Most positive early trend?

[bodyman5000 and 1]

Ah man, that show was fantastic. Some didn’t like the ending, but I was cool with it.

Think I stopped right when it was gonna get good. Probably had a run of good movies that kept us from continuing. Same thing happened with The Wire but we started that again and loved it

The Wire....one of the best ever.
Impossible for me to rank my favorites, but these are a few of my top picks......
-The Sopranos
-The Wire
-Breaking Bad
-LOST
-Mad Men
My wildcard pick is The Shield on FX......that show was amazing, not many watched it though.

The Haunting of Hill House on Netflix has easily joined my list of favorites all time. I'm not even a fan of horror shows/movies and I could not stop watching.

Is that new?

 

[THE HCP]

Speaking of NetFlix, sounds like they just released the 2nd season of Making A Murderer. Been waiting for two years for that.

My thing is, about three years ago, I started watching new tv shows as they came out. People would always say, “You gotta watch this and that!” So I did. Next thing you know I’m watching 10 different shows. Then some get canceled. I’m like, what a waste of time. So my new thing is, is to wait til they are done or close, and then marathon ‘em. Just did that with Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, Boardwalk Empire. So I’m busy always trying not to walk in on a conversation when peeps are talking details about shows I want to see. It’s killing me though. Like the show, Ozarks......I want to see it so bad!

The Haunting of Hill House is based on the book and so far looks like only a miniseries. It's a GREAT show to watch during the month of October and it was released October 12, 2018.

All ten episodes are directed by Mike Flanagan (a really good up and coming horror director) so you get a really consistent feeling from each episode to the next.

Might just have to check it out on this big road trip. Love that genre.

Just watch Ozark... you'll be hooked. GREAT GREAT GREAT supporting cast. They outshine the main leads, IMO.

 

[THE HCP]

Damnit.....what if they cancel it. Like Deadwood on HBO. I loved that show. I have had at least 10 friends of mine to watch Ozark and Billions! Too many shows.

I knew you were a hoopleheaded cocksucker person.

They're making a Deadwood movie to wrap it up.

Ozark is fabulous by the way

If it helps, season three is already confirmed.

 

[BonesJones]

Lol, so its all you?
Im just curious it seems to me the site amd the forums are what you make of it. Ive had a lot of fun on here with fantasy sports, with talking about Zach freaking Collins, the Blazers, Basketball in general. Sure Ive seen some posts that make me cringe a bit, and the off topic side is a little much sometimes. I just dont think its as “bad” as claimed, but I havent been here as long as the others.

It's much better than it used to be

 

[ripcityboy]

If it helps, season three is already confirmed.

Walter Hill, the director and consulting producer who helped start Deadwood. Also is responsible for producing the Aliens franchise, creating buddy cop movies in 48 hours, and maybe the ultimate "gang film" of all time, in The Warriors. I sometimes think he deserves a special award when all the fans at the Chase Center shout "Warriors.... Come out to play!" He literally went from working as a roustabout in the California oil fields, to studying art in Mexico to defining genre film in Hollywood for 20 or 30 years. They don't make them like that anymore.

When Turner gets to the playoffs, I hope he can handle a pass, dribble when appropriate and seem like he's in control. There is Turner early mid and end season and then we have choking Evan in the playoffs.

All the great random thoughts that come into peoples heads and feel they need to create a thread even though is already a thread about that topic threads.

That would make a terrific thread topic.

I'm on it!

My daughter just binged that. Finished it last night. I saw bits and pieces. Enough to get the gist.

 

[BBert]

Who started a Netflix thread on the main page?

Man this place has gone downhill the last couple of years.

 

[BBert]

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned that, in two games, Meyers actually looks like an actual basketball player. He's even played mostly effective defense, and is boxing out on rebounds.

Edit: Oh, I see the OP is "Most Positive"; not "Most Surprising"

e. So my new thing is, is to wait til they are done or close, and then marathon ‘em. Just did that with Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, Boardwalk Empire.

That's kind of always been my thing, wait until something has proven good long term before investing my time in it (I'm talking TV programs, not online forums). Did that with Breaking Bad, Mad Men and Game of Thrones. I've been burned by shows that looked promising and either got canceled prematurely (Firefly, Wonderfalls) or that started great and couldn't sustain it (Boardwalk Empire).

Problem is, even with Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime all producing original content, I'm just not seeing the quality we used to see Sunday nights on premium cable. Five or six years ago, there were so many great programs on Sunday night, I couldn't watch them all. I'd watch some real time on Sunday, DVR the rest and spend the next couple nights getting caught up.

Sunday night has always been my laundry/TV night. I multitask. Throw in a load of laundry and turn on the TV. Now, there isn't shit on on Sunday. No Mad Men, No Breaking Bad, No Game of Thrones, no Boardwalk Empire (the 1st season was great), no Masters of Sex (again the first season was great). What did I watch last night - I rewatched the Blazers vs. Spurs game from Saturday. That's what Sunday's have become, rewatching a game I've already seen and know the outcome.

I will admit, I really like Ozark, but am all caught up. Others that look promising after one season are The Alienist and Mindhunter, but it will be a while before season 2 is out for either.

That is a positive - surprisingly positive.

Meyers seems best in small doses. Throw him out there for a few minutes to give guys some rest, let him do a couple positive things and get him off the floor before the opponent can exploit his weaknesses.

Seriously, he's playing well, and making good decisions (those 4 assists for 3-pointers against LAL were awesome). What's most surprising is he has more dunks than 3-pointers and his only 3-point play was an and-1.

For what it's worth [nothing], I thought Hill House was utter crap. It falls somewhere between After School Special and Daytime Soap Opera on all fronts (writing, acting, directing, production value).
On the topic of horror, I was pleasantly surprised by the new Halloween.

Mindhunter is really good.

Mindhunter is really good.

That’s another one everyone told me to watch!

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

I'd wait on that one if you have others to fill the time. I really like it but I wish there were more. Would be cool if it goes 6 or 7 seasons.

 

[andalusian]

Is this the BBC America Doctor Who thread or do I need to use the "Around the NBA" thread for that? (asking for the wife of a friend)

 

[Boob-No-More]

Mindhunter is really good.

It really is, and from what I've read, season 2 should be even better.

"We also know that as well as Charles Manson, John E. Douglas also spoke to John Wayne Gacy, and 'Son of Sam' David Berkowitz during his time as an FBI agent, so there's a good chance we'll be seeing these guys in season 2 as well."

I'm old enough to remember all three of those, three of the most notorious murderers in US history. I grew up near Chicago and they started pulling bodies out of Gacy's crawl space right before Christmas my senior year of high school. It dominated the local news that entire holiday season.

Unfortunately (for the victims and their families), they have a lot of compelling material to work with between those three.

My brother-in-law was a homicide detective who attended the FBI academy back in the 1970s. He died of lung cancer three years ago, but the Bill Tench character reminds me of him very much, in physical appearance, mannerisms, and especially attitude. I wish my brother-in-law was still alive to watch this show. He hated most cop shows, found them totally unrealistic (mostly with how quickly and easily they solve most crimes), but I think he'd have liked this show.
