[roger murdock]

Someone at Netflix is trying to explain to their marketing team how to get the Clevelander demographic more interested in Peaky Blinders.

Same here...

Both Peaky Blinders and Yellowstone came highly recommended to me by a million friends - I *love* Westerns, and I *love* gangster movies. 

I dont know why, but neither hit the mark for me. Peaky Blinders I thought I'd absolutely love, and was vibing it for a while, and then just suddenly stopped caring. 

Yellowstone was better, not great.

If you like Westerns check out the Yellowstone prequel series, 1883 and 1923.  They’re both like, exponentially better than Yellowstone.

💯 on both counts of westerns and gangster here.

Maybe it was because Peaky Blinders was billed as “Dude you HAVE TO watch this show, you of all people will love it!” as opposed to if someone told me “It’s a decent watch if you’re bored” and then my expectations would have been lower and perhaps I’d have been more fair.

Basically how I went going into Sons of Anarchy and I enjoyed that ridiculously absurd ride for some reason.

That was me and Vikings, and i’m a high school history teacher. Everyone said i’d love it and I just couldn’t get through it.

But I found The Last Kingdom on my own (same time period but way less hyped and publicized in initial seasons) and ended up loving it

Man same lol.

Vikings was good until Ragnar…

The Last Kingdom was far more enjoyable.

I was a HS history teacher for almost 15 years bro. A colleague recommended PB to me so all the more reason I was surprised I didn’t like it.

The Last Kingdom was great. Uhtred of Bebbanburg was a fair depiction of the England unification process.

Tough game, The Ratbirds are playing as well as anyone currently.

 

All ways want us to win but if we lose a tight game I can live with that.

The absolute best part of that series was Tom Wambsgan as Uhtred’s dad in the pilot 😂

I watched the Outlaw King and from a historical perspective it was pretty spot on. A lot of people didn’t like that movie but it was much more accurate than Braveheart. I will say I got about 30 minutes into previewing it and was like “Noooooot gonna be able to show this one in class…” and that was before the Chris Pine penis scene.

Should we make @Ray Reed feel welcome and make fun of him and embrace him as one of our own with a “LOL Boomer” joke about the gif, or show some awww shucks Midwestern hospitality?
