People v. OJ Simpson, anyone?
My main question is if it's just because I haven't seen the actor in anything else that I think the guy playing Darden is the absolute best. I mean, lots of them are great, but I'm constantly thinking about the actor playing the real person.
Haven't been here in ages, The People vs. OJ was terrific. I remember it happening but I wasn't into following it; I just remember a few friends talking about it. Sarah Paulson was terrific. Agree, the guy playing Dardon was really good and so was Courtney B. Vance as Johnny Cochran. Travola did a good job of glowering as Shapiro. Marcia Clark did an interesting interview with Variety? No, Hollywood Reporter. [link]
I've got a backlog of Better Call Saul and just started to watch them. What a good show. Like Breaking Bad, they have these terrific camera angles, like seeing Saul drop something into a bin/onto the camera. There's a lot of stillness in many of the scenes they film. Now I can't think of an example, of course, but I've always had the opinion that one of the many reasons that Downton Abbey was so popular is that their camera was often steady and still - it gave one the opportunity to really look at something.
The Walking Dead... not thrilled that Carol is having a moral breakdown - she'd better be okay by next season! - and I'm glad that Morgan is doing more than brooding around with his stick and building a jail cell. I love the actor, whose character was so kick ass and competent in his role in Jericho. I hope Carl and Daryl get haircuts next season, so sick of their greasy and floppy hair. I read in an interview that Charlize Theron is the one who came up with the shaved head for Furiosa, saying, she wouldn't want to be bothering with hair, you know? You would think that people fleeing zombies in Georgia heat would want to have short hair or almost no hair also.
The Night Manager is playing on AMC in the U.S. Shall we discuss it here?
This season of Bates Motel was excellent. I watched it over the last three days.
And I watched the most recent half season of Suits today. It was good, but I think it needs to end soon before it jumps the shark.
I thought that it jumped the shark a while back.
You can definitely make the case for that, but if next season is all about solving cases in prison, it really will have gone too far.
Since we're caught up on most of our regular season shows, we started The Night Manager last night. It is so good!
Night Manager is indeed great.
