Did anyone watch White Lotus on HBO?

I just finished it last night.  I have such mixed feelings about it.  The cinematography, set design, etc. was absolutely gorgeous.  A feast for the eyes.  It was well cast, but with all of that talent, I only found 3 of the characters even remotely likable.  Maybe that is just good acting - who knows?  The story kept me engaged and I definitely laughed many times and yet it also seemed kind of surface.  Like there was so much more left on the cutting room floor.

Anyway, curious if anyone else saw it and what they thought about it.  I did figure out the big question before it played out.  But only at the start of the final episode.

I'm loving the last season of Brooklyn Nine Nine.

I have several HBO shows I need to catch up, White Lotus is probably going to be the first one I check out.

Seen it a few times but now am rewatching with the wife Friday Night Lights. Such a great show.

I haven't yet watched this past Thursday's episode (episodes?).  The season premiere was obnoxious AF (after all that time, THAT's the best they could come up with?), but the second episode was better.  We'll see how it goes from here.

I really liked the first episode back. 2nd episode was a bit more standard.

Finished up our rewatch of The West Wing.

I finished my first watch through a few weeks ago. So damn good! A bit shaky for the last few seasons but still some major highs.

Sorkin left after season 4, and it showed, but the level of acting was so high that they were able to stick the landing.

Good to see Sorkin come back to make a cameo in the finale.

I was hunkered down all afternoon yesterday waiting for a hurricane that never came. I watched the entire first season of Righteous Gemstones (I had watched it when it came out). That show is freaking excellent. Can't wait for season 2.

Just watched the first episode of The Underground Railroad on Prime. Historical telling of the era, very, very well done. Very heavy handed though, no way I could binge this one and not end up despondent as fuck. I will finish it, but I'll take it in doses for sure.

I finally jumped in.  I've got 2 more episodes to go.  I have had to do it in doses because it is soooooo difficult but the rewards are just worth every moment I've wanted to turn it off.  I did physically get up and leave the room for a short time in episode one, I admit it.  But I'm glad I continued on. 

This is probably one of the best things I've seen in many years.  I have not read the book - and will definitely do so - but I'm in complete awe of Barry Jenkins.  This film (yes, technically a miniseries) is a work of art.  I feel like you could dedicate an entire advanced studies term of a film as literature class and still not be able to fully digest and dissect this thing.

Anyone else?  lonestar thoughts?

I'm currently in the midst of 3 series.  Watching with the family, 'm currently caught up on Ted Lasso awaiting Friday's episode 6.  One of the best written shows I've seen in a long, long time.  With the wife, we've just started Season 2 of Outlander.  Softcore porn with a lot of violence and gore.  And, on my own, I'm in Season 2 of Animal Kingdom on Amazon.  Definite SOA feel to it without the motorcycles.

Watched 'Invincible' on Amazon. Pretty neat little series. Graphic as all get out for an animated show though....jeez.

Love this show. Great inversion of the standard super hero show and the gore is mental.

Into the Night S02 is coming, think i'll have to rewatch S01, from what I can remember I really enjoyed the first season.

It's been probably 15+ years since I watched an episode of King of the Hill. I put on season 4 last night and watched the first 7 episodes. I think it might be the perfect adult cartoon.

King of the Hill was an amazing show, and while it was generally popular with fans and critics, will never get the full credit it should.

I'm currently watching the final season of Homeland that aired last year, which is awesome, edge-of-the-seat stuff.

Just finished the final season. Best one yet, and really exciting.

Nine Perfect Strangers on Hulu is really really good.  We've got one episode left.  Great ensemble cast.  Definitely binge worthy.

Also, I'm not at all surprised that Mare Of Easttown won so many Emmys last night.  And now I'm going to have to finish Hacks.  I love Jean Smart.  She reminds me of my mom.

Didn't watch the Emmy's this year, but the results are....off putting?

I love The Crown (currently on Season 4) and I've heard nothing but praise for Ted Lasso.......but still..........two shows taking almost everything? Just feels kind of lazy on the part of the voters.

Ted Lasso

I've watched the first two episodes.  How much longer before it gets funny?

No clue! Never seen it.

Girlfriend started watching it today while I was at work. Six episodes in she seems to like it.

I'm loving the last season of Brooklyn Nine Nine.

I can't wait until that hits the UK.

We're on season 3 of Parks And Recreation (made by the same guys as B99) and loving that. The first season wasn't quite there but the end of the second season really picked up and season 3 has been great.

Does that mean it doesn't get funny or that, if I didn't find the first two episodes funny, then it's not for me?

Beats me; I haven't watched the show.  I just thought it was funny the way you said that.

Anyone watch The Hustler?  Love Craig Ferguson, so that was easy, but the show is actually pretty decent, other than (some of) the contestants.  And the annoying habit that all the contestants seem to have of answering all Craig's "yes" or "no" questions "I do" or "I do not".   

"So, Mr. Hefdaddy, are you the Hustler?"   
"I am NOT the Hustler!"

They all sound like Maury Povich.

I finally got around to watching the third season of Babylon Berlin. Still good, but I think it's a bit of a step down from the previous two (which were really kind of one season).

I am curious to see how much farther they take the show, though, since pretty soon our characters are presumably either going to have to become dead or Nazis, neither of which is ideal for sympathetic protagonists.

My wife and I watched the season premiere of The Rookie last night.  If they do more absurd crap like that, it might be enjoyable for a very different reason than when it started!

I'm halfway through season 1 of The Mandalorian.
I use my sig to pimp some bands from Italy! Check out Elvenking (Power / Folk metal), Folkstone (Rock / Medieval metal), Arcana Opera (Gothic/Noir/Heavy metal) and the beautiful voice of Elisa!
