Anyone else watching How I met Your Father? Thoughts? Started watching it cause we loved HIMYM and I don't think it's bad but I'm not sure it's good yet.

I've honestly avoided it cause it feels like it's going to be 2 broke girls bad.
It definitely has some great moments but there's definitely some awkwardness there too. Waiting to see if they'll find their footing. I feel like HIMYM took 10-12 episodes to really get rolling but that's an entire season for a streaming show

My wife and I watched the first season and most of the second. I think it was the soap opera like plot elements that led us to watch it less often. Once we had a full season unwatched on the DVR, I think we figured we weren't watching it anymore.

We stopped watching it early in season 2, then friends urged us to go back to it. I just keep a finger on the FF button for the "sensual scenes that have no bearing whatsoever on the story line". It did get better, I did enjoy it. You have to learn why Beth hates Jamie so much, and why Jamie is different than the rest of the Duttons. I also highly recommend watching to learn Beth's "four ways to get rich" speach, think that is early in season 4.

Just finished Discovery of Witches, what a great show, great writing and great actors
Just finished watching the first two seasons of The Sinner. Bill Pullman's a quirky cop in a couple really good head twisting whodunnits. Lots of little side plots and cases to fill the show, but each one is a case started in Episode 1 of the season and spanning 9 episodes. Jessica Beale is one of the producers, and actually plays the prime suspect in the first season. Set in upstate New York. Not bad, not bad at all.
We stared watching Vienna Blood on PBS.
I thought i would hate Inventing Anna on netflix. it was. pretty good. Dont look up And Space Force are funny.
*Upload on Amazon is funny. new season released.

If you liked the chick in Inventing Anna, you should watch Ozark. She plays a character named Ruth, and is a force to be reckoned with. Very funny show with Jason Bateman and Laura Linny.
Another that was quite quirky was Schitts' Creek. Funny stuff that.

that's an awesome show and oddly enough it's about where I live, kind of creepy right, I've heard hundreds of stories growing up about the law vs hillbillies and the so called mob, never thought any of it was true but you never know
That’s her??? I love ozark. Had no idea. Funny that Ozarks lives there…bunch oh gangsters

I'm pretty sure it's all dramatized to make it interesting, but sometimes, fiction isn't too far from the truth. I figure Hillary was the Don of the Arkansas mob. She reminds me too much of Darlene in that show. It's more a noir comedy than a mob movie, but it gets pretty intense in places, for sure. We loved Ruth. Don't wanna give too much away for those that haven't watched, though. Very funny in parts.
Just started "We Own this City" on hbo. Its good and just started last night.
Just about done with Season 2 of Goliath on Amazon. I'm a big Billy Bob Thornton fan anyway, and some of his "Carl Childers" persona peeks out in this one now and then. Love the dark humor and the one-liners that he's so good at. Some great blues music that you don't hear every day, too, probably because BB has his own blues/rock band as well and likes to promote up and coming artists. Two more seasons to go, and if 3 and 4 are as good as 1 and 2, I fully expect to see a Season 5 announced. I'm seeing quite a few other big name actors from previous movies that Billy Bob was in making cameos and being supporting actors, including William Hurt, Dwight Yoakam, Paul Williams, Beau Bridges, Graham Greene, and Lou Diamond Phillips. Good stuff this one. Billy Bob's really on top of his game with this series.
Billy Bob said in an interview one time, that getting back out of character as Carl Childers in "Sling Blade" was harder than getting IN the character. He said there were some pretty serious psychological effects of playing Carl and getting into the role well enough to be convincing. But he pulled it off beautifully, and that was perhaps the movie that made me a fan. There are parts of that movie that I could relate to so well it gave me some flash-backs when I watched it the first time. But the more I watch it, the more I realize how much of it is BBT's talent at dark comedy. Loved his role opposite John Cusack in "Pushing Tin", as well as with Halle Berry in "Monster's Ball".
I'm still hoping for a movie or series with Carl Childers and Forrest Gump in it, played obviously by their original actors, Billy Bob Thornton and Tom Hanks. Now THAT would be a very funny movie.
