I've got a buddy that's really into this show....says Berenthal is outstanding. It's on my list that I've gotta get to.
June 3, 20223 yr comment_568064 As someone who has watched The Wire four times through, I can't wait to watch We Own This City. I was waiting until all the episodes were out.

This series isn't as broad as the Wire, it seems to be focussed mostly on the Police perspective, the criminal element are bit players and carry no weight. I can't see it running for more than a season or two as it's telling a very specific story. In some ways I think it's a reaction to the BLM movement, they have the Office of Civil Rights represented in the storyline for show, but in Baltimore, there are no solutions and nobody ever wins, they just keep shuffling the deck.

It's based on a book, so yeah I don't think it's intended as a long running series. I'm interested in checking out the book now though as it's a non-fiction best seller by a Baltimore reporter. I want to see how close the show is to the true story.

I thought that Blue Bloods had that market covered.

June 6, 20223 yr comment_568467 at least the developers are making their own decisions, I would hate to see other streaming services go to hell like Netflix has (poor cancellation decisions, jacking the price) speaking of netflix
June 6, 20223 yr comment_568485 Caught the last Norm MacDonald special called "Nothing Special" on Netflix, filmed the day before he died in surgery, it's fascinating and haunting to watch considering the circumstances, and it's apparent he was very vital and would still be with us had the surgery gone well. Norm did not fade away. Followed up with a panel discussion with Dave Chappelle, David Letterman, Adam Sandler, David Spade, Conan O'Brien, and Molly Shannon, well worth the watch and countless re-watching. Here is the trailer. https://www.netflix.com/ca/title/81128851

June 8, 20223 yr comment_568839 well this is fantastic news, I actually spent quite a bit of time on the site last summer watching the Surreal Life (I had to use a VPN though) wish it had all the episodes though they didn't have the Dirty Laundry episode of season 4 Edited June 8, 20223 yr by iHeart
June 9, 20223 yr comment_568853 Streaming is the future of TV, like it or not. Television networks per se are on their way out.
June 9, 20223 yr comment_568878 the lineup is kind of crappy, guess I'm only watching on Sundays Edited June 9, 20223 yr by iHeart

June 9, 20223 yr comment_568898 Moving Young Rock to Friday seems like a kick in the nuts for that show, which I enjoy (lots of great 90s wrasslin' stuff...)
June 10, 20223 yr comment_569124 well since season 1 was a parody of Brigadoon, the next one will be a parody of Chicago, so I guess they make any parody with the "Schm" prefix https://tvline.com/2022/06/10/schmigadoon-renewed-season-2-chicago-parody-new-returning-cast/
