Landman Season 2 was a banger. Kind of a slow burn setting up the last two episodes, but damn.

Also, the dorm room scene was awesome.

I finished it last night. The last 2 episodes, jammed in so many roller-coaster moves; it could have been a whole season of a regular crappy show.
 
All Her Fault on Peacock? A mom loses her kid and 8 episodes are spent trying to find out who has him, why, and the aftermath. Entertaining, but @Blizzard will cry about the plot holes. The cast is good and the series watchable. Solid, not memorable. The closest thing to a likeable character though is the crippled guy. The dads suck and the moms aren't much better. Every parent was a narcissistic turd, even the ones you barely meet.

Get past the plot holes (stomp, stomp) and enjoy if you need a filler in-between better series.

2.5-3 out of 5 colorful drawings.

LOL. I resemble that remark.

I thought we discussed that show here. I guess not. Your review is pretty spot on. The plot holes were numerous, but the show was still binge worthy. Premise had a good hook.

Concur with the rating, 2.5 - 3 out of 5 DNA tests never administered (am I doing this right?)

It appears we did and I missed that one. I didn't realize it was out for a few months now, but I also have been on Peacock in a hot minute.

I think one of the best "ah, just ignore this" moments happened when I thought about all of the charges everyone should catch. Most of those folks should be hoping for good behavior leading to 5 years and not the full bit. The time jumps were annoying and made it hard to follow at times. There were a few points early when I wondered if it was the day of, day after, or any point in that week.
 
I decided to rewatch The Tudors. I started to notice things like some of the actors with small roles were also in GoT. And the actress who played Princess Mary, I wondered what she looks like now because she was a teen when that was made, and she is very exquisitely pleasing to the eyes, in her 30's.

Two episodes into Long Bright River on Peacock. @Muppet @policemedic this one's set in Kensington. I don't know if the TV show is an accurate reflection of the neighborhood (or better/ worse), but wow. I can turn my brain off to some levels of human suffering, especially on TV, but that shit's kind of gruesome.

Anyway, story's moving a bit slow but picking up. We'll finish it out.

I read an article once about the place that made think the reporter had to be sensationalizing the things he was writing about. Asked @Muppet and @policemedic about it, and they laughed that the article was under selling it.

It's a fucking war zone shit show. Open air drug markets, open air overdoses, constant assaults, shootings, stabbings, overdoses on highways.

Maria's aunt lives in the middle of it, majority of that area that is lovingly called, the badlandz are Hispanic.

Dominicans and Puerto Ricans run drug trade, fueled by cartels. Active drug war going on, Maria's aunt had 2 homicides/shootings in front of their row home last year.

I despise going down there.
