muscles like this! posted:Over at my parents' house for the holiday and they're watching some Irish Mob show on Netflix. They got up to the episode about Jimmy "the Gent" Burke (from Goodfellas) and they have Henry Hill on to talk about it. Man, this guy uses "gently caress" as punctuation. What's the name? Is it like a documentary I take it?

I miss Ted Mosby Architect, whose posts were better than the actual show by the time the end rolled around.

I guess getting archives and reading the threads will prompt me to watch the shows I've never watched and vice-versa  like I've never seen Sopranos

Ok I just finished Marcella season 2 on Netflix, and I'm not going to say how good or bad it was, but is there any given clue as to why, in the final five minutes, she slices her cheek open and cuts her hair? Is this symbolic of something? Or is it just left unexplained? Because I'm so not going to watch any part of it again to figure it out.

The season was a mess, but compulsively watchable, and I was in the mood for a Very British Depression Murder. I'm a bit surprised the writer answers as much as he does here, they're usually coy and useless. I'm glad though, because half the stuff he mentions in there came off as sloppy, and I guess it's good to get some answers.

Milo and POTUS posted:What's the name? Is it like a documentary I take it? Yeah, it was a documentary series called The Irish Mob. I don't think I would recommend it as they had some pretty flimsy stuff in it sometimes. Like the episode about Red Hamilton, a member of the Dillinger gang, where they talk about him dying and then bring up at the last second this uncorroborated story from his nephew about how he totally just moved up to Canada and lived in a cabin on an island. There is also an episode about Mickey Spillane (the mobster, not the author) and because they talk to his son and brother in law the whole thing is completely whitewashed. I think in the entire episode they only mention two actual crimes he was involved in. Other than that he was somehow a gangster who never actually seemed to be involved with anything, despite running Hell's Kitchen.

Timby posted:Manifest is up there, I also have a feeling The Kids Are Alright is going to fall flat on its face. New Amsterdam sounds terrible. "The brilliant and charming Dr. Max Goodwin is the Bellevue institution's newest medical director, who sets out to tear up the bureaucracy and provide exceptional care. Not taking "no" for an answer, Dr. Goodwin must disrupt the status quo and prove he will stop at nothing to breathe new life into this understaffed, underfunded and underappreciated hospital - the only one in the world capable of treating Ebola patients, prisoners from Rikers and the president of the United States under one roof - and return it to the glory that put it on the map." So I guess that means it will get 12 seasons and a spinoff  .

I'm going to guess that Manifest tries that slow burn mystery storytelling which has been proven to just not work. Lost was pretty much the only show to pull that off and all of its imitators ended up getting canceled without revealing anything because they took too long.

Humbug Scoolbus posted:Whiskey Cavelier Really? Of all I saw, I feel like that's probably the most promising. God Friended Me is dead right out of the gate, but Manifest is doomed too. I mean, maybe it can pivot into being early Fringe or something, and it could be saved, I dunno. But unlikely.

One show you might not think of for its Lost-like qualities - Once Upon a Time. Created by two guys who worked on Lost, large ensemble cast (many of whom faded into the background or just disappeared), heavily reliant on flashbacks which mirrored or informed the "present day" events of a given episode, mystery being made up as they went along etc.
