Caught the Last Kingdom.

Pretty damn good. Decent Violence. A lot going on, but didn't get wonky - other than the main character ****ing everything with an axe wound, so it kind of diluted the whole love thing.

Definitely pick it up if you are into medieval genre flicks.

Amazon TV has a pretty decent show they put together called "Goliath" which you may find entertaining.

Billy Bob Thornton is the lawyer. Co-stars are William Hurt, Maria Bello, Molly Parker.

Pretty good. If you like Billy Bob you'll enjoy this show.

I enjoyed that show as well, but are we sure there is going to be a season 2? I honestly can't tell who is the good guys... it's as if they are all bad lol

Heh. Yeah. I don't know if there is going to be a Season 2. I doubt there is much historical accuracy there, but nobody really being a good guy is about like life, in general. If there isn't a season 2, it'll be OK, it ended fine.

I watched Penny Dreadful. I am not really into horror flicks much. But the production looked good and Eva Green is my weakness.

Like a lot of Horror, there is some wonky writing, but it overcomes it, largely, and most of the story lines are pretty compelling. The exception is Dorian Gray. He is completely useless in the story and takes up a lot of screentime. His character is pretty well acted, but it doesn't advance the storyline.

Frankenstein's monster in particular is goddamned compelling, and worth the watch by itself. Jesus, that arc is amazing.

Lilly Frankenstein is kind of meh, but how it ends up, particularly with Dr Frankenstein is good, and after they revealed her daughter it helped her story a lot.

Ethan Chandler/Vanessa Ives storyline ended up really good. Same with Malcom Murray.

Overall, the production is excellent. As well as the acting. It is worth a watch even if you aren't into the horror genre.

I watched Goliath on Amazon. That is a really good show. Maybe it is because I had low expectations going in, but goddamn, I couldn't quit watching it.

Billy Bob Thornton really brought it. And I don't know how much is makeup or whatever, but he is very convincing about having a lot of mileage on his odometer. Probably because he does.

When
Spoiler!
my mouth literally dropped open. I haven't been that surprised by something in forever.

Initially I thought the other lawyer and paralegal characters were bad, but they developed them nicely and wove them into the story.

Some of the stuff with Cooperman McBride was kind of wonky, but but you can look past it.

Really a good watch if you like lawyer-ey flicks.

I caught Medici on Netflix.

It was pretty good. I ended up binging it while I was working in the office some.

The production values are really really good. So if you are a fan of the Renaissance period in general you need to watch it. But it is kind of a murder mystery/political thriller, so it's kind of cool. Kind of in the same vein as house of cards.

However, I caught myself thinking to myself "Oh look, someone is trying to wreck Robb Starks life again." LOL

Has anyone mentioned Family Matters yet ?

Buehler445 01-12-2017 12:57 PM

Legends of Tomorrow is really bad.

Currently enjoying very much season 1 of Netflix "The Crown".

Tremendous.

I'll check that out. I've been wondering if it is any good. Your recommendation of Goliath was top notch.

Ours too. We're watching the current season in our downstairs and a past season in our upstairs so we don't get them mixed up. It seems a touch crazy is the most valuable tool you can have.
