Hell, even cancel your netflix during that time as it barely produces good content nowadays
Apple TV+ feels like it has the prestige now that HBO used to have from 10 years ago.

Netflix for us right now is Brooklyn 99 reruns, and the odd new show and movies here and there. Most of our viewing is Apple TV, Paramount, Prime, Crave, and Disney. We get Crave and Disney via my mother-inlaw's Cable subscription.

Looking forward to the 90 minute season finale of White Lotus!

If the Studio's first two episodes were edited into a feature film, it would be a smash hit.

Relentlessly entertaining.

Dare I say Rogen is used rather appropriately here too. Playing an absolute donkey is the role he was made for.

Who recommended 'The Bondsman?'

Really good so far, I'm liking it!

Season 4 of Clarkson's Farm starts May 23rd

- First four episodes will be available on the 23rd
- The next two on the 30th
- The final two on June 6th

This is from Amazon Prime Video UK but I'm assuming this is a global release date schedule.

Bosch: Legacy's third season will be it's final, which was apparently a surprise to those making it. A spinoff series about Renee Ballard, who works with Bosch in the books, and starring Maggie Q, is in the works.


Interesting interview (although short) with Titus Welliver

I never could manage to get through Bosch's second season. Started and stopped twice.

Does anyone watch Everybody's Live With John Mulaney? I came across this clip from the show and thought it was very funny. Not sure if the whole show is like this. But if it is then it might be worth a watch.

Yes a couple of us talk about it in thr Netflix thread. It's very fun but more absurdist and loose than you'd expect. I love it.

####ing hell.

The finale of White Lotus was epic. Shakespearean.

Such an interesting style of story telling. All the endings are always so vastly different in tone from one another. Some are heartwarming. Some are tragic. Some are sad but inspiring. Some are absurdist or meaningless.

I love it. More please.

The music and sound design in The White Lotus is phenomenal. Sounds great in an Atmos setup.

It's a shame the composer is moving on after differences with Mike White.

Also I saw that for all the flack the composer got for changing the theme, the full version has everything people wanted:

I don’t know why so many critics have complained about this season of White Lotus. It was great. It’s the only show from the last few years besides Succession that I watch day-of when a new episode drops.

There was a lot packed into the finale, but it all played out entertainingly, with dramatic twists and resolutions. And of course everything about the production, from the cinematography, to the sound design, acting, dialogue, etc - remains top-notch.

I do wonder if the premise can be sustained for a fourth season, though, without starting to feel formulaic. And you’d think an ultra-exclusive hotel chain where so many people have met violent ends would start to get a bad reputation.

As Valentina, the hotel manager said in Season 2 when she found out someone had drowned, "it's fine, the ocean is not hotel property."
