Man, Amazon is putting together a docuseries about El Capitan San Salvador Sergio Ramb Ramos. Honestly, just having that one incredible project to watch makes the entire annual subscription worth it.

🤣.

Seriously, once you start looking at Netflix, Amazon, and HBO, you’d gladly drop $100 just to watch shows without dealing with sketchy piracy sites or terrible quality... 🤦

You’re starting to sound almost like PBS 😬

Man, everyone tries to pull people in their own way, I get it. But look, our Netflix—and honestly, Netflix in any country—is strictly bound by licensing deals, so it's totally possible for a show that's on Netflix here to be sitting on Amazon over there. I'm just throwing out a random example, okay?

So, they're running "Mutual of Omaha" again? ☕

Supposedly this is good... though I guess there are excuses if they've already been mentioned 😉

The Expanse is top-tier, but you seriously have to be into sci-fi and mystery for it to click.

I actually gave it a shot, but I ended up dropping it after just two episodes. It simply failed to grab my attention; it felt a bit too cliché for my taste, and honestly, I was expecting much more focus on the actual football.

Oh, and I completely forgot to recommend this—it might actually be the best thing I've watched in the last six months or so:

I was honestly expecting it to link directly to Superman II.😢

Personally, I find those deep dives into Ted Bundy fascinating... I’ve always had a bit of a weakness for those intense, dangerous types who just go all out

I actually think Sunderland is great; for me, it's more about the vibe of the city than the actual football, but I guess I'll watch just about anything, which explains why...
Man, I've even gotten myself hooked on Chef's Table

Speaking of recommendations, has anyone seen South Wind? For me, it’s easily the best action movie from this part of the world in ages...

Excellent—the cast is top-tier as well.

It's true, everyone seems to be playing by their own rules, from the corrupt cops to the criminals alike...👍

Personally, I’m feeling pretty indifferent about it.
It’s decent enough, but honestly, it doesn't offer much beyond that.
He’s already outpaced him when it comes to heavy-hitting drama series.
I mean, look at something like The Glory...

I'm a big fan of mystery and sci-fi, but I gave up on The Expanse pretty quickly. At first glance, the characters felt flat and the plot seemed totally random.
Maybe I should give it another shot, but I'm just not feeling it. If a show doesn't grab me immediately, I never go back for seconds.

It actually gets good starting with the second season.
The first season is just pure chaos.

The Expanse takes a minute to get moving; those first 5 or 6 episodes feel painfully slow. But once it hits its stride, it just keeps getting better. Since Amazon took over, I’m guessing the production value will actually look decent for once, unlike that budget they were working with on Syfy.

Anyway, I’m just finishing up the second book, and honestly, I'm pretty pissed at how much they changed, added, or cut from the show.

Listen up, you absolute lunatics, go watch the greatest series ever made

Whoever makes it out alive can tell the tale ☕

She turned into such a total pushover in season three, if you ask me.

What are you even talking about?
Talking about Gomorrah?

Maybe The Expanse will eventually grow on me and turn into a solid series. At first, a few little things really bugged me, like that cop who’s always wearing hats. I mean, where's the creativity? Why can't they move past those old-school fashion choices? It reminds me of how Star Trek tries to lean into Shakespeare and stuff...

It's probably similar to when people complained about men's hands in Seinfeld, but still... 😁
