tore through FOR ALL MANKIND over the past couple of weeks

all history/space nerds will really dig this...an alternate history where the rooskies got to the moon first and the space race never ends. boardwalk empire like in that its a show with 100 different things going on and they somehow bring them all together in the end. S2 especially, the finale is an all time tv episode.
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

I've turned into a comic book movie lover since the pandemic started.  so much content!

anyway I binged the peacemaker over the last week or so.  for what it is, a movie about a semi super hero with no actual powers, it's a pretty funny show. I didn't know John Cena could act but he's actually good.  only eight episodes and I'll watch again if there's another season.

I keep hearing good things but haven't jumped in. I watched the new Suicide Squad and it had a lot of good gags in it, his character included. I do like Cena though...he's hilarious in Blockers.

perhaps you could explain sd's reasons for "disliking" it as well since you seem to be so in tune with other peoples minds

Only watched because of this review...the racist, conspiracy theorist, deep state dad had me in tears. Jennifer Holland is smoking. There's nudes online, she's got some perky tits.

Boardwalk Empire- a lot of peaks and valleys. Great setting. Overall solid series with great source material

Vikings Valhalla - takes place 100 years after the events of the og Vikings. Quick watch and jumps right into the action.

Reacher - god awful series...no idea why I finished it

The Tinder Swindler - dude is my idol

Dopesick - aside from the Trumps I can't think of a worse American family than the Sacklers. Been off fb for a while but log in every few months because I want to see if anyone I grew up with passed. Sure enough last month I logged on and my buddy passed at the age of 47. Did some asking around to old friends and he od'd. When the Phils made their run a kid ran on the field and was tazed, next night a guy ran in the field and was arrested. I grew up with the second guy, was chatting with him last January on fb messenger, he was telling me he's been 90 days clean and we were supposed to grab lunch. 2 weeks later he died of an overdose. The year prior a guy that was in my fantasy league od'd and died. I've actually lost count of the amount of friends who've died from addiction. One common thread among all these people is they started on prescription pain meds. Whether they acquired them legally or not they got them and abused them. Scumbags involved with the Sacklers including detestable pieces of shtein like Giuliani should be jailed and I don't think the death penalty should be off the table. The ripple effect of their manipulative actions will linger forever. I know 2 people who've been to rehab a few times and were successful staying clean. One was former Marines special forces the other a former D1 football scholarship recipient. My friends that passed weren't nobody junkies, they were people with careers and families. Sorry for the rant this whole ordeal has gone on long enough and I get infuriated when I watch the evil involved. 

Keaton was outstanding as was the rest of the cast. The Sacklers just got hammered again. The detestable pieces of shtein still blame "junkies" who abused their drug.

Sorry for your losses man.

The opioid crisis doesn't get enough attention and you're right the responsible parties should be locked up.

Inventing Anna was really good.  Already knew the whole story but Julia Garner killed it.

Gaming Wallstreet - if you're a fan of movies like the Big Short this mini doc is for you. AOC makes an appearance. It's amazing after the 2008 collapse and bailouts companies like Goldman Sachs are still doing shady shtein.

I knew the generic version I had no idea there was a huge article and the media circus. Proud to say out of all the famous people she conversed with the only ones I recognized was the FYRE guy and the guy that insulted Wu Tang. Series was good. Thought they pandered to her ego a bit too much.

Pam and Tommy season finale dropped today. If you're looking for a time killer easy binge watch with some great moments check it out.

woah baby we got a 5 alarm fire of a show....SEVERANCE

just ran through the first season. i cannot recommend this enough. an all time last episode with a preposterously good cliffhanger.

Read the description...right up my alley. Starting episode 1 after gs/den. Free Apple TV trial for a week then charges $4.99 so no biggie. I want to watch Ted Lasso too. With the nba playoffs doubtful I'll be able to burn through both shows in a week so I'm probably in for a month...any other binge worthy shows you recommend that aren't already on Hulu/Netflix/prime/hbomax?
