Supreme HBO drama.....Omo all the evidences was stacked up against Baba 😩.

It was this show i started noticing John Turturro, he absolutely killed it as the Lawyer.

This is easy recommed, if your are looking for gritty court drama.

See if HBO sets out to do a miniseries, be 90% assured it's gonna bang....This, I Know This Much Is True, Sharp Objects and Chernobyl are my favourite mini series from their stable in recent times ✌🏾

abduleez1:


Over 80%?? That's a pretty strong rhetoric. 😳
Can I see fact & figures or data backing this up??

Just curious.

joseph1832:
I remember this series. I didn't finish watching it though. Never got to find out who actually killed the girl.

Though I was amazed how prison changed that skinny little dude. He went from being skinny to one muscled up, hard motherfucker. Lol.

Illusioneffect:

80%😆 when most of the people in Texas here are Hispanics and they are here legally. It's more like 5-15%

Bruh, you don miss o. Never been engrossed in a show this much in the last one month. Something wet I start almost midnight the day before yesterday, I don run finish am yesterday night. 8 epic 1hr episodes.
The show reduced my parroting I've been doing on NL this past one week.

Bruh, prison no be joke. In a space of few months, dude changed from innocent looking and naive fellow into full hard man convict. Bro never remained the same again.

Top tier show. Highly recommended. The best of the best in HBO goodness.

joseph1832:
I won't forget the show in a hurry, even though I didn't get to finish it, because I watched it when I visited a Nairalander in his house. I spent the weekend Friday to Sunday. The show was what we were watching, though I watched it passively.

The Nairalander is FTboi. I, myself and Lezz were there, Obontami came along that Sunday. FTboi is the one who recommended the series. Back then it was on DVD. During the day we watched the series and play PlayStation. In the night, we head to the bar, like Udeme. Lol.

What a massive weekend of beer, beer, and beer, and of course, booty.

I don do things Sha for this Nairaland. Lol.

Reason why I dey find explanation. Texas, California and other Southern parts of USA were actually acquired from Mexico. So naturally, there'd be lots of Hispanic and constitute a big demographic.

Fantastic series I've seen it three times now.

This is a general equiry...do anyone find it easy or hard to sit through multiple reruns of their favorite show, especially those with pretty long runtime in multiple seasons and episodes? 🤔

See i can't lie, personally, it has become extremely difficult, not helped by the fact that just so many good media is out very other week, and i always get the inkling that, i am wasting precious time seeing old media, when i could have been seeing new ones, i have media i copped, way back in 2019, that i haven't even chewed through, just to put things in perspective 😩.

I would love to see BB and GOT, frame by frame, episode by episode from scratch....but GOT alone, will set me back, at least 70hrs free hours, i don't even think i can scrap out, 48 interrupted hours to see shows or movies, within the next 2 months! 😩.

So, i just settle for seeing the occasional one or 2 episodes every now and then...

The concrete proof everyone wanted not to go inside the tree.

Illusioneffect:

That's not actually the reason. Texas was almost completely empty when the States bought- the main factor is migration. Almost 40% of Americans come from migrants - legal migrants

Bruh, me and you dey the same predicament.

I always shout GOT is my best TV show of all time but I know within myself I no fit sit down myself rewatch am. Bruh, that's 8 seasons of wasting time of something I already watched and know about. Time I don't have and could have used on something fresh. There's tons of movies and shows I would like to watch that I haven't.

I remember watching The Batman in 2022 in a cinema and loved it. But few months later when it got released digitally I downloaded it again but I didn't rewatch it. Cos I ask myself, I vividly remember almost everything on this shit. Why waste that hours when I can get something else? The experience in the theatre was breath taking too with the screen and premium speakers. Why downgrade the experience?

The only reason I'll be able to rewatch many shows I loved or watched before is if I have friends or family watching it on TV near me. But me myself? It's hard not cos I think they're not good anymore.

Too many good shows comes out every damn week now. So it's impossible to watch even half of them.

I see stats like these on my TV and movies app and I get scared not barely scratching the surface of my personal watchlist. And new projects both old and new keeps enlarging the list everyday. 😩 👇🏽

I'm replying this solely to concur on that Batman 2022 cinematic experience.
I haven't felt like that since bro, the sound and everything was just very dope.
Can't wait for part 2.

When I see an HBO stamp on a Miniseries, I no dey waste time think too much. I just jump in cos the pedigree and credibility is there, no be today.

With the way The Night Of took my interest from the premise. Jumped in on the show despite not having a standout actor or knowing the director which usually influence how quickly I watch a project these days. I just knew I've found premium goodness.
Was researching on next HBO miniseries to watch when I saw it resurfacing my radar once more. Heard a problem picking what next but The Night Of just sings to me and couldn't keep off the premise outta my head. Went in and wasn't disappointed. A Masterpiece.

My fave HBO miniseries are now: Chernobyl, Lovecraft Country, The Night Of, Watchmen.

Here are some of my top HBO miniseries watchlist....one down, more to go: 👇🏽

how good is that Sharp objects

pu7pl3:


Kept Johnny alive only to shoot him in the head moments later.
That level of badassery shouldn't be killed off Abeg

joseph1832:
Yep. Some opinionated individuals were criticizing it. I enjoyed it anyway.

Kaycee7:
Johnny was feeling too comfortable running his mouth anyhow. He think say she go be like Luca 😂😂

The Night Of.......10/10

A night of sex, drugs and alcohol ends up being a murder case.
What ensues is a harrowing court drama proving the guilt of the defendant Nasir Khan or his innocence.
It tells a harrowing tale of how being in the wrong place at the wrong time for even a minute changes someone's life forever.
Who is the killer? Who killed her? For what reason?

It also a deconstruction look into the brutal world of prison life and the realities and danger that comes with the system. The brutal survivalist world of it. Also has racial profiling as one of its strong themes in the American criminal justice system.

One thing the show does best is it confuses with it's twists and turns who committed the crime.
This is not your average Whodunnit story. This is a lot more complex than that and forces you to fully commit into knowing the man behind the knife. Did he do it? Or not? What motive? Over the course of the story you're casually given posible suspects with strong probability of committing the crime, but the show still finds a way to circle it back to the main suspect?

It's unpredictable cos what you think you know of some characters begins to get shrouded in more mystery the more you get answers about previous questions; various characters and various events leading towards the murder and after the murder.
Man, it's a head cracker. You're jumping from this modafvker definitely did it (he's a psychopath), to nah this other dude did (he's creepy AF), to obviously this other guy probably did it (he's a criminal), nope this one dude got good motive amongst everybody or you're back to prime suspect № 1— Naz, the calm looking college kid.

It's editing is top tier, adds the chills to the atmosphere and suspense, the way it takes detail shots, especially the prison yard — the prison bars, gates, the walls, prison cells.
You clearly are given the feel of what freedom and captivity looks like. What hope and hopelessness looks like.

This is easily amongst the top 5 best HBO Miniseries of all time I've watched.
Top tier dark and gritty psychological thriller with suspense right from the beginning till the last scene in the finale. You were always kept on the edge of your seat.
Knowing how gritty and dark it is when you get familiar to the shows world, you know anything can happen at any moment. It kept that suspense till the very end.

Scavengers Reign 9/10

Every now and then, we get a piece of art that you look at and marvel in wonder at how the creators were able to come up with such a concept and execute it. Scavengers Reign is one of such pieces of art.

Joseph Bennett and Charles Huettner have my respect with what they've created here. A beautiful, terrifying and mesmerizing world.
I know a student or students of nature when I see one and these guys have definitely been studying for a while.

The world of Scavengers Reign is pretty much like what the Earth looked like before man tamed it. Some parts of it almost feel like you're watching an animated episode of Nat Geo Wild with how much care was taken in designing the terrain, as well as, the local flora and fauna.

But enough talk about the world building, the story is also gripping. It follows a group of survivors of a spaceship malfunction as they scavenge for a way to return to the ship and make it back home. These survivors are not all in one location and their individual journeys, innovative survival skill set and resilience are what make each of the characters interesting in their own right.

Two major themes of this show are survival and evolution. And we get to watch these themes take shape and play out with these characters.

The fact that a show like this didn't automatically grab the Emmy for animated show takes my anticipation of what Blue Eye Samurai has to offer to higher levels cos I'm really interested to see how it matches up to or tops what Scavengers Reign cooked.
