Peaky Blinders anyone?

Fantastic show.   A bit of shame they take so long in production, though.

Final season of Clone Wars has been fantastic so far.

I've really enjoyed the Ashoka story line.  She deserves her own spin-off movie as far as I am concerned.


Ok, as a huge SW nerd, I am wondering if I should renew disney just to check out these new clone wars episodes?  I canceled after the Mando final (which was great).

I guess it depends on how much money you want to spend to see it now vs waiting until season 2 of the Mandalorian comes out.

I did just read Rosario Dawson is supposed to be playing Ashoka in season 2, which is awesome.  Which probably means I'll have to start paying for Disney+ at some point since by the time season 2 comes out my year free (via Verizon) will have expired by then.

The most recent episode was really good. It and the final episodes will probably be put together and made into a Clone Wars Darth Maul/Ashoka movie. Having said that, the first 7-8 episodes were just ok, IMO.

Just finished Picard.

Have you ever wanted to watch Patrick Stewart act in a Mass Effect film, except with a less likable crew?

That’s this series.  Seeing Stewart in the role again is great in a nostalgic sort of a way, but to me this wasn’t particularly compelling.

I think every gamer out there agrees with you two.  Two absolute classics followed by complete crud.

The "McMillion$" documentary on HBO Go is pretty awesome.  It's free right now without a sub.  The McDonalds monopoly game scam.

Have you finished the whole thing?

I thought the 1st episode was good.  After that everything felt really drawn out and boring.  I wrote a couple of pages back that to me it felt like it would have been a great 90  min documentary, but instead decided to stretch it to 6 hours.  Did you think the whole thing was good?

After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class

I'm on episode 4.  I'm sure it could've been compressed but I'm just really digging the story & the intrigue.   It's drawn me in.

I think it's a great story, but the series doesn't do it justice. I think the filmmakers fell in love with some of the personalities and revealed things backwards in some cases by having those personalities explain things instead of making them big reveals or plot twists. I feel like it's telling the story vs. showing the story.

I've found the Disney+, ESPN+ and Hulu bundle to be a good deal for me. I think it's like $13ish/month.

So it turns out when Jim Croce wrote that song about Leroy Brown it was actually about Uthred Ragnarsson of Bebbanbure.

Just my two cents, but I'm hard pressed to think of a better program on Netflix right now than The Last Kingdom.  Every  season has delivered.  Honestly, I think it actually might be better than Game of Thrones.

Hmm, sounds interesting. Game of Thrones is dead to me after season 8, so getting something similar and good may help me wash the bad taste out of my mouth.

You’ll probably love The Last Kingdom! I like it more than Vikings. Less fantasy elements than GoT but similar gritty medieval storytelling
