Season #2 starts 9 June. Women love "Big Little Lies"( February 19, 2017). I think that show is the reason "Killing Eve" ( April 8, 2018) did as well as it did. There was a heightened interest among women to watch murder and intrigue, as long as it involves fashion and flawed husbands. The writers took a chance on making the trophy wife, played by Zoë Kravitz, the kindest and most honorable woman in the bunch. Most women don't like trophy wives, for obvious reasons. So the writers took a bold chance in that plot line. But it pays off in the end. |

| Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25011 | The saving grace of Ozark is Laura Linney. Her acting saves the day. Jason Bateman is bland, all the local residents are cartoon characters, the FBI agents are emotionally challenged. I'm on ep 13 and 11 people have died so far. With little fanfare and zero police investigation. Amazing. This is Missouri, I half expect to see the banjo playing kid from Deliverance on the Langmore porch, that's how stereotypical the writers have made them. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

1st episode was great. Its like a horror movie in that many of the people in the story are not to concerned while the audience is well aware of the massive dangers It so stunning the downplaying of the incident as it develops by the people in charge Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

Just finished season 1 Good surprise reveal at the end that was well handled. Good story, good writing and great acting. The funniest moment, Laura Dern having loud sex. Watching the 1st episode referring to a death, I was under the false impression that the detectives would play a big part in the series That's not the case. I still enjoyed it despite it being a chick series. I'm in for season 2 Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

It seems she is secure with introducing very sultry guest stars.  Lucifer introduces Eve (from Adam and Eve) this season. It would seem that Adam is a bit of a stick in the mud. Always a little girl on girl kissing in the TV show   |

I'm sure I'll like Eve as much as I liked his ridiculous 'mother'. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

| Pacomartin Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 1068 Posts: 12569 | Netflix Originals are overwhelmingly rated TV-MA TV- MA: 61% Mature Audience Only This program is specifically designed to be viewed by adults and therefore may be unsuitable for children under 17. TV-14: 18% Parents Strongly Cautioned- This program contains some material that many parents would find unsuitable for children under 14 years of age.'' TV- PG: 7% Parental Guidance Suggested This program contains material that parents may find unsuitable for younger children. ' TV- G: 1% General Audience- Most parents would find this program suitable for all ages. TV-Y: 3% children from ages 2–6. TV- Y7: 4% This program is designed for children age 7 and above. TV- Y7- FV: 2% Directed to Older Children –Fantasy Violence Not Rated: 2%
Despite promises of making the 4th season of Lucifer much darker, Netflix has decided to keep the TV-14 parental rating it had on Fox. But yes, the celestial being of Lucifer and Amenadiel's mother was fairly disturbing. I think Eve is a much better character. |

| Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25011 | 3rd season of Sneaky Pete on Prime. One of the best shows out there. This season has Ricky Jay's final acting gig. And he really looks. like. crap. He was only 72 but he looks 85. He doesn't look well at all. M. Emmett Walsh is there for 7 episodes. I love this guy, been seeing him in everything since the 60's. And so have you. He's been in 225 projects. 84 years old and looks 90. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
