Box Set / Series Binging - Catch All Thread

I like the Rise and Fall of And1 episode too. Going to watch the Johnny Manziel episode this week.

The Capture is great fun.

Downloading, ta.

I've basically set everything else aside and I'm ploughing through Ozark, 1-2 episodes a day, loving it. Last season now, getting sillier all the time but sure that's been the way all the way through. I'm assuming the ending will be incredibly silly.

Ozark became a bit too silly for me. I abandoned it during the last season, which is a bit of a shame because it was fantastic up until then. Probably should have ended it a season earlier really.

The great shows know when their time is up (Succession, The Wire) before they go the only way they can which is to get sillier and sillier in terms of realism.

Billions is one that jumped the shark. Its on its final season now and I still watch it - and i do enjoy it (acting, great cast and humour) - but the last 2-3 seasons have been painful at times from a plot perspective. The first few seasons were up there in terms of how good it was. Ozark went maybe one season too long but never really got too silly for me not to enjoy it and, Nige, I really did enjoy the last couple of episodes and thought the ending was about as good as it could have been (tugged the heartstrings a bit) - if you can force yourself back to it, it might be worth it.

Finished a few documentary series on netflix recently
Quarterback - following three quarterbacks(Kirk Cousins, Patrick Mahomes, and Marcus Mariota) during the 2022 NFL season. Pretty good, the details they go into before a game was interesting
Swamp Kings - on the Florida Gators university football team from 2005 to 2009. It's quite short, but it still took me a while to get through
Wrestlers - on Ohio Valley Wrestling(OVW), the largest independent wrestling promotion. Interesting enough from a "look behind the curtain" point of view. Al Snow, if you remember him from the late 90s/early 00s ECW & WWE, is the head booker

The third series of Only Murders In The Building finished on Disney+. While still very good, it's the weakest of the three series so far. It's already been renewed for a fourth series, at which point someone has to ask why these three are always around when people are being killed.

On amazon prime, finished Daisy Jones and the Six. Got through the first five episodes in about two weeks, and took about three months to watch the final five. Didn't help that I read a minor spoiler online before finishing it. It's based on a book that borrows a lot from the end of Fleetwood Mac, so if you're into them give it a go.
Started watching Gen V, the spin off from The Boys. Set in a university for super heroes in the same universe as the boys, and very much in the same vein as that series.
