Does it ever portray the mormon church as a bunch of misogynistic, sexist, racist, evil pieces of #### though. Except Andrew Garfield.
It was excellent. Stellar acting from the cast

I'll echo that sentiment. I really liked that show and absolutely great work from the entire cast.

Finished WeCrashed on Apple. Probably my favorite show about a corporate failure and there have been many. I really liked this one, thought Leto and Hathaway were incredible.

For vintage fans, I found out that they have Friday Night Lights on Crave, and started watching it again.


Such an excellent first season so far, with just terrible stuff happening in waves. But still the gold standard for writing and acting for me. Plus . . . football.

A new Season of Blown Away starts Friday on Netflix.

Glass blowing competition that's an interesting and fun watch.

It is an absolutely excellent show. I'm going to re-watch. I was excited to see it added.

Have we talked about "Vikings: Valhalla" anywhere? It's on Netflix and it's just as good as "Vikings" if not better. I'm on episode 7 of 8 and we just started it on Sunday. Fataing awesome.

The Great Kiwi Bake Off might be my favourite of the international bake off spins offs. I enjoy their funny accents and think their lower population results in less home baker depth leading to some hilariously bad bakes in the early episodes.

I'm at the end of the first season, which is one of the best 1st years of a TV show.

The second year is weird just as a warning because the season ends abruptly due to the writers strike.

Another great one from NZ is their version of Taskmaster (original from the UK). Season 3 just started a couple of weeks ago (available on dailymotion and I'm sure from other fine folks flying the Jolly Roger).

I keep wondering how many years it can run before they run out of NZ-based comedians/actors to appear on the show.

I didn't end up watching this show until last year and while it has some network tv elements that make it harder to swallow, overall it was excellent and entertaining, and a launching pad for some big stars.

I'm going to be watching it.

Largely because Reynolds and McElhenney are hilarious but also because this seems like something crazy I would do if I were obscenely wealthy.

"Yeah, I'm just going to buy this and see what happens!"

This looks a lot better than the previous clip that was released, also I'm pretty excited about who shows up at the end!

Recently started watching and are big fans of Hulu's 'Only Murders in the Building's as well as Apple's 'Black Bird'. Also started 'Severance', which is strange but interesting an episode in.
