For fans of the movie Rounders, this is a pretty cool behind the scenes of how the movie was made.

Going All In: An Oral History of ‘Rounders’

[Brandon]

A bit of copy and paste. Koppelman and the crew did the same interview many years ago as an anniversary to the movie release. Looks almost identical with some new pictures and a new time stamp.

Maniac.   What a strange series.  I don't even know how to categorize it.  It's like the future, but the past, but the present, but not the present.  There is a weirdness about it, that makes it work.  I really dug it, it's definitely not your typical series.

I have only watched a few episodes so far but i like it too.  Its like an 80s movie about what they thought the future would be like.

That's a pretty good description of the vibe of the movie.  An 80s movie about the future.

Bosch is freaking awesome. Been watching S1 and it’s very good

Hmm good that it's consistent, but I hope the latter seasons are better. There is a slight noir feel to the show that I really like.

I love shows like The Shield and the Wire (Bosch isn't as good obviously), so this is right up my alley.

[Brandon]

Uh, that’s exactly what it is. It’s a noir show based off the Michael Connelly LA noir book series.

There isn’t a “slight noir feel”, that’s literally what it is.

What are you using to watch it?

Amazon?

[Taylor]

There are too many excellent TV series to watch. How do you old(er) dudes find the time? 

[Blarg]

Struggling through Jack Ryan simply because the casting for the lead seems so very far off. John Krasinski looks more suited to play in the remake of My Three Sons.

watched the premier of "Manifest" last night on NBC. This is the story of a group of people on a flight that disappeared for 5.5 years that just suddenly showed up, only the people on board the plane had no idea that kind/amount of time had passed - to them, it was just a regular flight. It was very interesting and I plan to keep watching this.

I actually think S2 is better.

you won't be disappointed. there are typical plot twists you'd expect from such an event, but there's some unexpected stuff as well. interested to hear your thoughts once you see it.

Really enjoyed this show. As long as doesn't go too far off course it has the potential to be really good.

the only bad thing about Power is Fiddy's acting. he's horrible.

Tommy is great.

I'm through 4 or 5 episodes..the acting is pretty mediocre and I'm not really sure if I care enough about any of the characters to go a lot further. I'll give it to the end of the season.

S1 is the weakest season. Keep watching

Watching  Mr Mercedes based on a recommendation from a friend.

So good. Great acting. (lead actor, Brendan Gleason, was co-star in In Bruges)
