Re: TV Thread - beware, [expletive] can get spoilery
All season I kept saying that they needed higher stakes and once we got the backstory of the Stussys, it made sense. I also thought it was interesting how the theme was living in a "post-truth" world. From the opening scene where the German detective tells Yuri they are there to talk facts, to Varga spouting nonsense, to Emmitt creating an alternate version of how he ended up with the stamps, to the Stussy "serial killer", it was very depressing.
Sy saying "the world doesn't make sense anymore" was probably the line of the season.

I agree with this being the best season of Fargo, which is high praise considering what a Billy Bob honk I am.

Really funny so far.Michael wrote:I'm looking forward to GLOW on netflix which lands today. I remember GLOW when I was a kid so it'll be fun watching a series loosely based on it.
Also, Alison Brie.
Also, Alison Brie nudity.

So I'm guessing Jimmy would take over Chuck's estate, including the 3 million he just received from Hamlin? Chucks last conversation with Jimmy was telling him to embrace his sleazey side. So I wonder if he uses that money to build the Saul Goodman empire.heyzeus wrote:The season finale of Better Call Saul was amazeballs.

Anybody on here watch "Bosch"?
I just started Season 2, and while I know from Season 1 it's not 100% congruent with the books, I just finished reading Trunk Music and am disappointed (just after Ep. 1) how not close to the book it is.
I don't know why they couldn't have made Season 2 just about that book. Or, if it doesn't fill up 8 or 12 episodes, then split the season between 2 books (1st half Trunk Music; 2nd half something else).
Oh well. I'll watch the whole season, and subsequent ones, because I enjoy the book series. Just disappointed because I felt Trunk Music was a good book.

Funny. I'm 100 pages into Trunk Music right now. It's been awhile since I saw season 2, but you're right, the books and seasons don't completely align. I think the years of difference play a huge part.mikechamp wrote:Anybody on here watch "Bosch"?

This upcoming season appears to be about his mother. Of course the Last Coyote covered that so again it'll be interesting to see how aligned they are.
We've enjoyed the show and I'm really enjoying the books
