I need a new TV series to get into (old or new) v2

It is literally 'The Hangover' but just stretched out and with more steps.

So shortly after his appearance on SNL and the monologue he gave about his own show, Chappelle's Show was removed from Netflix at Dave Chappelle's request. Now HBO Max will be following suit and pulling the show from their streaming platforms (which I assume includes Crave). It's a damn shame that things got so sour between Comedy Central and Chappelle that he is actually torpedoing any access to it that doesn't include him receiving a cheque.

I mean, I get it. It was a dick move to capitalize on the show without compensating Chappelle, but he also walked away in the middle of production for season 3. Situation sucks, and fans are getting punished. Not a good look for either side.

I'm glad I have the first 2 seasons on DVD, but now I'm so used to be able to stream it whenever I want and gone are the days of a DVD player in every room with a TV. For the amount of cash Netflix threw your way for all these specials you could have let them stream the show, Dave.

The Undoing, with Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant, is pretty good. And only 6 episodes, so not too daunting to tackle.

Your Honor has been good, but I think the Deus Ex and coincidences have been a bit much. I think the writing could tighten up a bit in that regard.

Also I thought New Orleans / Louisiana accents were a little stronger? Or is that a misconception?

I thought Your Honor peaked at first episode and is now starting to accelerate the fall on its way down.
I will continue to watch. It's not bad even. And the above may be o er exaggerated. I just thought it might be really great, but it's definitely not.

How many episodes is it supposed to run? I could tolerate a single season, but not much more.

Agreed. 10 total episodes and is assumed it's one and done.
And yes, they can keep it interesting for 10 episodes, hopefully.

I had just watched Defending Jacob, and it's a little too similar to that show, and not quite as good (at least the last couple episodes). I'll stick it through.. it looks great in HDR, and it's always fun to watch more Bryan Cranston.

Wonderful.

Blacklist on Netflix has got me watching for past month. Making of Murderer is my all time favourite binge watching series, though. Well done with enough bits to keep watching after each episodes.

That show was probably the only one where I wanted to throw things at my TV.

I'll reiterate...I dont know and am not convinced either way of whether he did it or not. But the flagrant abuses of the Law by the local Police Department and Justice Officials are absolutely shameful.

Every single person involved should be fired and their pensions revoked. A few of them should probably be in Jail because frankly, they committed crimes.

Two things are true about that show.

1. Those police are garbage.

2. Steven Avery totally killed that girl.

Anyone know anything about Hollywood?

Amazon Prime's The Wilds is ok. About 9 girls castaway on an island after a plane crash. It's actually pretty good but there is one of the WORST actresses I have ever seen in it and she ruins pretty much the entire show.

From like a 8/10 down to a 5/10. She is such garbage anyone who casts her should be instantly fired.

We started Yellowstone last night. First two episodes were really good. Hopefully it holds up!

[FireGilbert]

Finished binging Schitt's Creek. It strikes a good balance between breezy easy to watch pacing and smart character driven comedy. The early episodes are a bit average but things pick up once the characters are developed. I really enjoyed the cast chemistry and unconventional writing but wasn't a fan of the over reliance on pop culture references and a few clunky dramatic moments. It's not going on a best of list but would recommend.

[Erick Estrada]

I apologize if this show has been discussed but have any of you seen The Good Lord Bird? It's a pretty good show and Ethan Hawke is on point.

I've enjoyed Your Honor a lot more over the last couple episodes.

The similarities to Breaking Bad are strong.
