendation.
Also +1ing Watchmen.

+1 to The Night Of. Perfect for scratching that Serial itch. The first episode in particular sets up all kinds of evidence staging thatās just a delicious flavor of foreshadowing witbout actually letting you know how those things will become important.

The Doctor seems to get kicked around the streaming services in Canada.
Watched the first episode of Blue Eye Samurai last night. I thought it was great, and my wife also liked it, even though she normally gets turned off by graphic violence.
It did leave me with a question about genetics, though. Since blue eyes are a recessive trait it wouldnāt be enough for the main characterās father to be white. The mother would have to at least be mixed race to some degree as well. Maybe this is addressed later.
I donāt think it addresses it, just let it go nerd

Watching Escaping Twin Flames on Netflix and itās interesting because I donāt think Iāve seen too many cults be conducted nearly completely online and having everything recorded. It makes for a lot of very uneasy viewing when in the video a couple is supposed to be excited and happy and the voice over is like 'we werenāt talking to each other at all".

I didnāt see the one on Netflix, I saw the earlier documentary on Amazon. Ugh I felt for the people who were or still are stuck in it.
2 takes. First, Iām on team GoT seasons 6-8 werenāt bad. I thoroughly enjoyed the series up to the final 2 episodes and then justā¦ ugh.
Second, I could probably just have the wire on all the time. Iām just finishing a rewatch myself and I think itās probably my #1 show of all time. I agree S5 drags a bit, and Iām glad they shortened it. Itās still really good though, just a few things I didnāt like:
I thought the newspaper B story was blah. The show is at its best when its just cops vs drug dealers on the street.
I 100% hated how they ended Omar. It felt super rushed. I get that you had to get him out of the way to set up the cops vs Marlo showdown, but that was just lazy.
I do think the serial killer subplot got a bit out of hand and sharkjumpy even by McNulty standards, but it was still funny as hell.

Maybe she is. The world is an interesting place.
Would be an amazing second season plot twist.
I kind of wish this scene had zero connective tissue afterward in the series, because I think it would be most beautiful as a stand-alone piece of brutality.

Patrick Warburton and Rob Riggle too. Wtf is going on?
He has been digging himself out of a financial hole for a while and it is known heāll do anything that pays his quote.
Warburton doesnāt work that much. I bet Riggle drops out.

Warburton is a right-winger. He blends better as a normie than many of them, but his politics are known.
