A bit smug, but Phoebe Waller-Bridge (the lead) is imminently watchable.

Re: The TV thread
As a North Carolinian, I assume you don't mean the Altamont music festival. Rather you mean Altamont, the fictionalized city of Asheville, NC, as portrayed in Thomas Wolfe's (native son of Asheville) groundbreaking work, Look Homeward, Angel. In Altamont World, the guests get to open microbreweries and treat tourists (aka hosts) with distain and violence.whatwouldcooleydo? wrote:Rumor has it that one of the seasons will be Altamont WorldZip City wrote:I think they have five seasons planned
(I fully expect this joke to fall flat and yet am posting anyway because thinking of Wolfe World makes me laugh.)

Though Thomas Wolfe is my homeboy, I was referring to the Stones concert However, there will still be plenty of disdain and violence in my Altamont worldblueridgehiker wrote:As a North Carolinian, I assume you don't mean the Altamont music festival.

Asheville as it is now is not the town I was born and raised in (I left in 89, all family still there). You truly can't go home again.....

When they held Woodstock 99 the slogan, was three more days of peace, love, and music. When they hold another Altamont the slogan will be, one more day of bad drugs and violence.

Finished Season 1 about a week ago, and am about halfway trough Season 2.whatwouldcooleydo? wrote:finished the season last night. end left me with a big WTF? Still all in, though left with far more questions than answers. interested to here what others have to saywhatwouldcooleydo? wrote:watched the first 4 episodes last night. It's not perfect but I'm all in
I really like it. The ending of Season 1 left me feeling the same way, WWCD - more questions than answers. Is it time travel ? Is it an alternate universe ? A dream ?
Don't think I am giving anything away by saying that.
I'm hooked.

Re: The TV thread
Just started watching Bosch on Amazon Prime, hadn't really heard of it before but I did read the first couple books of Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch series. We're 3 or 4 episodes in and so far so good.

Re: The TV thread
This is a great show -- on Netflix. Binge watched season one in under two weeks.
I keep it all together for the sake of the kids.
Re: The TV thread
Is that based on the organized crime world of Naples? There was an excellent film about 7 or 8 years ago on the same subject:allisonsdc wrote:

Re: The TV thread
I guess I missed this when you posted. I enjoyed the first season but they chose one of Connelly's weaker efforts to base the main story on and it showed. Still well done, well acted and worth watching and imho it justified further episodes. But it was one of the last shows bryan and i watched together so I haven't even gone back to see if they've done any more.Tequila Cowboy wrote:Just started watching Bosch on Amazon Prime, hadn't really heard of it before but I did read the first couple books of Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch series.
