True true.. I get where you are coming from, it's just funny Cobra Kai has the same kinda story or repetition. Johnny and Daniel join forces, mess up go separate ways, kids flip sides as well, Johnny and Daniel friends again, rinse repeat, very formulmatic.
Still enjoyable as well, huge nostalgia in that show. The new, old guy, is pretty slick, and sets up S5 nicely.
That's true.... the un-realistic-ness of so many programs used to bug the daylights out of me....now I don't care as much. Even my favourite show at the moment Airplane Repo has GOT to be staged here and there. I'm still trying my best to enjoy it as I slowly descend into delusion.

Hate to tell you the Easter Bunny isn't real, but this is from Wikipedia: "Airplane Repo is an American documentary-style fiction show".
Pretty much every 'reality' show on American TV (especially channels like TLC, HGTV, Discovery, etc.) is staged and directed by the producers. Even House Hunters has buyers who have already bought a home, and they pretend to compare it to two other houses selected by the producer. They are coached to complain about everything, too. I remember back when American Chopper started it all, with lots of fake drama, fake deadlines and fake shouting...
I often find stories rooted in reality to be more compelling, personally. I love John le Carré spy stories partly because he used to be a spy for MI6. A big piece of what makes The Wire so compelling is that David Simon based it on his years with cops and dealers as a reporter for the Baltimore Sun.
Then again, I loved Squid Game, too...

Enjoying Witcher S2 right now. Once that's done...Ozarks.

Hmm without Bobby Axelrod, not sure how good it can be.Billions season 6? Just started.
Losing Damian Lewis sucks, loved that guy since Band of Brothers.
Corey Stoll is pretty solid though.
Damien Lewis is an excellent actor. His portrayal of Richard "Dick" Winters in BoB was legendary.
I found Homeland went south quickly without him as well.
I finally got around to watching the Marvel series "Runaways." Not too bad, overall, but I really wish that writers would stop having kids/teens in shows refer to themselves as "kids." Does anyone ever remember calling themselves a kid, out loud, when they were young?
I was gonna say something similar about Ruth. Glad you did it first.
Silent Sea was interesting despite the uneven dubbing.
Rotten was informative and not as polemic as some or the title would imply.. actually learned a fair bit.
Kiss the Ground was also very informative.
We got hooked on
despite it being a poor cousin to The Expanse which is simply the best scifi series ever.
Taxi Driver was kind of fun ,...Korean Robin Hood.
14 Peaks incredible....Sherpas finally get their due in a likely never to be bettered run.
Battle Fish I enjoyed tho I miss Deadliest Catch
Forgotten Battle was a real surprise...based on true events.
MIB International was fun - I like Chris Hemsworth.
The Rescue was excellent ...been waiting for that.

Haha nice. Ruth starts off so so and she just gets more desirable as she grows into her own thing.
Sexy, cool and will Bobbit you if you cross her.
