Hah, I kind of forgot it was there!
Agreed. Emma Thompson’s character is trying a bit too hard to wisecrack like Oldman’s character.
I watched the first couple of episodes. Hemsworth is no Henry Cavill, but it’s fine so far.
I’ve been enjoying The Lowdown as well. It feels like it’s spinning its wheels a lot, but that’s kind of the point. The story is progressing but it’s kind of meandering at its own pace. The show is also tied to Reservation Dogs per IMDB but I didn’t catch how. It also has Graham Greene for two eps and it’s a heartbreaking role.
But Season 3 has just arrived on Netflix instead of being exclusively on AMC. I was too impatient to wait so I subscribed to AMC to watch it earlier, and will probably do the same for Season 4 next February.
(And can I just say that the burned-out “R” in the neon sign “DINER” in the thumbnail on your teaser link is a little gem of genius all on its own? chef’s kiss)
Good catch! Now it spells Dine which is the Navajo name for Navajo.
Finally made it through Monster: The Ed Gein Story on NetFlix.
The story could have been told in four episodes and it would have been, I think, a decent series. Instead, it’s eight episodes that are extremely graphic and branch into storylines involving Hitchcock, Nazis, Ted Bundy, and the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, most of which are completely fictionalized. I would not recommend, although I felt compelled to watch until the end.
Charlie Hunnam as Ed and Laurie Metcalf as Ed’s mother both do superb acting jobs, IMO.
You’re a stronger person than I am.
So clever! Love this show.
We’re watching Task. Both my husband and I really like it, and that’s saying something.
I just found We Are Lady Parts on Peacock last night and my wife and I enjoyed it quite a bit.
Amina is a PhD student in London who teaches kids guitar lessons on the side who gets recruited into an all-female, all-Muslim punk band. Also she has a bit of stage fright, likes a cute guy, her best friend is a little snooty, and her parents are a little overinvolved in her life.
We’re only a few episodes in but we’re having a great time watching the show. The band characters are fun and have good energy together. It feels very realistic but you also see a few “out there” things going on in Amina’s imagination. I really cheered for her and want her to succeed.
