Bayesian 1,359 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 My wife and I began watching the new Perry Mason on HBO. Five episodes ("chapters") in, and we're absolutely hooked. It's one of the best written, acted, and/or produced shows I've ever had the pleasure to come across, and I'm thrilled it's been renewed for a second season.

Bayesian 1,359 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 I incidentally enjoy how this first season is set in early 1932. Thanks to the show’s top-shelf production values, we really get a feel for the era JW was born into. (Of course, he was born on Long Island, not in L.A., but you get what I mean.)

Jay 37,281 Posted August 8, 2020 Author Share Posted August 8, 2020 We're enjoying it as well. At first, I thought it was very boring and wasn't that into it, but eventually as you got to know the characters the scenes where the story wasn't advancing became as good as the ones where it was. It is interesting with one episode to go they've already revealed who was responsible for the baby's death, so now I guess the last episode is about getting them to admit to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK 3,307 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Anybody else watch Good Girls? It's basically Breaking Bad-lite, but with the ladies. Nowhere close quality-wise, but the cast is super-likeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 On a bored evening whim I stumbled on and watched (Netflix's search engine had it strangely very well buried) the first episode of yet another zombie apocalypse series called Black Summer. I gave up on The Walking Dead around four years ago, so a new fiction isn't actually overkill for me at this point; and besides, this one is tonally and stylistically quite different - we've got fast rage zombies for a start, and the shaky cam handheld filming feels tense and it put me on edge. The introductory scenarios thus far are quite spare and rushed, everyone is jogging out of their suburban homes in little family units, right as the breakdown has started, and some of the scenes feel very realistic in how hushed and orderly neighbours all instinctively make their way down the same end of their street together as the local evacuation gets underway. This stuff just fires some sort of primal fantasy in men, and I'm a sucker for it. I'll probably watch the whole thing in a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
