Started ‘Black Bird’ on AppleTV and really like it. There’s only two episodes out at the moment but they were good.

The question is why would she do that?

I thought, outside chance, WitSec but that's off the table after tonight's episode.

Although, to your point, while I think that's really weak [story-wise] it's plausible and would make sense.

I think Jimmy talks her into it.

But I do agree with you. It’s weak writing. I just also think it’s the only thing that makes sense as far as Saul going on. I think her dying would push him over the edge. I think he’d be able to go on and practice law in breaking bad knowing she’s safe somewhere. I don’t think he could go on if she were killed. 

Finally finished season 3 and started season 4 in my rewatch of Ozarks.

The last two Saul's have been masterpieces. Breaking Bad level.

They have been.

That said, not a big fan.  I feel like the series could have easily been condensed into 2 seasons.  I said early in S1 that it was an indulgent, slow burn that would never have happened if not for Breaking Bad.

Everyone that recommended the “Old Man”. Legit

Animal Kingdom, one of my favorites. Couple episodes behind.

Old Man, just finished episode two and like it.

Black Bird. My favorite show right now. Love it.

On deck: The Bear on Hulu and/or Lincoln Lawyer on Netflix 

I just listened to the book for old man this week and for the first time ever the show is better than the book 

I finally finished Ozark. I'm still processing it.

It felt somewhat disappointing but also a bit masterful 🤷🏻‍♂️

Agreed. One very important moment felt rushed and kind of anti-climatic or the ending could have been much better.  Otherwise, I suppose it was intended to make us a bit mad.

Bill Burr at Red Rocks on Netflix. Very funny. 

The end of Saul last night was perfection. Really, really, really good way to end it. 

Watched first episode of The Rehearsal on HBO last night. Idk what the word to describe it was. Entertaining for sure but definitely awkward. The second episode is a little different but more of the same. Looking forward to watching the rest today and tomorrow.

The Manti Te’o doc is pretty crazy. 

Oh hell yes.

What we know is just a drop in the ocean.

I saw that. Got pumped. But couldnt figure out what it was about haha.

But the tagline, and the fact its the DARK producers, I'm already in.

Yep, don't care what it's about. If the folks who did Dark made it it's going to be a banger. I bet it ties into Dark, as well.

I think its about immigrants on their way to america in a boat and their struggle to survive, this is the first i saw of the sci/fi bermuda triangle angle.

Rings of Power on Amazon is really good so far. They've really captured the magic of Lord of the Rings.

4 episodes out so far.  Kind of annoyed to learn there's only 8 episodes in S1, but they waste little time in getting going.
