I turned hunters off after 3 episodes, horrible writing, weak acting. It blew it's load in the first scene at the BBQ..that guy is a great actor.

Yup. That first scene was great and it’s all downhill from there.

Last episode is just plain incredible. They payoff is well worth it.

I’m pushing through on the show but I see all the problems with it. It’s hard to not like Travis though on the airplane.

Well I finished Hunters. Plenty of places to take the next season of course, some way too on the nose. What a really strange show this is though. Some parts are absolutely brilliant, most is simply inconceivable and mostly unnecessary. Uneven is an understatement. Not saying it doesn’t work, it does but reeks os Lynch like indulgence without the chutzpah of Lynch. (Had to sorry)

So episode 8 had some really brilliant parts to me. The emotional story is excellent at times. I felt the loss in that scene.

The why we hate Jews games how was pretty great too. Even the really dark ending. It all felt like people talking about Jerry Reinsdorf.

Travis is really really great. From the bowling scene, laundromat and airplane scenes. What a thing he did. He is like the Michael Jordan of Nazis.


The ending though explained nothing if they want it to. I mean they can spin so much of this stuff anyway that works for them. Overall how bad some of these parts are made this show so great. Biff inexplicably is really good at killing people.

Zero zero zero.. unbelievable.. way better than narcos. Best show I've seen on Amazon.

Is there any topic that captures (((Hollywood's))) imagination as much as Hitler and the Nazi's?

6 on a 10 scale. The flashbacks were the best part. But the shipping family was a bunch of losers, especially Chris. I liked it overall but it could have been a lot better.

I liked it, I've recommended it to 6 or 7 friends and none of em liked it.

It had a lot of wasted potential.

I'm spreading Hunters out a bit. Seems more enjoyable that way. Just finished ep 6.

They owe a tip of the cap to Howard Stern on the Jewish game show.

I found that to be particularly toxic. I think it reveals more about the mindset of the writers than it reflects reality about the US. Sure there is some antisemitism. I'd hardly call it prevalent. The writers would have you believe it is universal. Couple that with a show like The Plot Against America and people who are easily suggestible might believe they are revealing truth.

I like the description of the show as uneven. Some brilliant parts. A lot of dull. I like that they make it like a comic book with interludes like the introduction of the characters as superheroes and the exaggeration of truth. However, it gets to be heavy handed.

Don't know about that GD, anti-semitism has been steadily on the rise for a while now. It's pretty prevalant all over the USA and now being practiced out in the open in many places in Europe. You're not Jewish so you don't know about it, but I see a lot of FB posts with articles about Anti semetic attacks happening all the time these days.


Don't know how it relates to Hunters since I don't waste my time with terrible TV shows, but IRL it's becoming a massive problem. Several places now where it's not safe for jews...some of them in this country.

Finally started Jack Ryan this week with all the extra time. It is not perfect but I like it a lot and so does my wife so it makes viewing choice of the night easy. We are due to watch EP7 S1 next. I like how it has a 24 feel. I don't really have an easy time that it is not a book/film based thing. One side note that makes me chuckle every time is how Greer makes me think of Cedric the Entertainer.

Exactly. Jack Ryan was nothing spectacular but entertaining enough to be worth watching. I enjoyed it.

Just watched The Taking of Pelham 123. Great movie. Highly recommended for those who appreciate you mid-1970s movies. Tarantino was clearly a fan as shown in Reservoir Dogs.

I liked season 1, season 2 - not so much.

The Band is one of my favorite musical acts. I rented a new documentary on the band by Robbie Robertson called “ Once Were Brothers”. It was pretty good overall with some great old footage and obviously a lot of great music throughout. Kind of gave me a new look at the story of the group, the movie is from his perspective of course so as with most things the truth is usually somewhere in the middle as he was accused by other members of the band as taking most of the writing credits.

I went back a started Strike Back from the beginning. It's like Banshee but with Special Forces tales. Speaking of tails, wow...but what do you expect from a Skinemax property.

Speaking of Hunters, did any of you who watched it catch the inside joke dealing with the Nazi company?

Recently finished season 6 of Bosch. The acting and production was high quality as normal but the multiple story lines failed to deliver IMO. The weakest season of an otherwise excellent show.
