Hopefully 2024 continues the trend of really good second seasons.

2) this show is like an updated, slightly elevated/higher quality version of Walker Texas Ranger

Strongly disagree with this assessment.

Question, is there a thread on Yellowstone? My mom I’m curious what goon opinions are like

Overall not positive.

I’ve seen a few episodes and it’s just too over the top.

It’s Dallas for the 2020s

Yellowstone is fine.

It’s gotten pretty drawn out but I like a lot of it and I don’t consider myself a boomer.

Yeah I’m not gonna call it bad but fine is a good way to put it.

It didn’t click with me but I can see the appeal of it.

Yeah, I also started reading the book halfway through the season. They are both a little dry, and the TV series is a bit slow (THIRTY episodes), but it was a good and mostly faithful adaptation of the book. (Totally softened the Cultural Revolution parts, though)

That being said, I had quite a few issues with the first two books I read, and I don't think Netflix will make them any better...

OK thanks I might have to give the shows a watch. They are on youtube so maybe I'll do that.

I’m only 3 episodes in but Fool Me Once on Netflix is really drat good! It’s a limited run series so I guess that means it’s a one and done?

I'm sure there were circumstances that led to that happening for your mom, but that isn't normally the case. 73 isn't really all that old anymore, if you're otherwise healthy.

A retirement community for Marge, sure, I could see that.

It’s this mostly.

The main opening is always on YouTube the next day, as are the interviews (this is how I watched the guest host era). I think it's also on Paramount+ in full.

Finished Silo finally which was really good but I was kinda expecting that ending. Very good overall though.

I also watched rebel moon which I knew was bad but it was like next level bad and kinda makes me mad it’s that garbage.

The Traitor is back on Peacock. It's low calorie reality tv, effectively high stakes Mafia, but the first season had a couple of great things going for it:

- All Star cast of reality tv stars from Real House Wives, Bachelors, Big Brother, Survivor, etc. It's surprisingly charming watching these D-listers interact.
- Alan Cumming is chewing it the gently caress up as the Emcee of the show. Killer host. He's approaching it like the Chairman from Iron Chef, fully committing to the games reality. Great fits too.

Second season has likewise been a hoot so far.

This show rules and it’s dumb AF but it rules.

I watched the UK and Aus versions as well.

Gordon Ramsey was actually funny, albeit playing himself, on a bit in an episode of New Girl.

I know someone who worked with Gordon on a few shows and they said he was really nice to work with and took really good care of everyone.

It's just that the 5% which was good before is now making up 10% of the whole.

That’s not a problem that will be fixed by not voting or not voting for Biden. Do something about that after this election.

It could be fixed now actually. There’s 0 reason why Joe has to be the default pick.

It’s frustrating and a lot of people are feeling that.
