Looking forward to watching Pluribus now. Going to watch it with my partner, which is exciting. I didn’t watch any of BB/BCS with her as she doesn’t enjoy super violent stuff.

As a lawyer, I thought BCS was chillingly accurate in a lot of ways. Obviously, the main premise and Saul's antics are out there, but the depiction of the law firm culture and some of the procedures was great.

I definitely miss that show.

Yes - lawyers review documents - we don’t solve murders.

There were multiple scenes with Kim just reviewing documents. When I compare that depiction to the one of lawyer life in "Suits" BCS was just so much better. Although Suits was really more of a soap opera, with the lawyering acting as a jumping point for the drama between the characters.

One thing I did find inaccurate was that they made Jimmy so poor. He was hustling and picking up public defender work. That work doesn't pay a huge amount, but someone who puts the time and work in could easily make $100k/year.

Obviously the most accurate-to-life legal drama was Boston Legal.

There's a single scene in The Shield that keeps me from re-watching it:

Spoiler!

I can't watch Dutch strangle that stray cat ever again.

Apparently episode 5 is supposed to be really good! I can't wait!

It is not for the faint of heart, and there was a lot of "What in the hell did i just watch" said.

all that being said, can't wait for next week

So 3 episodes have dropped, I'm only most way through the first one but 'The Mighty Nein' has been pretty entertaining so far.

I knew some legal aid criminal lawyers in BC that weren’t making much money. Bad suits, no office.

Definitely enjoying Welcome To Derry. Very entertaining. I don't find it really that scary, but intense and wild, more like what somebody said earlier 'what the h*ll did I just watch?'.

Once the CGI of IT's forms come out it loses a little creepiness as well for me, the subtle stuff is more scary.

Some of the forms of IT in the series don't make a lot of sense based on the being's m.o. from the book (again referring to episode 5)... and some of the plot developments in episode 5 are pretty silly, but overall a really good watch and a step up in wildness from the movies, which were good as well.

I've been enjoying it as well, similarly I dont find it scary at all more weird, but its fun! No weak links in terms of acting, the story is going to take some time to pan out all the way, but thats the deal.

Not really scary, but definitely gross at points. I'm finding some of the body horror pretty difficult to watch.

The creature from IT is at its scariest when jumping out of and lurking in the shadows. He's pretty front and centre in this series.

I'd agree with that, the body horror stuff can be a bit over the top.

I'm just stuck in that 'King Vortex' where he meanders around a lot before getting to the point. For instance, the Military want to capture Pennywise...uh huh...and then?? For why?

Then you've got the Natives and the Kids and falsely accused man and back to the Military again because you've got Commander Keen or whatever his name is using the Black Guys as kind of cannon fodder...without a seemingly real plan. Then theres the Cops and on and on and you know at some point this will all be wrapped up but for the moment we're just along for the ride.

But thus far? What a ride!

Just finished Tulsa King season 3. They leaned even more into the gangster world this season. I was skeptical that I could stand Stallone this long, my wife even moreso, but it all just works!

I've been a huge BB fan since it came out and have watched the whole series 3 times, but have never seen a single minute of BCS. Starting it today.

Highly recommend "The Beast in Me" on Netflix. Very well-made thriller.
