You've only had 15 years. Take your lashings and get your priorities straight!

Could be worse. You could be like me, who started watching it and got bored and has no plans to ever finish it

Just had to make sure you weren't dropping Crowded House lyrics. As you were.

Sure it does. You're a colossal idiot for this.

Have a feeling it’s not the only big HBO show he hasn’t seen.

I did intend to add True Detective (thought I did), forgot Band Of Brothers.

Edited them into my list above.

Anders · Post by **Anders** » Sat March 25, 2023 6:20 pm

At least you’ve both seen over half of the big ones.

wease · Post by **wease** » Sat March 25, 2023 7:14 pm

I’m ready for a Deadwood rewatch. Mrs Wease didn’t watch it the first time so I may be able to slip it in.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I enjoyed His Dark Materials.

And Westworld (though I only watched season 1).

Also Dream On belongs on that list.

Yes! I thought of it then forgot to add it.
