I am currently watching The Sinner on Netflix. Bill Pullman stars as a detective who gets involved in murder cases that involve a “tortured soul”. Lots of psychological intrigue as the motivation of the murderer is slowly revealed.
There are four seasons, with one case per season. I am currently in season two, and I really love this series.
One season of six episodes of about one hour each. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Set in 1980’s NYC and viscerally shows the underbelly of the city in that difficult period. Very ambitious series but great drama. Benedict Cumberbatch is awesome in the main character’s role but he is always great.
OK, finished up “Archer.” Still holds up. Helps to know what they are parodying, and the extremely obscure references might have you down a wiki rabbit hole should you need more information.
Starting up MAS*H. Three episodes in, don’t remember too much about these.
There were a lot of uncomfortable moments to watch. I would say the part of the story I was most interested in finding out was what happened to Perry. It reminds me of playing video games, and you get a game over saying: “Time Paradox.”
Watched season 3 of The Outlaws on Amazon. Only 5 episodes. More hijinks and they wrapped everything up nicely. Bummer Christopher Walken couldn’t be more involved in season 3. He was hilarious in the first 2 seasons. He has a brief cameo, but I think he wasn’t in the main story due to the strike.
Saw first ep of season 3. They got beat by a team just relegated. So, probably one of the best teams in the league.
Wondering what players they procure before first transfer deadline.
If you are going to watch Star Wars: The Acolyte, I recommend watching episode 7 first and then watch the rest in order starting at #1.
The first 6 episodes involve a very tired storytelling trope to not tell the audience what the initial set ups of the characters are. Instead, they make you watch 6 eps forcing you to not understand what the hell is going on, because episode 7 is going to be a huge flash back that explains s#!t.
Just watch #7 first, then 1,2,3,4,5,6, and 8. Don’t fall into the trap of the producers, who made us wait 2 months to understand the story because their non explaining things was their only shot at building anticipation.
These directors and editors are not Quentin Tarantino, who has the talent to tell an interesting story non-chronologically.
