Lead charcter is unbearable. Loved season one, stopped mid season two.
Not a fan of being taken out of a scene due to acting. Love the premise of the show.
I'll give it another go.

My friend said best movie/show of 24 so far was Dune 2 and House of Dragons.
I think Fallout and Gentelman kick House of Dragons in the nards. Even Shogun
movie, Deadpool was good, I'd have to think on that.

All the characters are bad people. It’s like Succession that way. Makes it incredibly entertaining imo
sounds like your friend is a real asshole. Dune 2 shouldn't be anyone's pick for best movie of the year. It was ok I guess. Not sure, saw it a few weeks ago and already forgot the whole thing. That's usually a good sign the movie is nothing special.
Yep, just watched it and it felt like they hired all new writers that had never seen the previous seasons before. No heart. They tried way too much physical comedy, very poor editing, and no depth.
Haha. This was my exact thought. It's Succession. They are all awful people but you still find yourself rooting for them. Probably also a Sopranos theme, Breaking Bad (Walter not Jesse)... all the great ones.
I'm going to have to give this show a shot, haven't really even heard of it.
Definitely worth it. Some pretty raunchy stuff in Season 1 as I recall, which I rather enjoy. Also, Jon Snow is in Season 3, and his character sucks, but he is playing it well.
Finished Immortals Fenix Rising. Or I should say, gave up after 50 hours because it's a typical Ubisoft game which means by the end you are completely overpowered and sick of clearing all the chores on the map. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it enough to play it for 50 hours. But felt no need or desire to finish it. Felt the same way about the last Far Cry game.
Needed a new game to keep me busy and I decided to give Brotato a try. It's a roguelike, but doesn't have as much meta progression as a game like Hades or Dead Cells. Been playing it for a little less than a week and so far I'm liking it. Already cleared it a few times with different characters.

I didn't finish Fenix Rising either. I just didn't think the game was that good. Brotato was kinda fun. I didn't complete it with all characters (there's a bunch of them) but I probably did with about 20 or so.
I've just been playing Apex lately with some buddies. We win like one out of every 50 games lol but still having fun on it.
I'm looking forward to New World Aeternum. Comes out in October.
yea I can see that with Brotato. I've cleared it 4x now, but the runs are a little too samey for me to stick around and complete all 40ish characters and then do it on the 5 different difficulty levels.
Just need something to hold me over till September, lots of good games coming out:
Astro Bot (PS5)
Warhameer 40,000
Legend of Zelda: Echos of Wisdom (Switch)
Just finished Boys season last night. Loved the ending and how they set up the next season, but overall I thought the season was terrible. Was disgusted by the overt left wing propaganda that the entire season was. The entire season was basically anti Trump and anti Republican fantasy porn. Loved how in the end it blew up in their faces when they had their "trumpian" characters talking about using the 25th Amendment to overthrow the President right around the same time in real life the Democrats were running around threatening to use the 25th to get rid of Biden. I'm sure that made the Boys producers start scrambling to change as much of that as they could.
Just binged the first season of The Old Man on Hulu. Bridges and Lithgow are excellent. Can’t wait for season 2
Watched that when it came out, are we getting a season 2? I enjoyed it but it's been so long I've forgotten 90% of it.
Check out YouTube, you can usually find a selection of 10-15 minute season recaps for most shows.
Just finished ep 1. Lot of phone calls. Wasn't sure about it until the final scene. I'm in.
We ended our prolonged vacationlaying in bed watching Didi. We enjoyed it.
Back to the grind. Gonna start The Old Man today.

Couple really good games coming out next few days.
First up is Astro Bot on the PS5. If you recall the original astro bot game was a game/tech demo that came pre-installed on every PS5. It was actually a really good game. Now we have a full fledged sequal and no surprise, it's getting great reviews. Comes out tomorrow.
Next up we have Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. 3rd person shooter comes out on 9/10. Also getting fantastic reviews for single player and co-op.
Both of these should keep my busy till the new Zelda game comes out end of the month.

If you like Minecraft/Terraria, play Core Keeper. It's like the two had a baby. I know those types of games aren't everyone's cup of tea, but i enjoy them. It's on Gamepass, fun game.
I can't recommend Astro Bot enough. I've almost got platinum on it, and it's spectacular if you like Platformers. This game is as good and maybe better than any Mario game ever. I don't normally play these types of games anymore but I've had an amazing time with this one.
The Perfect Couple was a pretty fun murder mystery limited series on Netflix. Some pretty hot chicks if you’re not gay.
Been playing the New World Aeternum open beta this weekend. Definitely buying this game next month.
Is Hogwarts Legacy good? It's on sale for like 20 bucks. Probably about to get it since Gamepass has been very lackluster lately and there's nothing to really play right now.
good game, definitely worth $20. Like a lot of open world games, it loses a bit of steam towards the end, but still a worthy experience overall. Especially at that price.
I played it for like 10 hours then forgot about it. I'd say it's worth a swing for 20 bucks. Speaking of it I should get back to it eventually. Currently playing Wasteland 3 and enjoying it quite a bit, but I'm a fan of turn based games like that.
Menendez bros (Netflix) were some creeps. The Milli Vanilli theme is hilarious so far. Only two eps in.
Started watching the Bekham doc on Netflix and it's really good. Never realized just how down to earth and cool him and his wife are. You never thought that back in the day when they were on the cover of every tabloid. They're both working class kids raised on hard work.
Now when you see them interviewed they have great sense of humor, both very self deprecating and also always taking funny shots at each other.
Very interesting doc, only 4 eps long. I finished 2 of them so far.
Never realized the level of abuse he took for about a year back in England after getting red carded in the 98 World Cup round of 16 loss to Argentina. Posh had to start going to all the games because she didn't want to be home all alone with just her and the baby since they were routinely getting death threats for their newborn baby. How sick is that.
Really funny part from this was David was talking about the chants and songs in opposing arenas and how they started targeting his wife. He says there was one song he can't sing or else Posh will get mad, but then it cuts to Posh interview and she laughingly starts singing it, "Posh Spice takes it in the ass". She talks about how shes sitting with the baby anbd next to David's mom and this song is being sung by 80,000 people.

The premiere of The Penguin on HBO Max was dope. Colin Farrell is unrecognizable but absolutely crushing this role.

Love watching this stuff with the wife, I bombard her with questions. The therapist scenes.
