He starts each sentence Russian but finishes them Scottish :grin:

Yeah I clocked him as soon as he appeared :crylol:

As opposed to Sean Connery who starts and ends each sentence in Scottish regardless of character 😁

Just watched this myself. Absolutely superb

Three Pines.

The Canadian Midsummer murders?
Four stories spread over eight episodes with a different story told over the whole series.
The reveal wasn't a massive shock but it ends on a cliffhanger.

It's not terrible.

thought seasons one and two were much better.

didn't do anything that Crimson Tide didn't do, but they did have a much better cast to be fair - imvho that is.

Yes, you could see the ending coming a mile off. There wasn't really any other option.

It was still good but they boxed themselves in.

Season 1 was by far the best but I will still check out a season 4 if they make one.

I realize it's HBO Max, but same difference. Was told at a party on NY's Day that I should watch White Lotus. Yes, I'm a year behind, I realize. What's the consensus here? Should I bother?

Just posted on the "Watch Last Night" thread. It's funny. Worth watching.

Enjoyed both season's on White Lotus to be honest.

S1 the better of the two though.

Well worth a viewing.

Tulsa King with Sly Stallone, think it might be on Paramount +

Decent show, not Oscar worthy but a really enjoyable show that's starting to get better each week, the only downside is the episodes are too short and released every Sunday.
