I haven’t seen Yellowstone, but most Taylor Sheridan shows seem to be a confused mixture of extreme stoic masculinity, revenge fantasy, repetitive imminent rape danger, big trucks and the cleansing power of guns - all penned by the mind of what seems to be a 15 year old boy’s image of goodies and baddies when it comes to plot and character development.

Just watched a lovely documentary on the iPlayer about pop artist Pauline Boty called ‘Pauline Boty - I Am The Sixties’. Very good. Quite the life and amazing work.

We gave up on it midway through s.2. Loved Kelly Reilly, but everything else was a bit, meh.
A mate recommended ‘Paradise’ so tried a couple of episodes last night. Am intrigued but it looks very American with an unnecessary and cheesy use of west wing style music in key scenes.
Heh, I kind of know what you mean. I watched it all and enjoyed it while also being acutely aware of its many faults which you’ve listed here. Quentin Tarantino did an interview recently where he said something like its strangely compelling while youre watching it but goes nowhere and is ultimately forgettable and hollow which is bang on

What’s the consensus on the new While Lotus? Loved the first two but critics seem a bit lukewarm about this one.

Loving it. No-one will ever beat Armand, but still.

Its pretty glacial so far. Lot of intrigue and set up. Not fair to judge it on just 3 episodes really.

I’m enjoying it. Each episode seems to be 2 hours long (in a good way). As good as the 1st or 2nd seasons? Time will tell, they were both pretty brilliant and the lack of Jennifer Coolidge is a huge gap to fill.
I’m personally pretty lukewarm on the current season of Severance. It’s coming across as quirky for the sake of quirky with plotless intrigue. I’d be happy to be proven wrong as the season progresses though.

Yup the Armond character was genius. Murray Bartlett is excellent in everything he is in.

Watched this the other day which gives you a bit of insight into the producer and how it all happened

He knows exactly what he’s doing, and I respect it. Not sure I’m enjoying this season as much though tbh.

Yeah, it needs to kick into gear. I thought the latest episode might be when something actually happens but its starting to get a bit frustrating
