OOTV doesnt like family comedies much huh? Raising Hope and The Middle are two of the best(possibly the best outside of
Think I’ll be adding Landman to the ban list, which completes the entire Taylor Sheridan slate of **** shows. That premiere was freaking awful!!

Yea, it was pretty weak. The thing that got me is how ****ing whipped Cooper is, but he learned it from the king of whipped, his dad.
Spoiler
I mean Cooper is going to hit the jackpot oil for 10 million a year and immediately tell his girlfriend of a few months that's their money. lol
And Tommy is so happy to get laid again he gets back with his psycho ex-wife and puts up with her hell fire and spending.
idk...
I thought Landman S2E1 was pretty good! A nice setup to start season 2.
I'm enjoying Welcome To Derry. I thought Ep4 was the best so far. Been a little bit of a slow build up but I like it that way. Now that we know everything though, it is time for it to start moving a little quicker.
I saw a commercial for some show with Billy Bob explaining why windmills are bad and it put me off of him.
hey if Billy Bob and Don quixote both hate them..... I mean there has gotta be something to it
Don Quixote was bought by Big Oil?
Careful or he will open a can of whoop up on you.
rewatching goliath and season 1 is really good!! I vaguely remember it falling off later.
several great performances. Billy Bob is great. the lawyer/real estate agent who brings him the case is great! and the girl from the Netflix chess show who's a big star now. I forget her name. she's in it, and she's great too.
Anya Taylor-Joy is NOT in Goliath. The actress you are thinking of is Olivia Thirlby, who does look a bit like Taylor-Joy. She was also starred in Dredd, with Karl Urban, and as Juno's best friend in Juno.
Also surprising given how unique (or not, I guess) Anya Taylor-Joy looks.
Thirlby is also ten years older than Taylor-Joy
Yea, it was pretty weak. The thing that got me is how ****ing whipped Cooper is, but he learned it from the king of whipped, his dad.
I can't see the thing with Cooper winning, it's far too predictable. There has to be a tragic angle there, he's too dumb to get tons of money.
And when the daughter walked into the dinner in that cheerleader outfit it confirmed how hot she is. Jesus have mercy.
This is Going to Hurt - On Netflix
Only 7 50 minute episodes. Some surgical blood and guts. You'll recognize the lead actor as a that guy. Gave it a shot and ended up bingeing
This Is Going to Hurt is a British medical comedy-drama television miniseries, created by Adam Kay and based on his memoir of the same name. The show was co-produced by the BBC and AMC. It focuses on the lives of a group of junior doctors working on an obstetrics and gynaecology ward in a National Health Service hospital.
I highly recommend the book. One of my favourites.
It will seriously have you crying with laughter one page and absolutely distraught the next.
Welcome to Derry gets better every episode.
Extras outtakes video popped up on my YouTube, so now rewatching the whole show.
So, so funny. Easily in my top 5 favourite comedies.
Not sure how to feel about this (other than very old, obviously :()
extras was amazing
The Monster of Florence (2025)
The Monster of Florence case is one of the most bizarre, complex, convoluted and fascinating cases in the history of serial murder. Spanning at least 11 and possibly 17 years, it led to at least 14 and possibly 16 murders, four trials, one trial conviction, two definitive convictions and the trial convicted defendant, Pietro Pacciani, dying in mysterious circumstances before his due process could be completed. It also involved two targeted burglaries of the police evidence room, where several items of evidence were stolen and a string of collateral mysterious deaths and murders of several people involved in the case, as well as strange money transfers and threatening phone calls to various witnesses.
The official position of the Italian police is that an occult group of wealthy Italians commissioned the murders, hiring various low lives over the years to do the actual killings, in order to retrieve body parts, that would then be used in weird black magic rituals.
The problem with the Netflix Monster of Florence series is that it covers none of this at all. Instead it focuses on a clan of Sardinians who were initially suspected in being involved in the murders, but were later discounted as new developments arose.
It also consists of repetitive and rather pointless flashbacks and has a strange fixation with a 1968 double murder, which may not have even been perpetrated by the Monster of Florence.
For a series covering an absolutely fascinating and possibly unique serial murder case, it's surprisingly dull and kinda boring and focuses more on melodrama between the Sardinians, instead of the nuances and developments of the case.
The trial convicted defendant Pietro Paccianin is only barely mentioned at the end of the series.
Unless there's a planned second season which will cover the complete story, (and there hopefully will be, considering Pacciani's mention at the end), I'd say to anyone interested in the case to not bother with this one. Watch the feature length 2020 documentary, "The Monsters of Florence" by journalist Andrea Vogt instead. It's far more detailed and available on Netflix UK or Tubi for American viewers.
But as someone familiar with the Monster of Florence case and who has been fascinated by it for years, I found this series extremely disappointing to say the least.
Pretty disappointed in Pluribus so far. Started off with a bang, but has gotten mostly worse with each episode.
