No, Krasinski as a wimp.
That’s the way Clancy depicted him. It’s the same approach as Clark Kent and when the circumstances occur out comes Superman.

This series seems to be the beginning of the Jack Ryan metamorphism from analyst to field op.

I actually thought it was pretty liberal. The main terrorist as actually a sympathetic character that was only doing this partly as a result of his family dying as a child at the hands of the west. It also goes into how he was treated as a muslim man throughout his life, never getting an opportunity to prosper in Europe.

Overall, it was a very good show

Finished watching Ozarks season 2. Excellent show even with the annoying daughter.
Loved it.

yeah. She is definitely annoying and caused half the problems. Yet it was the parents fault but I guess thats just typical teenage thought processes. Still drove me crazy.

The wife is what I hope to see when I watch mature porn on pornhub, but it always ends up being Kathy Bates or The old lady from Fried Green Tomatoes.

Anybody watching The Haunting of Hill House on Netflix? Only one season so far, but it's holy shit good. I'm only 5 episodes in, but that 5th episode is a definite mind twister. Not your normal scary movie stuff. It's old school scary where it makes you think. No gore, and only a few jump scare type moments, but it's creepy and spooky as hell.

First episode is a little confusing figuring out who everyone is, as they jump back and forth from now to the past when they were kids, but by the 2nd episode it all makes sense and picks up speed with each episode.

Netflix's latest horror series, The Haunting of Hill House, has been praised by critics and horror aficionados alike, with Stephen King calling the series "close to a work of genius".

However, some viewers are finding the series so terrifying they are struggling to sleep, passing out, and some people are claiming they want to vomit from fright.

"I love scary movies/shows but The Haunting of Hill House might be the scariest s**t I have ever seen," wrote one Twitter user. "It made me cry and want to vomit at the same time."
I'm not sure, but it sounds like this will be a one season story, with a new story each season. Like Fargo.

That would be pretty cool. With how fast this story is advancing, I'm not sure they could carry it more than one season.

Yeah, I wouldn't say it's quite that bad. But some people like their drama and over exaggeration.






I might have peed a little, tho.

:unsure
:lol

My wife did hear on her morning radio show one of the DJs talking about how she watched the first episode with her lights off and had to turn them back on to continue watching.

Yeah, just a marketing ploy.

I started watching the first episode and honestly got a little board and turned it off. I think I just wasn't in the right mood though. It was after the game Sunday.

It's never good to try a new show after a loss.
