Just started Narcos.  I thought I wouldn't like it but I am.

I thought the same, but it's good. The Mexican version is also good.

RIP Jessica Walter :(

She played two of the greatest moms in comedy.

No other TV mother was as comically awful as her.  :cry:

I love Narcos. :)

I didn't know there was a prequel series ordered for The Witcher!

It looks interesting.  Can't wait for season 2, in the meantime :)

Three episodes into The Stand. Was really looking forward to this, but am somewhat underwhelmed thus far. Not sure the non-linear approach is working for me.

Better or worse than the 90s version (which I liked, actually)?

The 90s version was very good. As is the book

Indeed. I read the book and saw the show. Both very good, the book especially.

OK based on both of your recommending it, I'll give it a spin.

I 'enjoyed' El Chapo so what is this Mexican version you talk of?

It's about what came before el chapo, he has a minor role.

They must be really confident that the Witcher saga will catch on.

Gotta say I thought the first season was very hit and miss. Big fan of the books/games, though, so I hope it can get better (like GoT did).

So finished watching the new The Stand. Avoid this. See if you can find the early 90s one instead.
The final episode of this version was a whole new addon that had nothing to do with the source material and was really stupid.
[spoiler]Flagg appears to a group of unspoiled primitive tribe members in, I guess, South America, and brings them "evil." to their innocent ways. Mother Abigail rescues Frannie when Frannie falls into a well and fortells her future. [/spoiler]

The Larch

The trailer for the new Suicide Squad film is out, and seems... quite good?

Habbaku

Yeah, it does. R-rating and James Gunn plus the pretty high-quality cast means I'll give it a shot.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

The Larch

Oh man, the Shark-man is voiced by Stallone.  :lmfao:

Didn't know Nathan Fillion was in this!

(presumably small role)
