    Bit of drought with good TV. Poor mans Gomorra might fill a few hours. Released on 22nd.
    I watched the first season right after watching Gomorrah as it scratched the itch of Italian Crime Mob and filled a void. Agree it was poor mans Gomorrah, but it kept me entertained nonetheless.

    I just finished season 2. In retrospect I imagine if I re-watched season 1 again now I'd realize just how terrible it was. I almost quit watching season 2 several times but it was such a short season for some reason I decided to just see it out. It was so bad, it actually became entertaining when viewing through the lens of unintentional comedy. There are so many plot holes, so much bad acting, that I ended up finding it enjoyable for all the wrong reasons. In the finale there is a scene that's supposed to be shocking but I literally laughed out loud it was so bad.

    In summary, DO NOT WATCH.

    Yea i wouln't even mind the plot holes or bad acting if there had been something to compensate. There wasn't.

    There was some hope for season 2. Season 1 was basically just the movie stretched out to a full season. So writers could have picked up the pace in season 2. But nope, it was just as slow.

    Oh well American Gods is starting again on 11th...



    ...i think they lost few cast members and writers. No idea if they ever patched things up.

    Billions is back on Showtime, which makes life a little less miserable.

    Just blazed through Love, Death and Robots

    Most of the story lines are extremely Cultural Marxist to the point of absurdity, like it is an Onion sketch satirizing cultural Marxism.

    But once you get past that, some cool animation and interesting sci-Fi stories. Would recommend.
