Tonight they are in Napa where the vineyard owner's daughter is being passed over by Dad in favor of the interloper/investor. I bet they fall in love and run the vineyard together, but I'm not staying up to find out.All of them, duh.

Haven’t seen it yet, but I’m guessing Man on Fire is about Nikki Lauda. Right or wrong?While laid up from knee surgery, I checked out Netflix Formula 1 - Drive to survive.
A great look behind the scenes into formula 1 racing. It will also bring you up to speed on all the teams, drivers, how the competition works, some back stabbing and drama, etc.. The technology of course is amazing. This one series has doubled the interest in F1 in 5 years.
If you have any interest at all, and just want to check out one episode, go to season 3 episode 9, "Man on Fire". By far the best episode of the whole series. Wow!!! If that hooks you in like it did me, start the series fresh at season 1 ep 1 and have at it. It's really good.
Wrong. The series is current day, released at the end of every season, so season 3 was from racing 2 years ago. There are a couple of great plot lines in that show, but I don't want to spoil it. Season 6 should come out this fall. We are currently about 1/3 of the way through the 2023 F1 racing schedule.Haven’t seen it yet, but I’m guessing Man on Fire is about Nikki Lauda. Right or wrong?

Yes, everyone's horrible on Succession, but I'm okay with that because the show's editorial viewpoint doesn't excuse them or implicitly argue that they're really okay. Indeed, it routinely condemns their entire insular worlds, and that view more or less aligns with my own.Finishing Season 1 of Succession. It’s been a slog but there’s usually a scene or 2 each episode that keeps me coming back. The toughest thing is that almost every character is the worst person on earth - just ****ing pond scum. I’m left rooting for an EMP attack that sends us technologically back to the 1840s - all these useless jag offs would either be someone’s gimp or toiling in salt mines
We are truly still in a golden era of TV. Some shows that are on the newer side, don’t make the top 5 all-time but are all outstanding television include:
Barry
The Bear
Reservation Dogs
What We Do in the Shadows
Succession
Ramy
S2 is the peak.Finishing Season 1 of Succession. It’s been a slog but there’s usually a scene or 2 each episode that keeps me coming back.

Carell is a national treasure in just about everything he does. Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis are up there. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler too. I'd like to see more Kenan Thompson. Maybe throw John Cryer in there. I don't get the comedy of Pete Davidson at all.Someone did a poll of funniest male sitcom stars a couple days ago and sure enough Chandler was #2 behind Steve Carrell.
I didnt even consider Chandler the funniest guy on that SHOW. Hahaha
Let's talk about the show that is now on my Mount Rushmore (bumping out the wire)S2 is the peak.
dude. No.So, this appears to be a given. So what does the B1G and NCAA do?
My suggestion would be to bar UM from any post-season games (B1G or NCAA Sanctioned) and put Harbaugh on leave until the entirety of the situation is learned. I'd let the kids play as they have a lot to lose, as does the B1G in terms of $$$. I still want to play UM in Happy Valley week after next. You'd probably have to let the DC go as well.
that's not dramatic enough? LOL, sorry...will deletedude. No.
not here.
Thank you. I take my cinema pretty seriously. Do not want this thread sullied. LOLthat's not dramatic enough? LOL, sorry...will delete
I thought the final season was one of the best seasons of TV ever, for sure. Overall, perhaps deserving of Mt Rushmore, but I just watched The Wire for the 4th time, and maybe its just sentimentality, but nothing is going to budge it off my mountain any time soon (Season 4 is also one of the best seasons of TV ever, IMO).Let's talk about the show that is now on my Mount Rushmore (bumping out the wire)
No bad seasons - and yes, objectively, the single greatest collection of POSs to grace the screen. Not a single, solitary redeeming character trait in the group of them.

I agree Succession was more consistently good, but Wire season 2 has grown on me every time I watch it. I'd rank the seasons 4, 1, 2, 3, 5. 5 is gawdawful in many ways though.The only reason I bump The Wire it is it has 1 bad season, and 1 ok season (season 2 bad, season 5 eh).
Succession had no bad seasons.

Great book- I have been waiting for this!
The lead actor in Joe Pickett was the lead actor in The Patriot. One of my all time favorite streaming series.Started watching Joe Picket last night. 3 episodes in and really liking it… https://g.co/kgs/UpCUiD
My wife won't want to see it so I'll have to wait. let us know your thoughts.Great book- I have been waiting for this!
I liked Joe Pickett also, but just read a day or two ago that it has not been renewed for another season.The lead actor in Joe Pickett was the lead actor in The Patriot. One of my all time favorite streaming series.
Really? My wife loved the book.My wife won't want to see it so I'll have to wait. let us know your thoughts.
While I loved Succession, it never reached the epic heights of The Wire. Yes, season 5 was a misstep, but it doesn’t take away from the brilliance of the entire show that much. My top 3 in any order you’d like remain Breaking Bad, The Wire, and The Sopranos.I agree Succession was more consistently good, but Wire season 2 has grown on me every time I watch it.

I would never argue that Season 5 of The Wire is great, but I really enjoy that season if for no other reason than seeing a completely off-the-rails Jimmy McNulty.While I loved Succession, it never reached the epic heights of The Wire.

The scene where he shows his badge to patrol while "entertaining" that lady on the hood of the car is pretty rich, I'll give you that. But mostly I just feel bad for Beadie.I would never argue that Season 5 of The Wire is great, but I really enjoy that season if for no other reason than seeing a completely off-the-rails Jimmy McNulty.
My favorite scenes of that season are the one with the FBI Behavioral Science guy (who basically describes McNulty when discussing the supposed serial killer) and when McNulty tells off Scott Templeton. Least favorite part of the whole season is what they did with Omar. They should have just let the end of Season 4 be the end of his story line.The scene where he shows his badge to patrol while "entertaining" that lady on the hood of the car is pretty rich.
And @NittanyChris I'm right there with you. Can't give the Wire's slot on my mountain to anybody. I've watched no other show all the way through more than twice, and my 4th rewatch of this show was my favorite yet. Virtually all of the characters feel like my friends.
I don't have the Sopranos up there--I acknowledge how ground breaking it was, but personally, found it harder to connect to, and actually preferred Mad Men.
#4 is a very tough call for me. At the risk of copping out there are several in the running including Better Call Saul, ER, Deadwood, Hill Street Blues and Band of Brothers. I kind of think Deadwood is incredibly under appreciated. A real, original masterpiece.what's your #4?
Season 5 also does include the simply amazing monologue from Bubbles when he finally speaks at an AA/NA Meeting. Out of this world performance.I would never argue that Season 5 of The Wire is great, but I really enjoy that season if for no other reason than seeing a completely off-the-rails Jimmy McNulty.
And didn't see that coming either.Bubbles' redemption in season 5 is the best part of that season, by far.
