I thought it was really good, but...

1) The coach needs to remember no matter how good his teams are, it is JuCo ball. It ranks below high school football on the list of things football fans care about. He kind of thinks he is Nick Saban. He sort of remindeds me of that egomaniac from that Alabama high school MTV used to cover.
2) The coach is an asshole. He is getting in physical altercations with officials, trying to fights officials, then goes off on his team when they get in a bench clearing brawl. They are only following the example he sets.
3) I really appreciate the job that the academic advisor did with the players. She is incredibly committed to, and invested in, their success. But I also think there was too much coddling going on to make sure they get passing grades. No way that coddling exists at a their next stop. Nobody is going to be chasing them down making sure they have a pen or pencil and are prepared for the day.

But still really good. Would like to hear what others have to say.

It's cringeworthy, funny, and sad all rolled into one. I'm only four episodes in, but I have time to knock out the last two tonight I think.

The backup running back sneaking onto the kickoff team and returning a TD and then the OC saying he'll take credit for that was pretty hilarious.

The coach is kind of a bully/clown. He doesn't seem to give a shit about his players as evident when you see him talking shit about that Ollie kid after a concussion.

The councilor chick is the star of the show. She really cares about these kids and works her ass off trying to keep them eligible. She was kinda naive though when she was lecturing the QB about hooking up with some random chick and then never planning on calling her again. "Why would I want to be in a relationship? I'm out of here in a few months." Exactly.

I hear the last two episodes are pretty insane. Looking forward to it. And also the hottie councilor chick in some more tight skirts.

That guy and the hottie councilor were the only ones with their shit together. Everyone else was fucking up in one way or another.

I'd bet this coach is crooked as hell. Which I can't blame. If I were coaching JUCO ball I'd be paying recruits like crazy because, who cares?

Apparently Junior College in Mississippi is 13th and 14th grade. I mean, to a degree, this is true for every JuCo across the country but, shit, they've got homecoming with homecoming courts and theme weeks and all manner of bullshit. This is surreal.

It's solid. Second season wasn't as good. I eventually lost interest.

They should have ended the series with the bus plowing, it was perfect. I made it through season three but have no interest in four.

Same. I got about 2 or three episodes into season 3 and gave up.

Just finished season 2 of Narcos. Fucking solid. I wonder if they'll attempt a 3rd season.

by **Tim Wakefield** Thu 29 Sep 2016 - 16:21

There will be a season 3. I think it has good potential with the Cali cartel taking over.

Escobar was so fucking brutal. It made for good tv. Wasn't the Cali cartel a lot less ruthless? It'll be a definite shift from the 1st two seasons.

Ron Ollie is great. Kids like him make me want to coach again.

Nearing the end of narcos s2 as well. Loved the ambush.

This Amanda Knox documentary is pretty good. Perugia, Italy is like the Manitowoc, WI of Europe.

Luke Cage

Just watched the last 5 episodes of Narcos. Thought I'd share that. Not sure what to think.

Netflix will have Narco's season 3 based on post Pablo Escobar Columbia/US "help".

Hence the ambiguous exit interview.

They were definitely setting up the Cali Cartel plotline. They did a good job calling it Narcos and not Escobar or something like that.

Watching London Has Fallen, a lot of shit blowing up. Just what the doctor ordered.

Watch kill zone 2. With Tony jaa.

I like House of Doyle. A comedy detective show that's set n St. Johns Newfoundland with a bunch of Newfies in the cast.

Inspector Morse is good but they are saying it goes away 16 Oct.

Luke Cage a new Netflix original is surprising good.

Actually that is not true.

I haven't checked. Is Netflix even working now, you know, onnacount of the global hack on the internets?

The Gene Cernan documentary 'The Last Man on the Moon' is pretty good.

3rd season of Black Mirror. Intense shit.

The movie Siege of Jadotville is a pretty interesting story of the first UN peacekeeping mission in the Congo in 1962. It wasn't very peaceful.

For you space junkies, just watched a four part series on the space race by the BBC. Highly recommend

Added that to my list.

If you want a character to hate, check out Big Eyes with Amy Adams and Christoph Waltz.

Watch the very last episode of Black Mirror, or the one called White Bear. Each episode it basically it's own short movie so you don't have to watch them in order.
