Thru four eps of Stick. For those that are unfamiliar, this is the story of a hot latina and her huge tits. It's intriguing.

But what I'd really like to see is 

Spoiler

an episode devoted entirely to Owen Wilson beating the shit out of that kid. "Quiet down old man. Stop trying to talk to me about golf or whatever, you fucking loser."

"Well I did pay an outrageous amount of money just for the right to be your coach. And I'm paying for all of your expense, meals, etc., all in an effort to help make you a millionaire by this time next year. So maybe we can practice or something?"

"Shut up idiot. I'm busy playing on my phone. Go away."

The wonder boy's written dialogue towards Pryce is by far what bothers me the most about this series so far. Until last night, it was the absolute absurdity of the $100K upfront, but now it is by far how the kid talks without being checked on anything. This is going to be hard to finish.

Murderbot is a hard watch. I mean I’ll finish it but it is not good.

It is what it is - I didn't expect much.  Won't be any emmys handed out for this one, but I like dumb, funny 30 minute shows and Skarsgard has some pretty funny lines.

Finish?  It was hard to start after watching the first 10 minutes and thinking it was Wilson redoing his character from You, Me and DuPree yet again.  

He has done a ton of work since Midnight in Paris and much just isn't good or different from the other bad roles.

“Hi, Mitts. just a man, regular man” 

guess I’m in minority. I like Owen. 
mom got some thangs on her. 
Mitts is funny 

and the kid is a douche. But I assume he’ll come around. 
 

if I could binge it I would. 
 

im a golfer and I like golf movie shows

She starts in Club de Cuervos on Netflix.

She's 47, so she's in my wheelhouse.

Man I loved Club de Cuervos

Your Friends & Neighbors was surprisingly enjoyable. I was not impressed by the trailer and thought it would be mediocre at best, but I was very wrong.

It’s like a weird combination between Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Out of Sight, and Hitman.

Highly recommended and I’m looking forward to season 2.

I'm rather enjoying it. No it's not award winning but it's goofy, has some funny internal monologs, quirky characters and silliness. It's a scifi sitcom based on a self aware, "on spectrum" robot that punches at both liberal and conservative ideas. 

So, it's bound to ruffle some feathers but I like it.

agree 100%.

It's not Citizen Kane or Seinfeld but it's kept me entertained and has a few laugh out loud moments in each show.

Is Citizen Kane great?  I just watched Touch of Evil so was curious about more Orson Wells

I binged Stick through episode 5. 

Preamble - I'll watch anything with Maron in it and have liked everything he's been in, or at least loved him in it. I also like Owen Wilson. Not love, but been a fan since Bottle Rocket. If you dislike either, this series will be a struggle.

So I, shockingly, love the chemistry between Maron and Wilson. Through the first 3 episodes its the only thing that kept me watching as I thought it was otherwise pretty cliche and predictable. 

Then in Episode 4 it really found its legs. A lot more is revealed and the story started to pull me in. 

Spoiler

Through 5 they are handling the diversity aspect really well. Its direct, open, but they use comedy and its not heavy handed at all. I was extremely pleased personally that they made it a comfortable conversation not a massive issue. They used a little snappy aspects but were respectful and not cliche at ALL. So well done.

It deals with some very heavy issues, primarily loss, abuse of sorts, friendship and family. However, it does it in a way thats comfortable and feels pretty honest. 

Its really well cast and written. I am really glad I didn't tune out. 

I'm loving the plot, writing, cast and the chemistry. I'm pretty suprised I like it as much as I do. 

And Raylan Givens has yet to appear.... and he's a big part of why I turned it on it the first place.

So, it's more serious than I anticipated and it gets way better after the 3rd episode. Definitely worth watching, imo. But this is Surly, and it's a series, so I certain there will be disagreement.

I promise, that same aspect of Santiago was making me really twitchy and is why I almost gave up at 4. Try 5.

I've always felt that Citizen Kane was good, but its' stature is more about how influential and innovative it is.  He used so many techniques that were brand new then, but are just part of visual storytelling today.  

I like The Third Man better if you're looking for more Orson Wells.

It’s a good show. Not great. Not terrible. Makes you smile and laugh

I can agree with this. I'd add "cute" or "sweet", but while I'm really loving it, I openly admit its not great.

Can we stop with the mom on Stick is hot? She looks like Latina Vanessa Bayer with big cans. Pretty good show. My wife loves golf and she’s of course hooked.

Your example is not proving your point for me.

I don’t think people here will judge your wife because she has hooked, maybe because she loves golf though
