I found this humorous from the link, when asked about a Dark sequel

“Maybe in 33 years?” Quips Friese.
“Or maybe a spin-off of Wöller and his eye… as a comedy, what happened to him? Odar jokes.


Comedy? Dude, you guys made a show for 3 seasons and I don't think one character managed to crack a smile. It was the biggest flaw in Dark, no change of tone at all. And this guy thinks he's cracking a joke by suggesting a comedy? A German comedy? Now that's funny. I don't think the guy would know humour if it hit him over the head from 33 years in the future.

Trailer doesn't tell you much, but its mood is very much in keeping with Dark
I don't know Dark, but that's how you do a trailer.

set the mood and draw my interest.

Wasn't the greatest ending but at least it was some closure and made sense within that world. It's nothing compared to final season disasters like Dexter or Game of Thrones
To me it was the ultimate cop out due to laziness. Instead of solving the mysteries they cultivated, they just threw them into purgatory. That's a wrap!

They did the final season well for what they were going for, but IMO what they were going for sucked.

I'm also one of the minority that was absolutely fine with the Lost finale. It worked for me, bringing a nice sense of closure to the relationships.

Dark's last season was a real slog. By the end I just wanted them to get on with it.

Yep. Way too much exposition from pruneface.

Season 1 was a marvel though. One of the best seasons of a show I can think of.

I don't disagree: there was a lot going on for sure that season; I am surprised it had a reasonably good ending (i had originally thought S3 Ep 7 was how it would end)

I think season 2 was actually my favorite as they began to answer stuff and some of the links became clearer... Also had my favorite episode of the series in Episode 6 "An Endless Cycle"

loved the cinematography and music as well...

Mr Inbetween is returning for its third and final season in a couple of weeks.



It's an Australian show about a hitman who's struggling with being a good father for his young daughter and living an otherwise normal life.

It is a comedy ... but a very dark comedy, and it has a lot of violence.


The first 2 seasons are on FX streaming. There's only 17 existing half hour episodes, so it's pretty easy to get caught up.

This kind of got me to thinking. With all the comic movies/series and reboots, I'm surprised nobody has done a gritty Dick Tracy reboot. Could make for a decent series.

Are these guys EVER going to find something on Oak Island?

And why can’t I stop watching it like a toddler on a treasure hunt?

My wife and I binged Frank of Ireland (Prime) over the weekend. It's freaking hilarious. So many belly laughs. The humour is pretty dirty so if that's not your thing you might want to skip it.

6 episodes. 20-30 minutes. It's an easy binge.

As documentaries go, Sons of Sam on Netflix is an eye opener.

Revisiting the infamous crimes of David Berkowitz in mid-70s New York City, it is a really well done look at what happened but moreso what didnt happen in the investigation.

It also examines the role the media played in the whole saga (both good and bad) as well as the relationship between the authorities and the newspapers (in particular).

Im only 2 parts through the 4 part series, but if you have any kind of fascination with true crime stories, police competance, the role of the occult in things, and the ramblings of a madman, this thing will hook you.

Agreed, we watched the first two episodes last night.

I'm not a crime guy, but my wife likes that stuff.

I actually enjoyed it, even though it is a fukcing morbid topic.

Is this similar to Barry in feel?
