TV Streaming series to talk about.

No. I just watched the second episode of the first season last night. My husband doesn’t like binge watching or even more than one episode a week and no more than one drama show at a time (so finish one show before starting a new one). So if we watch something together, we poke along one episode of one show per week.

I'm so sorry. :D

I love Binge watching. I throw a little hyperbolic fit when I have to wait a week for the next episode.

The Pitt killed me. It was far too good to make us wait a week for each episode.

Funny that you mention Alan Moore and swamps in the same post, his revival of Swamp Thing was one of my most pleasant comics reading experiences ever. Used to pick up the new monthly issues at Sutton's and then get high and read it several times. I'd been reading and collecting comics since I was a kid (I bought the issue of The Hulk in which Wolverine was introduced off the rack - still have it, but it's in rough shape), but the artwork and writing of Moore's Swamp Thing blew my mind. I've enjoyed pretty much everything I read by him since then..

My first exposure to Alan Moore's writing was from 90s Image comics: his guest turn on Spawn and the aborted series 1963, which I did not have the perspective to understand. But then I searched through back-issue bins to pick up Watchmen and his Swamp Thing run. I can still remember blanching at the scope of Swamp Thing #50 and what then struck me as the audacity of a comic book that did not resolve its story with men in underwear kissing each other with their fists.

Real talk: The Penguin is my favorite member of Batman's Rogue gallery. I quit on Penguin three episodes in. It was Falcone's story superimposed on The Penguin, rather than a story about The Penguin. It was a fine story, but the wrong character. The Penguin should never be a bruiser.

Yeah, I didn’t buy the Penguin in that context either.

I've read that one 50 times if I've read it once. It holds up to the best literature I've ever read, esp. in light of the fact that it was the culmination of a 2+ years buildup. Masterful...
 
Don't trust NetFlix.

Last two movies we have watched were both listed as the number one movie in the US. Ok, maybe people just have bad taste.

But, both basically sucked. At least iHostage was based on a true story, but it was long, slow, boring, and the ending...

Then there's Exterritorial. The lead is pretty nice to look at, but the plot, really?
 
I have pushed the time-for-TV chips all in for Your Friends and Neighbors. At first I was getting tired of some too-cute, almost sitcom type dialogue and narration, but I've gotten used to it, and the sharp observations of the Rich and Meaningless are really on-target. Hope they have a plan for the overall story path, but so far it really keeps your interest.

I'm on season 2 of Better Call Saul. When does it get good?

It is a show that gets progressively better through the seasons, but if you’re not liking it as of season 2, I’m not sure it’s worth it for you to keep going. But the subsequent seasons are better than the first two (but I also liked it all, and as a whole thought it was a fantastic series).
 
I have no idea when these two show on Apple arrived but both have solid writing and acting: dope Thief and Presumed Innocent (with Jake Gyllenhaal

I think the acting is great, and I think the story will end up being great, but it is so slow in getting there.
