A friend whose opinions I value highly raves about Terriers. I hope someday to find it on DVD or other format.

Deutschland 83: another Cold War spy story. This time, itās Ossis v. Wessis. Liking it a lot after the first 2 (of 8) episodes. Nice use of music here too, but could do with some Nina Hagen (no idea if my wish will be granted).
The Get Down: I never would have thought to watch this but my SO wanted to give it a go. And it turns out to be really good, albeit with some moments of haut fromage. The birth of hip-hop in the Bronx in the 70s, dramatized, with some good kitchen-sink melodrama and some flights of fancy. Edit: um, of course yes, I did read the OP. I really did. A while ago.

I see what you mean about season 2 going downhill. Eva Green was phenomenal throughout, though.
It definitely passes the Bechdel test (maybe not with flying colors): Vanessa and Joan Clayton converse, for example, and not about men.
And season 2 is not the end! Season 3 just isnāt on Netflix yet.

Youāll get your Nina, donāt worry 
After I made my comment, it occurred to me that Vanessa may have had such a conversation with the Cut Wife, or her reincarnation, Dr. Seward, & that I had simply forgotten.
Still, the disappointment is papable; itās like the writers just didnāt care anymore and started phoning it in; pretty much the entire 2nd season.

I was pleasantly surprised by the show. It brings back some of the fun that was the best part of the early Stargate shows while still keeping the story complex. I may prefer the first seasonās opening sequence, but Iām only on episode 2 of this season and the new openerās in-your-face cheesiness is growing on me.

I concur, but itās a minor quibble.
Right now, Iām more concerned about Pawter Simms murder, and what impact thatās going to have on John Jacoby.

Done with season two of Bosch and looking forward to more.
I wish someone would option the rights to Chelsea Cainās Heartsick trilogy. I think it could be great.

Have you seen Hand of God? I exactly canāt put my finger on why I associate it with Bosch, but I think if you liked one, you might like the other.

Still working on Season 3 of Vikings, but now also finally getting started on Stranger Things. Two episodes in, and having to restrain myself from just staying up the rest of the night to finish it

Wow. Just hit S03E11 and S03E12. Too realā¦ Some of it hits too close to home.

I associate the two because I didnāt really notice Bosch until Hand of God. And I only noticed Hand of God because Ron Perlman.

Oh, I saw Jennyās Wedding over the weekend because I found out Alexis Bledel was in it. I wish it had more of Alexisās character in it but the movie was still great (on a scale of one to I cried a lot ā¦ 
).

ETA:
I neednāt have worried; Iām just surprised that the writers didnāt try to draw out John Jacobyās revenge on Delle Saya for killing the woman he loves. But now Iām skeptical that she will actually stay dead.)

Anyone else been watching The 100? We just finished up with whatās on netflix (first 2 seasons) and are waiting for season 3 to go up on Netflixā¦
Also, finally picked up the Ash vs. Evil Dead dvd for the first season and itās as amazing as Iād hoped it would be. Bruce Campbell is a national treasure! And I still think young Bruce Campbell and Nicholas Brendon look alikeā¦

The 100 took a turn I didnāt expect and became way more epic than Iād have thought from the initial episode and sort of series description. Full of strong women, tooā¦
Also, itās not just me on the whole Nicholas Brendan/Bruce Campbell look alike thing - itās the chin! Very different eyes, thoughā¦

Does it pass the Bechdel?
