For some reason this Al Swearengen speech on “despair” found its way to me yesterday. Deadwood is one of my favorite all time shows…anyone else a fan?

[Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot]

LOVE Deadwood

[popvulture]

That show was the best.

In complete contrast, I'll add South Side (on Max) as an option for anyone in need of a laugh. It's a shame it was cancelled, but season 1 and 2 are very, very re-watchable. I've heard that season 3 was bad, maybe tinkered with by corporate powers that be or something similar, haven't gotten to it yet.

[SKT]

I’ve let our “Max” subscription lapse but probably need to revisit. I think HBO set the standard for such a long time.

Hell yes to Swearengen and Deadwood! Also remember watching Carnival around this time… season 1 was great.

[popvulture]

@SKT yeah the ditching of HBO from the name seemed to be accompanied by a low-brow-ification of the channel in general. Bunch of reality shows etc being pushed on the main page. It’s not my fave, but there are some good shows and movies on there. I’ve axed it and resubscribed many times.

[popvulture]

@flannel-slut aaaaaaaa Carnivale was so damn good!!!

[Jett129]

Anyone watching this season of Shrinking? It’s pretty great. Especially Harrison Ford. On Apple.

[SKT]

@Jett129 that’s one on our list. Unfortunately our list is long as we’re kind of in a “season” where we just don’t have the time to watch much.

[Mizmazzle]

We started watching a show called, Teacup a few days ago on Peacock. Really liking it. Like an adult version of Stranger Things I might say.

@SKT penguin is awesome, the new Dune series looks amazing and there’s the Stephen King Welcome to Derry serieswith Pennywise in it. I honestly keep it just for John Oliver.

[Brian]

Are the streaming sites over there drip feeding the penguin like the one here or is the whole season available?

[Matt]

It’s weekly.

[endo]

not bad, especially the episode with Ron Perlman

[Matt]

We’ve been watching it very slowly but I like it a lot.

[popvulture]

Love Ron Perlman in anything

[Gavin666]

Best TV program have seen by a mile - Yellowstone. Takes 3 episodes to get going but then sensational.

[Jett129]

@popvulture said in TV:

Love Ron Perlman in anything

Were you a Sons of Anarchy fan?

[endo]

Noticed him first in 'Quest for Fire', and then in 'The Name of the Rose', and also much later in SoA.

[Matt]

His Hellboy is my favorite. I don’t know why he couldn’t be HB forever.
