Blue Eye Samurai on Netflix. Is awesome. That is all.

[endo]

will have a look @EdH , but have you seen this?

Idris Elba is cool AF, sorry no snakes @Matt

[EdH]

@endo not yet, but it’s on our watch list. Recommended?

+1
Though I'm still struggling with some of the choices they made in that final episode. To avoid any spoilers, I'll just leave it at that.

[EdH]

@pechelman intrigued. Mrs H and I are halfway through, and if the baby wasn’t going to be up at dawn we’d be powering through to finish it. Mrs H even said that she wishes we hadn’t made plans for NYE tomorrow as she just wants to see what happens next.

[pechelman]

Don't get me wrong, I still thoroughly enjoyed it all, but they had to make some choices I guess. Interested what you think when you get there @EdH

@EdH watched a couple of episodes this morning, fantastic stuff! Strikes such a good between wholesome and gruesome...

[EdH]

@pechelman ok, Mrs H and I just finished it. I can see why you have concerns, but after that season 1, I think the show has earned the benefit of the doubt with where they’re taking it. One of the best bits of telly to come out of 2023. Maybe my favourite.

I like it

@endo You just starting? We flat out loved it!

[endo]

@Jett129 episode 9, and I love it

[Jett129]

It’s written by Bret Goldstein from Ted Lasso. Everyone in the cast just kills it. A favorite Harrison Ford video. Reminds me of his character.

[endo]

that's wonderful thank you @Jett129
HF is soo much my teenage hero, Han Solo, Indiana, Blade Runner ...

Just saw that 4 Blocks is on Netflix. Evening entertainment sorted

We love Reacher. Just the right balance of mind numbing action, procedural, conspiracy, etc.

I thought Blue Eyed Samurai was entertaining and would watch subsequent seasons.

My wife and I have been watching "Marry My Husband" on Prime. It's Korean, and it's heartbreaking and funny and dramatic. Some of the scenes are are so beautiful and intricately shot and well thought out, I'm not quite sure I've seen anything to compare it to. The character building is phenomenal, and the actors nail their roles.

I'm in the middle of Season 2, I really like it. The two films with Tom Cruise were already quite well made, but this series I like even better.

[jordanscollected]

@tody and @mclaincausey you both have to be bullshitting me. Reacher has the worst written dialogue in any recent show I've seen. It's laughably predictable and unoriginal.

I also love it and my wife and I watch it as destination TV. Me for Dixon, her for my reaction to Dixon.
