I could post about this show for days. I hope you're enjoying it as much as I am (Bold Statement but this "feels" [not saying it "is"] like the best TV Show I have watched... ever). Episode 7 was another like... transcendent of the medium episode. Episode 6 reminds me a lot of what Lynch tried to do in 90's (and with Mulholland Drive) but in a present day incarnation, and a little more finely tuned.
I have 8,9, and 10 left. I'm finishing it today (that's like 6 hours of watching something).
To me this what streaming shows "should" be. Why stick to a strict duration per episode? You already shot the scenes, you paid your actors... give the narrative some room to breathe. You're not "projecting" this on a screen. It's data. 1's and 0's. There is so much freedom in the format. The only restriction is budget and people's time... but you shot the stuff already. If scenes work... let them play out.
Side Note, definitely noticing more parallels between this and Brubaker's other work. Namely FATALE.

Just watched the first episode of Too Old to Die Young and really enjoyed it as well! Really love the slow, menacing pace and the soundtrack is pretty great.
I'm with behndy re: Refn, though; loved Drive, but couldn't really get into Only God Forgive the first time I watched it. I need to watch that again

Just finished it. What a ride! Def not for everyone. Probably not for most. But it clicked all my boxes!

The latest seasons of CW network sci-fi/fantasy/superhero imports on Netflix have proven decent, and the missus and I are digging Carnival Row on Prime Video thus far.

I've watched Better Call Saul twice and I'm more than halfway through my second Breaking Bad binge. Hyped for this too. Pinkman's one of my least favorite characters so honesty I wish it was centered on a different character, but I have faith in Vince Gilligan's storytelling.

Wait a movie? Huh. I should finish Better Call Saul at some point. I didn't even stop because I wasn't enjoying it, just got distracted or something.

Anyone else check out the new Dark Crystal series yet? I watched episode 1 - pretty neato.
It's kind of refreshing to see some good ole low tech puppetry these days.

I also thought the first season got actually ok at the end. So I'll probably have a look at the new ones

Watched Between Two Ferns: the Movie earlier. It was actually really good. Laughed throughout. Totally wasn't expecting the Matt Berninger cameo and music

Is it that bad? I was rather interested in watching it, but I haven't looked into it at all yet
