I might’ve missed it… it was a quick scan of the thread. Glad you liked it. Can’t wait for season 2 next year!
I saw the first episode of Yellowstone and it looked OK. Haven’t circled back yet. Does it get increasingly more intense and captivating as episodes roll on?
I didn’t quite know what to think of Outer Range, which has a curious blend of rural ranch life and time travel. I thought the 2nd season was a reasonably good progression from the 1st season, but then… BANG–series cancelled. A number of mysteries left unexplained or unfinished. Maddening.
I really liked Andor. On of the best of this new Star Wars serialized chapter. A very interest perspective in the Star Wars universe. I always wondered about the scrappy independent techs that keep so much machinery and equipment going.
Fallout is so bizarre! And so cool. I’ve enjoyed the futurized retro aesthetic. It’s going to be really interesting to see how things unfold in the next season.

Last week the we started watching Tulsa King on Paramount.
The series stars Sylvester Stallone as Dwight Manfredi, an American Mafia caporegime who has been recently released from prison in New York and is sent to Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he begins to set up a criminal organization.
I’m not a fan of most crime drama shows, but this one is not half bad.

I cannot stand the latest personality incarnation of Stallone (he has really tarnished his legacy)… but Tulsa King looks interesting. I’ll have to check it out.

Agreed. I had to figure out a way to get past it. Sometimes it’s hard to separate the actor from the character, but if I blacklisted every celebrity or media personality that I didn’t agree with, I’d probably watch a lot less TV and movies. Maybe that isn’t a bad thing?

Yellowstone isn’t bad, but it starts to decline as time goes on, sort of a “it’s beginning to drag” thing? On the other hand, 1883 (Yellowstone’s prequel) has better execution and writing and since it only has one season it can’t drag on for too long so the story flows in a better way.
Right now, though, the series that has my full attention is The Penguin. I thought I was completely burnt out on the superhero genre, but thankfully the series is much more like a mob drama than anything else. And not just any mob drama, it’s a reallyyyy good one. If you’re into that kind of thing, it’s definitely worth a watch.
