I've been watching Ripley.
It's enjoyable but it's basically "what if no one in The Talented Mr. Ripley was likable or having fun."

Television Anyone recommend me any TV Shows?

- Start date
People in the movie were likable?
Haven't been a fan of any of the adaptions i've seen, even if they were well made. So think i'll skip this
Yeah, the characters in the movie are very likable. Dickie is a guy who is fun to be around with (at least for a bit) and you can understand why Tom is seduced by the lifestyle and by him. Marge is friendly and warm, Freddie is annoying but in a very funny way for the audience. Tom is weird and needy but you can also see how his suck-up puppy-eyed ways can sway people.
In the show Tom is creepy and offputting, and the others are boring rich people who never crack a smile.

Finished Death’s Game
Very good overall. Fun series and all the stories tied together nicely. Some great acting considering it’s basically 12 people playing one person.
I wasn’t too fussed about the ending and not sure if him restarting means essentially none of that ever happened, which is never satisfying. But still. Also it felt a bit too heavy on the whole suicide is bad thing. It seemed to want to paint it as a very black and white selfish thing that is easy to not do cause you know, it’ll make your mum sad.

Finished S1 of Kin, great show.
Has anyone watched the TV show Letterkenny? Is it worth it?
Yes it is, you greasy haired Chris Angel mind freak looking motherfecker.
It is as good as watching kids fall off bikes. feck, I could watch kids fall off bikes all day. I don’t give a shit about your kid.
I would watch my kid fall off the bike.
Manhunt: John Wilkes Booth is pretty good, worth the investment.
Yes, especially if you're into that sector of history.
Am 5 episodes into The Expanse. Its a bit of a grind so far but seems to have potential will stick at it.
Some people love it, I always thought it was... fine. it's definitely a cool depiction of what space travel could actually be but the characters are in general quite bland. It does get better than the first few episodes, though. Season 2 and 3 are both very good.
Cheers it looks beautiful but needs someone to get behind so far.
Just keep going. Episode 10 will blow your mind.
Edit. I meant episode 5, season 2 haha.
I love Patricia Highsmith but most of her characters are not really likeable in the standard sense. Personally, I don't mind that because they are usually all interesting and explore psychological themes that I think are relatable even if the characters are not the type of Hollywood protagonist that we are conditioned to root for.
Platform 7 is a 4 part British ghost/thriller. I really enjoyed it for the first 3 episodes but the 4th wasn't as good. Still worth a watch if you like that sort of thing.
MUTV Class of 92 ?
Has anyone here given A Man in Full a shot yet?
I'm currently semi hate-watching Bodkin. A mystery easily hooks me and I like Will Forte but as an Irish person, the quaint Irish "charm" is annoying.
I have it on my list waiting to go.
I heard it was a series of Irish clichés looking for a plot of sorts to attach to. It sounds really annoying and I think my (Irish) wife might just hate it.
binned off Bodkin on episode 2 or 3, shite
what was that wolf thing all about anyway? All felt very contrived

Where did you stop watching True Detective? If you haven't seen the 1st and 3rd seasons, I'd recommend.
I've seen 1 and 2 I think.
I know there are differing opinions on this, but I thought season 3 was quite good. Not fantastic or anything, but definitely an enjoyable and self-contained detective story with a decent plot, good characters and performances.
Marianne on Netflix.
Not really a massive horror fan.
I used to think you were cool
I don't see Tokyo Vice anywhere, you'd love it.
In the heard of but not interested bit, I think you'd love Dopesick, Goliath (season 1), Yellowstone (first few seasons), Rome.
Currently I'm enjoying Conan O Brien Must Go, good fun light watching.
Seems interesting enough.
Someone else recommended me Dopesick and I just stubbornly refused to even consider it, and I plan to continue that. Same with the others I think. It can even be really good but if the setting is cowboys/medical I find it hard to care.
Dopesick is far more a legal drama/thriller than medical one.
I just read the premise and yeah it doesn't grab me. I know all about the opioid epidemic and Purdue's role which is already depressing enough.
Escape at Dannemora is pretty good and it’s only a limited series.
if i can't convince you nobody can
It's made me rethink how good your taste actually is.
Looks decent enough, I'll add it to the maybes!
Friday Night Lights!
Five Days at Memorial.
