One of the best shows to come out of Canada in decades. Even if you’re not into SF, the performance element of it is staggering. Maslany absolutely deserved her Emmy in the final season for her stellar work.
And he was Vic the Dick in Orphan Black.
I am not sure if they still have it but about a month ago, I got a deal where I got a year of AMC+ for $20.
Thanks, I’ll check that out. That would let me watch season 6 as it unfolds. I would actually be able to participate in the Saul threads here!
Brenda Blethyn is one of my favorite actors in the universe.
I’m old enough to have watched it live. I loved it. I also had a crush on Randy Mantooth!
Reminds me of how I got hooked years ago on the old Twelve O’Clock High TV series. Paul Burke is Alia Shawcut’s uncle!
First episode of Season 3 shows in US April 24th. WIll be roughly three years after the broadcast of the second season (downside of a long pause, then a pandemic etc).
I don’t get the low regard for Loki a lot of people have - it wasn’t perfect by any means (particularly the last episode with its endless exposition) but I thought it was one of the more clever takes on the whole multiverse concept. It’s probably my favorite of the bunch, whereas I found Hawkeye clumsy and disappointing overall despite my great appreciation for Hailee Steinfeld.
We watched that and enjoyed it. It also died early, IMHO.
Even when I was reading comics, my tastes tended to lean more towards down-to-earth titles like Daredevil, Alias (the Jessica Jones series), Black Widow, Captain America and the like. I’ve never followed Thor or anything set in outer space, it’s just never been my cup of tea. I’m fine with Loki taking off as the most frequent and enjoyable antihero in the MCU, Hiddleston makes it pretty fun.
But I was just totally lost in the Loki series, I could barely get a handle on the whole variant concept. And as for depictions of a comic multiverse, AFAIC, the Arrowverse pretty much knocked it out of the park a couple of years ago, and even though the recent Spider-Man movie delivered on the fanservice really well, I feel like Marvel’s trying to play catch-up. Both comic companies are trying to tackle the whole “multiverse” notion in various ways, simultaneously, which I guess will hit peak nerdgasm when Warners cuts a deal with Sony, and Batman (whoever’s playing him that month) and the Scarlet Witch team up onscreen to battle an unholy alliance of Lex Luthor and the Kingpin.
I watched the first episode of S2 of Picard and I’m done with it, and perhaps the whole Star Trek franchise. I am so sick of time travel and alternate realities. It’s been done to death!
The first two episodes of Minx have dropped on HBO Max. It’s a period comedy about a feminist/porn magazine in the early 1970s. It’s kind of got a Glow vibe but not as serious. Jake Johnson is really good as a rather enlightened porn publisher. Just a heads up (heh): They pack a lot of full frontal male nudity into the first 15 minutes so that you barely even notice it by the end of the first episode.
There’s so much FFMN that The NY Times wrote an article about it yesterday. 
My interest in this just pegged at zero.
Odd. I’m curious about it now. 
I recently told my DVR to not record any more episodes of HGTV’s “Home Inspector Joe”, sort of a mashup of “House Hunters” and “Holmes Inspection”. I have four issues with the series: the episode title tends to give away which house gets chosen, too much is recapped after every commercial break, Joe Mazza is no Mike Holmes, and the last episode I saw introduced Joe’s physical trainer brother.
“Upload” is about a time in the future when you go to a sort of digital heaven (if you have the money, you can choose a luxurious one with lots of data). I thought season 1 was very good.
I just watched season 2 (dropped 3/11). Not as good…but I still liked it.
A LOT of HGTV shows do this. And it’s obnoxious.
Interesting choice of words. 
I watched “Five Came Back”, Netflix, only 3 episodes, a documentary about 5 directors, Ford, Huston, Capra and I forget the other 2, top Hollywood directors who went to WWII to film the war, not as a movie per se, I don’t know how to describe what they did, you should watch it. Capra was so good. I’ve always been especially fascinated in combat photography, and although this is not that, it was still terrific and I recommend it highly. And I’m not a documentary person at all.
