What are you watching since COVID19 shut down live sports?

Rewatched Sent of a Woman yesterday.

For some reason I did not remember the movie.

Pacino is in Full Pacino mode the entire film.

I felt for Charlie's character for being placed in a situation that was created by no fault of his own.

The Matrix series has become one of my fallbacks. Everytime I watch it I see something new or hear something that gives me an "aha" moment.

If you are into zombie flicks, I binged both seasons of Kingdom on Netflix. It's set in sword-wielding kingdom days, but it was surprisingly good visually and had a decent plot.

Have you seen Banshee? I think it may have originally aired on Cinemax or Starz. He plays a good role in that.

Good actor

That’s a good show by the way. By no means a deep thinking type show, but an entertaining time killer.

Did that have a lot of T&A? Seem to remember watching an episode or so. Did it involve mercenaries and clandestine operations on foreign soil?

Just finished Season 1 of Cheer. About Navarro College. Impressive athleticism and similar production to Last Chance U but I do have to wonder about national championships when there’s only two teams competing (unless the show totally skipped over some qualifying competitions)

The son of two of my clients would have been on that show but he tore his meniscus just before they started filming. Dude is 100% into cheer and very good. Surprisingly straight, too.

That Ozark season-ending episode was top notch.

The second to last episode is what sticks out to me. The brother (actual, not black FBI guy)...wow....what a performance.

Really getting into Atlanta. Earn and Paper Boi are dope, yo.

I was actually getting a little annoyed at it/him and his behavior, but definitely well acted.

take a different tact with a question for this group

what series started out really promising and then flamed out badly to your disappointment?

for me it is goliath with billy bob thornton.

first year was really solid thought there were a first weak spots to me, but it went to crap quickly and i never made it through the middle of year 2

I'm only on the first season. I can see it being drawn out, much like Silicon Valley.

The Juneteenth episode had me rolling.

I guess I'm in minority, but I thought Ozark was ridiculous. The brother character was just brutal

Goliath went to crap when they got to the trial in season 1. Was great until then and I was anticipating some great courtroom drama from Billy Bob, but it fizzled and lasted about two scenes. Huge let down.

agree, the showdown they spent all season building to was just so poorly written almost as if they have 90% of the season written and just couldn't come up with an ending.

Walking dead became garbage and finally lost me. I heard it got good again though

I refuse to watch that show with hardly anyone left. Walk around, find random group, battle group, main people die, walk around again, season ends.

Yeah, it got good again after a few rough seasons. Their current story line is about played out and it appears that they're pivoting towards a new arc.

Still catching up on Sports Illustrated documentaries.

yeah, why on earth would straight guys want to hang around cheerleaders several hours a day.

I watched all three seasons of Goliath.

I liked them all, but first season was outstanding.

Money Heist on Netflix is pretty good. Spanish actors, so you won’t recognize anyone, which I kinda liked. It’s funny, though...the English dubbing and the English subtitles are remarkably different. I’d prefer just subtitles, but that doesn’t seem to be an option.
