Have you checked out the whole “Noir” genre? Burnt out old schlubby heros who look like bad guys is a whole thing there. Humphrey Bogart in the Maltese Falcon, Terriers for a more modern take.
Yeah there are like 40 of them but you can split them up in to series. If you liked The Truth you’ll probably like the Watch series starting with Guards! Guards! and following Sam Vines and the other Watchmen.
I’m going through the Discworld series for the first time right now. I’m going in chronological order but when I finish I’ll probably go through them again eventually but I think I’ll do series instead in bunches. I’m already looking forward to rereading the Watch series back to back.
Just ripped through The Recruit season one to be ready for season two Light and breezy spy drama which I got to say is fun and just serious enough to be worth watching Aside from that I decided to hit the wayback and watch the first season of Columbo Fuck the late 60 were a time! And Peter Faulk was a serious star from the start I’m really digging it As the first season was all ‘movie of the week’s it’s nice seeing a whole story in a tight 90 minutes that still feels full
Yeah it really like it It just need a bit of polishing in the hairs and such
I really enjoyed Flow a lot more than I expected The soundtrack and plotting were evocative I just had a problem with the animation, the idea were great, the design was good, the animals all felt real, but it felt like it needed to be run through the renderer a couple more times Everything was bit flat and the lighting seemed a little off and it didn’t feel like that was the look they were going for, just that they didn’t have a big enough budget I’m looking forward to see what’s next from the production team though.
Aww that’s no fun.
I’ve been on late aughts basic cable dramas lately. After finishing Leverage I’ve rolled onto Burn Notice. Very fun and light and god damn but Bruce Campbell is an American treasure. “Spies, a bunch of bitchy little girls.”
But it is the fact that it will end that gives our life meaning. If we didn’t know that it’ll end our lives would just be an endless loop where because it all happens nothing will matter. As Todd May says “One has a place in the cosmic process of which one’s own existence is a fleeting moment, but a moment nonetheless”
The US Ghosts is so stupid… and so fun. I can’t get enough of Hetty and her gilded age “I’m rich and you’re not” attitude and her love of cocaine.
Overcooked has couch co-op Right? I’ve been looking for a new game to play with my son. If it’s still available I’d be really grateful
I’d recommend giving season 4 a go. It’s got a new show runner and Jodie Foster is amazingly good in it. And it’s creepy a fuck in a good tension building way. And it’s setting really notches up the whole thing.
