I watched the first couple seasons of it...My expectations were kept intentionally low!

Certainly not the OG (my #1 fave of all time.)

Havent started S3 yet.

WIDOWS BAY is one of our favorites of the year. We just finished S1 of that one.

We started watching Widows Bay and lost interest. Hopefully the next season of The Diplomat is out soon.

If your a history buff in need of a good laugh - Life, Larry & the Pursuit of Unhappiness...Larry David is brilliant

Watched Send Help last night. Had a Misery type theme. Very good.

Understatement. It's just bad all around. Sucks because I like Amy Adams and Bardem. Its just seems forced and the acting isn't good.

Unfortunate to hear because the Scorcese movie is a classic that scared/disturbed me successfully. I'm going to give the show a chance at some point but I'll lower my expectations!

I've seen more movies lately than tv shows. Obsession was fantastic and scary, Mortal Kombat 2 was a lot of fun, and Toy Story 5 was solid. Looking forward to Backrooms and The Odyssey.

We just caught Ep1 earlier this week...Funny as hell, 1/2 hr at a time is enough of Larry David for me though ;)

I was trying to think if I would have liked it better if I hadn’t seen the original or the sequel. Adams seemed to sleepwalk through her lines. Bardem, through an episode and a half, was not at all as menacing as I anticipated. Really disappointed.
