Television (no longer temporary)

[phxgators]

Catching up on The Bear, got through Eps 6 and 7 over the weekend.

[+] spoiler

Ep 7 almost makes me want to become a chef. But of all the jobs in that episode, the one I'd really want is the one of the woman running the kitchen. The organization/efficiency really spoke to my inner Program Manger.

Ha, put me in that role and everything falls apart within minutes.

I actually think I would get someone killed... somehow?... If I got put in that role.

My wife did call me a psychopath when I said that out loud...

Really enjoying the Justified revival so far. Between this and Indy 5 and me finally watching Logan (because of this and Indy 5) and Sandman last year Boyd Holbrook is having a moment.

[+] spoiler

I've found the daughter to be Hallmark-cringey...And Boyd Holbrook aint no Walton Goggins.

I'll stick it out cuz Timothy Olyphant, but the writing doesn't feel like it's up to snuff.

At least it's cool to see Victor Williams on the screen again.

Biggest question, is Natalie Zea in the reboot?

Apparently not. I understand this is only an eight episode story, and she's not listed on IMDB.

Unfortunately she is not.

I 100% agree with Enoch’s take.

She's Olyphant's real-life daughter, which I can only assume didn't hurt getting him back under the hat.

Goggins is a pretty high standard to hold anyone to, and it took Boyd Crowder a while to become Boyd Crowder (longer than I'm assume Mansell will get). He has been mostly "whoa this guy is a psycho" with no depth so far, but the dude can pull off a kimono.

I've enjoyed most of the setup they've done so far tossing everything into the pot and then upping it with the Albanian mafia. Hoping the resolution works.

I'd love to be proven wrong (and it won't be the first time). Like I said, I'm in it for Olyphant.

So I'm finally getting around to watching Outlander (first 6 seasons are on Netflix).

S1:E2 Annette Badland - the bartender in Ted Lasso - is the matriarch in Castle Leoch.

Rudest possibility for that “IMDB” acronym in that context - GO!

[rass]

My version is probably gonna start with “insert” and end with “Blake”, BTW.

Can we use "in" and not have it count as a letter? If so, you set up a really easy one.

One of the cool features about stuff that shows up on Prime is that you can pause it and whoever is in that scene pops up with a bio.

[Giff]

Oh nice, will have to check that out.

[The Sybian]

It also gives info on the music playing in the scene.

Love that, can’t understand why no one else does it.

Exactly. I regularly find myself pausing shows on other channels futilely looking for info about who's on screen.

[govmentchedda]

Because Amazon can sell things because of it, and others can't.

Just last night I tried to see if Peacock had a similar function.

Watched the first two episodes of Killing It with Craig Robinson. It's quirky and weird, but I'm enjoying it. The Australian woman is supposed to be annoying AF, but I could see her pushing it over the line and making the show annoying.

Also halfway through Mrs. Davis. Another weird show I'm enjoying. Gotta love Betty Gilpin.

Season 2 of Good Omens was really good, but...

[+] spoiler

Ends on a bit of a cliffhanger, and there's a question as to whether the show is coming back.

[sancarlos]

We’ve been watching an Australian show on Netflix called Fisk. Pretty damned funny.

You lawyers might like it, as much of it takes place in a law office.

We’ve also been enjoying the 4th (and final) season of Breeders on FX/Hulu. Martin Freeman is great.

Direct TV has a patent on how to do this via more traditional TV (how to send meta data with the tv show).

Where the hell have I been re: Patriot?

Two episodes in and this is freakin amazing.

It’s an awesome show.

Sucks the only way to own those Michael Dorman tunes is to buy them via Amazon. But you're right - that show is probably top ten all time for me, and half of the reason is you never get tired of Dorman's expressiveness. He exudes exhaustion. And he comes off like his heart rate is what, 40 bpm?

Definitely.

We're starting up Lodge 49 tonight. We'll shuttle back and forth over the next several days until I wrap up S2 of Patriot.

How To With John Wilson has to be one of my favourite shows ever. I have never not laughed during an episode.

It's such a unique show. I love how he is willing to let the episodes go completely off course when something more interesting happens. I also find myself wondering how many hours of weird footage he has on file to flash something hilarious that matches in a strange way to what he is saying.

I don’t think they ever quite made the jump to tie everything together and as much as I liked Holbrook’s performance not sure if his character wasn’t the weak link* as you suggested as they just tried to get by on his charisma or whatever but seeing Raylan again was awesome and there were some good work done by other actors and some laughs and the ending scenes were a lot of fun and this is great:

So why did Mansell not pull on Raylan? Did he change his mind after realizing Raylan came back to let him out? Not sure if I missed something subtle there, like he switched pockets?

TIL I went to community college for two years with Lance Barber of Its Always Sunny (Bill Ponderosa) and Young Sheldon (Sheldon’s dad) fame. He also went to the crosstown high school and graduated HS the same year. Honestly we have so few famous or even semi-famous people from my goofy town I’m surprised I had no idea.

Enjoying season 2 of winning time. Fat Jay Mohr playing an agent. Brody as Pat Riley. Seagal...I understand why they did not let Will Ferrell in on this and it was the right call.
