    Never heard of it. Will have to check it out.

    It seems like more and more off-network high quality shows are coming out.

    You have to wonder how long networks will survive.

    Even though it was blatantly obvious since season 1 of LK, it’s still hilarious seeing Jared Keeso play Shoresy.

    I hope Reilly and Jonesy make an appearance.

    I'm just not hooked on Moon Knight at all... I just don't get it.

    Am I missing something?

    Did you watch just the first episode? I was lukewarm to it until after the second one. I like it okay, but it's not as good as Loki.

    I've watched the first 4 episodes and it's just... meh. Not keeping my interest. I find i have to concentrate to watch it, I'm not drawn to it, or engaged.

    I've watched all the episodes so far. This last one had kind of relic hunter/ Indiana Jones vibes so that was fun. I'm watching along and generally enjoying it but I guess I just don't care about the characters that much and the momentum to the story feels weak. The split personality thing is confusing because sometimes I think I get it and then a new detail comes out. I'm sure that's on purpose but it doesn't intrigue me, it just confuses me a bit.

    There is not a PGA thread (and doesn't need to be), so I'm putting this here. Has anybody seen the 30 For 30, Shark, about Greg Norman? It's good. He must be the most mentally health athlete I've ever seen interviewed. He willingly and intentionally walked Augusta National alone - with a caddie and camera crew - and, AND!, watched TV replay of his 1996 Sunday collapse to be interviewed. What an impressive head space to relive all that and face questions head on. Good on you, Greg. Grace and class, I'm impressed.

    Yeah, I binged it this weekend. I thought it might be too much comedy that would only cater to the white-collar crowd, but

    Yeah, I binged it this weekend. If you’ve ever worked…at any job, really - this show is great. The dark workplace humor hits home even if you aren’t in the white collar world.

    I'm hoping they just did a shitty job cutting the trailer.

    Our Flag Means Death on HBO Max is solid fun. It's the same writer as What We Do in the Shadows. If you're looking for a silly fun show with low pressure to unwind at the end of the day, this could be it.

    The most hysterical part about it is this is based on a true story. I found out about halfway thru the season and it made it way, way funnier.

    Anyone else watching the new Obi Wan show on Disney+? I've really been enjoying it.
    Ewan McGregor has such charisma and has aged perfectly for the role /timeline progression. The little girl they have cast as Leia is super cute. They've done a good job making the androids and a lot of the set pieces have that same feel as the original star wars sets. I'm not the biggest fan of the actress playing Inquisitor Reva, I just don't buy her in the role. Her style of acting stands out a bit compared to the rest of the characters on screen. It was more noticable to me early on, but as the plot has gotten going it isn't as jarring.

    I just can’t wait for the final two episodes when it turns back into baby yoda and Mando.

    I've watched it through the first three episodes and enjoyed it, so far. I'm glad they got James Earl Jones back, and enjoy seeing more Darth Vader story that falls between Ep 3 and Rogue One.

    I just watched part 3 at lunch today. I really enjoyed the sadistic Vader. And seeing what a Jedi could do with a gun was fun.

    It seems you aren’t the only one who doesn’t care for her.

    Like other black people who have recently been cast in Star Wars stuff, she has been the target of serious racist harassment online. It sucks, because her acting is shit. They can just say that instead of calling her the N word a bunch.
