What was the last TV Show or Movie you saw, and did you like it?

[ranger]

And I just started. I have high hopes, but while the first episode is fine and all it seems like a typical police drama so far.

and... a police detective (ex-SF of course) who has shot 5 people? I'm guessing Bosch will give Raylan Givens a run for his money when it comes to shootings.

But I like the character and still have high hopes.

But would we watch "accurate" military or police dramas? Would be a lot of slow spots and a few seconds of terror.

Five people? You must've blinked!...

Oh sure, I get that. Heck, Justified is my favorite show and it was far from realistic.

I'm just pointing a couple things I observed that seem typical of the genre so far. Not really a big criticism.

Five was the number Bosch gave on the witness stand during his trial over the shooting in the first episode.

I just watched all 5 seasons of The Wire...in about 2 weeks. Some parts are extremely difficult to watch, but it captures certain aspects urban life that would otherwise go untold in cities such as Baltimore (or Detroit or Oakland or Saint Louis or New Orleans or Cleveland or Camden or...).

I missed it when it originally aired because I was in a stage of life with little free time for TV. I’m glad I took the time to watch it 15 years later. Quite possibly one of the best shows that I’ve ever seen.

Agree, it has many moments of brilliance...humor, pathos, and a comi-tragic view into the abyss.

Glad you enjoyed it. We recently finished watching it (again), for the I don't remember how many'th time.

Had to see the Avengers: Endgame. Pretty good superhero movie. Pretty obvious tugs on your heart strings. Best part is what beer does to the superhero physique. Went to the senior matinee as my wife is correct that such movies are for nerdy types and she won't go.

Gangster Squad: Someone described this as all gangster movie clichés rolled into a single movie. Not a bad description, that. I still liked watching it, once.

The Dark Knight Rises: Eh. Stupid, stupid, stupid script... And I lost the firing pin spring of my 22/45! Which is obviously the fault of the movie. But seriously, the movie was very poorly written and the plot was full of holes, to the point that even though the whole thing was just background noise while I cleaned some guns the poor writing annoyed me.

Saw it tonight. I really enjoyed it a lot. Recommend.

Watched Daylights End on Netflix.

Ok movie with better than average gun stuff. Basically a zombie movie where the survivors actually do things that make some sort of sense.

Trigger warning James Yeager and Sonny Pazuikas are in the movie.
