I read it originally was gonna be five, but they are cutting budgets down, so two it is.
Not sure I agree on this one, so far Jon Hamm is just replaying Don Draper.
Well, I never saw Mad Men so it’s new to me I guess.
Try it, I think you would like it. Entertaining and really hits the 50’s dead on.

The kid part kind of sucked, but at the same time it was a predictable move. The Penguin only cares about 2 things: himself and his mother. Everything and everyone else is simply a means to his ends. They are all expendable.
More than the show itself, I thought the character was mesmerizing. The performance, the character itself…simply masterful.

I just did a search on here and it doesnt look like the show has been discussed.
I watch a lot of foreign show/films with subtitiles. I know some abhor them, but I often prefer the European approach to story telling and character development. Their shows often tend to not be over-produced.
The German show Dark (Netflix) is one of my favorite shows of all time. The characters are rich. The plot stretches the abilities of one’s mind to theorize what is/isnt possible. The mood/setting is seind to none. The acting is fantastic.
From beginning to end the show is unpredictable. Its up there with Breaking Bad in terms of its mastery of storytelling, where it feels like the writers maintained a cobesive vision from start to finish.

60’s?
True, but the first part of the 60’s was a hold over from the business styles and mindset of the 50’s until us Babyboomers turned their world upside down. Mad Men cover that too in the later seasons.
The first few seasons are worth checking out.
Finished “The Are Murders” on Netflix. Pretty good, almost needed a blanket, it was always cold.
Season 1 of Dark Winds was solid
I’ll tell you what …

MurderBot on AppleTV+ is really good. Funny Sci-Fi.
IMO all of the so called sci fi movies none come close to the 2001 Space Odissey or even Planet of the Apes.
Stanley Kubrick was a genius filmaker, story teller. Think about it. The movie only won one academy award for visual effect. CRAZY

2001 started it all. I can remember the lines of people waiting to buy tickets. The movie left my generation with our minds blown. No one had ever seen anything like it before.

I do.
Barely.
I just looked it up and apparently it ran through 1988… but I obviously wasn’t paying attention at the time. I just want watching it.
I’ve never seen Celebrity Bowling until today. It’s really… something. I watched a little with my son… he pictures our lives in the 1970s like our grandparents’ lives in the Dust Bowl. Like we were barely surviving… analog 13" B/W TV sets and only four channels, he respects our generation for making it out alive.
