Exceelent TV Shows

[Teenwolf]

Yup, best show on Netflix IMO.

Season 2, which focuses on Wayne Williams, the Atlanta Child Killer, isn't as strong as Season 1, but still a great season. It kind of gets a little derailed with minor sub-plots that had little to do with the main storyline (a lesbian love affair, Tench's young child being involved in a heinous crime, etc.) and it's kind of a shame they never got to the BTK killer who had appeared throughout the series as the ADT serviceman.

From what I understand, David Fincher was just overwhelmed with the series, and felt it wasn't getting enough love for what he was putting into it.

Thanks for not spoiling anything major for me! LOL

You're lucky I have the memory of a goldfish.

By the way, I had to Google "smear the queer". Tench's wife asks if their son is playing football and he replies "no, more like smear the queer"... seems like Fincher wanted a REALLY authentic 70's experience.

I had to explain this "game" while watching with my wife... she couldn't understand why anyone would want the ball. In retrospect, I'm not sure why anyone would want the ball.

Liked this line from Urban Dictionary: "Play usually ends when everyone is tired or when someone gets hurt."

I used to play that game often as a 12-year old!

Sorry, didn't mean to spoil anything. Again, they're not really relevant to the main storyline.

BTW, all of the criminals they encounter, infamous or not, are authentic. The guy who plays Edmund Kemper should have won an Emmy for his performance (he was nominated).

LOL. A typical game of Smear the Queer lasted about 5 minutes.

I wanted the football to prove I was tougher than everyone else. Since I was athletically limited, proving I was tougher than all or most everyone else got me into a lot more pickup games than I probably deserved to be in.

Since I was athletically limited

just athletically?

I'm recommending 'Lupin' on Netflix. It's dubbed, but if you're cool with that, it's great.

[SeaDogStat]

Huge recommendation for "After Life" with Ricky Gervais... not only hits all the feels buttons but also helped give me so insights into my dark times from a different perspective.

I may have to watch it again tomorrow as a refresher...

If you like superhero shows, “Doom Patrol” on HBO Max is great.

[TranaGreg]

I'm looking forward to the Billions episode (season?) on what's happening now ...

[Gregg]

I am looking forward to Clarice and The Equalizer.

I hope they are both excellent.

Anyone watching Wandavision? Seems pretty strange so far....

yep, but I like the strangeness. The first two were fun if you enjoy classic TV, but I'm glad they're starting to get into the real story now.

I gave up on all the Netflix Marvel shows after they were all systematically cancelled, but started up again because my son wanted to watch them with me.

Season 2 of “The Punisher” is phenomenal so far (4 episodes in).

Tie into X-Men is going to get really interesting.

[The Feral Slasher]

I just saw an ad for "The Young Rock". It looked somewhat entertaining.
