Forget to check out the new thread for the month until now. Will definitely be watching these:
Sorry For Your Loss
Mr. Robot
El Camino
Silicon Valley
Might check out Nancy Drew (and likely regret it later ala Riverdale?). Plus whatever else I hear is good I guess.

The entire Joanie/Ben part was so fucking stupid and forced though. Both characters are absolutely batshit insane and literally don't act like a real human. I also still don't understand where all this is going.

AV Club brought up a good point re: Joanie and the release form - either she signed her name as Gertrude so it wouldn't be binding, or she signed her real name while under cover, which, lol
I can understand why you'd feel that way, but I loved their interactions. Ben is a fun character to watch. She has some good acting moments but sometimes she's super fake.
Legacies S2 OT is up:
So this is not a new TV show but this feels like the most appropriate thread to post about this right now...
I am binge watching ER for the first time ever and I'm reaching the end of Season 8 and I am a complete wreck right now crying like a baby in front of my tv...
I can't remember the last time a TV/Movie made my cry but holy shit...

I'm finishing up the episode "On the Beach" where Mark Green dies and Fuuuuuuuuuuuckkkkk
I had the scratchy throat for most of the episode but the fucking montage of "Over the Rainbow" playing over images of his familly and him walking around the empty ER completely BROKE me.... Holy shit....

I just watched ep. 1 and it is my kinda jam; 70s kung fu flick set in Mexico. Sign me uuuuuuuuuuuuuup.
Dude, you'll love it. Some good twists and turns. The lore is GREAT and it's super Mexican. The culture comes through admirably.

There's an OT
Nope. People usually just use the monthly TV threads to talk about it.

Hulu's Looking for Alaska getting some good, even great early reviews: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/looking_for_alaska/s01
Can't wait for that sweet, sweet teen melodrama.

Finished watching Seis Manos on Netflix and overall really enjoyed this series
It plays to its strengths with good villains, brutal action, and some nice twists. It's clearly set up for the story to continue, so hopefully it comes back for another season.

Living With Yourself seems to be getting solid reviews
LTTP on a few shows this month
The Act (Hulu) - 10/10
Loved this show so much. Didn't know the true story it's based on so it was all new to me. The acting is exemplary, especially from Arquette who was clearly wasted in Medium all those years. Not sure I've been this gripped watching a show for such a long time, couldn't stop watching and one of those shows you can't stop thinking about when you're not watching it.
Criminal: UK (Netflix) - 4/10
The strong cast couldn't save this mess. The intense and long interrogation scenes of Line of Duty are probably my favourite part of the show, so naturally I was looking forward to Criminal given its concept. Unfortunately the execution is poor, as a show like this depends on stellar writing, and that isn't anywhere to be seen. Disappointing.

I should check this show out. I feel like this, Killing Eve, and Fleabag are the big recent award winner gaps for me. I tried the pilot for Killing Even and really had no idea what everyone saw in it, never continued. Haven't tried any episodes of the other two but they're on ze list.
And then I was like, oh cool, this should be a fun couple-minute trailer. IT'S 200 MINUTES LONG. Disney like NETFLIX WHO?

I'm 3 eps into The Terror, and I'm not liking that so much of it is subtitled. I don't mind subtitles when they are necessary. Cinemax's Warrior did this perfectly, where the Chinese speakers would blend from speaking Chinese to English so even though the bulk of that show is set in Chinatown, very little of it needs subtitled.
In other news, thank you NFLX (Netflix). Earnings yesterday evening. The stock was at $285 so yesterday afternoon I sold 1 $265 put for $6.20 and 1 $315 call for $4.75. I bought them back this morning for $0.20 and $1.89 respectively. Total profit $883.30. Options are always in lots of 100 each.
