So...you all got me into Dave. Two eps in. It rules. Thanks.

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.

[EdRomero]

Still getting Corncob TV?

[govmentchedda]

It's time to tell Spectrum, "NO!"

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?

Though I'm sure there's a helicopter episode on the way...

I don't know what to tell you bud, we're just shooting funerals and waiting for the ones where the bodies fly out.

OK, I'm barely two seasons in. Am I missing something? (insert laughing face that indicates I'm laughing with you and not at you)

Nah, this subthread got jacked. Hilariously so.

[blundercrush]

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.

[sancarlos]

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?

[govmentchedda]

White Lotus was good

[brian]

White Lotus was good

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

[govmentchedda]

Succession is amazing

Welcome! It really really is!

[The Sybian]

I'm watching Hacks and loving it.

[Pruitt]

Oh it's back?

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?

[serrano]

Succession is amazing

Returning in October. Huge crush on Shiv Roy. The Senate committee with Tom is so goddamn funny.

“What’s it like to be married to man with two assholes?”

She's not my normal type, but I've really got a thing for Hannah Waddingham, Rebecca from Ted Lasso.

“You know what there’s less of? Statuesque blondes.” Old Rebecca fits that bill. But if we’re talking Ted Lasso, Juno Temple is my jam.

[brian]

Ted Lasso is as great as advertised but do all Apple TV shows have as much Apple product placement? It’s almost a little distracting sometimes.

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.

[Pruitt]

Ted Lasso

[+] spoiler

This week's Nathan storyline was kind of irritating and terribly obvious.

[tennbengal]

[+] spoiler

Was it? He really wasn't redeemed. Still being an ass at the end of the episode.

[serrano]

[+] spoiler

they’re really drawing out the Nate storyline, but I feel like there hasn’t been much progression for his character. I know there’s 3 more episodes to do something but I feel like this story is a little constipated.

[A_B]

[+] spoiler

I think maybe the actor isn’t really up to the task personally.

[Pruitt]

My daughter and I just had this discussion.

[+] spoiler

May also be a matter of having too many characters to follow? Nathan seems like a complete asshole - the only mitigating factor is that his father is cold.

[A_B]

[+] spoiler

He isn’t a totalnassholenthats just a pivot they’re trying to make this year. Plus the friction with Roy just strolling in to coach.

[Shirley]

[+] spoiler

Yeah, I'm liking the Nate storyline. He's a guy who has never had respect and then when he got it all the sudden, he didn't really know how to handle it and he took to modeling most of the "leaders" he's seen, including his father. Bad fathers is definitely a theme of the show. And this season has been kind of short of interesting multi-episode storylines (why did they just drop the sponsor issue?), so I think this one is important.

[A_B]

Those are good points. I trust them to tie it up.

[serrano]

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.

[Rush2112]

Sudeikis and others have been dropping that this is the "Empire Strikes Back" season.

[+] spoiler

and I think Nate's sort of BS confession prior to the Man City game might lead to his shitting on the other coaches later.

[Nonlinear FC]

[+] spoiler

Just to hit it a little more squarely on the head, almost the entire first season was Nate getting shoved in clothes bins and shit upon. Being bullied for that long fucks you up. So, I'm willing to give the guy a little room to figure out what it's like having a little power in the locker room.

[Pruitt]

[+] spoiler

Gotta say - the last episode grated on my nerves. Tartt's drunken father ranting in the dressing room? Ted leaving the locker room to call the Psychiatrist when his team needed some kind of leadership was odd. And the big reveal about Ted's father was irritating. And the whole Sam and Rebecca thing screams "contrived plot device," a way to keep the featured players involved.

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

[wlu_lax6]

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.

[+] spoiler

The next episode is apparently all about Beard's walk about in London after the loss.

[Rush2112]

I hope that spoiler is true Wlu.
