So yeah, stuck at the inlaws but my loins crave to continue Alan Wake 2. Decided to rewatch season 1 of TD for the vibe and by god I have forgotten almost everything about it except them memes. Just the pitch perfect casting and script.

Also them tatas dear lord even my wife was ogling.

Gonna skip s2 and watch s3 for the first time since I heard Mahershala Ali gave one hell of a performance.

 

[FullMetalx117]

Daddario is famous to this day for that scene, and at least for me if she's in something I'm interested because of that goodwill - like baywatch and she's also in white lotus season 1

 

[MudoSkills]

I watched it again recently, drops off a bit near the end but it's damn fine TV. Season 3 was good, but doesn't come close.

I also sat and watched season 2 for the first time and it's as much of a disappointment as everyone said it was at the time.

 

[John Marston]

I watch the whole thing on a regular basis, at least once every 2 years.

It's the closest thing to perfect TV.
There is zero fat content wise.

 

[Peggies]

John Marston me too .
("Taboo" as well!)

I still believe that season 2 was a trolling money laundry thing. At least Colin Farrell was taking the piss out of the viewers. I mean come on.

Yeah and season 4 is soon too with the og serial killer detective.

I still remember that "you're giving me blue balls in my heart" (sp?) line from Vince Vaughn.

Just horrible.

That first season is the best piece of media entertainment Ive ever ingested in my life. I watch it at least twice a year. Best duo with the best writing and acting and story Ive ever seen.

 

[pachura]

Yup, it was phenomenal. The ending was a bit dull (although nicely nostalgic) and the explanation for monster's green ears was stupid (they should have gone with protective earmuffs), but it was the last TV series I was so intensely invested in - comparing theories on Reddit and so on. The following seasons were a disappointment (Mahershala Ali is a fabolous actor, but it wasn't enough).

 

[Raven117]

It’s absolutely excellent.

(Does Alan Wake 2 have a similar vibe?)

Stephen Dorff is legit cool as fuck in season 3.

I liked season 3 a lot. It's not as weird/spiritual/esoteric as the first season, but still a good watch.

 

[GeekyDad]

Yup, good stuff.

But it also kinda ruins most other series after you've watched it.

 

[Chuck Berry]

He was the best part for me. It was cool to see Michael Rooker as well. I thought the rest of it was terrible though, especially the twist/wrap up.

I actually liked some of S2 because it was just so fucking weird. Also the killer is the kid from The Wizard.

 

[Embearded]

You are god damn right it is.

 

[BlueAlpaca]

Not a masterpiece, no way with that ending. Could've been, like so many shows...

 

[pachura]

I liked season 3 a lot. It's not as weird/spiritual/esoteric as the first season, but still a good watch.

They basically pranked the audience into thinking it would be like season 1, but the explanation was actually boring and "normal".

 

[balls of snow]

Yup, good stuff.

Will test that theory with Mindhunter (never watched it).

 

[EviLore]

Band of Brothers and True Detective S1 > everything else

 

[GeekyDad]

Will test that theory with Mindhunter (never watched it).

I might too. Hadn't heard of it until you mentioned it, and after watching the trailer, it looks right up my alley. I'm always on the lookout for law/legal-based dramas. The only other things I've enjoyed in recent times is the Goliath series and Dopesick. Both of those were really good. There are a handful of others, but those two in particular come to mind. I go back to Goliath all the time.

 

[Raven117]

Is…. Is this a yes?

 

[John Marston]

Is…. Is this a yes?

Yes my friend!

With a sprinkle of X-Files and a smidge of David Lynch.

Goliath got batshit in season 2. Season 3 was alright about a water dispute of all things. Still need to finish the series.

Band of Brothers and True Detective S1 > everything else

Finally watched Band of Brothers for the first time about six months ago and yeah, pretty much perfect television. Not a wasted episode whatsoever. No bullshit. And I loved the interviews with the actual soldiers interspersed throughout.

 

[Mossybrew]

Still only watched it the one time, I'm due for a rewatch for sure.

 

[Raven117]

Yes my friend!

With a sprinkle of X-Files and a smidge of David Lynch.

Sold!!!!

 

[Big Baller]

Loved it even tho ending was a bit meh. Never watched S2. Liked 3 enough.

 

[GymWolf]

If that serial doesn't turn your gay son into a straight dude, it's time to accept the lack of future nephews.

 

[SteadyEvo]

There’s nothing attractive about fake tits…

That’s all I remember about it but I only watched a few episodes

 

[TVexperto]

im hopeful for season 4

[Dr.Morris79]

Loved it, that theme alone

Season 2 had some great bits and season 3 was pretty damn good till that last episode, I was gutted, almost shouted at the screen!

 

[jonnyp]

Season 1 is an absolute masterpiece of TV.

Have no idea how they managed to screw up season 2 that badly.

Season 3 was better than 2 at least.

 

[thefool]

Yes it is

 

[John Marston]

Loved it, that theme alone

 

[Dr.Morris79]

You wouldn't believe how many times I played it

Still a banger!

It just hit me, that's Red Dead 2, even better!

 

[Chuck Berry]

Holeeeee fuck this made my day

Same bro I turned it off as soon as she took her shirt off

[SpiceRacz]

I don't think I've watched anything since season 1 that even approaches it in quality. I've heard good things about Fargo the series though. If anyone has any recommendations, would love to hear them.

Season 1 & 2 you watch back to back. Delicious.

Season 3 enjoyable.

Season 4 skip it.

Season 5 looks promising

 

[Putonahappyface]

Season one is definitely up there with the greatest shows of all time imo. Woody Harrelson and Mathew Mcconaughey have amazing chemistry and suit their roles sublimely!

The writing and level of detail alone in season one is what other shows should aspire to be. If HBO ever released a 4k boxset of season one I'd buy it In a heartbeat. I couldn't care less about the second and third season, although the third season was bearable.

Not necessarily.

 

[Raven117]

Yall freakin stop it!

 

[Insane Metal]

It's fantastic, yes.

S1: 10
S2: 1 for effort
S3: 7, it's enjoyable.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

I just remembered, there's a season 4 coming with Jodi Foster. Could be good?

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Yeah and season 4 is soon too with the og serial killer detective.

I should pay more attention to threads, sorry balls

HAHA

not fake, buddy

It should be illegal to stop the gif right before the best part.

OP has to come out and formally apologize.
