The Television Streaming Thread: Part II - Hot Takes, Jags Fans, and Bert

I think also in the context of someone going in cold, it’s fair to tell someone that they should give season one a shot, but if they don’t like it, see if the round in the season two chamber fires.

This sounds eerily familiar to the scam the Dark Tower fans ran on me.

It’s not a scam if they’re all just different iterations of the Dark Tower.

The man in black fled across the desert, and the regional manager followed.

Murdaugh

I don’t understand why he was making all those payments to the drug dealer before murdering his wife/son. I don’t understand why he murdered his wife/son unless it was a crime of passion. If he had stolen millions, why was he not paying bills? If he decided to murder his wife/son, why did he still want the other son to get a life insurance payout?

It is finally here…

Hulu isn’t releasing all of the Wrexham episodes at once :stabby:

Hope this means they have regrets about their binge-drop of The Bear S2.

Finished binging through Wrestlers and thoroughly enjoyed it. A few notes while avoiding spoilers

  1. Been to two OVW matches, the first was Acura @ Pontiac, but it wasn’t the time they were filming here.
  2. The second was outside of KSBar.

Speaking of KSBar they had an amazing gig where Ryan Lemond had 5 putts from 5 feet. Each putt he made was $200, each putt he missed was two days in KSJail…he missed all 5. I did visit him during that stay. Also $1000 ended up being donated to charity anyway

  1. Matt Jones said towards the end of the date, UK assistant coach Vince Marrow sat down and started finishing off his meal. I get why this was cut since it didn’t really add anything, but if there is a blooper real…

  2. Craig Greenberg the other coowner of OVW does have a hell of a story. You see him in early episodes wearing Greenberg for Mayor. Well not only he won Louisville mayor, he also survived an attempted assassination attempt. But needless to say, wikipedia it, but it is easy to see why Wrestlers didn’t touch it.

  4. Spoilering this since this does come in to effect for the last episode. But they show 1 minute of this 19 minute KSR interview segment. This 19 minute segment is just pure gold

One the best “surprise ending” reveals that isn’t just trite and boring, IMO.

the ending was perfect, was hidden enough to shock the people like me who suck at watching tv but it actually made perfect sense with the rest of the show and someone who is better at picking up on clues could have definitely sniffed it out. i rarely rewatch shows but i’m going to just to see all the things i missed the first time.

This Time with Alan Partridge season 2 is the perfect television program. everything about it is exactly what i need

Skipped like 800 posts, so may have missed.

This thread convinced me to go back and try and watch six fee under all the way through. I can’t remember where I got to, maybe 3 seasons.

Coming at it much older, I’m getting a lot more out of it.

Season 1. Episode 6. The room. It’s a masterpiece.

this is the one where Nikolai appears and hits on Ruth. But that’s just one part of it. It’s like this incredibly layered commentary on sex and passion, love and aging. Ruth reminiscing about making love like demons while talking to her grown son whilst cleaning spoons… fucking genius.

Super pumped for the whole show now.

Watching it with Mrs Rugby as well, who’s never seen it, which is increasing the enjoyment.

That’s awesome. For me, rewatching the show is great even when it’s less than perfect because I know it’s all priming me for the omg payoff of the series finale and that Sia song.

I have not seen the finale and haven’t been spoilered. Hearing how awesome it is was part of the motivation for trying again.
