sometimes when I watch shows on streaming that were on network/basic cable, I think that commercials in a way were a nice way of forcing writers to make each episode have a good 3/4 "chapter" structure

that's generous. half the time it feels like they use the commercial break to expositionally recap what you just watched

I only just managed to get to the end of the first episode of Them, with no intention of going back, and we all know what my standards are like for watching things that aren't any good.

Didn't realize Invincible was being released weekly so only discovered tonight that episode 6 wasn't the finale.

Still awaiting Undone Season two... apparently it's coming, but nobody seems to know when.

odenkirk brought it up in some of the press for nobody, he seems hyped about it

I am also hyped though the first season seemed like it ended at a natural conclusion

Just mentioned this on the other streaming thread...
Watched Michael B. Jordan's Tom Clancy's John Kelly Clark Is...Without Remorse on Amazon Prime. It's pretty good, but there are some absurd aspects. In the opening scene, Jordan and his top secret Navy SEAL kill squad emerge in full scuba gear from a swimming pool in the middle of a building in downtown Bombed-Out Middle East-burg, kill a bunch of anono-goons and then as they're walking toward the next stage of their journey, not only is all the scuba gear gone but they're not even wet! Also, how did they get into the pool in the first place? After that, though, it's pretty solid. Jodie Turner-Smith from Queen & Slim is Jordan's running partner throughout, and she's excellent in both the dramatic and the ass-kicking scenes. The actor playing the villain is...a surprising choice, at least he was to me.

It’s a Taylor Sheridan-written, Stefano Sollima-directed venture, much like the Sicario sequel. I think it works better than that movie, and is infinitely more coherent than the second season of Amazon’s Jack Ryan show. It’s just kind of blah.

I still can't understand why ZeroZeroZero isn't more popular

The first episode didn't really grip me; should I keep going?

So many shows about drug kingpins and dead girls.

the gleeson bros comedy is just the right amount of un-engaging to be a comfortable doing-chores-while-not-really-watching show.what other shows are like that?

The first episode didn't really grip me; should I keep going?Probably not then as imo it went downhill after the first few episodes

1st episode's glamorous violence and sadism didn't do anything for me tbh
