Binged the first four episodes of new season of The Bear.
Abby Elliot has become a top shelf actor. Nice to see more shows dealing with the love between siblings.
Richie continues to grow, with his ex, and putting on a special display for a table.
Music highlights:
Bob Dylan - Most of the Time
Pretenders - Mystery Achievement
Episode 4 was maybe an unnecessary detour with Sydney working out her dilemma of which restaurant to work with.

I'm gonna try, but frankly the 3rd season lost me. I know it's not a popular opinion, but I thought the 3rd season was poor.

Ice Chips (season 3) was perhaps the best episode of the series.

It is on point on so many things.

Nothing will ever top Band of Brothers, but I will give Generation Kill the 1b spot

Agree to disagree
I fully encapsulates life in the modern military, especially at that time.
So many scenes I had experienced something similar.
The names for superior ranks, we had Big Daddy Dan The Marlboro Man, as our CSM.
And a complete POS as an RSM.
The other thing to do is watch it be focus on listening to the background dialogue and chatter, so ####ing good

Meant to watch it years ago and somehow forgot, thanks for the reminder!

Hopefully there is some dialogue.

Is Revival based on the Stephen King book? If so, as much as I enjoy his work, we should maybe slow down on adapting it to the screen.

I also just finished watching this show. Fantastic police procedural with awesome characters and a great story/mystery. I was also impressed with how they pulled all the threads together in the last two episodes for such a satisfying conclusion.
They clearly set things up for a 2nd season, so here's hoping it gets renewed.

I don’t think so. I thought I read it was based on a comic book series.

To be fair
the same comment could be expressed from those storming the beaches of France in 1944. The series was brought to life from - mostly - the same people that made Saving Private Ryan...which is universally respected as the film most accurately depicting D-Day in spite of the cinematic flair.
By all expert accounts and analysts, the depicted Brécourt Manor Assault was brilliant.
I loved Band of Brothers, and I think it is the more rewatachable series. But there is something so viscerally realistic about Generation Kill that will never leave me.
I also love the conversation comparing the two. Probably the most win-win debate there is.
