Here to promote Fauda again. It's awesome. Solid plot with Israeli defense unit and terrorists going at it. I'm 6 episodes in. Frenchie from The Boys is also in it.

Also, Israeli women are hot.

Never watched it. 

It’s pretty good. I have a friend who told me it’s his favorite show ever. I’m not going that far. But it’s a good show. I enjoy it.

The first 2-3 seasons of Sopranos are great and I think rival the best seasons of any other show.  4 & 5 are still good, but nowhere near the same level.  I grew to view the finale as brilliant.

So my frustration stands.  AMC should have rights to their own show!  That's like selling your soul!

Netflix has a bigger audience.  They probably got more money for it then they would have off re-runs on their network.

I'm talking more for the current season.  You can BUY on Amazon, or have a FUBO subscription.  That's it.

Saul is available on AMC streaming. You just have to purchase the AMC Premiere option. Dumb that it’s not available on regular app for those with a cable prescription, but Netflix has a lot more money to push around. Plus the international rights.

Not sure if anyone caught it, but last week the History Channel had a 3 night miniseries on Grant. It was fantastic. Good acting with historians spliced in for added context. My only complaint was they really sped past his Presidency.

Not really a Netflix type thing but do any Browns fans watch 'The Titan Games?" Kind of a clone of American Ninja Warrior but created by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Joe Thomas is a contestant and he is KICKING ass...

Anyone catch the Bruce Lee 30 for 30 last night? I really liked it. Even if you know his story, it is still pretty cool. 

For the Top Chef fans on here, who do you like as we head into the final 2 episodes? I think Kevin wins it as he seems on a mission. 

Now that I have the time and nothing really looks interesting coming up on TV, over the weekend, I started the Sopranos. It has been on the watchlist for years, but never had the time to watch all 86 episodes. So, started the journey. I'm 3 in and yeah...it's great.

I think I mentioned it before that I wanted Melissa to win, I think she can take it. I don’t think Stephanie has a chance, and not a huge fan of Voltaggio. 
Anyone watch Chapelle’s 30 minute YouTube special? Wasn’t comedy, but pretty deep.

Yeah, I think Melissa wins it and Bryan finishes 2nd...again. 

I watched the Chapelle special on Friday. I laughed a few times, but found it very deep and just his thoughts on everything.

It started in S4 to get to BB levels. Some of the episodes and the way it’s shot was as good as BB in S5. The “desert episode“ is top-5 for me in the entire BB universe.

Anybody check out the 30 for 30 last night on the 1998 Homerun chase with McGwire and Sosa?

I thought it was fine. They really should have included Griffey in it as it felt incomplete without him. He was also the only one of the three not linked to roids. I think it did a good job of capturing the mood in 98, but they really rushed through oh it was all roids and tainted.

I enjoyed it while watching. But looking back on it, I feel like I only enjoyed it because I love HR mlb stories. That era was awesome. Feel like it could have been better. They focused too much on McGwire. And the interviews with Sosa and McGwire did nothing for me.

So I’m on season 5 of The Sopranos. And it’s a good show.  But I’m not sure was more unrealistic... dragons in the GOT or that every woman finds a fat bald guy attractive in The Sopranos.
