Forced myself to watch season 1 of THEM It's about racism and the occult. West Compton is like an old Forsyth County Georgia. Blacks were not allowed. I don't know if season 2 is more of the same. I may give it a peek to see. If it is I won't watch it.

I watched season 2. Never watched season 1. I thought it was alright. But I like horror shows.
It's a different time period.

I don't. Maybe that's why season 1 didn't appeal to me.

This show keeps getting better and better. Tough to say more than that without sort of spoiling it.

Watching The Perfect Couple on Netflix. Murder mystery miniseries, with Nicole Kidman and Liv Schreiber.
Not great, not bad. That's about it.

It’s fun, kind of like Agatha Christie meets succession by way of Clue.

Might give this a shot. I’ve been debating for a few days. Funny how everyone and their mother is watching it. |

It has promise. Kinda strange not seeing Batman. I understand why he won't be in the series. His presence would overshadow the Penguin. Colin Ferrell is unrecognizable.

It was good.1st episodes are always a little paced to get storyline established. As noted, colin is unrecognizable. Im tempted to lay off until I get a few episodes in the bag. this old-school waiting a week for an episode is weird.

Anyone watching Matlock with Kathy Bates? Its plot is interesting. Matlock seeking someone to pay for her daughter dying from a drug overdose.

Just finished "Rebel Ridge" on Netflix.
One of the best thrillers I've seen in years.

Every time I break and go back to From, I feel like an addict who relapses.
The show refuses to give any answers. It's only more questions. The showrunners have no respect for the viewers.

It’s very formula (every character is given motive and opportunity), but that formula works if done well, and what makes it fun is a cast of likable actors playing rotten people and having a good time doing it. Plus, I will watch anything Schreiber is in, and he’s not even the best character in the show.

Tulsa King is back. E1 & 2 were good. Stalone is a perfect fit for the part.

Is From the complete title of the series? When I search it on my IPTV I get all kinds of series with From in the title.

Yep. It is just From.

Be warned. It will hook you in. But it's made by the same people who made Lost.
You might be better off just waiting a few years for the whole show to end. Cause I'm starting to doubt we'll ever get answers.

I saw this and thought I'd check it out. Come to find out, I already watched it--I seem to do this often. VERY formulaic, lots of testosterone, but very entertaining indeed.

Damn you kik you've done it again. I keep going back. 😡🤬 I'll probably agonize through all aired episodes. At least this time you forewarned me.

Is anyone watching Matlock? It's staring Kathy Bates and Jason Ritter, the son of John Ritter, who's the son of Tex Ritter. Y'all young whippersnappers probably don't know about the great western movie making cowboy Tex Ritter

Don’t do it Jo. Turn back now. The show is a trap. It’s too late for me.
Just forget that the show exists and then binge it when it’s all done in a few years.

Just finished watching the final episode of the season, so ne last plug: If you like dark comedies with a dose of mystery, tangled webs, cliff hangar episodes all while wondering, “how the (bleep) is this going to end?”, you will love this show.
