The side characters in Eastbound are the 2nd best part of the show. The best part are the bloopers.

by razorbacker m

I wonder how much eastbound was improvised? I’ve seen bloopers where Danny McBride can’t keep it together, especially the scenes with Aaron.

This. EB&D bloopers are great, must have been so much fun to be on set making that.

It's not everyone's cup of tea but The Rehearsal is so good.

Born to Bowl is ****ing fantastic. HBO max. Currently at 8.2. The Simonsen story in ep2 is even worse than it’s portrayed. He slept with friends and in the bowling alley from around age 15. Belmont is a bitch and I’m glad they showed it.

Definitely adding to the list. Thanks for posting.


The Pitt is great.

Love the fact that the certain nurse was ready to throw down.

And how they dealt with it. From a professional vs a personal side where both people may be in the right.


Yeah this week’s was masterful. I wish it were the series finale

if you really wish that, you can simply stop watching

Consider the psychological scars.

it truly is astonishing how consistently bad your takes are

I totally agree it's astonishing how bad I fail at life, and just everything in general... BUT you can't possibly think that Gomez isn't a joke of an actor!

like in modern tv, I can't think of a worse performance in any show


like he's so bad that he's good. I actually love when he has lines. it's so bad it's hilarious

Born to Bowl - A24 miniseries documentary airing on HBO max about PBA bowling. Only one episode so far but well done. Has the same narrator as Hard Knocks. Just a bunch of guys trying to chase their dream with little financial reward. I used to bowl and know a few guys that have been shown in the background, so I’m biased. But the reviews are good.

These guys are more obnoxious than wsop poker players getting some tv time. You're bowling(or just playing a poker tourney), dorks.


Top Boy
Entertaining and gritty series regarding a gang of drug dealers, quite violent in parts.

Kin
Not bad drama regarding a Dublin crime family at war with a supplier, the series is loosely inspired by the Kinahan cartel, Charlie Cox's (Daredevil) Dublin accent isn't half bad either.

Piece on the real Kinahan cartel itself here


i've heard top boy is good from others, but just can't get past the epsteinish title


Wagwan, fam?

Top Boy is good, apart from making me start using Jamaican English slang.


Lol I'm actually more familiar with British slang than most Americans would be but even I was googling dome of the terms and could hardly understand anything during the Jamaican scenes.

@Rick, I'd definitely recommend it, dodgy title aside.πŸ˜‰


For DTF St. Louis....

I'm going to go way into left field and say it could be Modern Love. They've shown him twice, and they keep referring to his "everyone seems normal from across the street" line, which, with him being seemingly the last person to do it, makes me wonder. But the more plausible theory is they came back to Modern Love solely to get them to the insurance policy, and it was suicide.


Damn…. That’s pretty good!


No way Jose


I’m sticking with the kid but trending back towards suicide with good intentions. If Cardellini did it at this point, id be annoyed

For sure it's a stretch, and I said as much. Still, the show is called DTF ST Louis, yet so little of it has actually involved the app. Also, was Tiger Tiger ever fully explained? The tough part to reconcile is who rode the bike there at 4AM, and why. It seems like someone with shorter hair, but who knows if that was a female with their hair tied back. But if it wasn't suicide, presumably it was the person on that bike, meaning who else but the principal characters? But again, that seems too straightforward, hence my reaching theory. That, and them having repeated the Modern Love quote several times, when doing so was entirely unnecessary.


Can't believe there's still 2 more Pitt episodes.

15 episodes is a proper season.


by King~of~Diamonds m

No way Jose

Some of the repetitive dialogue is so ****ing funny. I loved the repeated “french” as a verb as well. This show is so great. The insurance physical rap on the bikes was amazing.

Snag it


People who love the quirk of DTFSTL should try The Patriot on Amazon Prime. Same people made it.
