@colonelkilgore You will love it

I kind of like that the Japanese from this period center everything around honor and that they don't consider that a life is worth living even in little shame. That small disregard for human life makes them so awesome

the old TV show, Lost is leaving Freevee pretty soon. Dang it lol. I swear good stuff always start leaving Freevee. they're about as bad as Netflix sometimtes

I'm four episodes deep into Sugar on Apple TV+ and I can't begin to describe how sucked in I am. It is as proper a neo-noir mystery you can possibly get, complete with the protagonist voice-over, jazzy soundtrack and a story where the layers of grime hidden under the L.A. glamour are on display. The show wears its heart and influences on its sleeve, even intercutting clips from classic noir films to surprisingly good effect. Colin Farrell was born for this role as the P.I. with quite a few secrets of his own who gets involved with a case that may very well be his undoing.
As a long time fan of the genre, this scratches an itch I've been waiting a long time to be scratched.

Watched the first 4 or 5 episodes of Ripley last night and overall I’m liking it. I’m a massive fan of the Minghella movie from the late 90’s so was interested to see this new take. It has quite a unique feel to it, at least for this current age. It’s very patient, with shots, scenes and line-delivery taking far longer than a modern audience is used to. That together with the shot selection and high-contrast B&W feels like Zaillian has gone for an Italian neorealism feel, which is very appropriate given the setting and period.

just wondering if Umbrella Academy is still a thing for Netflix or is that Rebel Moon all the craze now?

@XandertheWise think there’s a new season of Umbrella Academy in a month or two.

Watched the first five episodes of «Shogun». I loved everything about it except the definitely not Tom Hardy bloke who plays John Blackthorne. He's a bit of a block.
