Re: Television (no longer temporary)
We just reduced ad-free Peacock to ad-full, and then brought on AcornTV.
Aside from the fact we can now tap that Republic of Doyle vein again, I must say that I'm embarrassed I'd never seen Murdoch's Mysteries before now.
Granted, it is a procedural cop drama, but it's historical fiction. 1890s Toronto.
It doesn't take itself too seriously, but it does like to stick to scientific fact. I like it. And there's a crap-ton of episodes to plow through.

It's good stock. Dunno how else to describe it. It does make me wonder though...How many times would they need to reshoot an outdoors chase scene if say, a helicopter got in the way?Steve of phpBB wrote: ↑Fri Aug 27, 2021 7:48 pmMy wife loves that show.

If you are a big MCU nerd and you watched the first episode of What If and decided it was pretty meh, the next couple are not just "swap 2 characters and rewatch an existing movie"
*I kind of hope this is a bunch of test pilots and if one of them hits, we get a fleshed out show about it.

Re: Television (no longer temporary)
I usually barely look at bills that are on auto-pay, but I looked at my AT&T bill to ensure they quit charging me for DirecTV. (I recently cut the cord!) I noticed a blurb that said that HBO Max is included with my AT&T internet plan. I didn't even know.
So, now, I'm going to binge The Other Two (we watched season one on TBS, but didn't have access to season two, since it moved to HBO Max.)
What other HBO Max shows should I check out, now?

Agree. The Flight Attendant and Made For Love are decent. Did you see Chernobyl back when you had cable? That was great.

Awesome.
Also - anyone watching the new season of Brooklyn 9-9?
We have the episodes recorded, but I remember being bored with the last season. Worth watching?

Re: Television (no longer temporary)
For the record, I'm not crazy. Brian Grubb mentioned the Apple product placement in Ted Lasso (and The Morning Show) in his weekly rundown.
It's only a little distracting and if it keeps the show(s) on the air, so be it.

Re: Television (no longer temporary)
My only note for the Ted Lasso writers is that when Roy Kent asks Phoebe if he can be the dragon, the response should have been “Fuck no” instead of just “no”.
Also, Mike Dean. Wow. Made the episode all about himself.

Still a good show, but on a bit of a dry patch.

Re: Television (no longer temporary)
They have a hard job of writing a sports-based show that does not get sucked into the typical genre's of sports-based tv shows. Especially as the underdog team. So they have to find stories outside of the show. Nate is interesting character.
