Amanda Evans2 said: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 haven't seen it yet, but the reviews look fantastic. It's actually pretty wild to think they shot South Wind for about $300k, just like how they did the Kingdom of Ladovina for next to nothing. For that kind of budget, pulling off a movie like this is basically a masterpiece...

Patrick Martin said:What are you even talking about?
Talking about Gomorrah?

Yeah, Gomorrah.

Patrick Martin said:Listen up, you absolute lunatics, go watch the greatest series ever made

Whoever makes it out alive can tell the tale ☕

Are you telling me you haven't seen The Sopranos or The Wire? 🍿

Season 3 of The Expanse? I basically binged the whole thing in one go. Man, I am seriously itching to get my hands on season 4.

Look, I’ve watched The Sopranos and they’re killer, no doubt, but I just haven't gotten around to The Wire yet—even though my brother won't shut up about how good it is.

I guess I’m just a bit of a skeptic when it comes to these "prestige" American shows.

I've got this nagging fear that after finishing Gomorrah, everything else is just gonna feel like total garbage.

Gomorrah isn't actually all that great—it's just okay. It’s definitely a step below The Sopranos and The Wire.

stop muddying the waters

Ajuto, turn on RTL. 🙏

James Anderson5 said: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...

It's just way too cliché.

Rachel Cooper3 said:Ajuto, turn on RTL. 🙏

Dammit, I totally missed that part, just realized Prometheus was on, haha.

Watching a sci-fi rollercoaster like that on a channel like RTL is basically blasphemy.

I mean, you're supposed to binge that stuff in one single sitting.

But man, huge thumbs down from me for that programming choice. 👍

The Wire didn't actually become a phenomenon until years after its debut, not right when it first aired...

Amanda Evans2 said: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

Where else would you go?

+ Bourdain's Parts Unknown 🙏

Is there any way on the MaxTV (mini) to deselect programs from the guide that aren't actually in my subscription package? I’m trying to prevent my elderly father from having to scroll through three days' worth of channels he can't even access. Am I really expected to manually uncheck hundreds of individual channels one by one through the parental controls, or is there some more logical method for clearing them from the list?

I've already tried using the Chachkalica, but it didn't do a bit of good. ☕

That blue button on the remote

Thanks. The agency was completely in the dark about that.

Man, I guess it just wasn't meant to be for you and Sebastian.😢

Whatever.
It wasn't like I just accidentally bumped into her once 😁

I suspect I might have boosted their YouTube views by a few percentage points just by how often I mentioned them.

Did you leave the remote out on the porch overnight?
