TV - What are you watching?

[leggo PE]

Technically, we casted it to our tv via a Chromecast, but! The Bike Film Festival! It was amazing. Please check it out if you like really good stories that have a point of view, are extremely well told and well done, and oh yeah, have something to do with bikes, but are often about so much more. Go check out my post the EB Cycling Thread for a more in depth take on the what I saw watching the film festival this past weekend.

Seriously, it’s not just about bikes going through random places (which I understand may not interest everyone). It’s about human stories. I’d say it would probably be engaging for families with kids of preteen age and above if I had to guess!

Final Space is probably the most underappreciated adult cartoon on TV right now.

I binge watched all of Yellowstone this past weekend after Paramount Network did a marathon. Good show, though I cannot get past the fact that the daughter is in her mid 40's and definitely looks it, but is supposed to be 35. No real duds in the cast, Kevin Costner and all the other actors do a pretty solid job, especially the ranch hands. Huge cliffhanger at the end of Season 3, looking forward to Season 4 which will hopefully be out this summer.

I mean, shows have 30 year olds playing teenagers all the time, so what’s the difference here? Seems about accurate to me, ha.

And those are terrible too, lol. She's just an older looking actress - she could more easily pass for 50 than for 35, but they seem to bring up her age in the show A LOT, so it just throws me off. She also plays a super smart, stock market/investment mastermind, so that just makes it feel like she's older than mid 30's, too.

Started Clickbait on Netflix. Miniseries, first episode was really good. Guy gets kidnapped and shows up on Youtube bloody and beaten, holding a sign that says he abuses women and killed someone. Family and police are in a rush to find him, with focus on the sister and wife, before he gets killed when it reaches 5M views. Very odd sexual tension/closeness between the brother and sister may be leading towards a reveal that he was in fact abusive, etc. Not sure where this one is going to go, whether he was actually killed, etc. Worth a watch, at least so far!

that one popped up in the recommendation list when I logged in last week. I didn't catch the entire trailer so it confused me a little.

On Season 1 - 4th episode. Pretty good so far.

Dark was really good, but you cannot watch it half-heartedly or wait a long time between episodes. Timelines/characters become REALLY difficult to follow if you do.

Thanks. We've watched 4 episodes in 2 days. Hopefully we can maintain that pace.

Yellowstone - new season just about as good as the rest, though Episode 3 was a little slow.

Dexter - so glad to see Dexter back on TV, albeit nowhere near as good as the early seasons (at least not yet). Still, not a bad watch, if just for the Dexter nostalgia.

Yellow Jackets - had no idea about this one until my sister messaged me. Watched the first episode - seems like it ought to be good. Premise is that a high school girls soccer team is in a plane crash, and are forced to survive in the wilderness. Things get a bit "Lord of the Flies" from there, as the girls turn on one another and the survivors are forced to bury their secrets in present day. Has some reasonably notable cast lineup as well - I recognized maybe half a dozen of them from movies/TV.

Currently we're on Season 3 of "Manifest".
