Watched the first episode of American Gigalo. Pretty decent, looks promising
Watching this on FX / Hulu.
Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhaney bought a Welsh Football Club, for real.
Surprisingly good.

Agree!
I like how much this is more about the townâs relationship with the team than Ryanâs and Robâs purchase of the team.

Iâm really loving it.
Like Ted Lasso, I donât think you have to be a football fan to enjoy it.
Cool, going to check âWelcome to Wrexhamâ out this week. Thanks for the heads up.
If you like this, youâd probably like âSunderland Til I Dieâ It documents the teamâs being relegated twice and all that goes with that.

Starting watching Welcome to Wexham. Not bad, I enjoy the comedy and seeing the fanâs concerns, etc. This show doesnât get into the business side like Sunderland Til I Die does, but itâs still entertaining, so far. I like the dude that represents the owners. Dude basically told the players he didnât know what the hell he was doing. Have to appreciate the honesty.

One of the best things about the show are how short the episodes are. Can squeeze 1 or 2 in on a lunch break.
Ryan Reynolds is one lucky SOB.

Andor looks good and is well made, but itâs slooooooooow.
Yeah, Iâve watched the first episode but havenât made it past that. So, youâre saying it gets better?
They are taking about 3-4 times as long as they need to in order to lay the foundation for the story. I blame the streaming format - too many shows stretch story just to create more content.
The 3rd episode pace picks up from near comatose to merely drowsy, but does have a couple of solid moments. There are also a decent number of details youâre probably missing if youâre not paying full attention.
However, most of my optimism is coming from trailer bits of future episodes that show a bunch more action and Imperial involvement. Space battles, Tie fighters, stormtroopers, etc. Either they showed us everything they have in the trailer or the pace is gonna pick up a good bit as the show continues.
Nothing else besides pacing is bad about this show though. It is really well made aside from stretching the plot way too thin.

The 2nd season kinda lost my attention. I finished it, but I couldnât tell you what happened. Hope the story is a little better this time.

Second season kind of went off the rails when 5 dudes basically took over another countryâs palace. Other that, I enjoyed it.
I really enjoyed HotD #7. Shit finally started happening.
Now that the backstory is nearly done, itâs time to throw down.
This was pretty cool. Did everyone catch it?
For context.
