Anyone have a site that puts out summaries of an entire season of TV shows? Kind of like what IMDB does for individual episodes but summaries of whole seasons.

Totally, Forks was an incredible transformation for Richie. Fishes was hard to watch imo. Great acting and backstory, but I much preferred Forks.

If you've ever worked as a line-cook or in a Kitchen and still have nightmares about it, this show will seriously trigger you.

I forget which episode it was in Season 1 but my wife caught me dazed...it was just too real.
TOTALLY. Never worked kitchen but did work front of house and it's sooo on point.

I always find it a little funny when the uninitiated watch it.

"That cant be what its like, nobody could work in that environment!"

I just told her: "You'd be amazed. That is exactly what its like."

Ok, finished Squid Game.

I think it easily is the most depressing show ever created, moving past The Wire and Succession in terms of darkness about the state of humanity.

Working my way through "Search Party". I wasn't sure what to expect when I started it but it's been a very fun ride so far (almost done season 2). There's a lot of twists and turns and the acting from the main characters has been great.

Show: Search Party
Streaming Platform: Crave (HBO)
Seasons: 5 (series completed)
Episode Length: ~25 minutes
Trailer (season 1):

Woah...I'm watching a South African series called "Lioness" on MHz Choice and thought I was confused....two series with similar names at the same time. Weird.

I couldn't watch after episode 3 or 4 and had to stop because of Gomez. What a slap in the face to pair her with Martin and Short!

Started to rewatch Breaking Bad since it has been a decade since that show ended. I finally convinced my wife to give it a try so it is her first time watching. I forgot how slow the first season was but can’t wait for her to watch season 3-5

Can’t imagine having to stop because of her.

They love her, btw.

And if you don’t find either of them over the top, I don’t know what to tell you

What are you looking for her to do - show every emotion in every scene and maybe throw a pie?

Fisk on Netflix is quite funny. They get many things right about a wills and probate law office.

She is just a terrible actress.

I'll give it another try maybe in a couple of years. Too many other things to watch.

I've quite enjoyed it. Kitty Flanagan is great, I absolutely loathed her character in Utopia/Dreamland which means she absolutely nailed the PR and Marketing role.

The first season of The Bear was so frantic and stress inducing.

The first few episodes of Season 2 were as if they from a totally different show - heavily focused gastronomy and characters - I bet they lost a bunch of the people who were into season 1. I’m going to put very general thoughts in spoilers but for anyone who might have gave up on season 2 after the first few episodes, keep on going. It is so worth it.
Spoiler!

Painkiller is to Dopesick as crack is to cocaine. Sorry I couldn't come up with a clever, opioid based comparison, but it just doesn't hold a candle to it.

Mare of Easttown (Crave/HBO) is a couple years old now, and is excellent. It's a sombre and harrowing whodunnit with a ton of family/small town dynamic piled on top - it's incredibly captivating.

Stars Kate Winslet, Evan Peters, Guy Pierce, and a deep supporting cast. Only seven episodes

I agree that it is not as good as Dopesick, but it is still a really good watch imo.

That one with Jeff Daniels was good too. Rust something. Had a kind of similar vibe. It’s ongoing though so no resolution like Mare of Eastown had.
