Last night's episode was hitting on all cylinders. They got some good writers. It's rounding out into a very good show, not just a decent hang, but some 'must see' shit, appropriate to the thread at hand.
The scene running over the bunny was spot-on. "Oh baby, it's still alive. We need to find a vet or something" "I don't think we owe a custodial duty to vermin." |

Anyone hyped for a Perry Mason reboot?
LA Crime, HBO, Matthew Rhys, and the good taste to put Radiohead in their trailer appropriately |

The last series I really got into, so much so that I've seen every episode (63 of them) five times. It's Six Feet Under, it was on HBO from 2001 to 2005. Look at the cast, Richard Jenkins, Peter Krause, Michael C. Hall, Freddy Rodriguez, Frances Conroy, Lauren Ambrose, Rachel Griffiths, Mathew St. Patrick and Jeremy Sisto. Even guest actors who played a few episodes became or were famous, Rainn Wilson before Dwight Schrute was Arthur, and Ben Foster was the confused friend of Claire, Lili Taylor, Joanna Cassidy, James Cromwell, Kathy Bates, Justin Theroux, Ed Begley Jr. and so many more. I think many actors would request to be on the show. I know the creator of The Office, Greg Daniels was a huge fan and that's how he found his Dwight.
It's about the Fisher family and their business, a funeral home in LA and how they go about their daily lives. I guess it could be considered a soap, but it's beyond whatever you would see on daytime TV, of course it's HBO. The show is available on HBO on-demand. Just watch the first episode, if that doesn't grab you, then don't watch anymore. |

Anybody check out Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist?
Pretty quirky show, but good humor, good musical numbers, good cast, and also hits you in the feels pretty good from time to time. Worth a watch if you're looking for something different. |

I'd sit 40 min a week to watch her surf twitter on her phone. That said, that finale scene with Billy Joel's Lullaby was devastating. Particularly when you know the creator wrote it from personal experience with his own dad passing from the same thing. Last edited by Baby Lee; 05-05-2020 at 07:07 PM.. |

The guy who plays Max (and was Jesse on Pitch Perfect) has a really good voice. I'm hoping they renew for a second season. I think they would have already if it weren't for the coronavirus uncertainties. |

I just think they've copied Daenerys Targaryen of Game of Thrones by turning Brida into a psychopathic killer. At least, she had some humanity in her before. I also didn't care for the turn of coldness in Æthelflæd toward Uhtred, after all he'd done for her when she turned his daughter over to the Danes without involving him in that decision. He always gets screwed and yet he always saves them. Plus, King Edward was such a childish, stupid king who constantly makes dumb decisions unlike his father. That includes not using Uhtred's knowledge of the Danes to help hi m win battles. In real like Edward was a more powerful king. |
