Has anyone watched Black Summer on Netflix? It was another zombie show but has "long take" gimmick shots going for that Children of Men feel.
It's comprised of vignettes that slowly chip away to an overall narrative. Characters show up and die willy nilly. It scratches a certain itch. Basically Dawn of the Dead 2004 opening but for 2 seasons. Very stupid and very fun. Just finished another rewatch and it rules.

Bummed but it's always better to go out on top

I watched it because Peter Hyams, director of Sick / Universal Solider 3-4, was behind it. It was a lot of fun, I hope Hyams gets to do more unfettered tv, he's great with horror / action.

Ripped through a Succession re-watch a couple of weeks ago and goddamn that show is a completely different level than everything else out there. Definitely agree it's best to go out on top instead of dragging it out unnecessarily.
I guess it explains why articles are coming out that no one on set can stand Jeremy Strong (dude who plays Kendall).

Woah, I didn't know that. Explains a lot. Those later Universal Soldier flicks are wild.

Started watching South Side, got two episodes in, absolutely loved it.
So naturally I looked it up to see how many seasons there were, and found that it was cancelled two weeks ago. Lovely

Currently watching Ozark for the first time and I’m totally loving it. But this post isn’t about any plot points or arcs or reveals it’s simply about how much I fucking hate the character Mason. This guy is the most daft out of touch sanctimonious moron in the history of television. Every second he was on screen I wanted to actually punch him as hard as I could. Awful husband, awful father, rest in shit.

One of the greatest shows ever Legit it’s like if the west wing took place in the real world (which is hilarious cuz Alison Janney was a guest star)

Real late on the train but the first season of Narcos is really fucking good. The dude who plays Escobar is so fucking good and Pedro Pascal is great as always.
Are the next couple seasons worth watching or is this a True Detective situation?

Came to post basically this, but I'll add that season 3 of Mexico brings it back to form (mostly because Amado rules).

watching [body cam] and this shit is wild as hell. in ONE episode a K9 got shot in the face and then a 3 year old girl drowned and was all limp and blue.
and i just watched one where a woman was giving birth in the backseat of a car while they were driving to the hospital (in the rain,) and they got into a fat wreck as soon as the baby came out. she fucking lost the baby in the car and some cop found it under a seat.
