Stranger Things season 4 - Great

Wasn't even sure I was going to jump in right away because I honestly didn't care that a new season was dropping. Ended watching all 7 episodes in three days. The rest of the season releases in July.

I'm not a fan of this new trend of splitting seasons.

The Boys - still good

Watched the first three episodes of season three.
Thank you for the reminder, need to peep the new season.
Squid Game

Late to this and heard some hype and discussion around it. It is really bleak but interested to see where all this goes.
I really enjoyed Squid Game, but I think it might have been a bit overhyped. Curious to see what your overall impressions are if you finish it.
 
About halfway through Dopesick on Hulu. Very enjoyable show with some turns I did not expect to see.

They also filmed the majority of it in Richmond (where I live) and it's fun to see all the buildings and areas they repurposed. The last episode I watched they filmed at an apartment next door to where I lived last year. They shut down the whole block so they could insert old cars and stuff into the shot to make it seem more early 2000's. Those bastards didn't even show the street so they made me move my car for two days FOR NOTHING!!!!

More Squid Game

Very intrigued and getting strong vibes that remind me a lot of a much older and super weird UK show The Prisoner. That show had a minor game element, but was mostly mind fvckery and plenty of weird sets showing the crew behind the scenes running the place and plotting new mind games against the main character #6. It might also be the way everyone is numbered in Squid Game reminds of this show and wonder if there is significance to the numbers.

Stranger Things: those kids grew up!

First of all, I'm not a fan of how they split the season up. Second, the episodes are each very long, and perhaps too long.

That said, the major plotline is interesting enough.

Really like the direction of stranger things season 4, great soundtrack and SFX to match it, probably my favorite season so far next to S2.

But damn these episodes are long, and the mid season finale is longer then a lot of movies, still great though not much filler.

If you've been watching the recent episode of Better Call Saul then you've probably seen the commercials for the new AMC series Dark Winds.

It is a show with a indigenous cast that takes place on a reservation. It's a crime noir psychological thriller. It debuts tonight and I'm going to record it and give it a watch later. I really hope it's good.

I liked the first episode, loving all the Monument Valley shots. My dad lived on the Navajo reservation for a few years in the late '60's / early '70's, so I've always been fascinated with the area. As an FYI, this is based on a long running series of books by Tony Hillerman.

Finished SQUID Game Season 1 finally. I suppose now I can appreciate all the related Memes.

Mixed feelings on it. Some interesting twists. Great production and sound track.

Some things not really explained, but I guess left for Season 2.



On the final reveal of the Host running the game, some of this seemed kind of weak and stupid. But then again, maybe it's true so many ultra wealthy are unimaginative fools and / or psychos IRL.
