We just started The Lincoln Lawyer. So far we like it.

We just started it too based upon all the chatter on this thread about it. We like it but have some concerns.

1. does Cisco loose the fake deep rough voice? it was totally distracting in the first few episodes.
2. can't get past the name. I would respect it more if it was called, "Mobile Lawyer" or "Lawyer A-Go-Go".
3. don't buy Lorna and Cisco being an item.
 
I keep forgetting which streaming service has the last show I was watching.
Aw screw it, turn on the baseball game. I can fall asleep to that.

It ain't just the looks in this case (said as someone who can admit that I completely outkicked my coverage). I have a hard time buying those two characters as a couple overall.

There is a couple who have a kid on my kid's softball team that I really want to know the backstory of. He's looks like a slightly younger and hippy version of Brian Posehn. She is a very stylish and attractive African American woman. The racial aspect fairly common here, but looks and level of personal grooming are total opposites. I can't say much because I also did better than I should have.

I like Cisco, but he seems like he should be in a different show. I've struggled with Season 2, only halfway through.
 
I just started Who is Erin Carter on Netflix - not bad

Staying with episodes of Only Murders and Foundation

Watched the latest partial season of Virgin River - it's so schmaltzy but I do like that show anyway - don't tell anyone - the one weird thing about it is everyone seems to get pregnant way too easily

Only Murders in the Building is one of my favorites. You know what I love about it most? My 18 year old daughter is also obsessed with it, so every new episode we get to drop everything and watch it together and it feels like old times. We also pause every time we have a new wild theory; pause, "Ermergerd, what if CoBro is Loretta's SON?!?!" "No WAY' "I'm getting more strawberry milk, don't start again yet, also you're CRAZY!"

If the seasons stop, I will lose my TV buddy or have to find a replacement show. I already have Star Wars with the boys, but I only have "Only Murders" with my Goldie.
 
"Only Murders in the Building"
"ChiPs" (the 1970's original, the one that got me into roads way back when I was in diapers)
"America's Got Talent" (I don't like the current format as much, but it's still a good show)
 
My daughter is watching Superstore so I've sat in on a couple episodes with her. I forgot how funny that show was.

Some of the early episodes in the first and second season with Beau reminded me of another show he was on around the same time called Son of Zorn so I also re-watched that over the last week. It was a live action show with one character, Zorn, who is animated in sort of a He-Man style and he moves to Orange County from the fictional world of Zephyria to spend more time with his half-human/half-Zephyrian son played by Johnny Pemberton who was Beau on Superstore.

The show was the perfect combination of hilarious and stupid without being raunchy. Unfortunately, it was cancelled after one season. There's only 13 episodes though so it's a quick watch if you wanted to check it out.

We never did find out what happened to Dena's birds. I thought they would wrap up with that plot thread and never did. :-(
 
I broke down and started watching Yellowstone. I have very mixed feelings about the show. It's an updated mix of King Learn and McBeth. There seems to be very few likable characters. One one son's family is about it. While the countryside (Montana) looks very pretty, I would never go there. There's too much empty there.

I loved Son o f Zorn, but knew it wouldn't make it.
 
Started watching The Bear last night. Ended up burning through all of season 1 in a single sitting, it was very good. It helped having each episode at ~30 minutes, shows with half-hour runtimes are way easier for me to get into and work my way through. In this case, it made it easier to say "one more?" over and over again :ha:
 
Jumped on the (late) Yellowstone bandwagon now that it is shown on regular TV. Just watched Band of Brothers (again) last week and over the weekend knocked out 7 of 10 episodes of The Pacific, which I have also watched several times.
 
Been watching Swamp Kings on Netflix. Great stuff with Urban Meyer and Tim Tebow from that era of college football. Also, wow, didn't realize coaches spout off so many F bombs to the players. That'll motivate 'em! Though I suppose the coaching culture at most college football programs is that toxic.

There were so many other story lines from that team that they didn't touch on, I was pretty disappointed.

Me too. I can't even make it to church when the Commanders (or someone in their division) has a 10:00 Sunday game. But the rest of the family is welcome to go without me.

Not a binge-watch, but just watched Guardians of the Galaxy 3 last night. A great end to the trilogy.

Anyone watching The Morning Show - it's a cool show because each season gets better instead of worse - the first season is what you'd expect from the show but then the writers dig a little deeper and this third season is great!
 
I never really got the appeal of Pete Davidson but my wife and I both really enjoyed his show Bupkis on Peacock. The entire cast is great but Joe Pesci stole the show and I wish Brad Garrett's character had a bit more time.

There were also great cameos by Ray Romano, Charlie Day, Paul Walter Hauser, Steve Buscemi, and John Mulaney (among others).
 
Almost done with a New Zeeland murder mystery show "Brokenwood Mysteries"

Loki season 2 is great!

I know...right?

Loki and Mobius (Hiddleston and Wilson) are a well acted and written buddy cop duo.

I've seldom gone wrong with Owen Wilson.

Well I finished the last season of Yellowstone. Even if there is another season, I won't watch it. Netflix has the first season of The Chosen. It's pretty good so far. One of the reasons I like it is that the actors look like they actually come from the Middle East. There is no white washing.

Could you post some recent pics of your teeny tiny toddler children? I'm sure they look about the same, but still...

I will! I will happily give a tour of Clan Ursus! My youngest toddler is 15 years old and 6'3" now, so it's a little different.....
 
Binged through season 3 of Lupin on Netflix. Such a great show! Each episode is about 50 minutes but they breeze right by and feel like 25 minutes or so. I really hope they make a 4th season.

I didn't realize a new season had come out. We really liked the first two so we'll have to check out number 3.
 
...not a binge except for single view...Killers of Flower Moon. We survived it, and I guess I recommend it.
