I’m gonna give it a go as well.
I dig it!!!
I’m into it as well.
Wasn’t sure at first. Thought it was going to be all bright colours and zany characters but it has a serious edge.
About 2/3 of the way through Yakuza: Like a Dragon (the game), my concern about the show is the other way around: I don't see how an American-produced six-episode streaming show could possibly capture the intentional tonal whiplash and zany energy of the games. I've been worried that they'd go too serious and not be zany enough.
Glad you guys are enjoying it. I don't have Prime any more so I'll wait until the whole thing is out for opinions on whether it's worth borrowing a friend's login and binging it.
Finished season 2 of Rings of Power. I desperately wish that the harfoot/Gandalf story was its own thing and not mixed in with everything else. I don't dislike it at all, I actually like it a lot, but the show is not spending enough time on it to do justice to their story, and it's interfering with the pacing of the main story they're telling. All the rest of the storyline have already intermingled, so switching between them feels okay, but every time we check in with Gandalf or Nori, it feels jarring, like an interruption with no bearing on what we had just been watching. Still though, I do really like the storyline so I don't want them to get rid of it, just to either tie it in more or let it be its own seperate thing.
My wife and I just blew through season 2 of The Devil's Hour and absolutely loved it. Jessica Raine and Peter Capaldi are great!
Just watched Hundreds of Beavers and it’s unironically one of the best comedy films I’ve seen recently. It starts off as a no-budget spoof of old silent pictures but the jokes keep building upon themselves until it’s just a fever dream of nonsense.
EDIT: aw snap, I discovered that the same people have an earlier movie in the same style also on Prime called Lake Michigan Monster and I had to immediately watch it. It’s not quite Hundreds of Beavers but I still really enjoyed it.

I really enjoyed this one, and managed to catch it at a local theater. There are a number of shows around the country this week, even.
Strugling to get through Cross, have made it through episode three. It's okay I guess, just not what I was looking for. A bit darker with more psychological horror, than expected.

It's in line with the books. I was happy with the way it went. They went a bit deep into the weeds family wise, but they did a decent job getting things setup for this to be an ongoing series
