favorite current tv series...

[gaby]

DISTRICT 31 disparaitra de nos vies le 21 Avril prochain. Le dernier tournage a été fait hier. Les jeux sont faits. C'est triste...cette quotidienne faisait partie de nos vies depuis 6 ans avec une audience de près de 1,8 millions /soirée soit près de 50% des téléspectateurs. Elle faisait partie de notre ADN collectif....c'était un rvous incontournable tous les soirs à 19h.....et notre soirée était bien partie.

Gros merci au duo LAROUCHE--DIONNE mais surtout à toute la brillante équipe de comédiens qui nous en ont fait voir de toutes les couleurs chaque soir. Nous n'oublierons jamais le Commandant CHIASSON ...pivot et au coeur de cette série....avec son caractère
à la fois unique, complexe, intriguant, tendre et explosif...à lui seul il volait le show

Donc BRAVO et un gros MERCI à toute l'équipe pour une série unique et inoubliable....nous allons beaucoup beaucoup vous manquer.

Just watched Yellowstone and Empire...was very impressed.

Although I have heard Hulu is unavailable in Canada (unless using a VPN), I am going to recommend for all other posters the Hulu series "Dropout", about the Elizabeth Holmes/Theranos scam and fraud which saw many millions of dollars invested in fantasy technology based on the notion that a few droplets of blood could be tested by Theranos diagnostic machines. The series is very faithful to the actually history of events and features Amanda Seyfried's excellent performance as the committed CEO Elizabeth Holmes, who begins to passionately believe her own lies very early on, and then fools people into joining the Theranos fraud train with that passion, including Theranos board members George Schultz and Henry Kissinger, who are both duped into joining. Perhaps the biggest dupes/morons exposed in the series is the Walgreens CEO and his right hand man, who are portrayed as complete imbeciles that are totally played and manipulated by Holmes into sinking many hundreds of millions of dollars into the fantasyland technology.

I have watched the first 5 of 8 episodes. Episode 6 releases today, and 7 and 8 the next 2 Thursdays. I think a Golden Globe Award awaits Amanda Seyfried for her work in the series, which is amazing.

Watched episodes 6 and 7 which are fascinating. Episode 6 focused on the backstories of all the whistleblowers including the 2 key whistleblowers, Tyler Schultz, George Schultz's grandson, and his friend Elizabeth Cheung. It also shows how and why they blow the whistle. Tyler actually goes to Grandpa George about the fraudulent activities at Theranos, but George tells Tyler he is full of Kaka (reportedly Real life George Schultz later apologized to Tyler).

Episode 7 focuses on the harassment of the whistleblowers and the Wall Street Journal writer John Carreyou by Theranos's legal team which includes the legendary David Boies, infamous as the attorney for Harvey Weinstein and others. The whistleblowers and Carreyou are threatened and stalked and placed under severe pressure and stress.

Elizabeth Holmes is scheduled to be sentenced in September 2022 for her crimes and faces up to 20 years in federal prison. By the end of the series you really want to see her rot in prison. She is and was simply someone who believed her own lies- even found them to be profound.

Right now, this is my favorite show on TV at the moment... It's a spinoff from my other favorite show, Power.

I'm really into the urban crime drama shows, plus the soundtracks for these kinda shows are dope.

Wow, another Power fan!

Yeah, I actually got into this when they had a "free" promotion for Starz online for the first season of the original show. I liked it so much that I subscribed for the rest of the seasons, and then followed with the spin off series' sfterwards.

Of course, the original series was the best. I enjoyed the first two spin-offs, but "Ghost" was maybe a bit better. Raising Kanan was really good though.

This new spin-off "Force" is great, since Tommy was always my favorite character in the whole franchise. We'll see if it follows through with the season finale.

I'm a die hard fan of Power, the original show too!

Jamie "Ghost" was one of my favorite characters.

I seriously cannot wait for the season finale of Power Book 4!! Force...aka the Tommy Show. Lol

i was disappointed that Tommy didn't go to the West Coast / Cali (like the finale of the original series hinted at). That would've been really interesting, and a way different change of scenery.

Dunno why they changed their minds (production costs, maybe)? After being in New York, a bit weird to go to a lesser city like Chicago. If it was Boston at least, it'd make a bit of sense (since he has that Boston accent).

On the other hand, I think the actor that plays Tommy actually comes from Chicago. So that may have factored into it as well.

Anyways, the show is pretty decent regardless. We'll see how the season finale plays out: only then will I know how effective the season was.

So I'm in the midst of watching the new (and final) season of Better Call Saul.

I made sure to re-watch all of the seasons before I started watching the new one. And boy, was tonight's episode a doozy....

On a sidenote, I had no idea both Ignacio (ie. Nacho) and Lalo were both mentioned all the way back in Breaking Bad:

Pretty crazy they built a whole plotline on ~ two lines of dialogue.

Love this show. Hope it gets a worthy ending like Breaking Bad did.

Severance sur Apple TV+

Ce show-là m'a complètement mind-fuck. Pour ceux qui ont tripé sur Black Mirror, c'est un must watch.

Un des meilleurs shows que j'ai écouté dans les 5 dernières années.

The final installment of season 4 of Ozark was released Friday, April 29 and quickly rocketed to #1 on the USA Netflix ratings. It's excellent and there are many plot twists. I have watched 5 of the 7 new episodes and have 2 to go. I am not sure why the show has to end now, as it is still at a creative peak. I will be interested to know what the next project is for the showrunner and writers of the show.

New Star Trek series premieres May 5 on Paramount+. The new series is a prequel to the original 1960s TV series starring Montrealer William Shatner, and will feature voiceover intros by Shatner from the original show. This report indicates that the series will have the same hopeful tone as the original series while focusing on Captain Christopher Pike and the younger characters of Spock and Uhura:

The new 'Star Trek' series couldn't come at a better time | CNN

"Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" debuts May 5 on Paramount+. Its producers say the show marks a return to the idealism of the original 1960s series, which depicted humanity's ability to get past its differences -- a message we could use today.

Pretty cool to see another Trekkie/Trekker on this board. Shatner has nothing to do with this show though. It's the actor for Pike (Anson Mount) that does the voiceover for the intro of the series (credits have already been released online). In the link you provided above, I think they were talking about the original series. Here's the link for the new credits:

Also, they've already cast a new young actor for Captain Kirk for Season 2:

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2 Adds a Young James T. Kirk - IGN

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds grows its original series roster by casting Paul Wesley as a young James T. Kirk.

Looking forward to this. So far, the "new" series that have come out lately have been a bit lackluster (Discovery, Picard). We'll see with this one.

OK either I misread that or that article isn't very well written, as when I first read through the article I read it as suggesting that the new series has the opening monologue from the original series, but it seems like they were talking about the original series. Anyway, its definitely Mount and not Shatner doing the voiceover.

Unfortunately I don't get Paramount, but I will be interested to hear about this series from those who do.

Just finished going through Severance recently. A very good show...better than I was expecting, in fact. Definitely worth signing up to Apple TV+ for (moreso than Ted Lasso, imho).

That season finale in particular...wow. Gonna be a long wait anticipating season 2.
