Anybody watched Archive81?  It's a creepy, occult / horror mystery series based around found footage in a hotel.  I'm about 75% of the way through, and I'm enjoying it.  It's not perfect, but I dig the atmosphere.

We've gotten into Yellowstone on Paramount+ which is pretty good, but the spinoff show 1883 is arguably better.

1883 pushes the boundaries of decency on the Oregon Trail depicting the conflict between the settlers and cowboys of the time. You do not need to watch Yellowstone (Currently in Season 4) to watch 1883.

I like both shows a lot, although I wasn't the hugest fan of Season 4.

I'm looking forward to the return of Ozark tonight.

As someone who wrote their college thesis on the American Frontier (and the role of the Western in reflecting the American social and political environment from era to era over time), I'm looking forward to seeing if 1883 is for real.

Yellowstone has gone off the deep end, IMO, like many of today's series that simply generate too many seasons and too much content for a pretty simple story line that not-too-long ago would have been delivered via motion picture or "mini series". Instead, they become diluted with silliness and repetition like a Soap Opera.

Beth, in particular, has become ridiculous. She could be featured in Zoolander or Scary Movie and not be out of place.

That said, one is left to wonder.... if Deadwood had been made today in the current climate, would they have finished it properly? My favorite show ever.

I am too as this is literally the only show that has kept my watching every moment. I heard there are 16 episodes in Season 4 and I can't wait until the conclusion.

Has anyone else here watched a show on Netflix called "DARK"? It has subtitles and is German, but it is sooooo good but also very long and intricate BUT worth it.

That was a weird, good series.  Basically, I thoroughly enjoyed it, but never really had any sort of idea of what was going on.

I know the pace probably adds to the anticipation and isolated feelings, but does it pick up? I started the first episode but it felt like it was dragging.

I'm not usually this out of the loop, but I only heard that Yellowstone existed maybe a month ago, and apparently it's a big deal?

I just finished Vikings Valhalla.  It was entertaining, but they doubled down on the Mary Sue aspect, and whatever the nickname is for unflawed male characters.

Recently watched the the Amazon version of Reacher.  The fellow who plays Reacher (not Tom Cruise) doesn't say much but he plays a tough guy who I enjoyed.  You might want to check it out.

Yeah, TP for fessing up.

Taylor Sheridan is about to own TV!

Current:  Yellowstone, 1883, Mayor of Kingstown
Future:  Four-sixes, 1932, Tulsa King, Bass Reeves, Lioness, Land Man, Fast

He already has had some hit movie's too; Sicario and Sicario: Day of the Soldado, Wind River, Without Remorse.

I also like the fact, he writes himself in for some bit parts in some of the shows.   :D

I don't want to give anything away, but the 1883 season 1 finale was spectacular!

I'm surprised that 1883 isn't getting a second season.  I suppose that 1932 is its "sequel", but I figured they'd ride the money train as long as they could, even absent a couple of characters.

LOVED the first two seasons, thought the third should’ve been broken up into 2 as it felt kinda rushed. Almost like they didn’t get renewed and needed to wrap it up. But still a really fun, mindbending show and maybe the best depiction of time travel on screen I’ve seen.

ESPN did a 30 for 30 on that topic called Once Brothers… excellent.
