I am sure this is not what you had in mind, but I for one, am planning on going through the entire Fast and the Furious franchise
I am a big fan of the Rocky franchise. Although I still need to see Creed II.
I have the Rocky boxset on DVD, from Rocky to Rocky V. I am certain to pull that out in the coming weeks, and will stream the Creed movies. Looking forward to it!
Why wouldn't you watch Rocky Balboa which is the best one since the first one? Sylvester Stallone should have gotten his oscar nomination for that one instead of Creed.
Actually he should just stop at Rocky IV. Rocky V and Rocky Balboa don't even exist. They're figments of your imagination.
I agree about 5, but I like Rocky Balboa. I just forgot to list it. I will watch that one too. I meant all the Rocky movies! (Gotta suffer through Rocky V just for continuity's sake).

You don’t have to watch it...but if you choose to...take solace in that the fight on the street at the end against Tommy Gunn is sorta fun. If you can last that long.
“Balboa” isn’t that bad. Really THAT could’ve been the plot to Rocky 5: a retired Rocky making a comeback. Another nice thing about that movie is how they shoot the fight with Mason Dixon as if it’s an HBO broadcast. Nice touch.
I’ve always said that Rocky 5 and Rocky Balboa are basically Pink Floyd’s Momentary Lapse and Division Bell albums. Sure there’s some good moments (High Hopes on Division Bell, the look of the Mason Dixon bout in Balboa). But for all intents and purposes, for me, the “cannon” of the Rocky saga ends with Rocky 4, and the “cannon” of the Pink Floyd catalog ends with The Final Cut.

My favorite training scene is in Rocky IV. Seeing him climb the mountain and then yell “DRAGO!!!!” Is one of my favorite clips of the franchise.
I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.

4 is amazing, and all those Russian scenes, including the mountain training, were filmed in and around my city. My dad is even in the movie, as a member of the Russian crowd at the arena!

We're halfway through the McMillions miniseries documentary. I honestly had no idea this shit was going on. It's almost something out of a Scorsese film.
I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.
Watchmen was one of the best things I’ve ever seen on television, and someone in the Watchmen thread mentioned that The Leftovers is the same showrunner; it also has Regina King in the cast.
I think I watched the first two episodes, thought they were good, but just had too much going on to commit to it.
The premise seems apropos for where we could be several months from now.
I think right now would be a very weird time to watch The Leftovers don't get me wrong I consider it to be in the top 3 of all time shows that have ever been on . I know some did not like the first season but I loved all of it and it gets better and better and better all the way to the finale - something that cannot be said of most shows.
Again though right now with everything going on I would wait , its just so grim , if you like Damien L ( showrunner for Watchmen and Leftovers )
He also did Lost ( not sure how it would hold up know but god damn I loved that show when it was on , even the last season that a lot of people seem to have issues with )
He did the movie Prometheus as well and if you are into Sci-Fi I would check it out great film.
Finished Altered Carbon this past week. Season one was amazing, season two was just okay. It was lacking the “noir-ish” mood and the humour of the first season.
Binged all of UnOrthodox on Netflix this evening. It was fantastic. It was both sad and hopeful.
Am currently alternating between Ozark and Battlestar Galactica.

I loved both seasons of AC but agree, I liked the first one better (plus I’m a big fan of Kinnaman).
Gotta finish Ozark, then Unorthodox! Looked really interesting.

Unorthodox was really good. If you like the lead actress you can also watch her in Shtisel Which is also on Netflix and is in a similar vein, I.e. an ultra orthodox family in Jerusalem.

Someone explain the appeal of Ozark to me. I hear it compared to Breaking Bad and other great shows, but I've tried twice and I can't get past the 1st episode. For examples of my favorite shows ever: Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul, 6 Feet Under, Sopranos, Mad Men, Walking Dead (early seasons). I want another show to love, and sounds like people really love Ozark, I just can't get into it. Does it start slow or is it just me? Crazy thing is I love Jason Bateman too. :(

Netflix went out on me just as I started the second to last ep of Ozark
Love this show! By the way, The Sops and SFU are two of my favorites as well.

Breaking Bad and BCS took multiple episodes of the first seasons for them to get going for me. The Wire I think is better than both of them, and that took 4-5 episodes of the first season to click for me. I think Ozark took about that long as well. It might not be fore you, or you may just have to plow through the first couple and see what you think.

A bit sappy at points but I loved it. Bummed that there are no more episodes to watch.
Moving on to Picard.

Should I rewatch The Wire?
So it is said and so it shall be done. Mr. and Mrs. Juggler will commence with The Wire once again.
Thank you so much for your encouragement!
