Anyone watch Narcos on Netflix? Just finished the second season last night - quite the gem. Loved how they laced real life historical footage and photos into the dramatized version, and tried to make it all work together as one.

YES!  It's very good - can't wait for the next season.

I don't know how much I'm going to enjoy the Cali story line. I really only enjoyed when Wagner was on screen.

Don't know much about Pablo, and I've heard that Wagner's accent and certain interpretations of Pablo are off according to people that knew Pablo, but Wagner was a force on this show. The Cali story line...not so much.

Either way, loved the first two seasons.

Watched the first two episodes of West World last night....what a mind****. Awesome, awesome stuff. Can't wait to get outta work and try to catch a little more tonight. 

[JustInFudge]

Samsies on Westworld.  It's some heavy sh*t.  There are times it makes me feel really stupid.  I never saw the movie nor did I know much about the content so I have no clue where this is going but it's intense.  I'm thinking of everything from like Matrix type sh*t to Ex Machina.  Not sure which but I feel like the lines of who's a droid and who's a human are about to get really blurred and it's only going to **** with my head more.

I'm also loving the show after Westeorld, Insecure. 

[SenorGato]

Ash vs. Evil Dead season 2 is really fun.

Awesome show.  Just finished it last night.  Not perfect by any means, but very interesting and entertaining. Along with Billy Bob's complex character, Cooperman's is unbelievably creepy and evil.

Yeah, enjoyed it. Enjoyed Patty Soler-Papawhatever her name..... lol. She was funny..

 

When I watched Billy Bob I kept thinking of the first season of Fargo. Gotta watch that again

[SenorGato]

The Exorcist really is damn good.

Same here.

I know there is probably a lot I am missing.  Although after this last episode, I think I know where it is going...and wished I kept all the episode son my DVR to re-watch.

So many theories floating around and none of them make sense to me. 

I think it just as simple as, the droids are becoming more powerful than humans in the Westworld and now possibly outsides of the Westworld.

I just hope they dont go TWD route of leaving certain characters and plot holes untouched for stretches of the show.  Like Sunday, they didnt show William and Dolores at all.

Haven't read a single theory or review. Wouldn't be surprised if "Arnold" was really Hopkins's second personality, or was the first robot Hopkins created in his own image. 

Awesome show.

That was a goof flip. Didn't see that coming

[Scott Dierking]

Been watching "Black Mirror" on Netflix recently. It is a modernized Twilight Zone from Britain. Some episodes are better than others.

Had no clue nor idea that was coming. Ae they going to replace that character with a host? Was that first character ever a real person or was it only a host? Was there any truth to the  backstory? 

[munchmemory]

Anyone watch "Better Things" on FX?  Louis CK and the show's star, Pamela Aldon, created and write it.  Small moves but very funny.

Bernie was a host from the getgo. Those backstories were programmed into him. Those dreams about his kid were probably memories of early iterations of him. Ford probably was the one that took Elsie at the end of episode 5, because he knew she was talking to Bernie, because: god powers. 

I actually thought that Theresa would be the host; stealing those signals for Ford because Ford knew the board wanted to take over. 

I hope Elsie comes back soon. I liked her. 

I love this show. 

[munchmemory]

Took the effusive recommendations from this thread and caught the first episode of "Westworld" last night.  It is really good and interesting.  Can't wait to watch the rest.  Thanks, guys.

High Maintenance is pretty good, it's only like 6 episodes I believe. There is some male nudity and a gay scene, so beware. Still a good show IMO.

It's kind of wonderful watching Anthony Hopkins play a sick **** again.

Two episodes in with "House of Cards".   Fantastic.  

It is said that every great rock band has at least one virtuoso.  IMO, same can be said for film or TV.  Like Anthony Hopkins in "Westworld", Kevin Spacey give a virtuoso performance in "HOCs".

Just wow. Holy sh*tballs.

Westworld is not the greatest show of all time. But that last 4-5 episodes into the finale, that was a Kubrickian level of mind****ery.

[Integrity28]

Peaky Blinders is Sons of Anarchy, re-skinned for a different country/period. Same construct. Crime family, multiple adversaries, all roads for problem-solving point to the main character, whose achilles heel is falling in love with a good girl with a touch of a bad streak in her, and the moment one problem is dealt with another rises in its place.

I find it more entertaining than SoA, perhaps because of the period aesthetic.

[JustInFudge]

I thought the finale of Westworld was kind of stupid and disappointing.  After total mind blowing episode after episode, it just got stupid.  This kid escorting a bunch of robots around killing off all the humans he works with and he's just totally cool with it...really? 

William being the Man in Black was not a surprise.  

And then the rest was just dumb.

Could not agree more.  The storyline became so trite I was waiting for the car chase.   Instead, we got the obligatory shoot 'em up, with robots who can't miss (even though they are not programmed to fire or comprehend those advanced weapons), and humans who don't even get off a shot while getting massacred.  Just so stupid and unbelievable.  Guess JJ Abrams brand of convoluted confusion was allowed to take center stage.

It was some of the dumbest sh*t I've ever watched.  The entire episode I just kept rolling me eyes and laughing. 

The robot chick who was a bad ass was the least bad ass character ever.  They just pick up these foreign weapons and are sharp shooters?  Then the dude telling her "Die well" - you're not even alive, wtf?  So stupid.  

The kid jerking off to the guys body and his co-worker is in the other room just hanging out doing work?  WTF?

I dont think I've ever seen something so good, turn so bad, so quick, in my life.

Only other series I can remember going off the cliff as quick was "Lost".  Yeah, the "die well" line had me dumbfounded as well.  LOL at the kid proudly showing his buddy that he's about to do the male robot up the butt.

Lol. Guessed you missed that back in the day. I watched 'em all, more than once too. That and 'The New Detectives' were my favorites. Watched 'em all on late night tv, lol.
