That Yellowjackets was nominated for best drama has eliminated any reason to ever care about the Emmys

Some things are still just so dumb. CTV still requires you to log in to provider to stream recent episodes, when more than 90% (probably) of Canadians could access live broadcasts OTA. Enabling location services should be all that's required to play catchup online, but it's not.

I quite enjoyed this series. Got better with each new episode.

Does Succession get better after the first 4 episodes? Lots of hype around it and I'm just not feeling it so far.

If you didn’t like it after the first episode, you probably never will enjoy the series. No point forcing it.

Finished the Muscle and Mayhem documentary about the American Gladiators. I enjoyed it as I grew up watching the show. Not surprised about some of the stuff the went on behind the scenes but wow, their bodies must have taken a beaten. They all look pretty damn good now and still in great shape.

I know a lot of people who didn't like it after a few episodes but really liked it after powering through. Because the people are so horrible, it takes a while to get involved. There is no one to route for right off the bat.

I would stick with it for a season

Police Story 1 and 2 is on TV where I'm staying, never seen or heard of it. Holy crap what a great movie. I now understand why Jackie Chan is so awesome.

I have been binging the first Justified in anticipation of the new one. Have 5 episodes to go in season 6 and really looking forward to jump into 'Justified: City Primeval'. I haven't heard any feedback on the new episodes, so my fingers are crossed.

Just finished City Primeval E1 and...you will not be disappointed.

No wonder they're canceling shows lift and right, this one must have cost a fortune!

They only made 8 episodes. The first four air in November and the next four come out in 2024. They're definitely milking it for all it's worth. I hope we don't wait another three years for season 3.

Righteous gemstones cannot get enough praise, this is the best written comedy since Veep. I've been watching this season next to the latest season of It's Always Sunny and gemstones is far and away the better show, it's like going from a purebred stallion in the prime of their lives to an old donkey slowly trudging up the mountainside
