I didn't mind because I'm not sure I've seen anything else he's done...

This is interesting. https://www.billboard.com/articles/business/8482923/homecoming-score-soundtrack-amazon-series-julia-roberts-music
Using existing scores from such films as The French Connection, Body Heat, Capricorn One, The Eiger Sanction and All The President's Men involved clearing the music with the original rights holders and figuring out a fair licensing price. Since these scores were mainly recorded by union musicians, it also meant working with the American Federation of Musicians (AFM) to find the musicians who played on the sessions to make sure they got paid.

Yeah, the soundtrack was often retro/reminiscent of old stuff. Plus Leonard Cohen!

I didn't know anything about this series until you guys started talking about. I loved Season 1 of Mr. Robot (haven't caught up past that yet) so maybe I'll give Homecoming a shot.

Worth watching the John Leguizamo 'Latin Peoples History for Morons' one off show although there are certainly some 'problematic' moments among the scatter of lols and mostly enervating feelage.

dowd and AA, did you both realise that there's another (very strange) scene after the end credits of the last episode of Homecoming?
― brokenshire (jed_), Monday, 12 November 2018 03:38 (five years ago) link
This was great, thanks for recommending. almost everything about it is interesting - the acting, the casting, the cinematography and the production design.

dowd and AA, did you both realise that there's another (very strange) scene after the end credits of the last episode of Homecoming?yes! and it’s probably the twin-peakiest thing about a vaguely twin-peaky show.

Crap, probably shouldn't have said even that. a mod can delete it if they like.

probably not spoilers to say this show already has a second series on the way, so that scene is clearly feeding us something

Thx for the Homecoming rec (starting tonight). I barely look at Amazon Prime videos so would have missed it.

so Narcos season 4 is technically a companion series and not a sequel. If you know anything about the real story behind the season it promises to be potentially quite a bit darker than 1-3.

I like Hasan Minaj's show. Yeah his delivery gets tiring after a while and yeah it's a bit like brown john oliver, but he's funny, what he's discussed, though hardly groundbreaking, has been good, and I think that Amazon ad sealed the deal.
― akm, Thursday, 15 November 2018 13:56 (five years ago) link
yeah I am enjoying it
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 15 November 2018 15:16 (five years ago) link
it's surprisingly well-thought out and well-written; he's currently the best of the educomedy talk shows. his nonstop wild gesticulating is a bit exhausting but he's almost immediately toning it down so i'm willing to be patient.

On board with new narcosI don’t seem to get tired of this same story over and over again

Brainchild is good - or at least, appeals to my pedagogic nature. I can see the right hating it - as they always do; it has a minority girl as a presenter, is honest about climate change etc. There are things for the left to hate too - I didn't like the inclusion of marines alongside firefighters etc. as people whose job is to help. It's not necessarily wrong, it just struck me as odd.
But it's a lot of fun for kids who are interested in science - and maybe for those who aren't.

new Mexican Cartel Narcos series delivers the usual lurid entertainment values set by previous seasons (up to ep4). A bit heavy heavy handed the way the only apprentice Cartel underling who get's to be repeatedly called by his name is Chapo, again and again - yeah I got it the first time!

the scumbag fed voice-over is quite grating, but it is just as much as fun previous seasons as long as you don't take it too seriously.
