Your opinion of "positive" in the show may vary. Comedy about a married hit man who is in/entering middle age and losing his physical edge.

Does it eliminate the negative?

It has eliminated some negatives in the first couple episodes. Something to keep an eye on in the future, I suppose.

These guys just aren’t getting it, Chedd.

Oh, I know I'm not getting it.

Here’s the reference, used as the opening credits for a truly great movie.

I got it. But I also loved Dsafe tweeting through it.

With the mystery (to me) unveiled, I don't feel bad about not getting it. I also am pleased to have created enjoyment for others.

Baby Billy Freeman is already one of the great all-time TV characters. Walton Goggins is some kind of genius.

He is great although it's hard not to see any character he does as a version of Boyd Crowder from Justified.

The first episode of the new sitcom he's in, The Unicorn, wasn't terrible...I'm giving it a couple more episodes before I decide if I'm sticking with it. Although I do think he's better when he does more outlandish characters.

It seems like an odd choice for a guy who has legit star power.

the new Diego Maradona movie that premiers tomorrow on HBO is getting really good reviews from the soccer press.

Just listened to Rog interview the director on Men in Blazers. It sounds amazing. Apparently, Maradona had guys with cameras follow him everywhere off field during his career. He fired his publicist, the film crew never got paid, so they kept the tapes, which recently surfaced.

Rog makes everything sound amazing, but I've heard great things about this doc.

True, but after watching Fauda due to his recommendation/interview with the creator/lead actor, I'll watch anything Rog hypes.

Seriously. Fuck.

Circling back:

1. Succession is still the tits.

2. Righteous Gemstones has ended up being pretty fucking awesome as well.

Gemstones did a great job building to this season finale.

The opening five minutes from Sunday was unreal.

Is there a better line delivery by a SNL actor, while breaking character and laughing, than “by the way, it’s official.....I can’t have children”?

Anyone else watch Ken Burns' Country Music? It took me awhile to finish, but it was really good. I think I like Burns best when it's about a topic I know nothing about.

I've made it through the first episode, but dang, 16 hours is a lot! And you did it in less than a month!

Red Sox sucking this year certainly helped. I'm way behind on other shows now. Not easy.

I've been watching it. I still have a couple more episodes on the dvr to watch, but I've really loved it. I think it is one of the best ones Burns has done.

I've been watching it online, mainly when making dinner or something (through 3 episodes so far). And I'm really enjoying it so far. Loved the story about Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs leaving Bill Monroe's band, and them not talking to each other for 25 years.

And also have to mention the real star of the show...Marty Stuart's hair!

Marty Stuart has (had?) a weekly tv show on RFD network. About as folksy and down home as is possible. My father watches that channel regularly.

That hair is something to behold. I saw it in person awhile back. Last spring I went and saw Chris Hillman and Roger McGuinn and band play the Byrds' Sweetheart of the Rodeo album. Marty Stuart and the Fabulous Superlatives were their backup band, and Marty sang a few songs as well.

Just finished the 3rd episode...mostly about Hank Williams. I had no idea that he'd died so young. Talk about hard living....

Genius.

El Camino was absolutely perfect.

Succession season 2 was tremendous start to finish.

You can’t make a Tomellette without breaking a few Greegs.

Seconded. The season finale was tremendous. I’m going to have a hard time waiting for season 3.

For certain.

Turns out Ken is both an accidental and intentional killer.

Also, bonus points to Tom for stating his feelings to Shiv finally and then eating Logan’s chicken.

Did Shiv launch the Kendall strike against Logan with Kendall or was that all Kendall?

I think it was all Kendall...he spent all season being pushed around his only options were to either end his own life or do what he did.

I'm more curious about what it was that got Greg and Kendall to finally talk in order to get Greg to fess up to having the documents.

Well...that's why I asked if Shiv was in on it with Kendall. Because that's the conduit - she tells Kendall what she knows from Tom about the situation etc.

Spoiler mutherfuckers!

Letterkenny season 7, good..perhaps not as strong as past seasons, but some quality 'skits.'

I've been watching The Good Place from the beginning and am a fan, but gotta say, four episodes in and this season is kind of bad.

I trust the show enough to stick with it and think that it will get better, but the last two episodes were not good at all.
