My gawd. Landman is so awful yet I have to watch it. It’s quite remarkable in that way. I can’t think of another show like it. Like Time Bandits. The best terrible show around.

Enjoyed it as well though I felt Claire Danes went a little too Carrie Matheson at times.

Finished Slow Horses 5. Jackson Lamb is one of the great TV characters of all time. His flatulence is a plot device and a weapon.

It is absolutely terrible. I wondered what I was missing, checked out season 1 and can happily never watch another episode. Yes it has a trashy kind of appeal that can draw you in but I think I can resist it.

It's like Yellowstone really, but a lot worse.

I'm in the industry so it is minimally neat in that way, but woof. Landmen don't do any of that stuff, right Mr. Coffee?

I'm in the same boat. Its such a bad show but Billy Bob keeps reeling me back in!! I dont know how or why...

And I'm genuinely going to have to skip parts where either Billy Bob's wife or daughter or the company lawyer show up.

Its like they were written by someone who has never met a real woman before or...sadly, if that was their experience with women? I dont know...but they're just insufferable.

But they get promoted to multi-billion dollar Corporate CEOs all the time.

New Spartacus is a pleasant surprise. I was just thinking of rewatching that series or Black Sails.

Unfortunately at the moment I only see it on the actual starz channel I don’t see any indication that it will also be added to Crave.

Who the #### subscribe to starz on its own?

Edit: the trailer is now on crave and it wasn’t yesterday. Maybe it will be there. I have access thru my tv provider but I’ve always had access to the starz content without paying extra for the starz add on.

I was checking out the Google Books app and there's a series of books on the charts that are all gay romance stories about hockey players. Ok, that's cool I guess, but when I turned on my TV I got an ad for Fierce Rivalry, which looks like it's based on one of those books. Ok, that's creepy, Google. But is the show any good? Is the hockey represented realistically or is it just man-on-man action?


It's on Crave, by the way. And it's called Heated Rivalry. Sorry.

I haven't watched it, but it's reviewed well and is seemingly immensely popular.

Maybe the NHL will pick up on the popularity and do something crazy like a themed night for the LGBTQ+ community.

No way. That would never fly.


I see TSN did an interview with the creators. I don't pay much attention to the hockey these days so maybe I'm the only one just finding out about this.

This is a strange coincidence, but my wife brought up this show with me last night, asking if I had heard about it. It was eerie and I said, "I'm literally reading a thread where it was just mentioned"

So no, you're not the only one just finding out about it.

She's pushing to watch it together. Someone needs to tell me whether or not it's worth it.

Those shows are just soap operas, like Dynasty or Knots Landing was, just aimed at men.

I havent seen the latest episode yet, and overall I've been enjoying it, but yeah, thematically its all over the place. I dont know where its going either. There are a lot of loose storylines to wrap up and I dont know what the condition of this show is.

Is it a limited series? Designed for 2 or + seasons? A 'play it by ear and make it up as we go along?' I really dont know.
